Geo and Glowing - I ALMOST agree. Viewing numbers measure how POPULAR your work is, i.e. how much attention it captures. Most pic-makers want their stuff to be seen, it's just that some do not feel like making the kind of stuff that's LIKELY to be seen by very many ;o) Substitute "to be sold" for "to be seen", and you have the pro artist's dilemma. Pro critics are a great help here, as they are able to convince the (paying) audience that something that looks like a used brush wiping rag is sophisticated art, even if lesser beings might still think it looks like a brush wiping rag ;o) Of course, that won't work with experienced picture connaiseurs like all of us on this website ;o) So, I'd say Geo has the best advice for all : IF you're after popularity/viewings, capture them with eye candy or a captivating story. A captivating story told with lots of eye candy would probably be THE way to shoot viewings through the roof. Personally, I love Boris/Frazetta-style images, but I also love drawing old people's faces, because they are an entire story in themselves - just shows I've got lots to learn about worthwhile picture-making ;o)
