Just because you're trash doesn't mean you can't do great things.
It's called garbage can, not garbage cannot.

Yes, I feel that way all the time when I'm in school and a few other people more gifted, and less tired of school than I do better on assignments than I do.

I'm like that for video games, but when it comes to painting... I think I do a good job, but then I see high end work and it's like ... why even bother trying any more.

Do you mean realism? Because art is highly subjective.

Oh yeah, I also have an inferiority complex regarding seeing other people play Tales and Crash Bandicoot better than I do, as well.

Well, it's more the speedrunning for me. If someone beats me, I can accept it as not being quite good enough - and just go for a new personal best.

Not what I was expecting, but still applicable here, hahah!

For that, you can go a few ways with it. You can seriously sit down and research ways to improve, do a deep dive into it and figure how to become better. You'd have to realize it isn't an overnight success and that it takes time, but the progress will be rewarding.

Or you can learn to accept the level you're at and be okay with that. You do not have to be the best at everything and a lot of people aren't the best at anything at all. It's okay to just be how you are, it isn't a competition.

You could also learn to stylize your minis and work in a way that suits your current skill level. How? I don't know, I don't do Warhammer or any of that stuff, but I'm sure you could figure it out.

Adapt, improve, drop it, or accept it. Those are your choices in life for a lot of different things. Just remember, life is supposed to be enjoyable when you can make it so. For some people, that is struggling and improving. For others, it's saying that you are good enough and it's okay to be where you're at.
