Slayer - Western Dragon - Digital Art

I personally like this one. Designing the dragon was a lot of fun and its been a while since I've completed a nice digital piece.

    Rocky desert scenes are beautiful. :D How did this only get 4 views, what the hell?

      Ha ha thanks, well I think its because I'm one of the new people that nobody knows. (And most likely I'm just not up to par with other the artist around here)

        Well everyone here is pretty new, at least with the influx around here... should give people a new chance. I'm already just floored though, I'm meeting and sharing with so many interesting people that I'd never would've until this site, so.. small victories I guess. :P Your skill is awesome, if I were richer I would commission you without hesitation. xD

          Aww ha ha thank you that means a lot to me. I find a lot of people have their friends from FA though, I don't only have maybe 1 or 2 since I was a member there for only 2 weeks prior to here, and my DA friends, well they kind went inactive and kind of just quit D:
          Ofc there are some kicking around but they are too spread out, and thus my search for a new home.

            Over a few years I was able to get around 240 people on my watchlist on FA, though to my dismay only about 1/8th of my favorites were for my music. Most of them came from my digital coloring or submitting nice art work I had commissioned. It always gave me a false illusion that people cared about my music, and only ever a few people really bothered to comment on journals or even LOOK at my submissions. I mean, my average views for an original music work were almost always between 20-40... that's pathetic when you count new traffic + watchlist + friends who you know who will look. This was the cause of a lot of frustration at myself, sadly.

            So I basically said "Screw it, I'm starting over"... made no notification to my watchlist there, and a few friends know I'm here but only one has bothered to actually sign up and listen. I take it as something new and exciting! I'm really happy chatting away in the forums, and while my music here is no more successful than on FA, I feel much more at home. The people who come follow me now are going to do it for the music and maybe writing. xD I could digitally color again someday too I suppose, or even start drawing. We'll see, but I'm encouraged at the very least.

            Sorry, ranting and rambling here. :P

              Yes I understand what you mean. I know plenty of people who feel down because of that very reason. Or that you could post a stick man doing something stupid with a witty comment and get more views and more favs then any piece of work you put your heart and soul into.
              I think thats what happened to many people I can't find anymore :(
              I know people that leave or get upset when someone offers a suggestion, people can be far to sensitive and they run away and change their name. I think this is why so many nice people turn so easily and are sometimes jerks online. They can hide and they know it.

              I think that starting fresh can also be refreshing as you feel right now (I think). It's not a bad thing to want the attention you think you deserve, but for me I feel like, well I just have to work harder. I honestly feel as though I truly earn my followers.

              I think its much harder and different for music You see from my point of view, if I am going to follow and listen to music, I will have to be wanting to do that (listen to music i mean). Often my computer is playing music already so I don't click on music to listen unless I'm in the mood for that. Now with a picture you only need to see it. Really, that's all there is to it, OMG A PICTURE! I LIKE IT! Music needs to be somewhat marketed to the right audience. Also, as one who isn't a musician, I find it hard or me to comment on it. I can say, o like this, or great job, or this sound quality isn't great, but to me those comments aren't always worth putting down (and I did listen to something you played, but didn't know what I could say about it, I'll try next time). I think everyone relates to drawing more easily as its right there. Everyone knows how to use a pencil and a pen. Its just easier to connect with. Perhaps make some videos of you playing? though I'm sure you do fine as you are very active in the music forums.

              I think its all a success for yourself, I am not obsessed with my page views, or my favs, or my followers, but more so, with how the people who do this are treated. I would trade having a million followers for 100 that truly meant something. People who want to be my friends, who want to help me improve, and actually look at the things I post. i want to treat the people who follow me well, which is one reason I try to post and comment on posts that mean anything. I understand not having time to reply a "i like this" thats life. But if someone can be bothered to tell you something, good or bad, at least they can know that I've read it.
              Anyways, dont worry about "ranting" here. It's nice to have a conversation about blah sometimes. Not like people are forced to read comments that other people have posted lol.

                Surprise; I kept this comment in my list, as I wanted to reply to it when I felt ready.

                I posted a journal today that sort of described where my feelings are heading, though it sort of reflects my overall life status at the moment. The freshness has been nice, but I've remembered a pattern that I follow when getting excited about something new... and it always ends up in disappointment when I realize how little of an impact I have.

                You described it well; I'm by nature a sore thumb in this community. Everyone can appreciate music, certainly, but it has to be on their terms and actually requires an investment of time. It is harder to connect with, although many people have had some experience playing an instrument, even for a bit. Not as much as a pencil, though. I'm not sure a video of me playing would help anything along; how would that make connecting easier, do you think? And eh, it's pretty quiet for me. I have two people here who comment regularly on my music, which is fairly decent even if it doesn't seem like it. That's what I averaged after 3-4 years on FA. =/

                Really, it is about quality over quantity. I just wish the quality wasn't so hard to find sometimes, you know?

                  Np, I do the same thing with long comments and journals.
                  Well as or videos, I think its just me but sometime when I want to learn a song I go to youtube. I watch people play, maybe learn from them, at the same time, when I am on youtube I am willing o listen to something not on my radio or computer. Also its more, like a drawer, I mean that there are millions of things but sometimes I come across some guy just rocking out to himself. Of course its work, like you have to tag them well and blah blah blah, but it was just an idea I thought I would throw out there. I know another buddy of mine used to make weird songs about his chats, rps etc. well it got his friends that he was chatting or rping with to listen, then they might head over to his other stuff, not everyones style of going about it. Just saying if people are on youtube they might be more willing to listen, but its still the same, you need to put yourself out and be out there at the same time. I have more to say but I think that your journal might he a more appropriate place.
