Description
Here's your daily dose of waifu everyone
Commission work for someone in twitter
This month has been filled with a lot of commissions which I am really
thankful for. I do hope I can get to drawing some pretty interesting stuff
which I have planned for the year soon though
Anyway thought I'd discuss about how it seems that most people have become inactive here on
Deviantart, including me I guess T - T. A lot of artists that I follow here don't seem to post as much,
and I also seem to have done the same as sometimes I feel that despite having a whole lot of watchers,
only a few seem to check out my works every now and then which sort of feels a bit depreciating, which I
guess creates a weird cycle of creators not being active on the site as much, in turn making the watchers lose
interest, and then gives the creators less reasons to upload again, etc.
But that's it for my small rambling xD I'm still incredibly thankful for all the people who continue to support my
art even though I don't always get to return the favor. In general, I still feel really happy uploading artworks
and seeing people enjoy them too, which is good enough reason to continue being active here
What do you guys think about this sort of situation? Do you feel the same too?
And of course, don't forget to smile like our pretty maid here!

This is so pretty!!! I love her pose, all the colors, and all the details! fav ^^
Yeah I agree, a lot people don't bother commenting on art and will just fav it and move on. People used to be a lot more active on here, and I know a lot of people have stopped coming here and went to Twitter instead. When I first joined I used to get more comments on my art. Now sometimes I have to go to the forums just to get some feedback on my art ^^

Hey thanks man!
Oh that's a bit sad to hear but yeah gone were the
days when everyone was extremely active here
Even artshare threads barely have people commenting in them x(

You're very welcome! ^^
Yeah, I think it's because of all the social media sites that we have now are to blame. People can just hit a like button and then scroll on to the next thing

ooooo lovely atmosphere!!
And yeah I agree about the activity levels here on dA.... I think a big part of it might be because most platforms are mobile-based now, and dA is just really really terrible on that front 😥 Most of the artists I know either don't bother with dA because it's so bad on mobile, or sign up and then totally forget about it because of the lack of push notifications to their devices.

Hey thanks a lot <3
Yeah there's a lack of notifications + It doesn't look as sleek
and as fast paced in my opinion as other apps x(
I mean who doesn't look saving time so having some place
where you can drag and drop your art fast w/out much hassle is the
priority

Such a nice drawing! I really love your warm shading style
Yeah I've seen that a lot - pretty big artists with even 1 or 2k watchers but barely any any comments or favs. I guess it's just dA being specific in a way that it's sooo much community based for the most part.

hey thanks! this also honestly feels a bit strange to me as ive worked with a
lot of cool dark colors in the past few months
alsoo yeaah there's a whole lot of interaction that's sorta required here
to the point where it can be quite tiring sometimes just to keep some
sort of relevancy (even more than twitter an ig imo)

Oh it's quite funny since I've always struggled more with those general types of social media (like ig or twitter). DA has always felt to me like a place for weirdos alike where you can easily make friends and have fun interactions. I've abandoned my twitter account completely after a month of failed attempts at getting literally anything there and on ig I'm doing pretty bad, but I'm getting a bit of likes when I happen to hit the right tags (but I'm mostly watched there by my dA friends anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Sometimes I feel like I'm too old to get into these modern types of social media lol xD
So I guess different sites require completely different ways of approaching them.
