people always complain, motivation this, motivation that. They're just excuses for not finishing a project. Its not a lack of motivation, its laziness. If you put time and effort into something it will be completed, motivation=BS.

yeah it's tough to get motivated especially for animashunz
music helps I guess
how about MOTIVATIONAL POSTERS!
I just love the process of drawing and learning and that's usually enough to motivate me :D
plus most of the above

When I start a project, my initial excitement for being able to express the idea behind it is my motivation. The more I work on a project, however, the less motivated I am to finish it. Especially if it's hard work. It's a terrible thing to have happen, but it does. TT_TT

I don't know why, but being extremely sleepy gives me a lot of random motivation... :S

I always think to myself that the longer I work on something, the longer other people will watch/play it.

Civilized-Apocalypse 2010-08-12 10:34:29

well i usually work harder when im not at home or somewhere where i can do lots of other things instead of working
or ill just say if i finish this much work then i can get a piece of candy or i get to take a break after this much
or you know you could just handcuff you to a chair next to your work so you have nothing else to do BUT work

a day to have it done by. I'm a very lazy person so a limit on how long I can take will at least make sure I have it done. this used to end with me rushing but now it's less sleep. I can aford less sleep however

up-a-notch 2010-08-12 11:30:27

or i don't work on something for a bit then think about it being finished and am like "wow i need to finish this"

poisened-noise 2010-08-12 12:48:19

when the end result is sex. or on a more proper note when im doing what i love and i remember what i was like before i did what i love. how empty i would feel.

Well, I'm none of those things...but when I animate, I always looks at some of the other animations here on NG and keep thinking, "What if I could do better?" Of course, when I say animations, I mean some of the higher quality work, but it always turns out wrong. I haven't quit yet and I will keep going though.

Just a thought on my part.

CatFat 2010-08-12 16:07:44

The thought of how the ng staff will neglect your work and put something that everyone quarrels about on the fp instead of your own thing that people actually seemed to liked and took you months to make!
but no seriously, feedback and seeing my creation come to life, VANITY i s'pose haha.

Badass music

TheFlyingChinchilla 2010-08-12 16:30:03

Vagina.

Though that has less relevance to the artistic process.

When I feel like a REALLY good idea suddenly pops into my head, motivation comes naturally for me. I'll think of and do whatever I can to make that idea a reality.
Recently I've basically decided that I probably won't find the motivation to finish a movie or game unless a big goofy smile shoots across my face the moment I think of making it.
