Diffaculty drawing chapter 3

So chapter 3 has been a huge problem. It has been the most difficult to draw. And not just on a physical draw correctly kind of way. But also in the area of motivation. It has taken me some time to get past that. Here are the problems I have had to overcome

- introduction of the poly pirates
Not that I’m in the closet about being poly or anything it’s just I want to be more then “father knows best of. Polyamory”. Who wants to read about people who are perfect I want to have some real issues to overcome without giving the lifestyle reputation of being dysfunctional. So I have been trying to write something that will be fun at the same time not be a “how to manual”

- Nudity. What!!!! Nudity?!?! Yes the pirates get necked. I don’t feel like censoring my work at the same time it’s part of the story. So I have been working on a compromise. I’m also going to have a few versions when to goes to print. These will very from the version I would let my son read to version that will have disclaimers all over it. Do other writers run into this problem?

- violence
I’m not talking about your standard comic book violence. I’m talking about harming someone on a deep personal level. I had a hard time drawing this because I could not relate to someone who would want to do such a thing. I had to resort to reading some clinical info as well as some fiction. Both of those will give me nightmares. However this has made the scene where bjorn gets his revenge on such violent and twisted individual so much clearer in my mind. In fact my problem is finding a reason for bjorn not killing him.
