Follow for Follow? upvote for upvote? not so sure...
I was thinking about this annoying thing that is happening, at least to me. I try to promote my posts, just the ones i put lot of time in, not everyone. The thing that i find annoying is that i get so many people replying upvoted ando followed, please do the same. if their posts are good im happy to upvote an i want to follow... But the sad truth is that most of them are just crap and i don't want to support steemit becoming a full of shit social media.
Of course I want followers, thousens of followers, i want to get a lot of upvotes when i spend hours on a post! please upvote me and follow me!!! but if you expect me to do the same know that im gonna do it if i think your posts have something good...
So, i was thinking about this and how to do a post about it that is not deadly boring and my first thought was "I need at least an image".
After a few minutes brainstorming by myself i started photoshopping one of my drawing and i got to that first image.
Here im gonna share the steps without any explanation. just the images.
original
separated from the background
new background generated
Some shadowing and adding a little depth
Shades and text (the final one)
This took me about 40 minutes... if someone like something similar with some drawing i will be happy to do it for a few steem :P
NOW UPVOTE ME AND FOLLOW ME!!!!! hahahhah just kidding, but not...
have a nice day!
Lucian
**** ALL TEXT AND IMAGES ARE ORIGINAL ****
I see that messages a lot, it has gotten to a point they are becoming irritating. I can't just follow everybody and dig through a lot of junks before I see any real content on my feed.
And upvote for upvote? really? we might as well negotiate the worth of upvotes we are exchanging.
This kind of post is important so a lot of newcomers don't think it is the right thing to do or a norm here.
And that is a wonderful work of art...
Thanks! 🙃
I think people doing upvote for upvote are not gonna get to much reword here... the may get 100 0.01 upvotes
Exactly...I rather spend the time and effort spent on doing that on producing good comments and posts that will likely get me a better upvotes without asking.
That's a great image, @lavidaesunviaje! Good job! Anyway, I try to just ignore all the comments from people who want follow4follow or to trade upvotes. They are generally not even worth checking out. My opinion is that if they didn't bother to write a real comment, why would I spend my time to check out their content? I'm much more inclined to upvote and follow users who make good comments and who do not beg for it.
You get it bro!
i do the same... like now... i'm gonna check your posts just because you really put at least a little brain and time on this comment... :)
I really dig the art. I'd give you a follow, but I'm trying to keep my feed to a minimum. This is largely because I typically write about geological topics. I'm trying to get another account started for more leisure. I'll be sure to give you a follow then. :)
i just checked your posts and saw your doing pretty well!!! congrats!
i'm gonna follow you also because i think your posting quality and interesting stuff.
thinking about what i'm gonna post next... i wish i had a main subject for my blog :/
@lavidaesunviaje Lucian, I don't know if you remember me. We met at Del Lago when I was volunteering. You left and I moved into your room behind the bar! It's nice to see you on Steemit. I hope you've been doing well. Big love. Sarah 💛
Yes! of course I remember you!
yoga-cat video!
how are you doing? where are you at?
you know Bryan, the hostel owner, hes who introduced me on steemit... his username is " @buttcoins "
i'm here at the hostel again managing until may :)
im gonna check your posts and follow you!
good to find you
I'm doing well! I'm back in Australia for the moment but I will be travelling again this year. I just followed Bryan, so great to see him on the platform too! How are you enjoying Del Lago? One day I'll go back to that place!
Ha ha this made me laugh... for that you get an upvote, but not a follow! Oh wait, I'm already following you so that's cool ;-)
hahha! thanks bro!
I feel im starting to have my good "friends" circle here... :)
is not easy to find good posters to follow and chat with...
What I believe if you provide value in your posts, you will get more followers and upvote eventually. It might take time. We are all here for the long term.
Yeah in the beginning it feels like that’s all there is.
..I’m not sure why I barely encounter it anymore. Stick it out and find users you like!
Thanks! I’m working on that! I loved your “revive dead posts” post, are you doing that often?
Upvoted and Followed - Now follow me right back ;D hehehee
Thanks! I’ll check yours! :)
:) I was just joking! I haven't posted anything recently but will keep a look out for more stuff from you.
I knew you were joking but I think I found something interesting in your old post because I’m following you! 🙂
Alright I'll just press the unfollow button 😛 JK
See you can do cool stuff with your own drawings 😁
yep... i worked 2 years on tv advertisement doing after effects, video edition, and some photoshop and illustrator... :)
Good post, I am a photographer, it passes for my blog and sees my content, I hope that it should be of your taste :D greetings
Thanks! I’ll check yours! :)
