dA is special because it allows you all sorts of opprotunities, it's true. you can't look at it in a manner whereas nobody cares about your art so it's pointless, that's actually probably the worst standpoint you can have as an artist. what should you do about it?? take advantage. talk to your friends. use the opprotunities given there (as blind as some may be to them) to improve and become better. you have to be patient, especially if one of your main priorities is to get attention. though i may warn you, that is not a healthy stance on the situation. it may seem that nobody cares now, but hey, even some of the best artists are like that.

celine was unnoticed on dA at one point. yuumei was unnoticed on dA at one point. it doesn't come quickly. improvement takes time, and that's an action you need to take in order to get what you want out of the site, guys.

and no, you cannot repost art. that is against the rules of the site.

it takes time and persistence. you've got to keep that in mind when you're an artist on dA.
