I did it! I wasn't sure what to expect throwing for the first time since my arm ... I have to change positions to do certain things as I can't put pressure on my elbow. Don't think I'll be doing anything large for some time but so glad to be back!

You know, I've had the thought recently that girl clothes are much cooler than guy clothes. It's slowly changing but there seems to be far less room for different looks and experimentation, and all the above definitely look cool as fuck.
(Of course, the things that men have better than women in our culture far outweigh that clothes issue!)
Gah, had a last minute loss of confidence in the strip I'm submitting. The truth is I don't think the first page is good enough to win and it's the weakest of the 4 pages... which is a problem because they choose the winner based off the first page (the whole lot is used to get through to the final). It's just a matter of one panel that lets it down and I know I'd forever regret submitting what I know I can do better with and so I've decided to redraw it from scratch with a different composition.
I've still got three days so I should be able to redraw it but it makes me nervous this close to deadline 😫

Good luck Paul! I hope you get it sorted out and get your confidence back. Don't overthink it!!!

We have faith in you, so push aside the doubt! (haha, I know, way easier for me to say it, than me to do it with my own projects... but I'm saying it anyway!) Let us know how it goes! I don't find many cool premade girl's clothes, and usually everything I want is only available in dude's sizes, so it might just be a grass is greener situation on that one

Thanks for the pep talks 😜 Thankfully the harder part of what I had to redraw, I managed to finish today, so it looks like I'll have plenty of time to finish it before the weekend (and also allowing for any unexpected issues, such as my printer being a dick). Here's a comparison of the old version with what I've done with the new version. I think the new version works much better and reads a little easier. That empty panel on the new one shouldn't be too difficult as it's a less dynamic shot.

Thanks.... this is a really hard script (they give all entrants the same one to draw) so I'm hoping it scared off some of the competition ha.

Ok, I'm totally freaking tfo right now. The event coordinator contacted me today about my vendor slot. It's going to be a themed event, so we're supposed to decorate our booths with a freaks and sideshow theme... I don't decorate, I'm so clueless... and so nervous. I don't like being in groups of people, let alone, trying to represent/advertise my creations, or be in a spotlight of any kind (unless I'm skating, then I zone everything else out, haha). I only have 2 weeks to prepare too, including figuring out a babysitter, and arranging drop off with my older kids, because of school/custody schedules.

If possible, can you look up what other people have done to decorate their booths before and use that as inspiration? I can relate a little, I had a table at a con once and that was incredibly daunting
