>>707789I can't really say, I wouldn't say I've ever had a burnout that put me off of art altogether. I haven't been doing much oil painting lately because I got burnt out after doing all the demon portraits, I've gone back to just drawing in sai or testing out tegaki every now and then. When it comes to art, most of the time it feels like i'm going through the motions, maybe I'm autistic or otherwise broken in my brain because I think I could go through this cycle forever. Make a character and just become obsessed with them until I get bored, but I make a new one later, make a world around them, do nothing with them, and do it again. If I wasn't here I'd still be doing this somewhere else. The gratification I get from seeing my ocs for whatever reason far exceeds any kind of exhaustion, mental or otherwise, I'd experience from the sheer repetition of drawing them.
Despite whatever differences I may have with other artists on this site, in this way I think we can commiserate.
