Quote - Sarte...as far as I'm concerned, we ALL want views on our images. If folks really didn't care, they wouldn't bother posting here
Some post here because it's web space and they may not have any other means to put their art on the net. I for one don't care how many "hits" I get. I do art to please me and only me. If in the end someone looks at it and it makes them happy, that's all that matters to me. I'd rather have one person look at something I've made and go away feeling good, than have 1000 people click, glance and leave. Do your art for your own eyes and happiness. Stop worrying about views and hits. Make yourself happy and in the end the rest will just happen. As for using breasts and nudity to generate views, all I have to say to that is from the tone and content of your posts, you sound very young. Sounds like you have a great deal to learn not only about art, but about women and respecting them too. Start by putting up some thumbnails to your pictures. For some reason some people have an aversion to clicking a plain link in a gallery even though it will lead them to the same place as a thumbnail will. Again, make art to make yourself happy. Forget about the views because frankly they just don't matter.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
