Sometimes tiny bits of progress feel worse than no progress at all. I feel really guilty I dont have more to show yet. I'm not sure whats wrong with me, but I'm having trouble lately wanting to draw for very long.

It doesnt help at all that for some reason my screen keeps randomly blacking out in the middle of doing anything, and nothing seems to help. I've updated my graphics driver and dusted my monitor and all sorts of things but I'm not sure what else to do to fix this.

So for now I just have to live with it I guess. Its a real nuisance. It happened while I was trying to draw this.

My Roku TV is now also in the habit of booting me out of whatever application is using the screen and taking me back to the HOME screen. And this of course includes my PC. At first it was just Youtube, but now I guess its doing it for everything. With my screen constantly being randomly disrupted by both of these, it really hurts my motivation to make art on top of everything else.

Refined the sketch on the Thieves, though they arent perfect by any means. In particular I realize now that I never sketched the detail on Crow's epaulettes, and in general Oracle looks a bit odd in many places. Her hands are way off, even for a sketch.

Once again I feel bad I spent all that time on those slot machines and trying to get them to look right, only for them to end up covered up. Going to draw a few detailed background people on top of the featureless ones, to complete it. I didnt draw as many on the left as on the right, because Joker's hands are going there, adjusting his gloves.

Is any of this interesting without so much progress? I worry that when its just little bits like this, any semblance of updates/wip posts are boring to you all. I'd hope I'm wrong, but I worry that makes people less interested in the development of this project, not more. Maybe I should have waited... but then again, if I spent forever with no updates at all, would that be even worse? What a pickle....
