I am positive your muse will come back. We all go through that! Maybe a new character will spark up your creative juices and get them flowing again. This is the perfect image for your post. Her pose and expression looks as if she is looking for something. It will be back in full force!:)

I have had that feeling. It will come back!

Thinking about it just makes it worse. Muse likes to just be not grasped. };-) It will sneak up on you when you least expect it. You'll see. Good image for it though.

Muses are fickle creatures. Mine usually confuses me by filling my head with too many ideas, rather than none at all. Believe me its just as frustrating! Lovely "museless" pose and expression in this fine character! :)

I am sure your muse is not far away ... Excellent render and great mood on that one ! :-)

beautiful work

You might want to check out the nearest Muse Bar & Grill, That's where mine goes at times Great render

I think it went on holiday with mine because mine has been gone for a while. If it shows up with yours, would you please tell it to come home !! Really like this image, great pose and pov !!

Yes she looks a bit plaintive. Got the same problem with muses myself probably because one picture per day is just too high a work rate to be good. Well yes you could simply dress or not dress a V4 and chuck out several pictures a day especially if you cannot be bothered to do a background. The way I look at it interesting backgrounds are actually more difficult to create than foregrounds. So spend some time doing good backgrounds using Bryce, Vue, Photos, Fractals or 2D art and then the 3D stuff should be easy. Another easy inspiration are the pictures of the best artists at Renderosity, Deviant Art or whatever. I like collecting favourites so I can steal the best ideas off others. Don't worry its never direct enough for anyone to notice. The main thing you need for good art is time.

Hmmm...well this look just fantastic bro crisp and well posed the subtelty to the lighting is fantastic!

Great mood. Beautiful render!!

MMM she looks like she is lost in thought probably thinking "Now how can I help Ian get his muse back.." lol. I guess we all feel that way at times when we sit in front of the puter and think dam my minds blank, nothing, all gone, then back it comes.. Personally I don't see how anyone can keep pumping them out day after day especially those people that do 3 to 5 a day they must start getting desperate for ideas lol, well with the exception of Renecyberdoc lol because his mind is obviously wired different to everyone else's Mahahahahaaa.. She'll be back Ian don't worry mate..

This is beautiful. and has it's own sensitivity that touched me deeply. I feel your plight, as we all do i'm sure. excellent work!

Fantastic work Ian!! And the muse will come back, i had a period like that awhile ago and it made me desperate to get it back. But the more you want it the longer time it will take to get it back =( Have a wonderful new week =) Hugs Mona

never force it let it just flow,look around you the daily things might bring a hit or an image you msee might inspire you.just leave it be it will come back.

Beautiful portrait!

Don't fear mate! This is still damned good stuff even if you don't think so.. Your muse will return... Go Sci-Fi.... They Rocked...:-) Rob

Wonderful work. Excellent pose and lighting. I've been asking myself the same question lately... where the heck did my muse go :( Guess muses need holidays too, lol

Maybe your muse is tired & just needs a little nap! Fantastic work on this render!

Beautiful character, love her pose and lighting, outstanding work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully your muse is just taking a short break, mine does all the time, wish I knew where it goes, might want to go with it.

Come on 2121, can be just a phase it happen to everyone, and the render is wonderful!!

Wonderful and realistic!

I think we've all been there ourselves. I'm certainly not feeling overly creative as of late myself. Hang in there!

Excellent work!

A great work.......excellent done !!!!!!!!!!!!

Out-Standing detail in her look love it!
