Gift art. I almost never get it. Only gift/surprise art I've EVER gotten were:
My unf icon by
FennecFur
One or two surprise pics from
Spazim
And that's about it :/ And then I see all these people (i.e
BlueNire) who, for awhile, was doing pixel icons for their close friends. And I can't do gift art because I can't draw...
I hate being so unpopular...

FA+

ou don't want to become one of those ahem 'popular' furs that has a thousand or so watchers that only pay attention when you put up some smut so they can get their rocks of. Even with that many watchers, you'll still only get a few comments and real communicative relationships.
You should be happy with the friends you have that enjoy your work and take the time to comment and appreciate what you do. Otherwise, the wooks you do just become dilluted and non-meaningful. Do you really want two or three dozen 'Cool' and 'Nice job' to paw through all the time? It gets repetitive real quick.
Just my advice!
GOTTA LOVE THE PONIES!
