I might have accidentally found my niche

Well, it's not like accidental, like i have always have an inkling to it, but now it's much more clearer.

Do you know which is my favorite art? Yeah, it's these two!

Now, if we're gonna list why i like these two, i would have a super duper long long list, so let's change the question. What is the similarity of these two artworks?

  1. Bright colors that compete for your attention
  2. Abstract thingy
  3. Some kind of body horror type deal

So my art style is these 3!

But recently, i feel like i can't draw anything for the life of me and i feel like drawing a full own artwork is not worth it as my skill is unable to satisfy me for some reason especially an abstract art as i feel like i have to come up with interesting shapes and gimmick and stuff and it's stressing me out so all i did for the past few days was doodling and sketching and when i feel bored i just doodle or sketch a new one and repeat and sometimes when i don't have any ideas of what to draw i just pull up my gallery and redraw something from it

Today, miraculously, among many doodles and sketches i am quickly bored of, i drew something that i am proud of!

Please excuse the messiness as this was just a doodle w

This is a redraw of this specific cosplay of Mashiro Meme (i will link it if i find it), a guy with cute appearance who streams horror, both horror games, or his listener would send him a ghost photo or stories and he would react and check it on stream, and he did vlogs to famous haunted place, and made videos about how he play solo hide and seek, all the scary and interesting stuff, love him, my oshi.

i was confused as of why i like this so much as 1. i didn't color it so no bright colors, 2. no sign of abstract, and 3. no sign of body horror besides i guess the skull

until i realize that...

What is my base niche!!!

  1. Cute (e.g. Mashiro is cute!)
  2. Detailed (e.g. the bone)
  3. Creepy (or something that brings unease)

And it evolved!!!

  1. Cute >> Bright colors are always cute!!!
  2. Detailed >> My abstract stuff is always detailed!!!
  3. Creepy >> Body horror is always creepy!!!

For some reason this give me a lot of clarity!!! Like, waogh! if i am too lazy to draw abstract i can just go back to base setting and draw something detailed! or if the character i am drawing doesn't have body horror (Something i struggle with a lot) i can just make it a creepy picture! If i am forced to not use bright colors like for example the character palette is muted, i can just do everything in my power to make the character look cute! And i might develop new niches from the base niche evolving! This is so fun!!! I am so happy!!!

Comments are welcome! Tell me what you think of my new discovery! Should i continue this sketch?
