grOw/stOry#14, well under way!

It's been quite a while since my last update. This is due to a number of factors, all contributing to a period of slow "grOw" progress. However, that is not to say little has been done. On the contrary, quite a bit of work has been made to the upcoming grOw/stOry #14 — originally named "Sorority Boobfest" — in the past few weeks.

A combination of "real life work", holidays, a little "writer's block", as well as just "real life" all combined into a maelstrom of forces that dealt me a blow. It is very difficult to turn on the "creativity" when there is a lot of stress in your life. This made the ongoing rewriting of the stOry a true chore.

However, I trudged my way through it all, gathering my resolve and reinvigorating my creative juices.  I have finished the initial draft of the rewrite, which now totals at about 24,700 words.  I will still be reworking some of the scenes, as well as adding some more details that were forgotten. However, this is where I needed to be to get the drawings started. And, in the last 2 days, I've made a herculean effort and have completed 13 of the pencil drawings. The story is long enough, and "juicy" enough, that I may well go beyond the normal 13-16 drawings in the typical grOw/stOry. How many, is still up in the air.

Enjoy the first pencil preview. I hope to start posting a few color previews in the next 2 weeks. Unfortunately, it is hard to say at this point when the release can be expected, and the chance of a December release is slim. But you never know!

Wow! If that sample is any indication, this will be awesome. That has to be among your best drawings, veer.
