Everyone has blocks now a then, but when you're suddenly enlightened, what inspires you?

Is it something you see walking down the street? A song you hear? Another work of art? Share your current inspirations, it could inspire others too. (:

My inspiration is the fact that I haven’t yet made anything that I’ve liked. That might sound kind of silly, but I’m determined to make something that I think is perfect, and since I rarely like anything I make, I get inspired to just try and make something better regardless or not of whether my feeble attempts have yet been up to par in comparison to someone else’s stuff. I dunno. I have yet to make something truly outstanding, so I’ll keep trying.




...That was a motivational speech, wasn’t it? =p.

Sometimes reading what other people write do the trick, or playing a certain game and encountering those 'awww' moments or the very emotional scenes also work. Apart from a noobish poetry I'm working on (inspired by Apocalyptica <3), I'm not getting inspired enough to do any writing or graphic stuff on impulse.

Randomly browsing deviantART often does the trick. Otherwise, just playing a game or watching anime.

Not that any of these have made me actually get up (or, er, sit down) and do anything lately.

Basically, though, gimme a cool dude or a cute girl, and I'm inspired. "Motivated," however, is a whole 'nother story. Ever since getting out of school, I just can't seem to be bothered to pick up a pencil and actually do anything, however "inspired" I may be. I've got a back log of characters I want to draw, and it only continues to build.

(I don't think inspiration is the problem these days. I'm just so frustrated with myself. )

Oh, DA can be such a great place for that type of thing. *__* I always get impressed to try out painting on wood panels after seeing luminattii's stuff.

Ummm, recently I watched Tekkonkinkreet, which is seriously one of the most visually stunning anime films I've ever seen. D: D: D: Ever since I watched it, I've been on a drawing kick.



WIN!!

Tekkonkinkreet... I know that name somehow...
Somehow #1
Somehow #2

It is seriously as awesome as that -coey- guy makes it sound. <:D

Girl. =P (Great artist, by the way.) Anyway, perhaps I'll have to give it a look sometime. My anime list is slowly diminishing lately, anyway, so something new to watch is welcome.

somehow -coey- makes me think corey, SO SHE'S A GUY TO ME. ;o; (lols not.) sounds about right though. Most girls I know love Tekkonkinkreet, and most guys I know don't even know what it is. But it's got amazing art and storyline. The way the characters are drawn is so unique and kooky, it's unlike anything I've seen in animation before! *___* All the lines, the way proportions are exaggerated and understressed....it's so amazing.

Inspiration comes from what I'm really into at the time. Sometimes if I'm watching Kenshin I'll be really motivated by their stories, or from Persona 3 I always get emotionally attached to their stories so I do sigs and stuff as dedication.

Sometimes in the sports world (I love sports, im american lol), I'll do wallpapers and sigs for my players that I really like. but my inspiration usually comes from what I'm most interested in at the time

Browsing through Google and saw something that I like.

I always have an idea to make a sig but that Idea will instantly been pushed away when I saw another image that appeals to me =)

"Lets do a game signature..... Woo Blythe Dolls! Lets do a Blythe Doll signature" yeah like this.

So yeah, I don't like to drag my works to different days because the next day that "feeling" would be gone.
