Its too individual to try to peg honestly. For me I had to rediscover what I liked as a child to really get a sense for what I truly like. I think that if you take a look back at what kinds of things you were generally interested in as a child you'll learn a lot about where you should be going in the future. I lost touch with those interests, and subsequently I went down many paths that I didn't truly enjoy but somehow felt obligated to enjoy to please others or something
I like artists that convey emotion or mystery well, or on the flip side something just completely ludicrous, neither of which *require* crazy rendering skills. In my view the magic arises when you actually discover what *you* really enjoy, in your art and others, and stop trying to do what you think others will like. Like you I don't think Ive really gotten there yet, but being conscious of how it might work for yourself is a step in the right direction
