I think it's the floofyness of your more 'toony stuff. You draw floof in a particular way. And your realism is instantly recognizable because of those EYES. They're always so stunning.
I should really get into Photoshop.. I've been meaning to for ages, but it scares me, lol. There're like 4378472 different options for everything. I'm not very good at remembering how to do things.
I agree about the goldmine of inspiration bit. It does get a little overwhelming sometimes though, when you come across x number of AMAZING artists that are on such a higher level than yourself and are around the same age or younger. For me, it can be a sort of double-edged sword. Jealousy has motivated me in the past to get better with my art, but it has also made me kind of..I don't know. Not depressed, but just sort of..left me feeling uberly inferior, and the inspiration goes out the window. Lj has been great though. There are so many helpful communities on here that provide dozens of tutorial links, and R&C has been a life-saver. And I'm rambling o__O *Goes away*
