Don't force it. I've done that in years past (i.e. felt I *had to* edit since folks expected me to release things) and it's bad. You make bad stuff and you don't have fun doing it (which is the key).

I'd say listen to a lot of music, watch a lot of stuff (not necessarily anime) and just chill. Ideas eventually come, I can promise you that.

(Wow this seems almost like a pep talk -_-)

1. Realize that being an artist is not special, and that anyone can be an "artist."
2. Realize that you suck, and that, therefore, your work also sucks.
3. Realize that if you truly enjoy and love what you're doing, you can stick with it regardless, and improve.

The big problem could be you just don't enjoy it like you use to. I'm not sure how to fix that ... could this be the end of beowulf? :shock:

I've been creative in my photography instead of my video stuff. But AB's deadline is in a month and change so I should get around to fixing that...
