3 Days No Responses by TristanAlexander

Not sure why I have gotten no likes or comments or anything in the last 3 days. My last evidence anyone saw what I posted was the 25th. I wonder what is going on?

    I think Halloween is going on. Mine have been lower too. People just more busy than usual :P (I know that it why I haven't been able to get anything done art wise)

    Because you didn't post anything with ears or a tail? Furries are fickle like that.

    I am rarely here to comment, but usually pretty quiet anyways. But I feel you on the silence. Specially when I pander and its still silent. Its always silent here so its a main reason I am not as invested. Its like posting to a ghost town, but not as bad as DA.

      The reason I posted about no response was because for me it is not normally a ghost town. I get as much if not more responses here than I ever did on FA (not on DA).

        I could see FA being more silent than here for your work though, I see a huge fantasy subspace there and activity but it seems sort of on its own and more like tumblr/art school students in their own network looking for clients. Were there cons? I thought there was one right in there, a smaller one at least. I find everyone is rushing to finish inktober then too. I know I usually see it being a slow month and then it picks up right after halloween like wildfire with activity. I usually plan for it to be quieter.

          I was on FA for several years and I did tons of furry specific art, Dark Natasha even said my work was as good as hers (when I was asking if my work was just not good enough since I got VERY little input or business on there). I gave up when the Owner/Mods played favorites and screwed me over when my at was stolen by someone on there! So I took all my art down and left FA! It took a while, but the amount of traffic and response here has been better than FA was for me most of the time. It just seems like the two picture I posted before my last one for Inktober were invisible.

            Ack closed my browser and lost the reply. People often mistake my art for a few more famous artists now. A few people have said my anatomy is getting tighter than those artists at this point though, but I still have miles to go in color and medias. Those pieces must have just blipped out for some reason. I have never had my art stolen on an art site, but it has been stolen and used as tattoos, and screen prints. Sorry you had to deal with that, I hear they were/are slow about that. I don't get involved with migration dramas, just sign up at the new places, and give them a feeding, but with no payment bites happening then I just go work where the cash is again leaving the pole in the water with a bell so to speak. Its getting better over here, but its still pretty much a no pay/no traffic zone, and its not just me. One piece here has 100 less views than on FA and 12 favorites here, 45 there. I am glad it works for some people but just interest isn't enough for me. I get tons of feedback and interest in person and in my community or IRL fans. Been told my art is great forever, it doesn't bring me that much fulfillment to hear because its sort of a cheap and easy compliment to say to an artist. I'd like to have more income and work sold in gallery than preen with compliments. Everyone has their own thing though, different reasons to do/post their art (my fiance is more about the process and the feeling of doing so I get that)

              There are more people ON FA so of course you get more response there if they like your stuff. My issue was apparently they didn't like my stuff enough to start with. I want to sell art and get stuff in a gallery but Weasyl and FA both gave me NO money, but at least here I get feedback and have reasonable moderators and get some feedback. If you don't help a new site to grow, of course it will not change and get better! I gave FA years and the mods made stupid rules that they only enforced fro some and not for all! And they were not "SLOW" at dealing with my stolen art, they flat out claimed I had no case and allowed the thief to leave MY art on their page! I learned a long time ago, I am not going to make money from my art online! I post to sites like this to get FEEDBACK! To have someone with different eyes tell me what I did wrong or what I did right in a picture. Real life is where I sell and have had a decent carrier as an artist. Things have slowed down and cons I used to go to have died or moved and become less good for me, but I m still selling in real life and trying to find some online connections.

    Can anyone even see Nephilim and Silver Flame Face?
