Either you ride the deadline to finish a piece you wouldn't normally, or you crash out with a half-finished figure and zero enthusiasm to finish it. I did exactly that at Christmas with a reddit contest and I've got a 80% done Space Santa lurking in the Trays of Limbo now.<br /><br />Lovely work on the dog! I think this beastie must have been been drawn before ALIENĀ³ (1992) was released with its Dog Alien.
