Feels weird but wanna ask anyway.
 
What do you do when a thing you draw doesn’t get the attention you think it deserved?

Disappointing as that is, it happens.
 
It could be any number of things that cause an image to get an underwhelming reaction.  
Maybe there’s a flaw you’re just not seeing. Maybe it’s the context that’s to blame. Possibly it’s just been uploaded at a quiet time and it hasn’t been seen enough.
 
Try not to get too upset by this, and try drawing something else.
 
One of my recent ones, (Dragon Maid character ponified), got a negative score at first.  
(It’s since just broken in to positive figures, but just barely).
 
Anyway, I still had another idea from that show, and I’ve drawn it anyway.  

 
Just hope it gets a better reception than my last Dragon Maid pic.

Somewhat Valentine’s Day-Related, I drew Strong Runner and my friend’s OC dating each other. She gives the tightest hugs. ^^’  

 
@Background Pony #5DBE  
I try not to fume about it too much because other factors might be at play. So, I try to focus on something else in the meantime. Maybe come up with ways to make the next images stand out positively and catch people’s eyes.

I don’t think too much about it. Good or bad attention, I’m glad to see when it does get any sort of reaction. And while I do get excited when someone comments, I don’t expect it that often since my art isn’t worthy of comments most of the time.

Same. Tho the last comment I got on any of my stuff was ‘this is GAY’ so I don’t know what I expect.
 
Also nice work, tho I’d argue it’s got too many colors to be true pixel art.

Amount of colors doesn’t really matter unless you’re trying to emulate limitations or if you’re just using them to create elaborate gradients or heavy anti-aliasing, but it is good to have a consistent palette and not really stray too far unless necessary.
 
@Binkyt11  
I’m not sure myself what the distinction between pixel art that was created like a normal picture but with a pixel brush and normal pixel art should be, but this looks pretty good. I would advise sticking to one pixel size and not mixing them like you did with the eyes, though.
 
@Background Pony #5DBE  
It sucks when that happens, but there’s not really much you can do about it, I guess. I made this pic a while back, and I thought I did pretty good for a style I don’t really do. It didn’t do terribly, at least, just got an okay score.

If I were looking to get critique on something could I upload it to the site and crosslink a WIP it here, or is there another specific thread where I would do that, or would it be better for me to make my own thread to do that?

@Badumsquish  
Alright, good to hear.
 
So I wanted to draw Fluttershy getting caught out in the rain on her way back to her cottage, so I threw together this small little mock-up just to see how to put it together before I scaled it up and drew it out properly.
 

 
As it stands now anybody here have any suggestions, criticisms, critiques, or comments? The only thing that stands out to me right now is the back right leg, I’m thinking maybe I should shift that a bit to give her a bit of a wider stance. Other than that though I would love to hear what you guys have to say before I take this further.
 
What do you guys think?

Curious. On DeviantArt I remember conversations about optimal upload times. I wonder if there is a sweet hour to upload. Can you upload during rush our and get more views and possibly more clicks? Or just have your art swept aside in the tide of everyone uploading at once.
 
Maybe upload during down time so your pic stays on the front page longer? But then everyone is asleep so still nobody will see it. Lol.
