Lamentations of the Self-Promotion challenged

Fri Jan 19, 2007, 9:48 PM
Have you ever submitted a piece of art that you were really proud of and were sure it was going to get commented and even favorited, and then... Well, nothing happens? It seems like my last bunch of deviations turned out that way.

I consider myself at least a competent artist, no one that would get paid for their work, but I have the ability to draw recognizably. I even think my works compare favorably to works of other artists that get commented and noticed, and yet... Zero views.

I don't really like posting about my work in the forums, I feel like I open myself up to too much criticism. I can handle constructive criticism, but I really don't want to point at something and say "This is good!" People on the intar-wubs are without mercy.

And yet remains the problem... How can I get people to see my work?

Hi, sorry to bring this up but I have the same flash problem as you had some time ago. Only thing is, you got it solved, but I don't! Hehe, no really I'm seriously stuck on this thing and I hope you can help me. It's about this thread you started.

I also want to resize a created movieclip because it contains the background image of my site but as said, I'm experiencing the same problem as you did. Can you post or send me the missing piece of code, I don't know how to do it like you did.

You can contact me on steemansnick@gmail.com

Many thanks in advance!
