Clients, galleries and agencies do seem to like a predictable "look" from an artist, especially in commissioned portraits when they can't see what they're getting til long after the contract is signed. Your "look" or personal style will probably emerge of its own accord over time.

I think it was Winslow Homer who said that an artist doesn't have to work to create their own style, that eventually it would emerge despite anything an artist did consciously to create or avoid it.
