I'll probably sound like a killjoy here but have you ever thought of stepping beyond the comfort zone and trying something else? Like trying out different genres and shit? 11 years is a Hella long time. You've ever thought about it at all?
not really? i feel that i haven't really explored that much.
at this point, i feel that sticking to genres just made it more artificial. i usually just start from the concept and idea, and incorporate what's most natural for me.
a comfort zone is there for a reason, i don't fix everything that works. i just made adjustments to make it better.
@gaylolis Ehh, I think you're fine. Some people are specialized in certain works - there's something called specialization for a reason. We mainly have it in STEM, but it happens in art too. An example is impressionism; a lot of artists who're impressionists stick to it as a core, right down to subjects.
