This would be the opposite of perfectionism or the qualities that paralyze perfectionist artists.I think he works. I already told that his problem is that he's a perfectionist. He doesn't want to release a work unless he considers it absolutely perfect. Hence why he is constantly improving his model for Lara. He said that the bland animations for the Gatekeeper was ready two years ago, but he has problem with texture and rendering cum. When another animator would release it anyway, saying they would need to improve that point, Wildeer holds on it.
The creatives who have their careers stalled because of being perfectionists falter because they don't finish anything or get anything down. There would never be a scenario where these people would say something was ready and then criticize it after the fact because it would never have been ready to be criticized in the first place.
If you work in any field with some sort of creativity you'd quickly be able to tell the difference between a perfectionist that can't finish work because of perfectionism and a bullshitter trying to use perfectionism as an excuse for being lazy. Wildeer is obviously the latter. Perfectionism doesn't end up with months of the most obscure bad luck problems somehow occurring month after month.
