Need advice. Getting views but no detailed comments, AND how do you best protect your art?

Hello everyone! I have two questions I’d love to get your thoughts on.

​First, about engagement. I've been posting my artwork (traditional sketches and pixel art) recently. While the posts get some views and a few comments, the actual feedback is very minimal. I usually spend around 4 hours on a piece, and I'm really looking for people to point out obvious flaws or areas to improve. Is this lack of detailed critique normal here? How can I format my posts to encourage more constructive feedback?

​Second, about protection. As I start posting more, I'm wondering how you all protect your work. This especially applies to pixel art, which feels very easy for someone to steal, recolor, or copy. Do you use visible watermarks? Hidden signatures? Do you upload at specific resolutions?

​I'd love to hear your strategies for keeping your art safe and getting better feedback. Thanks in advance!

​(P.S. Please excuse any mistakes, my English isn't very good so I used a translator for this post).

Looking for critique! Working on anatomy and composition. What can I improve here?

Hey everyone! I did this sketch recently and I'm looking for some honest feedback. I was trying to focus on anatomy, figure interaction, and the overall tension in the scene. Are there any glaring mistakes with the proportions or perspective? I feel like I've stared at it for too long. How can I make the poses look more natural or dynamic? Any tips on foreshortening or line weight would also be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Looking for feedback on my pixel art. What do you think?

Hi everyone, I recently finished this piece. I’m looking for some constructive criticism on my technique. Specifically, are there any issues with the shading or the overall composition that jump out at you? I'm hoping to improve, so any advice is welcome. Thanks!
