A Bit of the 'Wall' Phenomenon

[tealin]

Yeah. I'm really suffering for lack of artistic challenge ... I'm not getting any at work and I don't have enough inspiration or influences at home. I have not only hit a wall but am gradually slipping down it and before long it'll be like I've never been to animation school at all.... I just have to make myself slog through it because I know that's the only way to beat it. It's so discouraging.

Anyway, the purpose of the cut: Here's my first halfway-decent Otto Chriek ... still not right but at least he's starting to look a bit more like himself.



Perhaps I'll cheer up if I work on the world's only The Truth/FLCL/Red Dwarf crossover gag sketch. If it doesn't frustrate me too much.

Ooh hey, nothing like procrastination and sticking one's head in the sand to avoid unpleasant feelings! Here's a test recently found on buttfacemakani's journal...

Forgive me, but ... Los Angeles, the Middle East, and Mexico are reserved, calm, and intellectual? Am I missing something?

haha, they keep calling him a muse, even though he's Really Great Inspiration/Mad Skillz (In Disguise). Wouldn't it be awesome if that actually HAPPENED? But crossovers tend to help, and it isn't as if you've read every single good fantasy book in the world. I'm sure you'll find one you'll be inspired by! Personally, I'd like to see something from Soul Music. I'd LOVE to see Death with a party hat on, with the IS THIS FUN lettering on it. OR Death of rats hacking off a lump of cheese. Figures they're skeletons, so they're a pain in the butt to draw. So do some Band With Rocks In.
By the way... am I the only one who noticed that you were inpired to draw something by your lack of inspiration?
