Not often do things get posted here though. ;~;

because when I do post no one pays attention to it!

Don't you draw stuff because you like it? :<

when it comes to commissions? no, I draw to make money
when it comes to regular art? yes, I draw stuff because I like it. but part of the process for me has always been getting other people's opinions on my work. I don't know why but when I post and get no feedback it just feels like I did all the work for nothing? like no one is giving me tips to improve or even just saying they liked the picture, they just fav it and run. which is flattering in its own regard but it makes it feel really really pointless to spend hours on a picture no one is going to look at, especially porn, and especially when my free time nowadays is so seldom

But favouriting it is saying you like it, isn't it?

you're missing the point.
yes, a favorite says you like it. but it's so automatic. when someone just favorites, I don't really know why they favorited,
I guess you'd really have to be an artist to understand but I want to know what people like about my picture??
it's the difference between
making dinner for somebody, and they say nothing about it or give no indication that they liked it, they just EAT it
and asking them what they thought about the dinner, where they give an honest critique of your cooking

because you cook the food so it tastes good, right?
you make the art so that it looks good
and I want to know if it looks good so I really just prefer people COMMENT and say what they like about it

because not only do I draw to draw,
but I draw to improve
and if everyone just favorites and run I never know what to improve or even if I did something wrong so I keep making the same mistakes

Well, I'll try to give criticism where I can from now on, probably not on every picture though. :x

which is fine, criticizing every picture would be a bit redundant. i only ask that people comment on the things they like.

plus I don't really get off to my own artwork so it's a bit null in that regard as well

it's just kinda like
OH MAN I DID THIS PICTURE I'M REALLY PROUD OF IT I HOPE OTHER PEOPLE ARE PROUD OF IT TOO, DID I DO A GOOD JOB?
*no response*
oh ok

The thing is, over the years people have been beaten down, blocked, sometimes even banned for giving criticism on art. Even positive. People just want to +fav and run nowadays because commenting, especially criticism, is way too risky if the artist is in a bad mood or anything.

literally every artist I know appreciates constructive criticism

I've gotten blocked for it before, and while I know you're not like that, and a lot of artists aren't either, it's just something the people less familiar with artists they watch do have to consider as a genuine risk.

I'm not saying that I agree with it, or want it to be a thing. But I understand why some people err on the side of caution.

I feel you! Comments really go a long way in encouragement. Expect more from me here~

Yeah, comments can be few and far between... try being a writer here It's like the land of the mute :P

This journal gave me an erection... but anyway, yeah, I'll be sure to spread my messy thoughts all over your artwork's bare, needy comments section.

i like how you draw the hot yiffs

it makes me murr

I honestly feel kinda... creepy leaving comments on NSFW stuff in general, no matter what I say, haha. I'll be sure to drop more comments, though!
