What comes to your mind first?

General
Haa jah, fussing about my art again.
dunno, it still frustrates me that i have no identity with my stuff. It's really all over the place.
I seem to have phases were i like to draw dark art, then sexy furry art, then naturalistic studies, after that some pokemon fanart and then start at the beginning again. and so on and so on. (on top of that I have no patience for long piece and upload lots of sketches and quick art x_x)
I never could stick with just one thing, that makes it feel so random when you look at it all.
But i'm really curious, what first comes to your mind if you think of my art?
EDIT: woa thanks for all the replies! i will go through and answer all of them (just might take some time) but it really lifted my spirits <3
Thanks so much!!

FA+

and also thank you for your kind words about speedy art. i am glad that other people like sketches too~
Deciding what to post is a different matter. Posting animalpeople or pokepeople is of course going to get more attention on FA than other stuff, but I wouldn't shy away from posting what you're passionate about!
i wish there were more folder options on FA, because i also think not all subjects go along that well and it would be cool to not have to make multiple accounts for different things.
but can't have everything :,)
so thanks for your kind words :D
I feel that's a bit like only ever eating one kind of food.
I've always felt you show a lot of your own expression through your art. You made your fly character because you wanted to. And with your art, you helped show us how you see the world. Show us how much personality there is in flies and insects. How that while monsters can be fearsome and dangerous, there is a fascination one can't deny with them. Even an approachable side.
Though, I can understand the self reflection since I do it too. I have content that goes all over the place but I think that's just how my mind is. And at the end of the day, isn't our art just a way to show others that bit of chaos?
We are not machines that are destined to just copy the latest style and produce in mass thoughtless eye candy. Those that make the mistake of doing so often burn out and have to pull themselves out of a deep rut.
A bit of structure is good and may make you feel better with some of your work, but please don't feel like you have to box yourself in too much.
soft, faded, linework
heavy shiny eyelids
And yeah, sometimes interests shift. I'm pretty sure every artist has their own "pile of shame" to agonize over of things or subject matters that they keep thinking they should go back to. Alas, inspiration is a fickle beast with no direction and one cannot help but follow
good anatomy. You proportion your characters really damn well

you just do really damn good anatomy. so envious
Personally, I particularly love artists who explore different styles and subject matter. Why limit yourself? Consistency can become boring and complacent.
Be yourself. Keep pushing yourself. Pursue what interests and inspires you, it makes for better art. We'll be here.
It's why it makes me so happy, feels like a hug.
It is a huge inspiration for me and makes me happy
It's something I deal with as well. Shifting thoughts and tastes, and I simply ride the feeling and express it.
I enjoy just about everything you put out. <3
I love it!
Your eyes are always big and expressive! You also have a good grasp on body anatomy id say. I think lithe, shapely bodies in your style. Your nature studies are always incredible to see!
Heh, and I admit I think you draw maws and paws rather well XD
But yeah! I guess that's what I'd say I think of.
I think your nature studies are the most striking and unique of your works, personally. Ofc, all your art rocks! <3
might not be true anymore, still its my association
Then after I get over the initial fear, I just love the way you draw. The colors are soft, the lines are smooth, the anatomy is great, and topics are varied and interesting.
Please keep doing what you love. It shows through into your work, and that's what the fans love. (Disclaimer: I don't actually speak for all fans, but I'm still right.)
A little difficult for me to describe, but some other pictures are often 'restless' and the gaze wanders across the picture unfocused. With your images, the layout always feels quite well done, so it's easy to grasp the image at first glance.
Another little thought on your 'unsteady' art style. That doesn't necessarily have to be a negative thing. In times where generic fantasy art, gaming concept art or glossy anime art seem to be dominated by a few styles and at the same time AI programmes are creeping up on the horizon that already copy these styles quite well, it is rather an advantage not to be so fixed on one style.
It also keeps creativity fresh and you can catch inspiration from other directions.
