Wondering if any fellow artists have ever experienced losing all passion for making art and what you did to recover it?

Alt text: A stylized digital illustration of a mysterious, otherworldly figure with multiple arms and glowing orange fingertips. The character has pale skin, glowing orange eyes, and short, tousled hair with small red horns. They wear a dark, layered robe with dramatic shadows and highlights, and a glowing halo-like design behind their head. The background features a dark, warm-toned palette with glowing lines and stars, creating a mystical atmosphere. Text at the top reads “SUPPORT ARTIST” and “SFW / HUMAN ART ONLY,” and the bottom of the image features the words “ART SHARE” in bold, glowing letters.

I used to be able to get commissions from Reddit, but this year it's been as dry as a desert for me. I've gotten about 3 total enquiries this year, all of which promptly ghosted me after finding out my rates. Even getting one upvote to my post is very rare. We live in very rough times...

A man in a long cloak walks through puddles as the sun sets behind him. Two women hold an umbrella behind him in the background. The bottom text reads: "300 followers art share. Thank you!"

EOWYN - digital painting depicting Eowyn lying on the ground, looking dead. Long blond hair frames her pale but seemingly serene face. She holds the hilt of her sword, the broken tip of which is in the now-empty crown of the sorcerer of Angmar. The head of the Nazgul's monstrous mount lies at her side, above the broken shield. LORDS of LOTHLORIEN - The two elves Galadriel and Celeborn, in the foreground, from behind, look at each other smiling lovingly. He waves her to proceed to the elf who, in front of them and in front of a crowd of other smiling elves, offers them tiaras on a leaf-shaped tray. In the background they catch a glimpse of the elven city perched in the giant trees of Lothlòrien. Digital painting of Cristiana Leone, featuring a bust portrait of her Original character Herm, an halfish (hybrid human-fish race), who, with a sad and melancholic look, holds a book close to his bare chest. BONDED IN WILD - Digital hand painted portrait of a beautiful shamaness, embracing her familiar, a giant white cat, while some magic flows all around.

May be a huge victim of bsky crop but I did this like 5 years ago. I'm still quite happy with it! Probably the most work I ever put into an illustration at the time.

Illustration of a merman swimming slowly through the algae forest, enjoying the rare rays of sunshine. There's a big text added on top of the picture, saying "Art Share"

As part of a trade I did with a fellow D&D player, I drew their character and they composed a song for mine! We didn't get to play together for long, but I'll always cherish the experience!

I really am not psychologically built for social media and can't help but resent how it's basically necessary for artists. Probably nobody will ever see this but that's also probably for the best. I can't affort not to use it though, I have to push through.

MaoMao Portrait Digital portrait of the best apothecary, MaoMao. The background is warm and out of focus, and she is turned over her shoulder with a broad smile.

Some old comms... I miss the peak of ACNH sometimes, and the sense of community around the game. I only recently started playing again after Life Stuffᵀᴹ, and while I still find a similar sense of calm and escape, it's just not the same without the community...

Some characters that used to be in my D&D party. I do sometimes miss all the people I used to play with...

A bigger piece I drew of a past D&D character. This took a long time and even though it's older work, I'm still quite proud of it!

More older commission art! I'm a bit proud of this one, since it was an unique concept of a plasmoid character.
It's harder to get work nowadays...

Okay this is the LAST time I try to post this picture... for some reason it always gets flagged as Adult content although there is NONE but oh well 😢
Just a drawing of two tieflings sitting side by side.
