An addition to the ramblings, if I may: I was intrigued by your situation as I sort of feel like I’m in the opposite state. I want to try something more ambitious and well thought out, I guess, compared to my usual assortment of random pictures. I’ve attempted some times to make a grand story based set; none of them ended up as great as I’d originally envisioned them. And just from the few times I’ve actually managed to finish one and post it to the Nexus, I can definitely understand that burn-out you speak of. I also tend to just drift back into my usual habits, which for me means shooting landscapes and bland portraits. I think that’s just a normal thing that happens for many of us. The whole subconsciously moving towards what is known, well-trodden and comfortable (which isn't necessarily bad unless the intention is to try something new, of course. :P ). To try and avoid that drifting, to some degree, I’ve sort of placed myself in a kind of middle ground between the two, where I’m putting more effort into those few images trying to tell smaller individual stories for each picture, while not attempting to go full on Tolkien. That’s what I’m aiming for anyway. That being said, I still long for taking on larger projects with a decent story or at least continuity, but almost lack the constitution to see them through and also be satisfied with them in the end.
I guess I just envy that ability to more or less consistently make large and captivating image sets that, to my mind, you and others here have. And I especially envy the amazing quality of your posts. :)
Thanks for taking the time to respond, and I appreciate the compliment :)
And that skin looks amazing well done with her :D
I'm glad you like her skin :) I work on it a lot :p More than I should, that's for sure. It's a mashup of a lot of different textures all blended together. Mostly RWoS though.
