How do i come up with interesting subject matter for my art? I'm drawing at a level i feel comfortable with in regards to anatomy, perspective, etc but all my drawings are really boring and really have no meaning.Should i be reading about philosophy and psychoanalysis and shit like that?are there any good books you guys can recommend on this?

Lol,you call boring that subjetive mess of guts? xD
Boring are landscapes and seas,
but about some interesting subjets for art you could try for example something related with not very explored mythologies in occident like chinesse,or maybe,if phylosophy related you could try for example illustrating the Allegory of the Cave from your point of view,don't know

Make the mundane interesting.

Here's an idea I had but never will get around to: Lunch. Basically a set of fantasy illustrations, centered around creatures enjoying a midday meal. Think Norman Rockwell in scene design,each picture with loads of little details telling a snapshot story.

A dragon "shelling" a knight,heaps of bloody armour around it,with a disgruntled maiden in a cage looking on.

Dwarves on break from the mines,huddled together with their equivalent of lunchboxes contemplating breathtaking mountaintops as they joke among themselves.

A hobbit laying a feast before him,possibly with a guest or two,the table piled high with strange and exotic dishes.

Orcs at a rude barbecue, roasting Gods Know What on a spit in the midst of a sacked city,showing each other the spoils they've taken.

Fairies of different sorts savouring their varied favorites in a quiet hollow.

The list goes on,but you get the idea. Plenty of scope to stretch your talent and inventiveness.
