Yeah, I know how that is. Keeping the momentum going is quite hard for me too in creative endeavors, be it writing or painting minis. I went through a couple of amusing emotions right now. Me being me, my first reaction was "You should suggest a collab! If you both run out of steam easily, it all evens out." But then I thought "Naw, don't force yourself on people. And besides, he's iPoke. You're a nobody. He can probably write much better than you anyway." Followed by "And even worse, what if he agrees?!?!!? D:" Looking back, it was kind of amusing to go through ;)

One of the reasons I have not done collabs in a long time. I usually lose steam very quickly for various reasons, so I try not to involve anyone directly in that unfortunate process if I can XD

Ah. I think I understand. When I was doing a collaboration a couple of months ago I was suddenly a lot less happy with my writing :P

As I said above, the problem is less that these aren't viable as pictures at all and more that none of them had that special something I was looking for, which many artists will tell you is an all too common thing XD

Might be the artists prerogative to self-critique there. Honestly, I'd argue the lot of them could probably be made into something appealing, it's just that none of them struck the vibe I was looking for. Maybe they'll get picked up at some other point in time.

It is interesting to see. Of course, us non-artists can only go "But those look great!" :)

I personally don't really see anything wrong with these, and, i am immensely interested in a sort of behind the scenes, "what doesn't make the cut". Love to see concepts and such, evolution of a scene if you will.
