@Thorvald: heck I'm glad to hear you think that's the case! ^^ haha sorry for my extremely confusing brain-frying post 😂 yeah I guess I basically just want the opportunity to connect with ppl in whichever artistic communities I set up shop in. given that side7 is Mostly character art and less conceptual/scenery-type pieces, my mind is going those places of wondering if I can put down more roots if I take the soil into account for what kinds of things I post.
but I'm glad to hear you think that regulars around here aren't necessarily looking for a particular type of "branding" or anything like that. :] maybe I'll just start posting everything like you suggested 😂
Trying to respond to this has actually fried my brain. XD At first I thought you were anxious that veering into moody/philosophical pieces would alienate the audience here. Then a half-hour into my reply, after multiple re-readings I realized you're really wondering if you should pivot out of landscapes in favour of the character art dominating the front page.
My gallery is such a grab-bag of whatever strikes my whim that I sometimes forget people curate for quote-unquote branding. My reflex response is Post Everything; a lot of people I follow both here and elsewhere work in a range of styles and themes, and while my Sisyphean struggle to sell Side 7 proves I have no business acumen, I would think a diverse portfolio is more a help than a hindrance. Plus the site's userbase skews heavily creator-centric and the regulars are pretty personable, so I like to think the people you do pick up are in it for the journey.
I know I am.
