A disturbing but true reality... (PLEASE READ IT)

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 16, 2013, 7:44 PM
Hi this is :iconknucklessilverlove: here to give something I've been meaning to say and in some way it's not either good or bad news.
Through the years since I've been on DA I've done drawings, requests (In my first year), AT's, Commissions, comics, etc. for all to see and enjoy...BUT... for me it's really sad and disappointing that some of my watchers after all my hard work I only get:
'Cool'
'Lol'
'XD'
'Nice'
'Awesome'
'Cute'
'Epic'
And I'm sick of it, I don't break my head each day thinking of a new plot for my stories so I can get a lousy comment and leave me hanging with WHAT they think of the page I just did. In every piece of work I do I always have the ilussion of thinking 'What will people say when they see this?', 'I hope they like it', 'What'll they think with this?'... and my hopes go crumbling down with the one word comment.
And it's not only because of the one word comments, but also of the rp comments and the nothing-to-do-with-the-subject comments. I don't rp as people can see on the first custom box of my profile, so how hard is it to understand that?
And the other ones are about how I submit a let's say a random Sonic pic and then someone comes saying 'Oh this reminds me of when what's-his-face was fighting in a plane with this guy in the show RandomName'...That has nothing to do with the subject at all or when it's compared with a situation that just popped out of your head that sometimes sounds really weird or creepy.
Also about the faving and high-tailing it out, it's nice that you fave, but why not say what you liked about it so you can fave it and leave.
And that's not all, whenever I submit any and I mean any drawing and I put everything in the description, they still come and ask me 'What's going on?', 'Why is he/she doing that?', 'What just happened?'... I mean really the answer will always be in the description, heck, even with all that I said about the comments are in like the millions of stamps I put hoping that a lot of people will read, but as I can see they don't.
Please people, take some time and read the custom box that has Nega Tails on the top and see what I would really like, if you really like my work then show a little respect for it please.

This isn't a complain from me to some of you (because there are some that don't do this to me) it's a S.O.S I'm saying here, because the more I get this, the less I want to draw what I love and do what I love and I don't wanna do that.

BEFORE YOU COMMENT... don't... I don't want you to comment, I just want you to read and understand.
And if you do comment...

...I just wasted my time with you...

And one more thing, if you wanna dewatch me because of this, it's ok, I'm not here for views or faves... I'm here for drawing...

No te preocupes: "Si quieres que te respeten... respeta " lo dice la gente sabia y como ya has de saber yo te respeto mucho asi que no te preocupes procurare no hacerte sentir mal con ninguno de mis comentarios y si llego a hacerlo solo avisame procurare recordarlo, tomarlo en cuenta y no cometer el mismo error dos veces; ahora solo te respeto mas puesto que se necesita mucha fuerza para defender un criterio u opinion personal...
Saludos...

I dunno if I mentioned this before, but I happen to have a folder with subfolders saved on my computer that has your current comics organized like part of a digital comic collection (I have other artists too) so I can read them when my Internet gets wonky. I used to have the old Nega ones on my old computer before it died completely and lost all my files...

Anyway, I tend to either leave a good sized comment or I don't leave one at all if I can't find a way to word it well enough, but in any case, I really do enjoy your art and comics, even if I may sometimes be a fave and run person simply because I can't really think of a proper feedback comment to it.

Or, I end up engaging in a rather long comment conversation that could stretch on for days, depending on the time I have for that...

... But, yeah... I can understand the frustration in getting generic one word comments and such...

Yeah, I agree with you with the one-word-comments. You work your @§§ up for your art and all what they can say is one word. Is that meaningful? - definitively not.
So I start ignoring those kind of comments. I think they could take the time to leave a meaningful sentence why they like this artwork or even better giving advices what the artist can make better.

An alternative would be a list of FAQs posted on your profile. Okay to your profile this made up by posting the stamps. ... ... honestly I lost the overview that you prefer/like/dislike/whatever ... I'm sorry :iconidunnololplz: but I read it. And that's the problem. People are too lazy to read.
Here an advice to you if they ask a question what is written in the description inform them to read the description to the picture/profile or just posting strikingly PLZ-icons for reading.

Anyway, I think you should ignore those one-word-comments. It doesn't make sense to complain it that much.

Yes I have no choice but to ignore them.
I'm not complaining about it as I mentioned in the journal, it's something I had to say out loud.

And that's correct. If you put the fact on the table the people will know and understand that.
