Taylor and Chase Christmas Roughs (Patreon)

Yesterday I spent the morning roughing out materials for the upcoming con, Anthro New England to prepare for my guest of honor position. For whatever reason that took up a lot of my creative energy, and so when I set to work to make the next illustration, my brain felt like it was moving at half speed...

I want to make a Christmas theme pic with Taylor and Chase, and I started roughing out ideas, but none of them clicked all the way. The concept at the bottom middle I got the furthest on, but ultimately I stopped because something about the composition bugged me.

Usually I have a clear idea of what I want to do for an illustration before I do it, but occasionally my gears will stall when trying to get something going. I'm back to sketching as we speak.
