Woah...her Torso must be made out of the same material as the octopuses tentacles.
I was thinking the point was that she is just like the octopus with perhaps no spine....

It all looked fine until I looked at how she is turned then I thought wtf?
 
Don't mind my asking,but....is the lower bit supposed to be the front or the back of her legs/abdomen? Is that the topside of a belly button or an ass crack showing? I honestly can't tell - either way something went wrong with her somewhere...Or am I just looking at it from a horribly wrong angle?
Anyway, the top half is cute and well done :)

I see a hip bone. Is that what you're talking about? Her left hip is facing you, and her belly is left.

Most of the confusion is likely being caused not by the angle, but from the shitty proportions.
 
I'm writing something.

I'm sort of making it up as I go along except for a few basic plot points I want to get around to.

I'm beginning to wonder if there will be some switch that flips in my head when I can confidently say "I am pleased with what I have written."

Also, I really need to stop going back reading over what I had written the previous day(s). I am always editing and adjusting things. Before I know it I m after rewriting full sections and have made no real progress.
 
That's really the trick to it - when you sit down, write. Don't look at what you wrote before, don't edit anything. Get it down, get it finished, then worry about polishing it.
 
The trouble with revision is that in doing so, you risk jumping out of your stream of thought. Get the entire story poured out on paper first, then worry about going back over it to remove sprue and polish it later. If you stop to worry about details, your continuity will suffer, and the seams will show.

EDIT: For a better analogy...you don't clean out the bowl until you're sure you're done puking. Otherwise it's just extra work for nothin'.

Things I never thought I'd hear myself say #271- "Be careful swinging that velociraptor around in the living room!"

It was almost as good as the time I told him not to fire a cannon at his sister.

You know, when I first started martial arts training, I was amazed by how the experienced guys could make a sharp *crack* just by punching or kicking thin air. Now I can do it, too, and it's even cooler. I feel like I have superpowers.
 
For some reason, reading "Hai!" "Kyai!" "Ho!" brought the 3 Ninjas to the forefront of my mind. Never mind I haven't seen that movie in years, and never mind that I watched the Karate Kid just last week. THREE NINJAS. As in Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum.
Those three ninjas.

Random Pondering: I'm wondering if I should start drawing hot girls and posting them on tumblr. It would be nice to get a few commissions and to have more than one follower.
 
Weird, I just had a rapid phone interview where I had to do the classic count the f's in a sentence based on an email I was about to receive.
