I've also put in a poll (to the right when you click). I know I don't get massive tons of traffic or anything, but I was contemplating some of the things in my scraps. I suspect most people don't even bother looking there, and I'm actually kind of proud of some of the stuff I've got there. But I'm not sure if any of it belongs in my main gallery or not. Most of them have been done for months now, as far as the pencil work goes, but because I've been so slow about getting "Tattoos and Silk" finished, I haven't gone back to any of the other sketches I was planning to turn into paintings yet. So I was thinking maybe a few of those scraps might get more love if I made them a bit more visible.

I've tried to restart with "Tattoos..." a couple of times in the last few days, but I'm really struggling with the right skin tone. I'm still torn between a relatively normal, though fairly pale, human skin color, and something more demonic, like white or pale bluish flesh. I'm afraid to choose and get too far along, only to find I don't like it when I've put in hours of work. I need to get over it and just get moving. I've wasted more time agonizing over it than it would take to have done it both ways from scratch and compare them. Ah well.
