I've stopped drawing. Or rather, I've stopped finishing stuff.
I'm not sure if I've lost the ability, or if it's simply the motivation that's gone, but I've been unable to get anything done lately. I guess art's just stopped being fun for me, y'know? It was once a creative outlet for me, an opportunity to relax and destress; now it causes me even more stress than what drives me to draw. Maybe it's time to look for a new hobby.
A bunch of things in various degrees of completion, that I will probably never finish:
Admittedly I started this quite a while back. It's gone nowhere since. No reason to think that it ever will.
This was supposed to be a tribute to Elgar's famous Pomp & Circumstance March No. 1, but it was halfway done when a friend posted an image that was a little too close to this style and subject for comfort. I never got back to it.
An attempt to redraw my old picture, Go Ahead, Do Your Worst. Somehow, this never got anywhere either.
What had started out as a joke about my "Just Plain Psychotic" Revan has now fallen so flat I don't know where to begin salvaging it.
This was inspired by my many band and orchestra rehearsals. Obviously, not inspired enough.
This is just plain acrylic crap. I can't bear looking at it, much less finishing it.
I've been trying to rescue this picture on and off over the past year or so. It had so much story potential, and yet failed so badly.

I'm sorry! It's really no fun when you lose all your inspiration and motivation. I'm right there with you. Maybe for a couple of years you need to go back to writing H2G2 articles...then cycle out of that and go back to painting. ;)
You need to do what you need to do. I am selfish though. I miss you. I miss your art, but I miss you more.
