Super trend riders, surfing on the waves of each trend hopping onto the next wave as it starts to rear up
I'm like >>4977386 in the sense that I find it interesting how they managed to get so many eyeballs on them in the first place, while there's obviously factors such as stylisation and the quality of art they produce, the quality of art only helps them standout once they already have an audience, but the only way someone can go from having zero fans to more than zero is by latching onto something that people are seeking out in the first place.

If they just keep making original art at best they can very slowly work up a fan base of people who stumbled across their art by accident, but if they draw characters that are already popular then they have more of a chance for someone to stumble across their art work, even more so if they go after much less saturated characters and IPs (i.e flavour of the month anime/game coom idols)
Of course the quality of the art helps massively, but it won't help at all if people won't come across the art in the first place, and that's the key to all of those successful coombux farmers, a mixture of appealing art (even if it doesn't appeal to you, it appeals to some coomer out there), trending riding and of course a little bit of luck :^) pic related
