What am I missing?
9 years ago
Now here is something that I hope one of my watchers is able to help me with: What am I missing?
I have been trying to make inroads into FurAffinity for a while now, and I feel that progress has been really slow. So I'd like to reach out to you and ask: what is keeping me from being able to reach a larger amount of people on this site?
Is it that my themes and subjects aren't really interesting, appealing or eye-catching?
Is it that I'm just not good enough yet?
Is it that I fail to engage with the community?
Is it that I don't draw enough smut?
What do you think? What do you feel I could do to improve my exposition and notoriety without having to sacrifice the essence and feel of my works, therefore alienating the following I already managed to garner? I could really use your help to figure out how to make more progress towards being able to provide for at least myself with my artwork!
Thank you so much for your attention and support. :)

What I would say strikes me most about your work is the Musteladies/Mustelads series, though for the time being the story or theme behind it is simplistic and doesn't have much of a path or pattern so much as it is just a general collection. Lately, I've noticed that I enjoy a creator's work a lot more when they have a story behind the art, but that's a personal preference, I think.
you have more than twice as many people watching you, as you have uploads
I would argue that whatever you're doing - keep doing it - you're doing great
So I can just assume that my work doesn't have enough appeal to make it watch-worthy yet.
Doesn't mean that I'll give up, I have a lot to improve, but it IS disheartening.
for more attention, I would suggest diving into art trades and colabs with more popular artists - get your name out there that way around
fan-art is another option
I'd suggest either paid advertisement (if only that were a thing for budding furry artists) or using personal connections. Word of mouth is how I see any sort of content creator (writer, artist, blogger, YouTuber) grow substantially. Ultimately, the tools of marketing is what gets you the most publicity.
Though I am a fan of your art, that is all the advice I can give. Stay strong, and I hope you grow. I'll keep watch ^^
You on the other hand do
You should try to dare more in your drawing, without slipping too easyly in the bad taste, which is not a simple task but rewarding in the long time.
What could I suggest? Sexy but not too explicit Rule 34 pics, shippings that nobody has done before but that makes sense in a straight or twisted way.
Just find your own balance between what you like to draw and what people would like you to draw.
