>got 4000 likes on my recent art
>nobody DMd me for a comm
what the fuck I even pinned my comm sheet and tweeted "Comms are open! Please DM if you're interested!" FOUR TIMES since 1st June. And my prices start at fuckin $20 for lineart and $70 for a full color. And I NEVER posted retard meme pics, my media is full of just my art.

What did I do wrong?

I'll comm ya. How much? Can I see an example so I know what to expect?

good, now you understand that 'like' is just a funny dopamine point for doomscrolling normgroids and they dont give a single shit about detail or anything except to see some colors in their monotonous timeline

But what about Gabe’s 10k updoots???

Thats the issue I think. People often commission because they like the artist itself, not just the art. This days you need the human factor, otherwise you might as well ask an AI to shit a drawing for you, its basically the same process but for free. Have a personality, Ive noticed that most NSFW people have a cringe persona they use as a marketing ploy, complete with godawful cringe borderline ERP text whenever they release a piece.

This but I get zero likes.

It's all bots
Stop trusting numbers

That's really how it is
I got a full 10k likes and not one com until like 3 months after. Really disillusioned me and just focused on becoming better.
Don't look at anything else but your own improvement

Draw porn if you wanted numbers

Bro, it's a recession who the fuck has money for comms of their ocs? Draw furry art I'd you want comms. I'm like 10x better then you and I only get 1 to 2 comms a month.

Other guy is right that it is also a personality thing, selling comms just doesn't make sense for either party financialy speaking unless the person wants to support YOU and not just the art.

Been drawing longer than 4chan has been a thing and haven't gotten 4000 likes in total, yet commission bots pester me all the time.

in a sea of anime you cant stand out. why comission yoi if not someone cheaper and better?
