FINALLY finished drawing and inking the rest of the silver fir tree for the big Santa disPlayset. There's still plenty of background workshop station stuff to do around it, but that was the big obstacle. The project tunnel is starting to show some light way off in the distance!
I took a long walk after a long talk with my lit agent Charlie and a longer talk with my unofficial editor/storypal Kyle, and finally cracked how to make OUTLAW'S APPRENTICE emotionally-driven rather than plot-driven without changing much of the plot. Only had to add 1 page!
For the sake of clarity with editors/art directors, I've gotten into the habit of doing my roughs with a grayscale value pass. It doesn't necessarily reflect exactly what I'm going to do with the finals, but makes clear how I'll use color or value to differentiate planes.

Tightened pencils!
I got an ipad so that i can work not-at-the-desk sometimes (I've gotten to the point where I almost exclusively do my pencils digitally, so to do anything other than fool around I needed something screeny). First sketch on it that I'm pretty happy with (about ten sketches in):
