A few days ago I was up ridiculously late, and I was inspired by the stark, rich visual poetry of barren branches silhouetted against a clear predawn sky.

The original version of this had no stars, but it felt a bit incomplete to me, so I added the stars at the last minute.
You'd think drawing all these snowflakes would be slowing down production of Just Cause, but it's actually sped it up considerably; after only 19 days of work, I'm just two panels away from finishing the next 53-panel page.
Having this bit of variety helps to extend my attention span and keep me from getting bored of drawing the same type of thing all the time, which has increased the amount of time I spend on my art overall.
Because I'm drawing the snowflakes at such high resolution, it often takes Krita so long to complete each stroke that I have time to work on my comic in Photoshop while I'm waiting for it to load.
All in all, I'm really glad I discovered this new hobby.
