I don't know if that will work for you, but I find it works for me. When I look at actual art when I feel like that, I usually just end up saying, "That's neat; there are some good ideas there."
Of course, it's difficult to take time off to do that when you're driven by deadlines.
In any event, I'm wishing you the best of luck. If there's anything I can do to help, just ask.
Thanks for the motivation Danny. :) I don't think this is something that'll last, but it is kind of a crucial moment and there in lies the problem.
