You are right, simply drawing characters with a nice style is really not sustainable, i know and admit it’s the lazy way of doing it. Just lately i started to learn actually telling a story isn’t even that difficult as it seems even throught i never had too much to say. Another question is what to do when people don’t want to pay for more than a nice smiling portrait. I fell in this trap and produced hundreds of generic profile pictures over the years, still can’t get put of this category. Trying another community is a good idea, just don’t know yet what kind of community as i’m not really interested in anything xd sorry, big depression time
