It has been really cool to see SoTG's artwork get progressively better with time. Same with Reier's. I find stylistic progression of one's art to be really fascinating.

123STW's art style and technique has not changed much since he first posted work here... I want to see some of your earlier, crappier, work. Post some pictures that you drew 10 years ago. :P

Might as well show off some of my art. I can't draw worth anything but pottery is always fun...

Pierre Le Pot (its a teapot, the beret comes off and the nose functions as a spout)

I have no clue what this is but it started out as a penguin and then turned into a Turtle-Penguin-Cow thingy

and from the back...

Squish (yes it has feet)

Na it's nothing exclusive. The artwork thread has always been like this.

People don't care because they can google something done professionally for free. So if you are not one of the pros, the only thing that will ever get you any attention is if you draw fanarts in a fan groups.

Robots aren't the only thing I can make out of cardboard. I'm working on a Medic costume for halloween. This is the TF2 Medic's Bonesaw. I sized it to fit in my hand.

I disagree. I know plenty of non-pros who get TONS of attention by drawing original works

So you are saying they draw bad and still get tons of positive attentions?

First, which website? I assume DA?

Second, when you said TONS, how much exactly do you mean?

Third, how much time/effort do they spend on "boosting their network"? This includes favorite/comment other people's work, chatting, youtube accounts, pay per clicks, etc.

Fourth, When did they start?

Either I am misinterpreting your definition of TONS, they draw a lot better than me, or they are advertising a lot better than I do. Cuz my original stuff gets 50 views at best while MLPFIM easily gets 100+ favorites.

Not being professional doesn't mean you draw badly.

Yep, deviantART

7663 pageviews in less than a month

Not a lot

Less than a month ago

123savethewhales · « **Reply #895 on:** October 24, 2011, 04:27:46 AM »

Pageviews doesn't really tell much.

How much actual favorites/comments do this person receive per image? Actually you know it's a lot easier just to provide the link of the person you are talking about.

Also, when I said Pro I don't exactly mean people doing art for money (which funny enough can totally suck), I mean people who are good at it (which I define as significantly better than me). If no advertising/pay per click are implemented, that person needs to be drawing a lot better than 95% of DA to get that kinna legitimate page views.

You forget to mention that her most popular stuff are MIKU and SAILOR MOON...... While her OC gets significantly less views despite her networking.

You know I kinna bang my head against the wall trying to get more views prior to MLPFIM Fanarts...... The only ways I know to boost viewcounts are

1. Actually drawing good enough (yes the pro stuff gets like 100x more views).

2. Fanart (popular characters in popular groups ONLY)

3. Social networking (ex. 20+ Comments per day (on average). Llama badges, social events)

4. Advertising (Youtube how to draw, external linking, pay per click)

As you can see I choose not to use 3 or 4 on my DA. I am just not social like that. Since 1 is beyond my control, 2 is the only option I have left. Fortunately I like MLPFIM enough to draw them for fun rather than for pageviews.
