I completely understand what you mean and just know your not alone. When I write stories, I publish them expecting people to comment on them to just get silence. Comments really do motivate us even if it's basic

Yeah. I think people underestimate much a simple "This is cool!" or something helps us creators.

I will remember you said this going forward, keep up the great art - From an often silent lurker 🤣

I'll definitely make steps there! I tend to be rather introverted, and am also perpetually paranoid of annoying people. If you're wanting comments, you'll get comments!

I've been posting my commissions to my BlueSky account lately, and I noticed you've never posted anything there. Might be worth giving it a try see if you get some engagement. Best part is that you don't have to create new art there, just post your older work and see how much engagement it generates.

I actually do have a bsky for Terra Cruxis stuff!

Show me!

terracruxis.bsky.social

Oh I thought you were howlart.bsky.social

You know you can now add your BlueSky account to your contact info here on FA?

I have that too but I dont post there yet. And yeah I still need to update lmao.

I tend to hold off if the first thing on my mind is something porn-brained, I feel like it must get tiring, it's good to know where ya stand on it!

You have such amazing artwork and I dont know why people dont tell you enough about it

I want to see more artworks from you for a long time

I know what you are talking about. Sometimes in my experience, I have a lot of ideas to create, but in the end, I can make just one at time, at a snail´s pace. In that case, I just think about what I´m doing actually, and I think if I need to continue, or take my time to think my next steps.

In the other hand, I like your art and characters, and I wanna see more of them. So, take it easy, and when you feel comfortable, keep it up.

I usually don't comment on stuff just because of social anxiety being really bad. But I do check out and appreciate all the art you put out

Acknowledgement is more powerful than most people think.

Well i'm not a motivator but there's no need to rush, sister. just take your time and maybe you can post on other sites besides furry sites ;)

The burning need for validation is a pain, I wish it were easier for us to soothe it. Human brains, man.

You’re already better than all of us malignant daydreamers who do nothing. Not just the fun subject matter, but the worlds you make are always worth indulging in. I value all the different flavors of eccentric furry kink worlds that this fandom comes up with, no iteration of it is expendible.

Meeee toooooooooo, I do find that furaffinity gets like 80% less engagement than other sites though. Might be too saturated as a site, any time I post to any other platform thats not twitter its like 4x better than here.

Iget even less interactions on Twitter and Bsky =<
