So yeah.....as was stated in the previous journal, this one has failed to post pictures due to the publication of the book he illustrated. That was a fair enough excuse right?

Well now......this one has no excuse....started quite a few pics but couldn't keep the interest enough to finish them.

Ironically, with the book published, the time may come were this one....I.....have to do this kinda work on a regular basis, and now I have lost all my motivation to even finish what I started. I think I just need.....I dunno..... Is this what they call the Mid-mid-life crisis? Lost interest, feeling in a rut, scared of breaking routine......sounds kind of like clinical depression almost! :fear: (I hope THAT'S not it!)

But enough of my...this ones whining. If you are interested in the book "A New Friend For Nai'a" (nai'a is Hawaiian for dolphin btw) you can view it here:

....and yes that is this one's REAL NAME on the illustrator's credit. Damn now everyone will know this one's secret ID!!!!! :cries:

But if you are interested you may want to purchase it on the listed website.

No motivation to finish what I started is one problem of mine too :/ I have loads of sketches that I do often, even recently, but I never color or scan them in. I don't even seem to have an interest in submitting them here on dA. It seems so pointless, other than allowing people such as your self to view them.

I think creating the book is a good excuse to take a nice long break from drawing. Maybe go out and find some new sources of inspiration? And just let it come to you?

In my case, I just need to finish studying for those exams! D':

Hm.. i know some more people, who have that problem with the motivations. They are only creative, when they have no contract and no timelimit. ^^;
Just my wife is that kind of type. ^^; But i think, its not only the reson for the lack of motivations. Sometimes i have got that feelings too. In that case, i used to play some games or get out for a walk. :D That helps alot. Because of the headcrash of my HDD, i had to do my drawings twice... this is a pain... Doing the same thing twice. >__>
Hope you get back your fun at drawings.

I think I will, the motivations are slowly coming back. Today we signed the published book at the store so now I feel inspired to try again! :D
