Super Pro Tip for all Weasyl Artists by chirasul

If you crop the submission icon down to just the character's head or something, I'm just going to assume that the submission is just an icon and

  • ** I won't click on it!!**

Quit cropping your submission icons!

  • If you're gonna use a cropped icon, throw some text on that icon that tells me why (like some sort of content warning or something).
  • Otherwise you're just shooting yourself in the foot
  • because I want to see what I'm clicking on before I click on it
  • because why else would I want to click on it?
  • I follow tons of artists and I don't look at every submission
  • Cropping the icon takes away reasons for me to click on that submission
  • Just show me the art and I'll want to look at that art even bigger!!
  • Trust me!!
  • Keep up the good work!!

OK that's all. Thanks for putting up my my weasyl rant! I love you!

    I can understand wanting to tempt people by offering more if they actually click on the thumbnail. But, I agree. Too many times I've clicked on a cropped thumb only cringe from what the whole piece was or misled completely. Most of the time I won't bother to click on cropped thumbs anymore.

    For a while, this was one of the main reasons people didn't like the site, lol. (That and the fact that they were all square) but since they made it opt-in instead of opt-out, I have had far fewer issues with it.

    I have been complaining about this for more than a decade.
