Okay...so there's this challenge I entered a LOOOONG time ago...I've been waiting and waiting for the judgement to be called on it, and after spending all the time I did to make my entry for it - http://www.theotaku.com/fanart/view/370690/it_will_be_me - I have a feeling it will never be decided >8C ...I'm trying to be patient but I'm not going to lie it's gotten a bit frustrating, does anybody know what happened to the host of that challenge?
I know life happens and all, and if there turns out to be a legit reason for keeping all the entrants waiting, than I can understand. But the fact is when someone holds a challenge, there's a little bit of a responsibility there to those who put in their effort and time to compete in your contest, I would have hoped we'd have gotten something, anything, even the tiniest note of why we've all been kept waiting for so long. I just want an explanation, if it's a reasonable one, like family problems, school, loss or internet, etc. fine I understand that completely, but if I ever find there's not a really legit reason, I'm gonna be a little pee'd off.
Honestly that entry was one of, if not the, longest and most complex project I've undertaken to date, and now it seems I won't even get to see if the work paid off or not. - rant over >:/
I know no one's gonna see this being I'm so little-known here, but...
...have fav-and-runs gotten Worse in the past few months???
seriously, used to be I'd submit a picture of a character and it'd get at least one or two comments before it was buried beneath other submissions.
but lately all I get is favorites - which are nice, don't get me wrong - but ZERO comments, nothing, zip.
I Know it's gonna happen, I do the same thing myself sometimes, I'm guilty too I admit, I think we all do it sometimes. but that doesn't change the fact that it IS annoying when it becomes as extreme as this.
and it's getting just as bad on deviantART as it is here on Otaku too, it seems to be a universal epidemic.
I mean I don't expect everyone to have something to say, but now it's like people aren't even bothering anymore.
seriously, if you like an image, it would be really nice if you at least try to tell the artist WHY you like it. what features stand out to you? how does it appeal to your tastes? etc. etc. I don't expect an essay or anything, just maybe a quick "I love the eyes" or "the outfit is great" now is it really THAT time consuming to write a quick comment like that??
even I comment sometimes, it's not that hard, seriously people, at least think about it and give it a try.
