I'm unfortunately probably going to have to use FA again at some point.
I get next to zero exposure on Weasyl and honestly I just really need to make a name for myself and sell enough to want to keep trying.
I didn't want to be one of the artists crawling back but I don't really have a choice it seems.
You can always do what a lotta folks do and advertise your commissions on FA but just post thumbnails instead of full images, and then link to Weasyl for the fullview
Dunno how successful that'd be for getting people to move but 'eyy, worth a shot. As far as recognition and gettin' interest tho' all you can do is post a lot of stuff. Getcha name out there. Use FurBid/FurBuy n' stuff to advertise, too, I used to get a few commission bites from there back in the day. And forums, too. Used to get lots of portrait commissions off Furcadia
