Mmm... there is a random factor associated with thread popularity, plus the undeniable edge a catchy title will give.
But when we're talking quality, I thought, by now, my stuff would "sell" well even with a mundane wrapping.
I mean, it's not like I'm drawing crap.
Been here, drawing stuff, since late 2003.
Hoped people would click my pics, trusting my name, without needing me to lure them with shiny objects.
And this pointless thread is beating anybody's art *without* a shred of tickling pic!
...
Mind you, I'm not bitching for the sake of it.
Just voicing something I started noticing back in late 2004.
I'm not chasing people to know what they like.
After all it's me giving you something, not the other way around.
Sure, good rep is good. But gold is better, if you get my meaning.
...
Just trying to figure out, for the sake of academy, what the heck people want.
When new drawers pop up, I read "Ah, you're the best artist I see after a good while".
And I wonder: "What? What about the rest of us?"
"Ah, that's it, you're jealous green!", I can hear you folks.
Sure, why not?
Whom am I drawing for?
Ness and Tukano alone?
Well... on a second thought... I am drawing for myself and my pals.
That's why I delete my pics after a while.
Once they get to see them, no sense in leaving them lying around.
...
So, tell you what: as soon as this thread strikes 1000, I'll post something from my archive.
I have a few pics in my drawer you probably haven't seen yet.
Or just a couple of times.
...
Then I'll just delete them and let this thread sink into oblivion.
