Gonna say something because this is a personal blog: Genuinely hate how as an artist on social media, you can only grow an audience if you either: draw the exact same thing in the exact same style over and over again OR dedicate yourself to drawing fanart of the current most popular shows / games.
If you wanna be like....... a normal artist, then you're out. You have no chance. This reality hits me every time and it makes me... sad? Especially because to me, the most rewarding part of making art is getting to show others what I made. But hardly anyone's gonna look, unless you focus on that one thing and recycle it into eternity.
I always challenge myself to draw unique artwork without any "repeats" (altho, I've also learned to sometimes go easy and let myself draw a comfort zone artwork). But it's clearly not a way to make an impression or grab people's attention. If you draw x and someone's interested in that, they won't follow you unless your profile contains a whole array of xa and xb and xc and xd and xe and xf etc.
And it's just so weird, because while you might find monetary success with one approach, each approach comes with unhappiness. Either you draw what you want, and are unhappy about nobody being there to look at your stuff OR your force yourself to drive down a single narrow road (is any artist happy doing that?) while gaining a following and perhaps financial success. And I guess many people work jobs they hate, but the reason why I wanna do illustration is because I don't want to hate my job.
So, the only way out of this dilemma is to get those sweet commercial jobs, but jobs for graduates chronically do not exist. And then you think like, if I'm working minimum wage (or far below) anyway, why don't I just pick up a minimum wage job. I know I would love some assembly line work, but then I won't have time to draw anymore!!!!
Incohesive rant about a dilemma: done.
Also I want to add: If you chose to stick with me despite me not drawing that One Thing or That Fanart - You are the best, I love you, thanks.

hi!! no pressure at all but i humbly submit my hilda oc if you're interested 👉👈 her name's Mattie and she's a fankid i made for sketchbook jjhfjdh
(im so sorry i dont have any proper refs of her so i just dropped in a couple drawings if that's ok :') )
(p.s hope you're good!!)
I had to think so hard about who I wanted to draw her with, because there were so many funny options
But I offer you;
Mattie being babysat by Kaisa's weird aunts, Dot and Marj
Theyre from the Witches spin off, I can't remember if I've posted about them before, but I feel like if Kaisa had a kid, she'd want to introduce said kid to these two
They'd spoil Mattie rotten
