The realest struggle
I made this dumb faust meme like a month ago
It became my top post overnight. Hundreds of reblogs.
This piece of my Apprentice took me four hours and was tagged all to hell.
Not even a third of the notes are reblogs.
Not to hijack OP’s post, but this is a serious issue. I’m glad people like my work and other artists” work enough to like the piece, but liking it doesn’t engage a wider audience or make it visible where even MORE users can enjoy it.
Even popular fandom artists like @junkpilestuff and @lazyvoyager have these beautiful pieces with a seemingly high number of notes
But looking through the list of notes on each of the above pieces they’re almost exclusively— Likes. To the point where you see a pattern of the artist reblogging their own art because not enough people are seeing it.
I always make time to post, maintain, and reblog my own art, but as an artist and fellow member of this community, I also take the time to reblog other artists’ work, because I know that struggle. And even if you don’t know that struggle, if you think it’s pretty, reblog it!
It costs zero dollars to help Tumblr artists get visibility.
Omg i was surprised of this tag, and yeah reblogs are nice! It increases visibility.
But to clear things up, i usually reblog my own stuff from time to time because i saw it again on my notes (either someone rbing or liking it) and liked/surprised on how it looked again after a long while, so i’d like to have it on top of my blog again XD;;;;;;;;
Regardless, i am glad that people looked at my stuff, liking or reblogging! I appreciate it very much.
But if you want to support new artists, reblogging helps! Personally i like reblogs because i love the cute tags people sometimes type up X3
