What I hate about my most popular piece.
7 years ago
Artists like comments.
Writers NEED comments.
Tell writers what you think, even if you hate it. Let's face it: I post WAY too rarely around here, and so it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that one of my oldest posts is my most popular. Truthfully, it's rare that more than a few weeks go by where someone isn't Faving it.
The problem is, I don't know if it's really my work they're favoring.
This is the piece I'm talking about: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9511245/ It's a two-part work. It's a coloration I did fairly early on, but more than that, it also contains a short story written by me: an adaptation of a scene from the tv show that inspired the picture. My issue is that I don't know what it is people are faving about it. For one thing, it's a popular character. Not only that, but it's that character in a situation that has developed a cult following of it's own. In addition, the linework was done by an incredibly popular and talented artist on this site. Both of these are factors that dampen my enthusiasm for it's popularity, but most of all, it's that for all the Views and Faves, only THREE people have ever commented on it. I don't know if they like my coloring, my writing, or if they just said 'Ooh, snake girl. Fav!!!'
