Does anyone know how to fix art burnout? I know it's been a thing for all of human history, but surely a furry smut artist from midwestern america in 2025 can overcome it forever and simply make and release art comfortably at a good consistent pace until he retires 🧍‍♂️ - ThreadSky

I stared at a gift comm I'm working on that's 95% done for about 2 hours last night and couldn't get over that last 5%.
Can I make a blood sacrifice or sell a piece of my soul or something in exchange for some motivation and creativity? It's priced to move.

Best advice I can give, the one that helped me at least, is to change the art focus for a bit to a different theme, head not working for smut? Try going for suggestive themes for a bit.
Not working for suggestive? Do safe works for a bit.
Basically flex yourself in fields you haven't done before

I try to challenge myself a tiny bit by trying at least one new thing in each published piece. Sometimes it's something tiny, sometimes it's something much more complex. It's been working out for me until very recently, so maybe I've just bit off more than I can chew with this particular piece lol

It's entirely possible, but hey, even if its more then you can handle, you still got experience out of it, that's what counts

Exactly. Gonna keep at it and get over that hump so I can get the confidence boost from finally publishing something finished for the first time in just about a month

I can't guarantee that it will work, but it will at least put some boundaries so your creativity would be forced to work around them to make something new.
Art block is usually just your creative engine "stalling" so to speak, at least that's how I see it and how it been explained to me

If you got stuck on artwork that's almost done but you don't know how to finish it, ask around from your art peers if they can give you advice or suggestion on how to finish it proper
