For me, it is hard coming up with a skin for this place.. I always end up basing my skins off of something else that I did..

For example, I made the bg image first, and then I said "holy sh!t, that looks so hot.. I should make a skin.." and then I made a color scheme based on it..

but when it came time to do the .maintitle, (the image that shows the names of the categories, like "community services, etc..") I was stumped again..

It took me almost 2 weeks to come up with something...

I was good.. until it was time to do a banner..

I asked Mr. Nest to brainstorm with me, and he suggested that I use part of the bg image as the banner.. and so I did..

and it is not just limited to skinning, but writing, and school projects as well..

I would not be able to get an idea for something until the last minute..

Has this ever happened to you?

Oh yeah, especially in school. I would be able to come up with all sorts of creative stuff at the very last second, but up until that moment I would be stumped!!

Nowadays, I guess I don't do anything really creative, just decorate my house, LOL!!

Generally that is what happens to me. However, i've come to notice last minute ideas are some of the best in turn actually. Thinking something completely out is a problem to me. If I generalize things then it becomes easier to create something new.

I'm kind of good at coming up with some ideas, so partly no. Partly, because I suck at making things, and always do them at last minute, mostly barely succeeding.

yeah, used to happen to me all the time and still happens every now and then. I used to get all types of creative blocks but I found that if i didnt think so hard about what i was tryna do and jus do it the problem would go away. Like when I'd get writers block I'd jus write about as many different things as i could think of, then sooner or later an idea that I'd like would pop up and I'd write something and incorporate some of the other stuff i was jus brainstorming with in to the story. I heard creativity works the best when you are actively trying to be creative so thats what i try to do

Trust me, creators block hits me pretty hard. I've got God knows how many unfinished fanfics, an unfinished novel, a webcomic to make, and now a series of Sonic redubs.

I've been stumped like that too. I remember that I tried to make a cool new character design, but I don't do it until I'm usually at home.
