1. If I have something unique or original to say that has not been said several times before if the submission has a lot of short or single word comments on it already like "Cute!" or "Nice chibi bunny". Also, if I like the submission enough to favorite it I may take a moment or two to tell the artist why I +Fav.
2. If the submission is something that does not attract comments like adoptable's for sale, YCH auctions, streaming now ads, or WIP's for the buyers approval. those sort of things seam self-explanatory to not comment on.
3. Actually, no. When I +Fav something I want to read the comments and see what other's are saying about it. Sometimes unique or funny comments are the highlight of my time online for the day.
4. Yes.
5. Nope.
6. Assumptions make an ass out of you or me. So, I do my best to not assume much about an artist - who they are, what inspires them to art no matter what their medium is, or what goes on in their business or personal life unless the artist volunteers this information on a submission, journal, or in a stream.
7. Not at this time.
8. If I used this as a journal would you answer the same questions for me as well? ^^

Thankies for the input :)

I've noticed that being a successful artist is part creativity and part public relations. So far I've been focusing only on my art, and not so much on the more social aspects.

And yes, I would answer these questions for others :)

Yea, I find that as social as I am making the art is only a tiny part of the equation in the business world. Thank you, I look forward to what you have to say.
