We should have a 'motivational loss intervention' forum. It's not just you, it happens to a lot here. Obviously speaking, procrastination can be the artist's worst enemy. I know that sounded like a lame uninsightful response, but best wishes.
We can't help with your motivation problems. Realize that nobody can do the work for you . You have to work hard for what you want to achieve in life. Nobody can do that for you. so making threads like these are really pointless. - also agree with ae.
I sympathise, because recently I have been struggling to find motivation too and I have never had a problem with that before. I have been doing art stuff since 1988 and its only in the last year or so where I just can't be arsed even to turn on the computer sometimes.
Lack of motivation doesn't always equate to a lack of passion ,which is what is being suggested. Or even that you are not achieving a high enough standard. I am fairly happy with my work these days, but still am having a hard time getting back in to my work. I think its always the case that when things are going well for…
No offense but I never feel this way. There's at least 10 areas in my work I am actively trying to improve, and I just don't have enough time to do everything I wish I could. I'm starting to wonder if 3D might not be for people who aren't motivated or passionate about it. I'm pretty sure Jimi Hendrix never said "I don't…
I recently got out of a contract position with a studio where I did a lot of editor work, causing me to feel my skills and knowledge with the game industry have gone very lax. I want to work on new stuff for my portfolio, but feel intimidated by what I need to put out in the industry to compete. This causes me intern to…
Out of curiosity. Have you ever worked with an unmotivated artist? People that just aren't that "into it" and either mailing it in, or on MSN/facebook all day? Cuz from my personal experiences, working with guys like that is a drag. I'd rather work with guys that are always looking for cool new things. Always trying new…
Pretty sure he didn't ever. If not writing or playing, he likely worked on his tone. The guy could hear the difference between nickel batteries and alkaline. He had nearly a hundred guitars, and obsessively searched for new ways to create unique and different tones. He would float the pickup switch between pickups for a…
well I have worked with a few, but it doesn't bug me so much as it seems to you, but anyway my advice to anyone is to take a good break from your work, go back and look at the problem with a fresh pair of eyes. Sometimes you can try too hard and lose perspective. If you have zero motivation to even start or have have given…
