I always strive to finish something once I've started it, but I'm sad to say that I often don't...not because I give up on a concept, but because once I've thought of it and proved it can be made, I totally lose interest in it.
Leonardo Da Vinci had a very good quote to this effect: "To conceive is inspired...to complete is servile." I think I share his notion on this. As soon as I know something can be done, or drawn, or built, or created, I rarely feel like finishing it, because I'm only really interested in the idea.
This is the main reason my dumb centaur wocket has yet to be completed. And it's the reason a LOT of art never gets finished.
The question is this: is not completing art irresponsible, or just the result of a curious nature?
