sometimes creative overload is a sign we need to step back and let things settle. when you feel this way, try sitting with the feeling itself - maybe that overload sensation could become its own piece?
what if you created something that shows the transition between realistic and illustrated styles, like a brain gradually morphing from one to the other? could be a powerful way to express this overwhelming feeling while experimenting with your artistic range.
or simply take a break. let your mind wander. sometimes the best ideas come when we stop trying to force them.
