These were all requests, and i don't think any of them are similar at all.

Well, I think he's referring to the pattern of pieces coming through lately. As in, distorted writing, with some type of strange monster in the pic. I personally think these are great. But I gotta admit, I'm failing to see the connection between the monsters and the name...like, in all of them. I mean, if that's what the client specifically asked for, I guess it's cool, but you know, I don't really get it otherwise. Maybe you could try experimenting with certain styles, when you get the free time. I'm pretty sure creating pieces in the same style over and over tends to get tiresome after a while.

Edit: This wasn't a complete thought, i haven't had any sleep for 2 days. :(

But basically, for my art I want to have a style. I want people to be able to look at my designs and know without actually knowing that they are the designs of Lycanthropy Art.

I could do a bunch of other designs with normal fonts, and in a different style. But i don't want to. I enjoy doing them this way.

They all look nice, the style is strong, but I'll agree that they look too similar. They're all two- or three-color on black, one bright color and one lighter muted color, usually complimentary, same outlining style, similar shading styles, and I imagine they're all roughly the same size in the same position once they're screened.

There's nothing wrong with defining a style for yourself and working to strengthen that style, but if you're working professionally then be wary of two things. First and foremost, if you're restricting your work that heavily, then you leave yourself with far less space to manuever in and far less space to grow. Secondly, be extremely careful about all of your work fitting into that style, because down the road you'll realize that you've pigeonholed yourself into an extremely niche (and gradually depleting) market. You don't want to have to find a new job in two years, just to look down at your portfolio and realize that there's little depth or variance in any of your designs.

All of that said, they really are nice. I especially like your type (with the exception of the most recent one) and the way that its forms complement your image.

This one's for Helm, since he wanted to see more of my compositions.

I recently finished this piece, it's relaxing.

Guys these are shirt designs. The more colors used the more expensive it is to print. They tell me what color shirt they want and how many colors to use.

If someone says they want the design made to wrap around the side of the shirt then i'll do that. I'm just doing what people ask for.
