when i get artblock one of the things i try is reading pieces from a favorite book and when a scene sticks firmly in my head try to draw that. hope you cure it soon!

I was just watching Little Miss Sunshine again and I think you could make some really cool fanart of that if you want to, I don't know why:shrug:

I get artblock a lot and I don't know exactly how to get inspired but sometimes I find videos, or movies, or even other artist very inspiring, so when I have artblock I just keep looking at stuff until an idea hits me.

Hope that helps (even if only a little),

I wrote a journal about what I did when I had a 6-month art block. If you're interested, you could check it out: [link]

Also, I find just looking up resources and new stuff inspires me to create again, I wrote a journal linking to some pretty cool resources I've found all over the place: [link]

Well, I hope you get over your art block. :B

I suggest fanarts try from these series - law and order SVU, Mythbusters, Red Dwarf. or these movies - Tron, The Labrynth, Logan's Run, Amalie, Delicatessen

You should draw Itachi from Naruto in your semi-realism!
I think he would turn out beautiful. :love:
I seriously love your art style. It's so clean and well done!
Every character looks to awesome and unique.
You're an inspiration to me, believe it!
