Alright Cordyk, you've convinced me... I was just checking up on the forum after work last night, and it sort of hit me in the face. I've been sitting on a personal project for three months... telling myself I wasn't ready to start it because I couldn't get the design right, in my head, or I couldn't find the right references...
Now, those are all legitimate excuses for a time, but I haven't touched the airbrush in two weeks, and my search for reference pics sort of came to a stand still, then I read your little captain's log thingy, and it hit me between the eyes. I mean, I've had free painting time for 2 weeks and not one single drop of paint went into that airbrush. WTF! So, I quit making excuses and just went and started on my project last night.
So, for now, my goal is to quit making excuses that just allow me to procrastinate on my personal projects. I don't have that problem with commission pieces, but I also don't get the same kind of satisfaction out of those. So, no matter how many commission pieces I have, my goal is to do one personal piece every month. They might not be big, but I've got a list of things I've been meaning to do for myself, and I never get around to them.
Thanks, Kev, for kicking a guy in the ass. Just the motivation I needed.
No pictures to post yet, although I did start a thread about it on the W.I.P. section.
