I feel it’s kinda like an mini advertisement for the own account. If someone’s profile pic has a cool style I more likely click on it. But saying that.. I should definitely update my own. I have had the same for 5 years?! 
•
Absolutely not XD it’s more desaturated than desaturated, it’s just plain grayscale and it just... isn’t the vibe my other art gives off (I hope)
•
kinda i just hope it becomes better over time thats why i came here to see my art improve and watch other people's beautiful art
•
Mine does I think?
It is
Benson and prolly everyone who is in the Mcyt/DreamSMP community rn knows who that is. And I mostly draw Mcyt and DreamSMP :D
And I guess the colors also kinda show that I experiment with colors a lot rn

I just used this screencap of mammon bc I thought it was cute, plus it matches the bg of my profile so I haven't really bothered changing it since I started, my pfp on insta is now my art tho so I guess my ig one does?
•
Nah..mine is just my dnd character in one of those drawing prompt square thingies (you know, where they say like 'character b4' and then you draw that) because it looked cute eheh
•
Nope. XD but I think people think that way and that would mean I would draw cute little funny mini things.. But I really don't. This is just the style I use to draw my stupid self.
•
My profile pic is just a crop of a pride month drawing I did, I'm not even lgbt+ myself but I vibe with the rainbow scarf. So I'd say it sorta reflects my art? Although there's less gay stuff on my profile than the pfp would imply. (I have a lot of queer characters, their art just isn't focused on them being queer since that isn't the point of their character.) I'm also less of a furry than the pfp would imply, but that's... debatable.
•
Mine does because it is my art and I guess it is a pretty good example of my style - I also chose it because it's a self portrait. I think having it be a representation of your art is helpful, so that people can see it in comment sections etc and might check out your profile - but it's up to you.
•
Sorta, i thought it'd be fitting to put Rosaria since she is my main OC. Also i like how I drew her face and i draw a lot of demon characters in general
•
I just put Snufkin bc he’s one of my fav characters ever and I just haven’t changed it.. don’t know if I will
•
Kinda, I did it in like 30 minutes bcuz I dyed my hair. It's supposed to rep me but it's in my style so I guess?
•
My profile picts used to represent the art I did, but because I tend to not do just one thing it‘s now me/my mascot I created
•
Lol hell no, it’s whatever I kinda like , I don’t feel like my art would make a good icon
•
Yeah it's shows a part of a drawing in my main artstyle with my favorite kind of colour group (neon) 
•
Usually on Instagram I pay attention to people's profile pics in comment sections to see what kind of art they do (if they are an artist) so I'll check out their profile if the profile pic looks nice but I'll leave if the art doesn't match
•
i mainly draw in drab or monochrome color schemes and constantly seem bored out of my skin.
close enough id say.

Mine doesn't, it's just a chibi of myself. But using your usual art can help you get more followers.
•
Pretty sure, it's my own art, I draw animals from time to time and many creatures, and they a character that pretty much is the face of my account 
•
kinda yeah. it’s literally my own art so it more or less represents the kind of art i do (although in context it’s from my celebration piece from when i hit 100 followers)
•
•
Yeah, pretty much.
Furries? Check.
Bright colors? Check.
Cartoony style? Check.
My own art? Check.
The perfect pfp for a weirdo like me!

For me, it does... Pixel artists aren't easy to find on most platforms normally without having to search for pixel art regularly so I use my profile pic to reflect that I do pixel art
•
no, I just have multiple cat photos on hand at any given moment and I use the ones I like the most as my profile picture
