Maybe it is silly to talk about it. But people, I do not understand it!

I have long noticed that often really good, beautiful, hard work goes almost unnoticed. And some small stuff gaining 1000 faves  and more... Yes, it can be cute and funny. But this is not comparable to serious works.

I made a selection of the most egregious cases.

Good works:
Glow in the dark creature by hontor  Cat-dragon Izic by hontor Warm childhood by hontor Owner of the Black Forest by hontor Fight with lionar by hontor Guardian of flowers by hontor Llaumer by hontor Barlowes Inferno I by hontor Yawning beast I by hontor Red Ruffed Lemur I by hontor Human and Lion by hontor Wolf and young deer by hontor Young frato I by hontor

Small stuff:
Tiny white Totoro by hontor Cyndaquil Quilava Typhlosion by hontor Little Water Spirit by hontor Red Jackalope by hontor Dragonwolf by hontor Sun bird comission by hontor Gold deer by hontor Snow dragon by hontor Winter Wolf totem by hontor Comission white magic fox by hontor   Bulbasaur figurine by hontor Little Phoenix by hontor Deer totem by hontor Dark Rat by hontor El Wind by hontor snails by hontor

WTF?!!!

Quite apart from the social effects that people have mentioned, I think a lot of your more detailed work suffers from the limits of photography. For example, the cat-dragon, the second good piece, has amazing detail, but only the detail on the head and tail can be clearly seen. The center is just a blur. On the other hand, for your simpler works, the photograph shows all of the detail at once, precisely because there's not as much of it.
