Holy fuck someone is actually paying Shadman $400 a month for

Hi Shadman. Creating and bumping your own threads huh?

>>3007893
Obligatory Shadman thread. I'm as bad as you for replying to this.

Anyway, I haven't been putting out work on a consistent and near-daily basis for remotely as long - Shadmans been active for what, 8 or so years now?

I've been going into periods of inactivity that can last months, you don't build an audience like that.

What would you say the go-to is on engaging with an audience, /ic/? I've noticed on some websites, you'll follow or watch someone and they'll go and personally talk with you and thank you for following them. I've always been afraid to do that, afraid it'll come across as overbearing or unwanted.

Self-respect

Really stop with these damn threads.

Just be active, understand what could garner attention like fan art (actually like what you're drawing, though. People will know when you're just trying to cash in), and be courteous of the attention given to you.
Think of it like this: they don't have to make a comment saying "good work". Some people are just as quiet as you could be. Give them the time to be appreciative of the attention.

Probably don't need to be doing it for every follow, though.

IMO the "thanks for following" sort of message is uncomfortable, especially if it's a direct message. I've gotten it a few times and never liked it. I think it's better to have more open-ended dialogue with your followers - address them in general, invite them to speak to you, be sociable when they do message you, do polls / etc. but don't force them to speak to you because honestly lots of people following you don't want to have a conversation, they want to look at your art.

Probably should've just asked in the question thread instead of bumping another shadman vendetta thread.

So many artists here so jealous on Shad.

How big is the pinup? Also what did he mean by no Ocs?

Bear in mind that every time a Shadman thread is created: a potentially informative and innocent thread gets slaughtered in page 10 deathrow and thrown into the Archive morgue

>>3008308

It's about 5 times more likely that another shadman thread will get slaughtered on page 10.

They're shit, but whoever's making these threads clearly doesn't care. They're here for gossip and drama.

or of course shit like this.

In terms of 'stuff getting knocked off page 10' /ic/ has so much sewage that it doesn't much matter, our useful threads are usually generals which stay above page 3-4.
