You are supposed to bring your own customers here; read the marketing section on some tips and pointers. Just uploading your work to this site and waiting for a sale is not how it works (although it does happen).

FAA etiquette dictates that any comments left on an artwork must be positive. If you want more specific, potentially not so nice feedback you need to ask for a critique.

I have something nice to say about this. Like it a lot, and I am sure it would sell if you could get it in front of the right buyer.

thank you very much Dean, very appreciated. I did not know about this so thank you!!!

Aside from marketing you will know yourself if your work is good enough just look at your competition and make a judgement. Dean has just added in Discussions a frank and telling post "Elephant In The Room - Maybe Your Art Just Isn't That Good."

Competition is stiff you are up against many here and more on the internet. Like Austin Kleon says in his best selling book, 'Show Your Work,' "They (your market) will show up when you are good enough" provided they can find you, having a presence on the internet like a blog is primary in addition to being really good at what you do.

For some it will take years, others a lifetime and most never.

you have to help yourself. we are trying to sell art as well, supporting someone in the forum is one thing, but outside your on your own. all the things you just said won't help you to sell anything.


this one has glare - a spelling mistake in the tags - garzing. turn the loupe on, people like seeing detail and it seems soft to me.

your bio should say it in the 1st person. as a third person, the grammar isn't correct. i'd replace the avatar with something people will notice and remember.

selling isn't easy. you have to either create work that everyone likes. create work that certain people like, or create work that you like. however you need to find people who will like those things. while you have themes, what i see is a lot of random images with no specific theme or style. i couldn't point my finger and say - i know who's work that is.

i can't help you any. and if your not selling anything, how is your help going to help me?

if your just sitting and waiting for a sale, you have a very long wait.
