What makes your art stand out from the rest? What are you going to contribute to the World that gets you noticed? What do you want to be remembered for?
Alot of Artists can re-create Artworks from other Artists, but that doesn't necessarily make them great.
I've seen alot of fan-work, and I myself am another Artist who is influenced by other Artists, but that doesn't make me......me.
Some Artists have huge and impressive ideas, but yet, they hold on to them, and never let them truly shine.
Originality is key.
We all like new and interesting points of view.
