Topic: "Give 'em some <3" thread

Posted under Art Talk

I've seen this happen to a lot of well-done artwork but often fail to garner any attention. Either by having a non-attractive thumbnail or overshadowed by all the porn surrounding them.

Post the thumbnails of posts that you feel need more love.

This one is criminally overlooked.

The art style and technical details are decent, but what really gets me is the cleverness of the gas-mask-bra idea. I don't know, it just looks really cool to me.

Yeah faves and uploads basically.

It's a good question but frankly I think it's gonna be check my faves thread.
What do I do when I see a nice artwork that clearly needs more love? Well I click the fav button.

Also related, "check this artist I've only uploaded a couple of his works but there's a whole gallery there" but I'm afraid this will come down to check my faves as well.

Such a pretty muzzle. And I like red eyes. Style included; good one.

Of course you can't. You can only see your own votes. Do you want a list of the other ones?

Huh, I could have sworn that worked in the past(I think?).

If you feel any of them are worth sharing, then please do!

It did work in the past. I don't know when they change it, but they did.

Looking through my faves, and noticing that most of them with lower scores are usually have fetishes like vore and incest. Outside of that, there are quite a few kemono doujinshi on here that get very little attention.

This is another one I think deserved more attention than it got. The art is excellent (it's Kajinchu, so yeah), and one of the few depictions of Final Fantasy X's Valefor done well - perhaps my favorite summon in the entire series.

Just a really nice piece.

Lots of good stuff

Thank you for blessing me with all this good art. Plenty of new favorites will definitely be made. <3

Since tag subscriptions are broken, I decided to make something better: a list of about 131 artists on my profile under Good Artist Searches.

It seems artists who mainly draw male characters like sigma_x are missing from that list. I'm going to assume that is due to personal taste.

The list is what it is. You can start your own list with this code:

[section=Artists][table][thead][tr][th]artist[/th][th]-voted[/th][th]pending[/th][th]deleted
[/th][/tr][/thead][tbody][tr][td]{{ARTIST}} [/td][td] "โ˜‘":https://e621.net/post/index/1/ARTIST%20-voted:USERNAME [/td][td] "โฐ":https://e621.net/post/index/1/ARTIST%20status:pending [/td][td] "๐Ÿšซ":https://e621.net/post/index/1/ARTIST%20status:deleted

I like what you did there. Definitely more informative than mine, which is mostly meant for me to click on.

Thanks. It helps the 3 users who ever actually view my profile more if they have some idea of what content to expect when they click on those artists, though I probably should write that data out a bit clearer and add data for the ones that don't have it. I'll maybe add a column for the rough amount of porn each artist has as well.

On topic:

By the way, I found out some time ago that you don't need to put a space between thumbnails.

You just Tetris'd the shit out of those.

That was the idea. Orderly and somewhat diverse, and I left the last column empty so they wouldn't disappear.

Normally it's the sketches that go unnoticed...

Especially when they're untagged. Check the tag histories.

You'd be surprised how many images like these I find by searching gentags:<12, going about 400 pages in and tagging whatever comes up.

I noticed the artist hanukami recently from this upload.

post #1194224

I feel the apparent quality of their works is under-appreciated here. Check out their works off-site too, since e621 has about 1/5 of the artist's gallery.

Of all the artists I watch on my profile, the only one that I feel is under-appreciated here would be kiske_7key, presumably due to inactivity and old uploads.

post #121465

Their tumblr seems to have their complete gallery.

Since I'm posting in this thread, I would also like to spotlight the artist lyc.

post #788777

Although I do feel their works individually garner the attention they deserve purely from their merits, I assume not enough people associate the artist's handle with their works. In other words, their art is appreciated but few actually remember the artist. Their name is lyc and don't forget it!

Beyond that, when I want to find awe-inspiring, desktop-worthy safe art, I do a deep dive of Pixiv. I could put together a link and art dump (400 pictures from 20 artists + 20 more artists I haven't checked) of what I've found since losing my data HDD if anyone wants. My strategy for discovering good art and artists on Pixiv is to start with good submissions for a recent contest, check out those artists, check out those artists' bookmarks, and keep exploring the bookmarks from artists with fruitful taste.

My shortlist of fantastic Pixiv artists, whose usernames I remember without aid lol, are ucchiey, zemotion, and DRAGONizm.From e621's meager selection (1% of their galleries):post #315433 post #168809 post #168804

I'm almost certainly biased, because I'm friends with this artist, but I really like this picture.

post #506878

Just, the expression of the creatures and their animatedness (still image, but you know what I mean) stands out to me.

The FavoriteAnalyzer works pretty well. It just found me this:

Some others I'm sharing just because I feel like it (and don't wanna make a triple post). This list will slowly expand.

I'm tempted to create a bathing_another tag for images like the second one. bathing -solo doesn't always work.

You need to improve your art further than what it is currently, and I also highly recommend you scan your art instead of using a camera for it.

I was about to delete your latest upload, but ratte got there first. Traditional media needs to be digitized with high quality and usually this means using scanner.

Also my phone has 12 MP camera and I know it's far from acceptable for using to digitize physical medium, especially artwork.

I'm gonna feel selfish for bringing this up, but any of my commissions from Harshai.

Not (just) because I want people to look at them some more, but to point that god DAMN Harshai is a talented artist.

Case in point.

Yes, you didn't break any rules by uploading your own artwork. But once an admin has deemed your works to be "not good enough" and deleted them, it's not a smart move to try and post the same content again.

The best you can do now is post elsewhere (like FA or DA where quality standards are more lenient) and improve in your art style.

Now stop trying to derail this thread from its intended purpose. If you have further grievances of how the site works, you are free to contact any of the admins directly.

What do you think you're gonna accomplish by going off and doing this?

Everything you need to know is in the wiki, including the rules we agreed to follow apon when making an account. It's not "their own", it's "our".

i suggest you read the book "How to Win Friends and Influence People," for i barely know you and you are already doing neither.
