I usually only draw characters I like. Chasing popularity/money misses the point of why I started making art.
I drew mainly Gochiusa for over five years with barely any audience, and I don’t regret a moment of it, because I was drawing what I love. I’m grateful that many of the things I love happen to be popular now, but I still work by the same principle and always will.
I put my heart into Gochiusa, then VTubers, and now Stella Sora and whatever I fall in love with next.
