Explanation for a lack of art. I feel I owe one.

General
Hey everyone. If you didn't notice, I haven't been drawing as much lately, and as such, my FA has seemed quite dead. Well, I owe a few explanations, so here they are.
tl;dr version:Being out of school makes me lazy. I've been doing more work with SFM/GMod. I don't think people care about what I draw and much rather look at more fetishized things.
First off, I graduated college, and as you may have also seen, the months where I'm not in school are very slow from an artistic standpoint due to my mind not being as productive, and more willing to laze around playing games or whatnot. Now that I'm out of school, that's come full circle. I have done sketches from here and there, but none of them have been really digitized into a colored piece, and not everything is really worth showing.
Second, I went back to DA and made a brand new account for Garry's Mod/Source Filmmaker content I create, since FA's policies on such things are...well...yeah. Trust me. I'd be submitting all the cool model ports and stuff I've done if FA would let me. But alas, it's gotta be strictly art here.
Third, I just don't even know what anyone wants me to draw anymore. Hell, I don't even know what I want to draw anymore. I've always had ideas in my head, but no drive to get them on paper. Usually it's something I can just execute in a 3D realm like Source Filmmaker, but even then I have no clue about proper modelling, and the most I do is just edits of existing models. For example; a friend's recent submission put me in a mood for modular Bowser art. I didn't draw, but rather, animated something by chopping apart Bowser's model from Super Mario 3D World, and proceeding to animate it.
Pretty good, isn't it?
But the thing is, I really want to keep drawing active here. I want people to remember me by something, and think of me as a worthwhile artist. And I feel that if I don't put out content, people will forget me.
Should I just start over, make a more interesting character and go with a fetish people will actually watch? I notice this all the time; I get new watches from inflation/fat artists, when my prime stuff is modularity and I've only drawn such a thing maybe once or twice. And then there's people who get attention by drawing "modular" art, but it involves things like dicknecks or amputees. Is my content just trite and boring?
What should I do?

Just because this is Furaffinity and the majority of people here are a hugbox gathering of wanting to get their folders on their computers filled with fap fodder, shouldn't ever be the reason you don't post more of what you feel like posting.
Your an artist, some people other than those looking to mingle for just for fetishes are out there, this is your page, don't let pressure dictate what you wanna share.
What do you think your next project will be?
