Hello, guys!

There's one thing that has been lately driving me into frustration: The carelessness of people towards my non-furry related drawing.

More than a half year ago I deleted my old Twitter account and created a new one. At the beginning all my posts were female anthro characters and from there on I started building an audience. Though at some point it just became boring for me to only draw furry girls, so I tried drawing humanoids and male characters. Soon I had noticed that my other art didn't get as much attention as my furry one.

I have more than 300 followers on Twitter and I've made a lot of progress in my artistic skills and yet when I post a drawing of a humanoid character, almost noone out of my followers seems to care, only one or two... kinda absurd, isn't it?

The amount of likes I get on my posts actually doesn't matter to me anymore, but what bothers me however is the fact that my non-anthro drawings get a view to like ratio that's totally off while my furry art gets a decent view to like ratio.

Don't my followers understand that I can have other interests too and just want to expand my horizons? And more import, by drawing different things you are going to learn and improve. It's actually really helpful.

I would really like to know why my audience isn't open for the other characters I draw. it kinda hurts seeing that.

...but when I draw a humanoid character with an anthro one it gets surprisingly desired by my followers... Any explanation for that?

Some people simply don't like human/humanoid only art, for whatever reason.

Maybe they just don't find human faces as appealing or interesting as cute animal faces, or human faces reminds people of the reality they're trying to escape from, who knows.

I don’t think it’s absurd. Your furry art attracted a furry audience, they follow you for the furry art and find non-anthro content uninteresting. This is amplified by the algorithm showing your art to even more furries.

I checked your posts and you’re really good at both anthro AND humanoid art, keep it up and your non-anthro audience might grow big enough to break free of twitter’s “furry bubble”

More realistically: Create two accounts.

Your followers' likes reflect their interests, not their opinion on your interests. Your followers aren't insulting you by not leaving a "like" on everything you draw, they're just telling the algorithm what they want to see more of, and if they followed you for furry art, that's probably what they personally want to see.

Exactly. Lets not beat around the bush, furry art can be... niche. If you want to cultivate a bigger following among both furries and non-furries, it would make sense to keep the two kinds of art separate, for the same reason some people run separate SFW and NSFW accounts: so that people who are interested in one but not the other can follow what they want.
