Character Development

Ive started Character development of what was once a character from the inktober drawings, and although i like them, i dont think this is for me. Iam starting to loose interest in drawings things with no context behind them. My Cop work was really engaging to me, where i could thoroughly research something  and create something as a conclusion. This seems really tasking as there is no purpose for them, i like the idea of character development and it will be something i will do in briefs, but i feel like it is almost a waste of time as they are not going to be used for anything. I really want to make work with a purpose so i think i need to step back and take a look at what work i really want to make.
