EDIT: Thank you everyone saying nice things or apologising, I appreciate your intentions but I'm really not fishing for compliments or guilt, again my intention was NOT that individuals need to comment more or feel bad
EDIT 2 I'm disabling comments on this and the other one!
I appreciate people saying nice things but I was also not fishing for compliments but thank you for the intentions
It's been feeling like I'm posting into a void for awhile now
Not saying in a manipulative or blame sort of way to anyone, maybe FA is just different from some years ago, or maybe my content isn't what people feel like engaging actively with. Which is not that anyone is doing anything wrong, like I said this isn't a manipulation tactic and I don't want to act entitled or guilt anyone into feeling like they have to do anything
Also want to be clear the few people who do comment absolutely make my day, thank you
It can just be pretty disheartening to put stuff out there, art and journals, and not really get much feedback. I draw mostly what I want, so it's fair if no one else fancies it, but then it also doesn't feel much like it's worth putting up
I was sort of hoping that doing Kinktober might be something that did well here, but they're actually doing notably poorer than the usual stuff I post
Am just sort of venting I think, I'm not really sure where I'm going with this. I don't want to make any rash decisions like leaving or saying I'll stop uploading while I'm feeling low
Well anyway sorry for the kinda downer journal and being a bit of a whiner! I'll see how I feel after awhile

Comment posting has been disabled by the journal owner.
heck, i have a hard time even favouriting anything
i think i'm getting better, tho, so maybe i'll try commenting here and there soon
but i don't want to waste anyone's time with one-word responses
but also i don't ever have anything interesting to say
I was really just venting feelings rather than wanting anyone to do anything about it, sorry if it came across blame-y at all
i do kind of feel bad for not commenting, but i'm not saying you're making me feel that way
i really like your artwork though, sorry you've been feeling kinda overlooked recently. i think sometimes there are lulls in activity with some people just because life gets in the way often, but it still is kinda a bummer when favorite online spaces grow quiet. i hope it starts moving again soon!
Thank you for the nice words, and for listening to my complaints, I really appreciate it!
I'm not artistly artistically inclined myself, but I can say in an overview of your art, I enjoy the way you draw your characters, and the use of a muted color scheme. It works together to make a unique look, and it reminds me of the way things look outside as Fall turns to Winter. Doesn't hurt that it's my favorite time of year.
And thank you for the thoughtful words, and for taking the time to read my self centered complaints, I appreciate it a lot
I really love your art, though! So even if I don't reply as often as I want to, please know that it isn't because I don't like a certain piece, it's just my brain berating me for wanting to post the same generic "Nice art!" type stuff, and so it prevents me from commenting at all.
You were one of the very first friends I ever made on this site, and I will always treasure you for that!
I'd never think that's why! I'm honestly not trying to say 'comment more' to anyone, am just venting
I can't believe how long I've known you honestly, thank you for being such a good friend all these years
If you draw, you should still consider posting, even if you slow down with the submission info and just use postybirb or something instead to post to multiple sites so people can still see what you're up to. :>
Hope things don't get you too disheartened - keep up the good work. ^^
