^WHAT THIS IS ABOUT^
Trying to be artistic is so depressing. This is about as true to what my style was like when I drew with paper and pencil back in high school. It's so frustrating. When I'm at work I think of some many things I want to draw. But, when I'm home and shit down to draw I lose it all in a flash....
I've already got ideas for three OS's I want to draw. My Snow Leopard Sona, A tiny Australian type mouse girl with the fluffy tip tail, and possible a Curvy Corgi female that's very tall for her bread. I've even thought of some simple one page comic ideas.....
I'm starting to think I'm the kind of artist that can't start at making his own base but, has to use a preexisting piece to "spring board" the start of his own original stuff.... Which in the worse way could be translated as art stilling..... Which I don't want to do and keep original with my own skills...

You could always open requests so others figure out the ideas for you! =D

Ideas aren't the problem. It's the vanishing inspiration and art block. Let me try to explain it this way. In my mind I see clearly what I want. But, when I shit down to draw it it's like the part of my mind for drawing just shuts off. Does that make since?

I think it does. Although I lose a lot more the inspiration when I shit down!

OP
I'm REALLY hoping I'm not one of those artist that needs to be a certain level of drunk to draw.... I don't want to destroy my health for arts T_T
