So, after a long period of transition I feel my time management skills and overall availability will/probably/hopefully be well enough for me to commit myself to another project. There is no question, however, to my strong desire to participate in the OTC, Artists-at-the-Ready (https://www.deviantart.com/artists-at-the-ready) . I was bummed when I missed the audition two years ago and ecstatic when I happened upon it again.
And here I find myself with ample audition time, an itch in my drawing hand, and a few select characters running in my mind.
