/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Hey /ic/, just wondering, in your experience or observations, how do western illustrators manage to build an audience in Asian spaces like Pixiv, the asian side of X etc...?

Like, what should you produce and not produce to gain their attention? Just fanart of popular characters from popular IPs? I'll admit, I don't really understand their tastes, but want to break into that market.

Pic related were the most popular 2024 video game characters according to keywords on places like bilibili.com, 2ch etc...
Personally, I never really understood why people there liked designs like this. I want to understand their quirks and preferences.
If you're experienced in such things, please help me understand better.

Thanks
