Very fun piece.

At least SOMEONE likes it...

Don't sweat it too much, Vorpah, it seems to be that it takes a consistent offering of work for any artist around these parts to develop a critical mass of responses.

Just keep at it.

That wasn't meant to be a dig or to start a flame war at all. It's just common sense - the more work you produce, the more attention you'll attract.

The more attention you attract, the more forum buddies you'll likely make, and the more responses you'll likely generate with helpful C&C.

However, Vorpal will be getting no quality C&C from me, because I lack any significant ammount of "real art" skillz.

Edit: I changed my mind. The truth hurts, and I don't care who--this is what I think:

It's quality, not quantity. If you're telling someone to be consistent in their offering of quality in their work, I'd agree with you, but you worded it as though a consistent offering of work in frequency would net more responses. I disagree. If you go about it too frequently and don't look and learn from past mistakes, the road to improvement in quality for future work is a much longer one.

I started my art thread about two months ago. As of late, I'm lucky if I get one comment on any work I post in there. On the other hand, adepts such as Juggertha and GillBates (others, etc.) post their work in new threads and get pages of responses.

Why? Is my art style crummy? Maybe I'm just old hat? Most likely, their work is more refined and better overall to look at through past experience. Their names are usually attributed to quality stuff, and they are consistent in their quality, so it shouldn't be a surprise. I feel I'm consistent in quality, too, but don't have as much time and experience that those mentioned do.

Then again, why should I give a rat's [censored]? The only person who's going to make me happy over my work is me--and as long as I get what's in my head into motions on my hand, into the pencil, and onto the paper, I'll still be proud enough to sign it, date it, and share it with others, now matter how little response I get.

Like I said before, Vorpal, stick to the work and the experience is sure to follow.
