I spent the last week doing commissions for Guild Wars 2 players and I really liked it! I don’t know if it was just keeping busy, or the joy of drawing but it really perked me up. It made me want to do more creative things, work on my own stuff.

If its something personal, I sort of go blank. It’s like if I don’t have some pre-defined barriers my mind feels overwhelmed with what I can do, so I don’t do anything. Kind of weird, but ya that’s how my head works.
