Do you have one that you’d like to float here? I’d also be interested

Here’s some cursed advice: have a project, character or story you focus on.
>cursed because as soon as I realized it on my own, it’s like the world suddenly parrots back to me my own thoughts through YT videos and other Internet people.
As an artist and art enjoyer, I mostly follow and get excited to see work from people who have ongoing projects or a character I like that they keep drawing. These are also things that are easier for the artist to be passionate about and build an identity around.
Think about hooks too. A cool character is a hook, a story is a hook, and the style and delivery of those things are what people will really remember. Once you’ve given people proof of sorts that you can make cool stuff, they’ll be excited to see whatever next thing you've got cooking.
Pic rel is Mackle, who has a comic called Chokepoint, which has a really nice visual style and atmosphere. A great series of illustrations too themed around death and a cyberspace afterlife. He branched into commissions and I can totally understand wanting something of my own, a character or scenario perhaps, drawn in his style. Now he’s doing album covers. And I think it’s all really cool, I love seeing it, I want to see whatever he does next, because he hooked me with pic.
