I’ve begun to notice a trend with my work that is leaving me dissatisfied with its direction it’s taking: I’ve been moving into the direction of a simpler, cuter and overall easier art style that goes against what I originally set out to work towards but has developed specifically because it’s what gets the most attention out of my work across my social medias, which I’ve been justifying to myself as a necessary evil in order to accomplish my goal of developing a large enough following for when I finally start publishing the chapters of my webcomic.

I feel something I need to do in the near future is take a step back and reevaluate the choices I’ve been making with my art, to start from scratch and get back on track to working towards a grittier, dirtier art style that actively reflects what I want the most out of my art; the only issue is that I can’t at the moment, I’m preparing to move on Monday and after such I need to prioritize my queue which has gotten fuller than I’m used to, all I can make at the moment is art that’s smaller-scale, simpler and takes less time and focus to finish, and unfortunately that homogenous style I’ve found myself being boxed into fits perfectly into that criteria.

I want to break out of it as soon as humanly possible, but as time passes it seems like that opportunity is drifting further and further out of reach, at least for the time being…
