How to get your art more noticeable?

Hi!
So I've been struggling with interacting with the community and getting my art to be noticed more??
I'm not sure if it's that my art just isn't attractive/interesting or if it's just plain "bad"
I've always had trouble with starting conversations with others or even commenting on other's art.
Anxiety is a bitch, ya know?
So even just posting this thread is making me nervous...
I just want to make more friends here in the community and be more social and get more feedback on my artwork.
I've been doing both SFW and NSFW art.
Here's one of my pieces just for an example!

That's my character Hemi, she's a part of an original species called Nifae (created my me)
So. What do I do??????
If you just feel like talking to me for fun and want to befriend me, I'm more active on my regular FA of the same name!​

peek-a-boo!!! I see you!
your art is adorable!! if you want to get noticed, be active. Go and talk to others in the community...join forums like this (good job you already did that) and share your art! maybe do raffles or something...art trades. Fan art is always a cool way to get noticed. Be supportive to others that share your passion and overall just be yourself and do your art because its your passion...if you focus solely on getting noticed, you'll lose sight of why you draw in the first place (or do any other art). Keep at it and have fun and eventually you'll get more followers. And always remember to be humble and be thankful for the ones you have now!
That's pretty much it! there is no said recipe for success...it just pops up randomly.

Oh thank you!! I'll try to try to be more active with others! It's just I feel that I might bother people and I may be boring?? Idk I guess it's just the anxiety holding me back on that aspect.

anxiety will do that! as will insecurity...i feel that way too sometimes...but i'll leave you this from an anime i loved watching called fruits basket (its not word for word, but the concept is the same)
Everyone is a rice ball with their own special ingredient...but some people can't see their special ingredient because its on their back...out of reach..and sometimes it will make you feel sad because you'll think "i don't have a special ingredient"...but that's a lie...im here to tell you that you have a special ingredient on your back and its marvelous and spectacular!!
you keep it up!! do not depend on the validation from the amount of followers you have to dictate your worth..your art is great and its even greater if you enjoy creating it!
