I'm at a standstill
18 years ago
I just now realized why I haven't been drawing a lot lately. I've grown stale. I've reached a point where I'm familiar enough with the subject matters I draw that it no longer feels like experimentation. That's how I've always viewed it; I'd experiment with different anatomy styles, background techniques, still life, etc. But I'm just not feeling it anymore.
I was really disappointed with my last upload, Kali Reposing. Same tired old herm with the same tired facial expression and pose, shaded with the same techniques I've been using for years. The background was somewhat experimental, but even that didn't help.
Y'know what I mean? You wanna try something different, something challenging, but the funk you're in just draws you deeper and deeper down.
I need to work on my requests and trades. That'd be something different. And while I'm at it ... need to browse some tutorial sites ... experiment with different digital techniques ...
... Also, why am I uploading to FAP? I already sink an hour or more everyday into this place. I don't need to be doing it twice.

Get OpenCanvas open and get someone equally insane on the line and just play. Hell, I'd do it with you if you wanted... and promised not to draw anything too creepy =)
Otherwise, go for a new medium. Cardboard, clay, animation, paint, faeces, carving.
It'll at least offer a challenge.
Requests and trades might not be so clever if you can't even get motivated to pick up a pencil. Not only will you not be drawing, but you'll have a crowd of people asking you when you be, because they've been holding off a wank for weeks.
Or just stop whining and draw sexy, giant squirrel and raccoon girls =)
As for the sexy giant squirrel and raccoon girls...hey, tons of folks do that too. ^_^ But there's always room for more! XD
I've always taken liking to your portraits and close ups. That one you did of the ZombieCat persona was simply amazing and doing things like that is always a nice direction to go to. If you need ideas, by all means, ask us viewers or just look around and see what's around you in life and draw some inspiration from the environment :^)
Also, am I the only one who draws just for fun anymore? It seems that everyone draws for some other reason these days.
Using preliminaries? Screw that start with very detailed eyes and build a body around it. Start with the torso in an odd angle and go from there. I donno, its possable to draw the same thing 100 times and it can still be visually uinque every time.
Go mad with it
Name him Bill.
????
Profit!
That said, I think I may have a new venture for you.... something that is very hard to get to go stale! Online Furry Sex Roleplaying. Basically, advanced cyberfucking!
Pop me a note so I can start teaching [and screwing with] you.
How would a hyper herm react to suddenly haveing 'normal' proportions...
Or to no longer being a herm at all?
...I'm kinda amused at the fact of some oversized herm crying over a shrinked genital.
*A'splode! Blooosh.*...Ah..nasty..
"Oh, cool! ... wait... ... NOW what do I do?"
"NOTHING! YOU BEAT THE GAME!! IT'S OVER!!!!! *GAMEOVERSCREEN*"
"... well, fuck. THAT was unfulfilling..."
This always happens to me, but usually after LITERALLY beating a game >_>
It's kind of scary, hearing that it happens in real life too o.o;
Or I dunno you could just draw Raei(or Kali) enjoying some hot drink at a cafe while a blizzard is raging outside without any at least apparent perversions... and then add a small chibi panel at the lower right corner to dispel such beliefs :3 What could be in the chibi panel? Raei going nude? Kitchen calling Kali that they have run out of cream? Or you could just leave out the chibi panel too I guess ^^
Y'know the comic on my userpage? My featured submission? That's actually page five or six of a comic I started years ago with the intent to actually tell some kind of story with the setting I had in mind. But I couldn't focus. After a couple of panels it veered off into whatever I happened to be thinking about at the moment. I add a few panels every year or so, just to keep it alive.
But, funny enough, I think I've taken a smidgen of my own advice with this comment I sent to you. At work today during lunch, I sat down, folded a piece of 9x12 printer paper in half, and started drawing frames on it... today I got four frames done, and I'm thinking it may be a narrative about my main fursona's backstory.
I think the best art can come when you see an idea and AT THAT INSTANT sit down and start doing it o.o very spontanious. I think the Gods of ARTNESS enjoy spontaniety.
I like what you've posted so far, even if you feel you're spent or bored of drawing the same thing again and again lately.
Extra detail on the changing breasts and hips. :D
Expect that I probably would learn towards hermaphrodite than female myself. D:
....
Y'know, I think I need one of those for work.
I got a similar problems kinda though... I have ideas, but I never feel like doing them. D:
... Oh, wait. What was the webpage you showed me? ... Ah, processing.org! Site's kinda sluggish though. Or hell, I could just mess around with scripting in SL again.
THIS IS ME RAMBLING TOO MUCH.
You could contact me for some starter tips, hehe.
LSL in Second life is c-like as well so if you messed around with LSL before then... you shouldn't have too many problems.
Or draw a weird species. Here, first thing to pop into my head:
giant ground sloth
Space Marines vs. Eldar.
Now go!
