How the fuck do art styles work? I like the level of intricacy that come from drawing realistic detailed stuff but I also hate realism and love drawing silly little cartoon guys. How do I find the balance??

*WIP* - Retouching the art for my game Xenospore! 🎨
I removed the black strokes inside the tiles and kept the black outlines to reduce visual clutter and make the design cleaner and more focused.
What do you think?

Wait till they hear how every famous painter always had models posing or just straight up painted on site. Mucha was super into photos and would put grids on prints to copy them. Rembrandt used camera obscura.
There are no rules to art and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn’t want you to succeed.

This is what your reposts and signal boosts can do for independent artists.
Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

Don't sacrifice your authentic self for other people. Especially in these times. That's all I have to say.
