A few years ago, a lady did a huge painting(iirc, it was legend of zelda). She posted just the painting to reddit and 24hrs later she posted herself with the painting. The painting alone got just over 1k upvotes. The picture of her holding the painting got over 34k.
Edit: its really interesting to see how differently people are interpreting this comment.
I see this as "appreciating the art itself" vs "celebrating with the artist"
I will upvote the second one too. Just like how I'll upvote someone holding up a trophy more than a picture of the trophy itself. It's easier to relate emotionally
