Alternatively, a dog doing taxes. I guess this is another vent art of sorts.

And the song for today is Grand Central. Rant below, so feel free to skip it.

Alright. So here's the thing. I've been stressing out for weeks about my art just hitting a stagnant point, not progressing or improving anywhere and just hitting this weird point of... Stuff is decent but... When you break it down to the fundamentals, its always centered, focal length always between 70-200mm (Nikon AF-S 55-200mm F4-5.6G ED VR II DX anyone?), shallow depth of field of between f1.8 to f1.2, full on anarchy with composition (This render uses golden triangle ration for the HANDS! THAT'S NOT HOW YOU USE GOLDEN TRIANGLES!) where most of the time the render is using the balance composition. Also color theory is out of the god damn window, I'm red/green colorblind and most of the time I need to ask for friends if the colors look alright, if the render is not too saturated or desaturated and etc. Yes, you're not meant to be defined by the rules and you're supposed to break them, but in order to break them you have to master them in the first place, and I have definitely not mastered them neither in renders or photography.

This whole thing makes me feel frustrated to the point where I want to throw things.
