Feet Pic of the Week + Apologies
🕑 Added 2022-10-17 03:00:02 +0000 UTCTL:DR - Feet Pic for everyone this week, stopping the Genshin story but will finish all renders for the month.
Hi everyone,
I know this is a bit of weird post to announce this in, but I just wanted to let you guys know ahead of time. I'll finish the Genshin Impact renders but will be stopping the story.
I've had a lot of fun working on the Genshin Impact renders and I honestly believe it has been some of my best work yet. However, the results have been anything but positive on the outside platforms.
My view-count on the Genshin renders have been some of my lowest yet on Deviantart, ironically even lower than when I first started posting. As well as my Twitter getting shadowbanned (again) during the middle of a themed month.
Whilst I didn't expect the posts to blow up or anything, I certainly would never have expected it to be some of my worst performing works yet. Normally I would just roll with the punches (you win some and you lose some, right?) but I'm already halfway through the month and all but one (Amber) didn't get censored by the algorithm.
I've tried shuffling my posting times, using different tags and keywords, and even sharing the posts in various groups and Discords; but to absolutely no avail as my posts struggle to reach even 2k views after 24 hrs. In a nutshell, it means I'm not getting seen by anyone except my existing on watchers/followers on platforms.
With all this in mind, it's been extremely hard to find the motivation to continue with this set. I've just put so much time and effort into working with these fantastic character models and it's extremely disheartening seeing how poorly it's performing.
Nonetheless though, if there's anything I hate more than failing like this; it's leaving work half-finished. So I'll still complete the renders for characters I've had in mind (currently have 20/31 done) and see the theme month to the end. I just can't find the drive in me to continue writing down the accompanying story.
If anyone is interested though, I suppose I can post a summary of how I intended the story to go at the end of the month.
Thanks again everyone and I sincerely apologise for this. Wishing you all a great rest of the week.

Wow that sucks to hear :( had no idea something as popular as genshin content would be shafted by algorithms. I'm here for it though! Would love to read the summary if you eventually share
