Road Trip and Knowing When To Quit

What's up everyone!

   So I have a question to ask... when your working on something that involves your own creativity, how long do you work on it before you say, "I'm finished..." I have this horrible problem, when I'm almost finished with a painting, I just can't stop. I keep seeing problems and I keep changing things around that might not even need changed! I just can't put it down.

   I ask this... because I struggled with this design I created of a witch. I'm still not happy with it... but I FORCED myself away from my wacom tablet and computer. After awhile it was like every new stroke I made... hurt the design. :(

   Below is the process I went through creating the witch.
Basic sketch ... anatomy is way off

Added color and some minor detail... anatomy is still way off

More color and detail... anatomy is better but still off
I'm still not happy with it, but I made myself stop and move on. I debated even posting this design online...

   So this weekend I am heading up to Grand Junction, helping my wonderful girlfriend Heather shoot a wedding. I've never been there and I'm always up for going to new places! I have been craving the mountains too so I'm way excited! Well that's it for this post, have a great weekend everyone!

p.s. I just bought Fallout: New Vegas and I'm playing through the game in hardcore mode. This should be interesting! ;)
