I don't get how Driftogen gets the 475 views and likes when All-Father gets nothing.

Gabriel took me longer than Driftogen, it took time to sketch and find a fitting style that i liked, who to base it on, which by the way, it's fucking pokemon and deltarune.

AND Gabriel is literally one of the greatest characters i've ever drawn in like, forever.

I don't get what got Driftogen's design to his peak in that post.

But Gabriel deserved more in my opinion, it took me longer than Drift, all i did for Drift was that Hatter helped me with designing it (he gave me a concept i asked him for and i tweaked a few things).
All-Father took me time.

It was either the fucking mannequin, or a literal war god.

i got people IRL to vote for which design stayed.

The one i made was.

It took me effort to design a lore and a design for a character like this that it just hurts my soul that Gabriel didn't get the views i expected from his original Wip.

The wip reached a lot of views.

Which got me excited for when the final result would come out.

and then BOOM, nothing.

Did i do something wrong? did i use the wrong communities?

I don't even know what happened.

My point is, it hurts that when i put effort on something i drew and took time for, i show an sneak peak, and it performs great, but when it releases, the post with the final result, it gets nothing.

I know it's stupid ranting about likes, but i just feel that my effort was wasted on nothing.

Same for Itchimani (but again, Itchi is quite recent. so idk on that point...)
