I often think about getting a good camera and carrying it about with me so that I could capture references at the drop of a hat.

made me realize how literally anything you find online has gone through at least one other person's eye before you find it, so how can it really inspire personal work unique to you?

man i just went outside and sketched a thing just based on what was there and it probably was the most inspired and fresh thing i did in months. i really should stop digging inspiration from the internet for personal stuff, forget that last request :D

it would be foolish to think that we could design things better that took thousands and sometimes millions of years ( nature) to be built/evolve

theres nothing wrong with taking real life stuff and slightly modifying it

It's hard to say get your reference from life at that point..

What if you're pressed for time and you need to design something space related?
