Nibbled to death by mice

[crowdog66]

You know, I'm very much aware of how fortunate I am to be able to do the thing I love most (art) and be paid for it.

I'm also acutely grateful to be working with Phil Foglio, who has been a favorite artist of mine since I was a little fannish sprog.

That said, working on Girl Genius on a three-page-a-week schedule is like being perpetually nibbled to death by relay teams of mice. Or being systematically flayed, inch by slow inch, in such a way that the skin grows back to permit the flaying to resume at the starting point once my toes have been peeled.

I still have fifteen freakin' pages to go on this issue, many of which haven't even had basic color flats laid yet, and several of which look like they'll require intricate painting (nighttime scenes with firelight).

*beats head on monitor, sobs fitfully*

I don't know if I can do this, or how I'll live with myself if I don't.
