Does anyone do anything in particular while they work?
Like, put on the television or a film, or listen to music?

Brandon Graham plays audio books while drawing.

I've been putting on shows, but it hasn't been working out too well. I tried watching all of the office while working on some sprites, and kind of got absorbed by it.

I think I'll try Mystery Science Theater 3000. It'll keep me entertained, but won't distract me too much, hopefully.

I have tried and sometimes continue to...

watch TV or movies
listen to music
listen to Podcasts
draw in silence

All of these have their pro's and con's.  I tend to get side tracked very easily, I'm constantly popping onto a website or checking a twitter feed in between drawing something. Music is probably the best thing to hold my focus if I really need to buckle down and work. That and disconnecting from the internet  

It better continue my page

Oh, sure.  It continues your page, no worries about that.

I just finished the page that follows yours. 

I used to be in the industry as an Art Lead and Producer but have since broken away and have decided to give indie gaming a stab.

That is some pretty sweet concept art dude!
