Glad you soon found yourself here on Hive after starting on Steem.
Hope you don't get burned out. I'm noting your posts are not yet receiving much attention, and I hope that soon changes.
May I offer a few tips to help your rewards grow? I think your art deserves a lot more credit.
My first tip is keep posting every once in a while for a month until you get at least one big happy upvote from a whale. They always show up eventually.
After that, decide if this is a good place to continue. I think it is always motivating to see the bigger rewards flying in, and once you get a few good posts, you'll get more followers, and more small rewards on even the posts the whales miss out on.
Another tip. If you can, be sure to include images of your earlier stages for creating the final art illustrations or sketches. Many art curators here will only upvote when the post author shows evidence that they were the ones who made the final design. Other people don't care, and will upvote anything interesting they enjoy.
Lastly, interacting with folks in comments, and by visiting other people's posts is where the magic of the blockchain occurs. Besides making new connections who will value your interactions by upvoting your content, you'll create networks with amazing new friends who will enrich you with friendships beyond what you may already have. This is actually my favorite thing about the blockchain, but I think the Hive rewards are pretty sweet too. I've been at this for about three years, and it is always interesting to discover new things.
I really like curating artists who share original anime art, so I'm adding you to my list of people to follow.
