Crazy Wabbit needs support

[crazy wabbit]

Hello my friends,

I need your encouraging words. I have been in the black hole for the longest time, that is not doing any 3d. Reason being I have no clue.
I got the programs but I can not get my ass into gear.

I also run a design studio and my mind is too occupied with running my business which can be very stressful. I am sure you all have lot of things to do too, but is it discipline? What is it?

I feel like I had constipation from eating too many carrots, that is not doing 3d constipation by the way.

Help me, love me, support me and tell me what works for you.

When it's time to have a break..it's time.
1 Holydays with NO fear.
2 Friends on who you can count (during the vacations)
3 Friends who tell you 'Man, I really love what you're doing !" (ok, I love what you're doing !)
4 Girls
5 Prayers or zazen or something in relation with the Spiritual matters, someone better or higher than you and that you'll listen to.
6 who knows..life is such a mysery mystery sometimes.

[Pete Exxtreme]

When you're overflloded with business, then it's pretty hard to be in the mood of doing art.

Piem words are wise : VACATIONS with no mail, no cell phone, no way for your usual world to be in touch with you. Then in vacation meet people you've never met before and discuss, do sport, drink, dance, date ...etc WASH OUT your head... with silly stuff, then go back to "reality" with a clear mind.

Passion maybe ?

""Constipation" happens sometimes to all of us. What I do is I go and model something, anything around me, ideas come about how to use it later

[crazy wabbit]

I think not only passion but also time management.
I did a few truespace ones but that was years ago.

I probably will look like crap if I do anything in carrara or hex.

The best advice? hmmmm I will say get organized, that helps a lot. Take a magnetic board and put it on your refrigerator and start your day by writting the tasks that you need to accomplish, stick to it!!!! that is the key to find time to enjoy your spare time.

[crazy wabbit]

Thank you friends, your all so nice to me. Please come over for some carrot cake and carrot juice.

[rickei]

very good points everyone.

one more thing to add.
Don't worry about your work being crap or people laughing at your work. We are all learning.
Even if a particular image or model does not end up as you would like it to you have learned something in the process.
Pollyloop is probably the best place to get real constructive advice...in a gentle way.

I find a good clearout of stuff on my desk, in my hardrives, round the house, rearrange my workspace, makes me feel Im back on top of things, and then lets me feel free to create lots of mess again. I find the making a mess again part my most creative part. Its hard in a busy world making time for personal space, and then you have to find some inspiration. I find art books jog the creative juices too. Hey but who am I to talk

Dear Bezhad :

Working hard can turn into is a serious disease.

I know it perfectely as a 14 years computer technician !

Making 3D, a drop orange juice, a jump in a nice swimming pool is part of a human life

My advice : take your favourite camera and go for a walk in a field.

No noise & stress, "above us only sky"

Moles, rabbits, cows etc... will tell you that you are on earth for a very short time

...so how about living ?

[crazy wabbit]

Thank you all, lots of love to you all for your support.
I feel much better, here in Canada it is long weekend and I am
going to go out and enjoy, ofcourse with a camera.

Less sugar, sugar is the enemy. When you find you are so burnt out and tired and need a rest and can't even make a little wip then you need to get up off your lazy ass and get busy, even if it is just some small bit of practice.

Bad 3D is better than no 3D at all.

[solt]

and stop thinking you are crazy or a wabbit ...just for a moment...and listen to the silence inside you...

[Grendel]

I get stuck modeling mechanical stuff work and it starts to become a little dreary. I then model something that has nothing to do with work and that helps.

Everybody has a hard time in the begining, just start small with stuff around your desk and work you're way up. Don't set out to do the coolest thing you've ever scene on the forums, you'll just get depressed and think you suck.

Since I started with a computer, I have kept every tutorial, 2D and 3D that Icould lay my hands on.

Whenever I get stuck I start on those in the long list I have never worked through. Doing them usually inspires an idea for something new.

Another idea, which I used to do when I had an (art) painting block was to stab at a word blindly in the dictionary. Then I would analyse the meanings of the words describing the meanings of that word.

The wild visual things the mind can come up with doing that!

[crazy wabbit]

Thank you everyone, Solt it is weally weally hard to not think of myself as a crazy wabbit, But I will try. That means no carrots for a day at least....

The "wabbit" idea was a joke--the first time it was used.

ARE you getting tired of the Wabbit?

Mate. I am probably showing my age, but it does not seem very adult to me.

Sorry!

It is called having fun, letting loose and having a glass of carrot juice. Art is about fun, we need more spice here on these forums. How about a new avatar for you?
