How do you overcome any kindof creativity block. Rendering is fine and dandy but it's not what art is all about.

Are there any good resources on how to deal with this (not just feelgood feces cranked through a blender to be spoon fed) or any resources for exercises and tools that artists can use to create something outside of being over-neurotic about creating art?

Explore other interests. Explore other mediums. Go for a walk. Take a trip somewhere.

Make a random mess and try to make sense of it. Like staring at clouds. Pretend like you are retarded and can't control your arms properly to get marks and shapes you normally wouldn't.

you need to expand your visual and mental library. Take in as much art as possible be it books, movies, concept art, whatever.

This, for sure. When i got burnt out on digital commissions I found solace in carving rubber stamps and paper collage, among other things.

That's a drastically different change. I guess it's just a fluid transition, or did you have ideas about experimenting in that medium beforehand?

I'm mainly burnt out of the pencil.

Good design doesn't come from studying your environment it comes from experiencing it. In order to create something beautiful design wise you need to experience beautiful design in your life. Life experience is very important in art, see how cultures and different living conditions affect how people create art and how art changes as society changes.

OP you don't need to cram life experience into study sessions trying to work it out like some sort of alien, you need to go outside and experience life.

Everyone experiences life, anon, but not everyone has the ability to perfectly visualize or vocalize that experience, even less have the ability to express that in their medium of choice and hone that skill.

I think that's what OP is struggling with.
