procrastinating on yuletart

I ought to be working on my yuletart gift, but despite having set aside time to start on it on several days the last two weeks (including today and yesterday), I'm still no further than having an idea and having looked for some references (not even specific stuff for poses or such yet, more of the general inspirational, thematic and character kind -- read: I wasted a lot of time clicking in pretty pictures on the internet...). And the artist check-in period starts tomorrow and into the week, so I need to have some tangible progress soon even though the final deadline isn't until the 8th. :/

And just now I tried to unsuccessfully doodle my avatar in Iron Man armor once again instead of drawing what I need to. I've been wanting some Avengers icons for a while now, but the nose and ears and the armor don't work well together. I guess trying to draw anything is a step in the right direction of sorts, even if I picked the longtime hopeless doodle.
