Have you ever felt stuck with two incomplete ideas, only to realize they might come together into something greater? That's exactly what happened to me while working on two very different drawings in Procreate on my iPad Pro. What's more, I captured the entire process on video. Here's how I combined a hippie on a toilet inspired by Robert Crumb and Peter Bagge and Nessie, the Loch Ness monster, evolved into one unified artwork: marincomics.com/hippie-toilet.html
There's an old saying that "you can't polish a t*rd", and I've often found that to be true in art. When a concept feels fundamentally flawed, no amount of tweaking or refinement will turn it into something worthwhile.
Art is often an unpredictable journey, where initial ideas might evolve in unexpected ways.
