@nyrrylcadiz WHOA! Absolutely stunning! I like the blur effect on the planet they or on but I feel it might be a little harsh. My only thoughts at the moment.

@nyrrylcadiz Awesome. I'm gonna watch this thread to keep updated!

I love these and the concept is pretty unique. At least to me. This looks like a wonderful project so far and I can see this as a nice book and comic novel to read.

@animatosoor You're welcome! I've learned over some time that if you don't believe in you and don't compare yourself to others (as much) no one else really will.

@animatosoor I agree on the competition. I look at it like this though, you are the only you and with a broad range of different illustration jobs around it definitely is beneficial to put yourself out there and make yourself consistently known. It's more than likely just the law of averages you are playing with.

After doing some mild research on the subject of art mailers, I found an Art Director that talks a lot about it.
Giuseppe Castellano. http://www.gcastellano.com/

He reviews and discusses Illustration Mailers on twitter.

@Will-Terry thank you for this and taking the time to respond. I truly appreciate and respect your input. I would have to agree with your points. When I started graphic design I targeted what I loved and eventually got more of it to work on. (Logos and iconography ). Eventually moved over to web development for financial reasons and put a back seat to that passion. Now I feel wayyy out of touch in what I wanted to do, to begin with.

But that's a story for another time. Thanks again! I should post more work and get feedback.

I've heard this in many different industries about how to define your audience or finding your tribe and even defining your business modal.

Has anyone come up with a strategy or process on who you serve and how you define your ideal client? @Will-Terry @Lee-White @Jake-Parker and formulating a business plan?

Knowing who you serve usually identifies how you brand your self. And branding is very difficult to do because we usually develop in our own bubble.
