^ yeah man I hear ya
I miss photoshopping, I am watching the Sherdog shoop tournament and it is glorious, lol. I used to do tons of it but lately I am much more interested in bigger projects, shooping is always super fun but feels like I could be using my time better towards projects that mean more to me in the long run. This is a big part of why I am trying to grow this forum, so we can encourage each other to push ourselves to new levels with our creative energy. This is not easy, it is a warrior's path imo. Very easy to put it off or lose momentum, we are our own worst artistic enemies
I think a lot of shoops I will do from here on will probably be quick and dirty, rather than spending time making them elaborate or skillful like I used to... I am actually learning that the quick ones can be often more effective/appreciated than the ones we labor over. I remember fungi making a friggin masterpiece in the last Sherdog tourney, only to lose by some hilarious gif someone whipped together in 20 minutes. Also Sonnen's War lol
Good luck to you greenseed, wherever your inspiration goes. We should have the odd shoop blitzes in here sometimes though, I find its really good to loosen up and open the creative mental floodgates. Every time I make a shoop I just wanna go make something else
