Art Block Go *Boom!!*

Two things to discuss here:

:bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen:
:bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen:

First, an explanation of the picture:
Several months ago (May 2011, to be exact), I hosted a contest over at the Kim Possible Discussion Forum on Fanfiction.net that challenged writers to take a minor character from the show Kim Possible and make them the star. Once the contest ended, votes were cast by members of the forum, and the winner turned out to be :iconlukedanger: with his excellent story, Number Two. I promised him a prize, and this is me fulfilling that long overdue promise.

And now, an actual entry to the journal. 
It's a silly title, I know :lmao:, but after months of the dreaded ARTIST'S BLOCK I've finally completed another piece. It's the award earned by the fellow above for winning the contest I mentioned.  And he graciously allowed me to post it for the rest of you to see.

So let's see, that leaves the following projects still on my plate:

:bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack:

:bulletgreen: Approximately 3 pictures per chapter (all classified as "in progress" at the moment) for my original Kim Possible fanfiction, which between the two installments Changes and G.V.U.: The Freshman Rush (currently at Chapter 44) sit at about...65 CHAPTERS :faint:.........in other words, a LOT GARGANTUAN TON of pictures to finish...

:bulletgreen: Complete (and post) the final chapters of G.V.U.: The Freshman Rush so that I can at last move on to the next installment in the series.

:bulletgreen: An entry for a "Kim Possible 10th Anniversary" Fanfic Contest over at FF.net (10 years of the "I can do anything!" redhead: June 7, 2002 - June 7, 2012).

:bulletgreen: Various other fanfictions that have been twisting around in my head and on my computer...

:bulletgreen: Numerous other Kim Possible fanart projects (also all in progress)...

:bulletgreen: FOUR original novels (which may or not ever see the light of day here...I have yet to decide...)

:bulletgreen: Various other fanart pieces (comprising of various fandoms: Danny Phantom, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Avatar: The Legend of Korra, Xena: Warrior Princess, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, etc., etc., etc.

:bulletgreen: And oh, so much more to do...

:bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack:

I guess the good news is still that the art block is gone, and the motor is running at full speed once more.  But I almost wish the muses would give my brain a rest before it overheats...

:bulletgreen::bulletblack::bulletgreen::bulletblack::bulletgreen::bulletblack:

:bulletblack::bulletgreen::bulletblack::bulletgreen::bulletblack::bulletgreen:

:bulletgreen::bulletblack::bulletgreen::bulletblack::bulletgreen::bulletblack:

...just as long as that break doesn't include another Art Block, that is. :)
