Well, I think you're on the right track. Adding people's deviations into your favorites helps get attention, if only long enough for them to thank you for the aforementioned fave. Leaving thoughtful, evocative comments can also help you get noticed. Practicing and honing your artistic skill can help, but it isn't necessarily integral. But the most important thing to remember is that it isn't a popularity contest. DeviantArt, in my humble opinion, is simply a free gallery where one can showcase their artwork and get critiqued and encouraged by like-minded artists. I'm not really popular, but I still enjoy the comments I get as well as the ability for people as far away (from me, at least) as the UK to see my little scribblings. So maybe I don't have a hundred people watching me, and I don't get 5+ pages of comments every time I upload a deviation. I still appreciate how DeviantArt has helped me allow more than just my small group of friends to enjoy my drawings. Just don't get discouraged if you don't get a thousands pageviews a day.

Thanks! Thats really nice of you to say
