Same. If something you otherwise love doing feels like you're having to choke down a plate of vegetables, unless there is a contract on the line, you gotta take a break. Not only will you hate every second of it, the work won't be very good anyhow
I'm not necessarily a visual artist per se, but as a game dev that does end up doing a lot of pixel art, yeah. I go through that too. Some days I am not feeling it, and have to force myself to do at least something productive. Depression is a bitch, but I do my best to not let it win all the time.
Oh course! This is why I have multiple different projects in different mediums. It's good for staying fresh and keeping a healthy rotation, but bad for actually finishing projects. Sometimes stuff just flies off the rotation and into the trash. Achieving a healthy balance is very hard lol
Absolutely, i usually try to do something else like blender, or game a little while inspiration comes, if nothing works, getting up and walking around the house helps a bit
