Don’t ask me why, but I decided to draw a simple, updated version of Lorraine as a pirate. This time she has her pants.
I’ve done more stuff for this comic since I announced its retirement than I have in the past several years combined. I am on a new (to me) ADHD medicine and it has really cleared the cobwebs out of my brain. I’ve been drawing a lot since the end of August, as evident by the Halloween covers I drew. I really haven’t drawn anything in at least 3 or 4 years now. Maybe an occasional piece, but nothing significant. So it feels really good to be able to focus on my drawing. I’m very rusty, so by doing updating drawings like the one above, it helps me get back my groove.
Holy shit! I never knew there was a genre of music called “Pirate Metal” until this very day! I just discovered Alestorm who hail from Scotland, but it’s this fun rockin’ cover of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” theme that caught my eye. Arrr… enjoy ye’ mates!
No sense in provoking a relapse. Stick with the drawings and see what comes. Good health.
Thank you! I am not pushing myself, but rather letting my creative flow guide how much I do or do not draw. As with anything, you go through spurts of energy, and then settle back for a bit. After struggling with crippling depression for years, and suffering a minor stroke in 2017, I’m just thrilled to be drawing again in any shape or form. If I do nothing be redraw my old stuff, then so be it. I’m sure I’ll do more, but I am not setting any self-imposed deadlines for myself. I just do what comes out.
Find what comforts you and makes you happy, and do what you can. nobody is pressuring you to do anything but do enjoy when you draw and share it with us. thank you!
Lorraine makes one sexy Pirate even Rubo the Cruel and Pirates of Penzance would want her in their crew. It would be cool if you did the Village People and Buddett singing in the Navy aboard the USS Iwo Jima in a Bob hope show. I drew George W Bush Dancing with the Village People dressed as a diaper man aboard the USS Abe Lincoln after the 2003 invasion of Iraq since his infantile sorta like Donald Trump. Maybe Lorraine could dance with the Village People aboard the USS West Virginia I dreamed I was the first female captain aboard that cruiser. In my dream just to be a sport with my crew I was caught by the shore patrol in a dive in San Diego posing beside miss Kentucky, miss Pennsylvania and miss Wisconsin wearing my navy uniform. But the skirt was a mini and I was in heels still it looked snappy the ladies I was posing with wore heels and thigh highs bikinis and hot pants. I woke up before being arrested let alone being put on trial. Anyway just pace yourself after all I love your as is and throw Jeff to the shore crabs give him the pinch owwwwww!
