Soooo, before I deleted over half my gallerie about 6 months ago, I've finally earned enough views on some of my pieces again thaaaaat:
One of my Deviations Has Finally Hit 100 Faves!


With Every Lonely Tear

...and a couple others are getting close, which makes me feel mildly happy even though most good artist on here have up to THOUSANDS of favorites on a single devi within a few days.

But hey, I take the same things as I can get them.
...and am beginning to wish I hadn't deleted the two pieces of art awhile ago that had quickly risen in popularity. They would've hit the 100 mark long ago, considering they're not too far from it now and I only JUST re-submitted them.

But let me make one thing clear.
I'm not all about pageviews, favourites, comments, blahblahblah.
They have no real "meaning" to me.
They don't tell me whether or not my art is good or bad, inspirational or not, makes a statement or doesn't. All those things tell me is if it's "popular" or not. And, popularity is the least of my concerns or desires.

It simply just put a smile on my face to see that at least ONE piece of my artwork moved enough people to click that fave button because it spoke to them. And THAT'S what makes me smile.

So thank you to you all.
