Is it possible to get tired of art? I've commissioned a bunch of stuff over the last 2 years and I've loved everything the artists have done for me. But this last week I've been thinking that I've got what I can best describe as art fatigue. I just have lost all will to commission again, I still love art but I'm just tired?

>>	Anonymous Mon May 22 20:38:23 2017 No.2990477 Sounds like you are just tired of spending money on a bunch of art. If I bought pants every month after awhile I'd have so many pants I wouldn't know what to do anymore. Maybe you should just take a break.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 22 20:38:27 2017 No.2990478 >>2990468 Yes it's possible. Do anything too much too often & you'll get bored, that's normal! It's your brain suggesting you to take a break.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 22 20:40:07 2017 No.2990479 You get bored if you do too much too quick. After awhile you lose interest and just get tired.

I deleted my post since the guy above me said the samething.

Space things out. You're burn out too quick if you do and want everything at once. Imagine playing a new video game for 2 week straight 12 hours a day (just an example), come week 3 you're gonna get bored of playing it so much and so often.

You can't always be riding highs.

I remember the first time I ever felt like something fun was dying out, I felt a sense of overwhelming panic. I think people just accept that some times it doesnt do anything for you but they stick around anyways because they have no reason to just 'drop' that thing. I also think constantly jumping around from hobby to hobby is very anxious.

Just take a moment to sit back and stare at the art you got or something.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 23 14:51:32 2017 No.2991385 Yeah I still can't tell if op means buying commissions or making commissions. But I'm yeah you can get tired of almost everything, even sex.

Of course. That's why you need to balance work with life, to keep trickle charging the batteries, and once in a while, take a break. I am surrounded by art and design through work and my own art, but I also read, play guitar, game, ride bikes, work out, travel, all kinds of things, so I don't get cabin fever or burn out.

If you're not dependant on the commissions, take a break and work for yourself for a while. Call it a sabbatical. Take a trip somewhere you've never been recharge the creative batteries. Or just go unplug on a beach for a week.

>>	Anonymous Wed May 24 17:58:29 2017 No.2992982 >>2991394 Yes, even sex. When you get older, you'll understand.

>>	Anonymous Wed May 24 18:09:56 2017 No.2992994 >>2991394 Not sex, but I got bored of masturbating and looking at porn in general. I prefer looking at artistic depictions of pretty people more.

I'll be shat on for saying this but blame the artists. Assuming you've been working with different ones all these times, they must be boring you, their finished product isn't living up to expectations and isn't blowing you away.

Maybe you need to look long and hard for an outstanding artist.

As someone who's also spent a decent amount of money on commissions to have 88% of those artists I paid miss deadlines over and over again. I can tell you that will also make you get bored and have a falling out with art. I even spent 6 months looking and trying new artists, but they all miss deadlines by weeks sometimes.

Anonymous Sun May 28 17:06:22 2017 No.2998767

How do you guys know who to commission? I was thinking of looking up DeviantArt and finding someone that does the style I want and asking if they take commissions, but I don't know what to pay, what's a fair price? I'd like to have my wife and I drawn as characters in a couple of different styles, like one really kawaii, one calm like mushishi, one real comfy like fruits basket, and another really experimental like madoka magic girl.

I don't want to pay too much but I don't want to take advantage of anyone's situation either. What do you pay for commissions and where do you find the artists?

(email tarkaan at Gmail if you are an artist who does this pls)

Oh come on dude, love is nice and being in love is better. Being in love with your wife is the absolute top, and wanting her drawn with the peace sign on one hand and a daisy in the other with her arm around me with a toothpick in my teeth, well that would go down in fucking history.
