Creators! What's your best-performing piece?
a year ago
General
Greetings, furthings! Today I'm serving up a spicy meatball of introspection for all you art-folk out there still whacking about in the salt mines, yearning for Italian food. Of the pieces you've posted here, which one has performed the best? This applies to pictures, objects, writing, music, whatever! Even if you only dabble.
We'll use an easy metric: Ignoring the length of time that any particular piece has been up, divide its faves by the number of views. You should get a rough idea of its "popularity" as a percentage. Obviously, this doesn't account for pieces with big comment chains or unusually high views, but you can use the outliers, too.
Did the reaction have any particular impact on your work? Did you find that the attention on this piece resulted in conversion to watchers? Are you mostly creating similar content these days, or something else entirely?
I'll go first: Dessert, featuring Zukie and Jinny, is still my most popular piece here after almost 15 years, at ~9.8%. This is around the time I started experimenting with more three-dimensional faces, instead of the ultra flat style I'd been cultivating up until that point. I really like asymmetry, and I try to incorporate it into my art whenever I can. I'm not sure if this got many additional eyeballs in the gallery since it was posted so long ago, but apparently the good vibes meant that chubby cheeks were officially the wave of the future. My art as a whole has been doing a slow creep towards more varied body shapes since then.
So what about you, buster? Spill it!

FA+

And as your yours, i would also have Zukie as the ones i would pick from your gallery. I think its easily to pick artwork from the rest if youre familiar with the characters.
I suspect most artists probably tip their hand on which of their characters is their personal favorite not only by sheer volume of art, but also by what kind of antics those characters get up to in said art. Good vibes definitely go a long way towards making a picture more fun to look at!
Just between you and me, I also have a soft spot for Zukie...
prolly this one =0 I did the math and yeah. 24% - ish.
Do your commissions or your personal projects generally do better at FA?
but mostly coms get the most
