I never could get a handle on the mental discipline required to overcome that. After each piece was done and paid, I would end up feeling even emotionally worse than when I started, constant feeling of failure as it was never perfect, was always missing something. To this day I havent found the missing piece, someday I will, when Im meant to.

Every good/true artist that I've met, college professors, some other students including myself always view our art like you do.
Whatever you do is never good enough, and that-in the end is what will make a good artist.
One who is always trying to learn more, see their mistakes and constantly try to fix them. Hell I threw out entire sculptures people said were good-I said no, I need to start from the beginning again.
It can become quite obsessive tho... Mentally draining at times..
I bet your artwork look fantastic
I'm very curious, but do try not to be very hard on yourself.. I'm like that often and it just gets depressing.
