I dunno. Something besides the sexiness field? What else interests you? Draw that?

Try running through basics, just make sheets of your own characters making funny faces. The best part about art is you'll always have something somewhere in your brain for more. It's just forcing yourself to dig around until you do find something you want that's the trick.

Well if you don't know what to do then it might be easier to make a list of what not to do. Use your made list help air out your mind. It's full of stuff so take the time to de clutter it. Take a week off where you don't draw anything see if you want to come back to drawing. If you do come draw what you want to draw, whether it be a flower or character. Should you not come back then try to enjoy life to its fullest.

Do what you feel is right. I've gone months without drawing, wondering if I'll ever do it again. It's always come back at some point. I get an idea that I think only I can really draw for myself. Or whatever. But if I don't, I don't force it.

I wish I knew what to say but as is I can just say, if you need a sabbatical or something to that effect your fans and friends will surely support you until you're ready to come back. Your well being is important. Paramount even! We love you if you draw for us or for you!

"Do something, do anything."

For what it's worth, I feel like any creative endeavor needs some measure of selfishness, some level of self-investment and indulgence. Stepping away from the commission scene wouldn't be a bad idea, and honestly dude, working on what -you- want to do is something that should be first and foremost when doing any kind of creative project. Maybe something bigger than you, a story you want to tell, or working with someone else to bring that kind of thing to fruition.

As it is, I know I've only recently started gaining some measure of satisfaction with this project I've been working on with friends, a proper show that I am hoping will reach a greater audience, and something that I feel is worth putting the effort in for. I couldn't speak for you, and I never would dream of it, but there's a massive level of enjoyment from putting something grand together. Your work is incredible dude, and that much won't change, but this is just me speaking what I feel...

You're worth so much more than you believe you are.

What you do is of value, true value and merit. And it will for yourself and everyone else, but you have it in you for something truly grand, I know this. What it is, I honestly can't say, because that's for you to decide and no one else to determine. You are a man of supreme talents, and if you can find that one thing that will truly ignite the fires of ambition within you, set you roaring off into the sky like a rocket?

Well, I'd look forward to seeing that with bated breath.

You do what you need to man, that's all I can say, but don't be afraid to be selfish, that's all I wanted to say.

Make a webcomic. :3c

I honestly almost have the opposite problem. I feel like I can only really draw myself and Luna... it's why I haven't posted anything on FA in forever! I'd just be posting a zillion pictures of the same thing.

If you really think you want to try to draw for yourself more, DO IT. I'd LOVE to see more shots of you and Iko, for example - but the other characters you've got rolling around in your head? I'd be equally interested to see those.

My Luna quit doing commissions because she felt like she wasn't getting any satisfaction out of them. That's part of the reason she disappeared from FA. You should consider the fact that you get a lot of satisfaction out of commissions to be a GOOD thing. On the flip side though, do NOT ignore that gnawing feeling of never drawing anything for yourself.

My Luna has created an entire world for her characters to inhabit - and she's been working on its story for years. Perhaps you should try creating something for yourself with the original characters you already have. It doesn't have to be grand - I'd imagine what I've just said is how a lot of webcomics got started.

But you don't even have to have an aim, I suppose. Have some fun with your characters. It's what I do. Right now I'm exploring something new I've discovered that my Luna likes, so I've been drawing a lot of it :)

Try seeing how much you can do for yourself. I'd say that's the place to start. Best of luck, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Don't be too despondent, Daigo. This seems like the problem of a genuinely altruistic and/or empathetic artist. =)

You may also simply be finding it hard to shift from the well-worn groove that came from working so hard for others'. That said, there's also nothing wrong with being the skilled hand that brings someone else's idea to life.

Patreon may be the thing that gets you to explore your own brain-meats, but even if it isn't you're still making an effort. As long as you still put in a concerted effort, you will find your answer.

Also, get hugs from Iko for encouragement. =^_^=

The "ask x" thing seemed promising. What's to stop you from expanding on characters/you're works that way? I think more slice of life stuff would be cute from your perspective!

well i never felt the same way in like forever. thanks dude i felt so alone and just stopped drawing all together. latley its just been hard for me to come up with stuff to draw.

Ach, I'm late to comment, but I'm just along for the ride and there's nothing that I can really do or add that probably hasn't been already said - so yeah, go at your own pace. Take a break. Try not to burn yourself out over something that you should find it being fun to do - because if your hobby becomes a chore, what then?

I'll still respect you and whatever you choose to do regardless of what direction you decide to go in. c:

Redirecting your focus or refinding your focus will help you a lot. Surrounding yourself with people that inspire you will probably help you blend lots of new ideas for you to get excited over.

I love doing fast gestures. I like all types of animations, American, to French, to Japanese and wanna study them all. I like growth. So I'm making new characters of different animation aesthetics that I like to grow them with my kinks.

Starting with what you like might be a good kicking off point to explore.

I'm not an artist. Just been a fan for a good while. I hope you find what you're looking for to help you feel better. But never force yourself to do something it will only make things worse. Hope you find your spark again :)

Do you still stream art and stuff? I miss your dumb movie streams.
