Question about art direction

Hey Hey,

So I have a question about directing myself through art, I used to draw a few characters here and there and some illustrations. But recently due to my internship at a game company I've been pushed into drawing animals. This is when I realized, I freaking love drawing animals, I think I like it way more than drawing humans? And for a reference I don't mean drawing animals as in drawing them as furries. I'll include a picture from an animal I've drawn recently I guess. So to get to a point, my question is, is it an actual valid option to become a creature/animal artist in the gaming industry. I'd think it's better to stear that direction anyways because soooooo many people do characters anyways and most games are filled to the bone with animals.. But still, is it usefull I push my portfolio towards an animal/ creature artist? And if so should I do 1 animal a month or just make tons of animals?
