After rereading the recent chapter of wolves I got to thinking:

Do you feel that a scene like in this drawing may be a possibility in the future of Wolves? 

*shrugs*

You should do some commissions! Your art rocks. Did you get hit from this snow crap?

I would, but my mind is already in the gutter.

Okay, I want to know how your mind went in the gutter on this.

hmmm to give it to krista/christa? ‘Cause she’s smooth like that.

I'm going to guess Ymir. *crosses fingers*

Knitting can be difficult. Your stitches are really even! It’s looking rad.

It's taken me a while to come around to it, but I'm remembering how satisfying it is to make something physical with your hands that is not filling up a notebook.  (That and I have designs on a big red scarf for myself after my mom's is done.  I'm not influenced by SNK at all.)

Everything, really.  I take inspiration from pictures and drawings and paintings, good songs and the swaying beats inside them, the sharp noises leaves make in autumn under shuffling footsteps, the purr of my cat when she's snuggled up to my chest under the blankets, the unreasonable beauty of making a long arcing turn onto the highway as the sun is cresting the mountains in the east while a heartwrenching song starts to play from my ipod, the desperation to get out of a bad mood, the strong intent to stay in a good mood, the desire to relax after a long day before bed, the warmth of being buried under blankets on my couch on the weekend, good books, good movies, words and the concepts behind them--

The thing is, I've cultivated an attitude that allows inspiration to come to me from very small things, and this is why you see me produce so much.  Relying on big, earth-shaking things like "perfect" works of art to inspire you peters out really quickly.  Wolves of the North?  That was inspired by someone hoping made a werewolf AU along with a WIP picture.  Chigai?  Literally inspired by the Japanese word "chigai."  Frontierstuck was based off another WIP.
