Watchers

To Kiriban or not to Kiriban . . .

Here I go, oozing up on 10k pageviews and so I vomited forth another, and hopefully offensive, cartoon to celebrate this auspicious occasion.  Is it mean to pick on the lowest on the nerd food chain?  I suppose it is.  Well at least I didn't add a front flap on the costume so our delusional friend could seed the furry population with greater ease--I'm just not that crass and Lucius is concerned I'll take this theme and run with it.  So restraint is in order.  

Now some deviants like to offer awards (kiribans) for helping them hit key pageview numbers and so I'm sitting here now wondering what my twisted watchers would want if I did the same thing. :iconcookieteaseplz: I'm kind of behind on commissions anyhow.  As in, with some, Bush was still in the White House when I originally gave the nod to someone's idea.  Probably a kiriban on top of that is more than I can handle.  And, again, what would I draw?  And if I did it, why aim for a low number like 10k?  I'm going to hit that in a few years anyhow.  No real challenge there.  But how about 100k?  Doesn't that get the blood flowing?  Gotta think BIG!  100k and I'd probably bust out some oils and do a Rembrandt reproduction or something equally epic.  

But hit and run viewers aren't worth much in the end.  Why go through the trouble of drawing a special piece to someone who doesn't even care enough to add you to their watch column?  Or even put a single drawing in their favorites?  They'd be like cheap lovers who love you and leave you standing there with a used condom and a worrying rash.  No.  That isn't for me.  I appreciate my fellow Lucius lovers and I'm afraid I'd make it a rule that you be on my list to qualify.  

What do you think of rewards for hitting certain numbers?  Have you done it and regretted it?  Or been glad you did?  Or do you think people who do so are the cheap sluts of the art world?  Not that your opinion will change what I ultimately do, but I'm curious.  Maybe I'll offer something, maybe I won't.  I haven't decided.  It largely depends on whether or not I can spare the time--I'm busy as fuck these days.  

So how 'bout it?  What's your view on kiribans?

Let me know!

Hey! :wave:
I'm organizing a Harry Potter Fan Art contest, and :iconellygator: thought you might be interested. You can read the rules in my journal: [link]
I'm also still looking for people who want to contribute prizes. If you could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it! If you're not, that's OK as well, of course. :) Just let me know!

Sure thing! I'm only sorry I'm not a much more popular artist here (for even more eyeballs) and I'm still debating on whether to keep the feature thing as a module or as a footer in my journal.

Thanks! Lucius wanted to take part in the 'new DA icon' parody craze. Since the end of the war, he's become really goofy.
