Now that is a feeling i know WELL !! lol That said....this is at least done very well...and timely! Very cool.

Terrific render Remember that when u r down there is only one way to go-UP

I'm in the same place too, so I can sympathise, luckily I have art like this to inspire me..your hair painting is amazing :)

So fantastic!!! Amazing composition and render.

Come on girl, don't be to harsh on yourself, the image is beautiful! :) Hope you will come out of that dark place soon, just follow the light, if you look good enough you will see the light is always there... hugs xxx

This is very nice !

But this looks great with fantastic colors ... Superb!

Stunning artwork!

Beautiful portrait and fantastic hot colors!

Wonderful scene.....!!!

Hi Jenni, and I know how you feel about inspiration. What helps me is to look back through the items I've collected over the years and look for things I haven't used much, or would want to try new things with now that I've learned a little more about how to use the programs. Usually, the more eclectic the collection I look through, the more interesting the final picture turns out to be. Hope this helps.

I've been in the same spot, actually. Strangely my time for art is limited and now I have a million ideas in my head. Odd how that works. LOL, almost as if my muse taunts me! I think the light and the hair in this is amazing, it would be a perfect Halloween card design. :)

I agree to DrCarl Jenni,We will always happy to see your magnificent works!Also I can understand your feelings,because I'm in a very deep darkness at this time and I!m not seen the light yet! But whatever it is,we have our Art and we have friends!I'm still trying to "no give up"!Keep up to good work My friend!!:-)))Oh!By the way,render is magnificent as always!Gorgeus lady!But,I love her hairs,I've almost heard her beautiful hairs smell!woww!:-)))))

Jenni, I wish my lack of inspiration was as beautiful as yours :). I have always found friends are the best way out of dark places

Fantastic!! 面白い^("vv")^

maybe not for you but its still is wonderful, very vibrant and full of light.

wow excellent work! looks like real

Been there and you should see the waste-bin load that never makes it past my self-criticism. I will say I enjoy the pose and expression of this fine render.

Please keep up with your art, I love it and I love that outfit!!!!!!!

jolie!!

Hey Jenni, thanks for sharing your work, however uninspired you might be feeling. When I was struggling with inspiration and all my days felt a bit grey and out of focus I asked a friend who is a painter what he does when he is down and out and he said he had learned that he lost his inspiration when his day to day life started getting too routine. When all his days started looking the same it was hard to find an image to create. So, every day he started to do something different, toss at least one thing new into the routine even if it was just as simple as getting a coffee somewhere different, going for a walk someplace new. Hang in there :)

It happens to everyone from time to time. This may not seem inspired to you but it sure is one very nice image! Great work, I love her expression and pose. I like the sheaves of corn too!

Really glad to see another wonderful image from you, they've been missed.

Excellent work!!

Beautiful Haloween render!!!!!!!

Gorgeous scene! FUNtastic hair painting and beautiful portrait! :)

Sometimes I think that the pressure of being AOM, especially the aftermath, is just too much. You feel that people expect too much, maybe, and that's pressure you don't need....ever. I was reading through the comments, and one person suggested using a new prop or scene you've never used before. I've done that and it really does help....a challenge to step out of the comfort zone, so to speak. I really enjoy your art, although I don't always have time to comment, but remember you're not doing it for me or anyone but YOU, so if you're happy, that's really all that matters. After saying all that, I'll confess that it hits all of us and it's hitting me right now....burnout. If I get to that point, I just take a break, play with the grandchildren, rake leaves, clean out the closets, whatever it takes to get that inspiration back. Your ART inspires me as well as the ART of my other favorite artists....I'm so glad we have sites like this to see what others are doing and encourage each other. Don't worry, most of all, you still have it and you don't have to prove anything, anything at all. :O)

Very cool Jenni!!!

Wonderful work,
