I’ve drawn over 300 characters in over 20 different comics series ,all featuring their own styles.
I think it’s way more interesting to crossover them and see how different they look from one another.

It’s kind of like Homestar runner all of the characters look drastically different but that what makes them special. Why have a million template characters when you could have variety?

Creating a consistent style when you’re starting out shouldn’t be your goal. Neither should be the fans, or even getting better, don’t judge yourself or compare yourself to other artists.
If you do you’ll be beating yourself up for the rest of your life because there’s always someone “better”.

Your main drive should be expressing yourself and having fun. Because that’s what arts all about.

Look at Disney the old golden standard, all they care about now is the quality and the fame and fortune, and pleasing everybody and they forgot what art is, expressing emotion, experimenting, taking risks.

They don’t make art anymore, now they just make empty, emotionless, soulless, content. What they’ve achieved is perfection and to be frank perfection is boring.

If you want to please everybody you’ll please no one.

So forget about climbing the corporate ladder art is the complete opposite it’s rebellious and unpredictable even when you it’s “bad” it can still be good to someone, maybe not to everyone but if it makes at least one person happy or feel something then you’ve succeeded.
