I don’t know you, but your decision makes sense. People can still find the fanart when they look on the art sites for those fandoms. They’ll come for the fanart and stay for your own projects, ideally.

Good idea, but I suppose it would help to keep the art focused on one OC universe instead of just drawing a bunch of random original characters like I currently do--basically, like how brilliant artists here like Ennuikai pretty much just draw Trudy and her world with some Jojo's Bizarre Adventure fan art in between. I've got to start focusing myself on getting people interested in one of the two series I've always wanted to make, either "Mr. Needle in da Real World" or "Punk n' Gunk" (properly the latter, since it is slightly less ambitious/less expensive to make on my own).

What I think would REALLY help avoid burnout, though, is to have a private sketchbook to just draw whatever you feel like, whenever you feel like it, that you don't post on the Internet to remind you to at least draw for the fun of it from time to time. Not everything you draw has to be shown on the Internet, sometimes you just want to just scribble on some paper because you're not in the mood to spend your free time watching TV or playing video games that time.
