Sorry about the lack of visual art... :c

I honestly don't know what's wrong with m. every single piece I finish I quickly doubt and then I won't post it, and many ideas either don't get done, I can push myself to draw the first line, and I can't even manage to get stuff half done. And if I get that far; I doubt it even more! I have at least one done right now which I honestly think is not good enough and another which is probably not going to get done because... well, human heads are a bitch and I don't feel like I've done it right. I'm really starting to fall apart art wise, and I can't even push myself to work on the game either!
I don't know what's wrong with me... I guess I'm lucky my literary skills haven't collapsed like anything else.
Anyway you guys can help...?

Another thing you might try doing is maybe kind of rolling with the piece and seeing where it goes. If it starts to come out a different style than what you intended, then maybe try experimenting a bit with that style! You've executed artsy and dirty styles flawlessly in the past, perhaps the reason a drawing is coming out cartoony is because some part of you wants or needs to make something cartoony for some reason. Maybe going with it will satisfy that.
My last idea might be to just take a break for a day or a week, Take some time to relax and then tackle it again with a fresh mind.
Not sure how good this advice is (like I said, I'm not very artistic xD) but those are some of the options that come to my mind.
Game development does sound like a lot of work for just two people, though. It's a type of art in and of itself. Just don't let it stress you out; work on it as you are able to and let it be a fun project. Other things in life cause too much stress, hobbies and art should provide respite instead of adding to it.
