Artistic Evolution: Balancing Complexity and Appeal
a year ago
I've been wrestling with some self-doubt about my art style. Recently, I've noticed my work getting sharper and more detailed, with skilled, precise coloring techniques. I'm mastering bad-ass themes and crafting outfits beyond my imagination. Yet, I can't help but look back at my early work, comparing the simple, eye-catching designs to today's detailed, complex creations.
It's not about liking my creations; it seems buyers appreciate the less detailed, quick-to-create designs more than the intricate, time-consuming ones. Part of me wants to revisit my early style, learn from it, and maybe tweak my current approach. It's funny, but my early adoptables received awesome compliments and more likes, whereas my unique, detailed adoptables are getting less attention now. You get the point.
What do you think about this overthinking? Should I simplify my designs, almost reverting to the basics, or continue with the complex creations? Every artist needs feedback, so I'm open to advice or even a survey.

I do adore ya artstyle and will say that there’s been a few designs you’ve done in the past I liked but lost track of ^^;
The bad part is that people can now buy AI-generated adoptables at a cheaper price—how am I supposed to compete with that? Maybe people are just getting bored with browsing and favoriting content, hehe.
Thank you for the compliment, it really helps me.
