Thanks for sharing! I definitely relate here. It’s a lot of pressure knowing that this one illustration is what’s going to be used as your official reference. I find it helps to draw each separately and then put them all together in one file on some art software. It takes away the pressure if you think of each model pose as its own unique thing and not one single piece!

I know it has happen to me, and that comes from not practicing the fundamentals.

Thank you for taking the time to share! I think having good art can go a long way! The best way I can recommend to help with ideas is to watch or read a LOT. The next time you're viewing something you enjoy, jot down on your phone notepad what exactly you liked about it. Honestly, no idea is 100% original anymore, all creators just mix and match pieces they like from other stories and put their own flavor on it. If you like drawing a specific thing more than others, that might help you settle on a genre. Nobody likes working on a project they personally wouldn't watch/read themselves, so take your time discovering what YOU like. I hope that made sense LOL. Best of luck!!
