I don't know how some people are really popular on this site and some (like me) are barely noticed? Not saying that I think I ought to be getting DD's every other day and have a million page views, but honestly, how do people get themselves out there?

I can tell you from my experience:

I have two accounts. DBLG and JUST85. I used to upload pictures and graphic design works to DBLG account. This account was barely noticed, I used to receive only a couple favs for my works. One day a more famous artist spotted my picture and faved it (I guess that was because I made a comment on his work). After some time it received a couple more favs and was suggested and approved as a DD. When it became a DD favs started coming and now that picture has 1458 :+fav: and counting. Of course some of my other works were noticed also and gained dozens of :+fav:.

I have decided to have two accounts, because I don't want to mix pictures with graphic design. My other account is not popular, the most faved devianation has ~120 :+fav:. I bet that if I uploaded it to DBLG it would have much more, because more people watch me.

My personal opinion is that one has to upload the content here constantly, comment on other artists work from time to time, try to improve the quality of the artworks and the success will slowly come. Even if you are not making kawaii drawings or cute bunnies there is a niche for everyone if the artworks are worth it :)

Good luck :)
