I just came across your artwork using the browse feature and I really like it. I don't see anything wrong here. In my opinion you shouldn't change anything if that's the style you enjoy drawing in.

What makes me buy a commission from an artist?
For me it's important that artists do their own thing! An individual art style and an affordable price are the main reasons I choose to commission someone. As a customer I want something I can't get anywhere else: There are plenty of "quirky, cute, cartoony animal" art styles with the popular "same-face" syndrome out there. Whenever I see artists changing their work just to chase clicks or sales, money comes before passion and makes me lose interest.

It takes a lot of time to build something you can do part- or fulltime, especially when you're following your passion instead of copying trends. Also, times are tough for artists and art lovers: The market's huge. It's not easy to stand out among all the other talented artists. It won't help that everything's getting more expensive (at least where I live), so a lot of people can't afford art anymore.

I once tried doing something creative as my main job, but I couldn't get people at art schools excited about my stuff, and the cost of that stubborn, failed attempt to turn my hobby into a career was losing the fun that motivated me in the first place. Finally, after years, I could recover from this experience, but it will never be the same again.

Don't put so much pressure on yourself and keep doing what you love! People who appreciate it will find you. Sure, staying on-trend and constantly showing up on social media can get you successful faster, but at the end of the day you have to decide if it's worth it to you. The choice is yours.

Additional note:

Maybe add a some information about yourself to your profile. It also helps to have a "commission info" section so people can see right away whether you're open and what your prices are.

omg thank you SO much for writing all this!!!! it really means a lot to me, like genuinely

i’m super grateful you took the time to say all this and share your thoughts. it made me feel a lot better about everything

i’ll keep doing what i love and keep drawing<3 thanks again, this really made my day

You're very welcome! I'm really grateful for your appreciation, since I usually don't have much time for comments. But your post reminded me so strongly of my own thoughts and experiences that I just had to put my two cents in here :'D

My way to go is to take a stable job and keep art as a hobby for a while. My personal plan for the future is to only work as much as I need to cover the essentials so I have more time for drawing and fursuit making. Commissions should always stay optional for me so I can keep enjoying it. Commission income would be nice to have, but I don't want to depend on it.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you can find a good way to pay off your studies. Sounds like you have different life circumstances than mine here in Germany, so take my advice with a grain of salt. There are always different paths, and who knows, you might have better luck than I did. I sure hope so for you :)

you’re very kind, thank you so much! I’ll keep drawing!!!!
