Heey mate. Hate that feeling when you hit a wall. When it's hard to find motivation and inspiration to paint. Been in that place many times, trust me. From my experience there's a bunch of reasons this is happening.
a) you might be overworked and in a routine. I usually take a step back, don't work for couple days and do something to break the routine. It might be changing my surroundings, go for a trip to new place or meet with my friends. Everyone needs to rest once a while
b) you're experiencing an artistic block. sycra had a good video on this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb0g_gWrNf8
On a occasion I'm really stagnating with my art. And this can be a source of limitless frustration. Been there as well. What helps for me is trying something new. Whenever I feel my art stagnates I'm experimenting, playing with different brushes, techniques.
Ursula made a good point. It's always good idea to socialize with other artist. It makes pursuing art sooo much easier. Actually I follow your work since old conceptart.org days and I don't think we talked like people yet. So yeah. I join with Ursula and say hit me on skype whenever you feel like. It's always cool to meet new artist. We can crack joke or two.
Oh and update is simply killer. Your values improved a lot. And this hobbit study is simply awesome. Keep it up!
