Grumpy 'sona

Postby The Great ME! » Thu Sep 13, 2012 2:32 pm

Work in progress

Grumpy fursona is grumpy. Vent art I guess?
Frustrated with the fact that certain art, even if it's not all that great, can get tons of attention, comments, and even a feature while other good pieces don't get nearly enough attention. A picture of a dog or a chibi cat with bad anatomy can get 300+ likes and a feature in one day but a picture of a human that's not photo-realistic but still good can barely scrape up 30 likes in months and only a couple comments?
At least the photo-realistic art thoroughly deserves the tons of likes and comments and feature but...
I dunno. Makes no sense to me. But w/e. I'm sure I'll get at least one flame in response to what I had to say.

I totally agree with you on this one, it especially makes me mad when some drawing of the sky that took them about 3 minutes to make gets featured...and then you look over and see all the other drawings that deserve a feature just sittin there :(

Yeah, unfortunately it seems to happen with all my art :( not sure why but it's beyond frustrating and worse when people are like "This is great! It needs more attention" or "this should be featured" cuz then it's like "Well I guess it's really not as great as I thought since no one else apparently likes it". After a few years of that it kinda gets to be like what's the point?
Guess I'm just stubborn like that though because I'll probably keep posting stuff.
Anyway, enough of that ranting xD I'm glad you like it =3 I had a lot of fun drawing my 'sona's expression xD

Yeah, exactly. Some pieces that get featured are really great and deserve it and others are like "Well it's an okay attempt but feature worthy? Not sure how that logic works". but w/e, I'm not the one choosing.

Agreed. Basically, if it's Chicken Smoothie art or Pokemon, it has a giant chance of getting featured, even if it's not that high in quality.

Oh well, there's at least one high quality Pokemon picture in the features this round.
