In the general sense, I never worried about having my own style. Since I went into the field of advertising and commercial art, it was better to be transparent, ie, able to draw anything to look like it came from the original creator. Besides doing this, there has always been the art I do just for myself, generally original, though sometimes, okay, often containing real people or other fictional characters. When I started using deviantart to showcase my work with Carl and Hand Banana of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, I found I didn't want to draw the characters exactly as they appeared in the show. I could, but there's no point in it. I found it more fun to draw the details they always left out, such as the characters' eye color and Carl's gold tooth. Now that I look at them I can clearly recognize "my" depictions from the originals. In this case it was a conscious decision NOT to draw them the same way they have been drawn. The way I draw them came to me naturally by following what I wanted to concentrate on, but of course my entire background of art and the practice of drawing in general influences what I am able to do. I also want to add here that I think subject matter drives style a lot. I have other works that I have different styles for.
