Another birthday and question about my popularity

Wheee, another year older! And although I'm probably older than most other artists I see in the community, I feel like I have a lot of growing up yet to do. I thank you all for sticking with me through my bumbling and mistakes.

So here's the biggest thing on my mind. My family know I do erotic art and have been encouraging me to try and do more with it. Stuff that would lead to making some money on the side with it in certain ways. However, I've been hitting a mental road block when it comes to that.

My art has been about being my creative muse and making the content I wanted to see that no one else was doing. Y'know, explosives. In about six months, I will have been at this for an entire decade; ten whole years. I see this huge milestone on the horizon, hear all the ideas about what I could possibly be doing more, and I ask...

Am I good enough? Am I popular enough?

Do I have enough of a following to warrant doing more than just my own thing? Should I be trying to get more followers? How would I even do that?

I've felt I was at the right amount of notoriety for just being how I relax here and there. Got my regulars who comment (thank you, by the way!), my inspirations I bump elbows with, and just a good feeling all around. Although, I must admit I feel a pang of jealousy when I see newer artists who surpass my internet numbers. With the big ten year mark coming, the what-ifs come to haunt me a bit about what I could have done better.

But maybe it'll be like those big milestone birthdays where they just pass and you realize it's nothing all along. Shrug.

Thank you all for watching and here's to another year!

I'd say you're good enough. You've got the style and the dedication. You made your personal mark. Why not try to branch? Could help.
