Inspiration Options

[*mona lisa*]

We all get stuck in a rut sometimes. What inspires you? When you're stuck and you're trying to come up with ideas, what do you look at and concentrate on?

I tend to browse deviantART. Honestly, with all the different forms of art, I get some sort of vision in my mind as to what I can create that has my own name written all over it.

I do like looking at design sites, web comics, or anything that can be visually appealing one way or another. Seeing other people's ideas somehow gets my brain to move on and come up with stuff of its own.

Another source of inspiration that works for me is music, and songs with a strong visual content (if that makes any sense to someone else but me x( ). A good example for this would be songs by They might be giants, it is easy for me to unblock my brain while hearing them sing of robots parading around the city or about people walking in their sleep.

Lastly, I do always try to write up what I remember from my dreams right after waking up. Sometimes it is the most random things such as "he has a spoon for a spine" ;>_>, while some other times I get to write a more complete story. In any case, reading them later on also has helped me beat mental obstacles, too.
