I Apologise ...

Journal Entry: Sun Jan 27, 2013, 1:23 AM
Big, fat apology for all my watchers if you've asked me questions or sent me notes and I haven't replied to them. Either your comment annoyed me and I deleted it (I've been on edge lately with college stress and irritation is rife) but more likely I just haven't gotten around to cleaning out my inbox ... all 420 comments at the moment. I'm just chucking art up here as I go but I have no time to breathe.

In the meantime, I'd also like to advertise :iconthe-oc-consortium:, a new group organized by our own :iconshendin: herself as a place to adverise our Original Characters. Spawned by my recent rant about the constant labeling most OCs get from others, this group is a place to show off your originality and comment on others, so do give it a look or join in.

Just doing my part to advertise for a fellow Deviant. Stay awesome and keep drawing. I'm going to go back to the college and chain myself to the tablet pen for the next two months now.

No need for apologies, though I really hope my comments haven't annoyed you.

Keep drawing and study hard! =) (Though I know I don't have to say that)

And just like that, words fail me.

Except not, because I'm actually wildly grateful that you did this for me Sak! You have no clue. I really, really can't thank you enough! :hug:
Also I'm sorry I bothered you at such a hectic time. The last thing I want is to be is one more irritation among a hundred irritations. I'm hoping things will be easier for you soon enough.

It's just...aw man. This really means a lot to me! I'm glad even through hundreds of comments you still take the time to respond individually to people! That's really a noble thing to do while being so popular at the same time! Thank you again! :love: If there's any way for me to return the favor, just let me know!

Unfortunately I don't reply to everyone, that would just stress me out even more and leave me not time to do anything, but I do try to respond to as many possible, anything I might have an opinion towards.

And that's why I admire you as a person as well as an artist. You don't let your popularity go to your head. It annoys me when popular artists pretend their watchers don't exist, or at least don't acknowledge them. I mean, I guess a lot of them are busy, but still...

And obviously I don't expect you to comment on everything I say. Sometimes I'm just like, "Oh, Sak should know I appreciate this." And I just leave it as that.
I have been enjoying our small banter-talks, though. :)

There was a point in time where the popularity of one of my OCs did get to my head, not to the point where I ignored my fans, but the opposite was true - I welcomed them all. It was game-based and the drama got so bad as a result just about everyone quit.

I've learned since then. The fact that what I'm producing seems to cheer so many people and draw such a following humbles me, and I hope not to get famous, but not to disappoint those who have really stayed true to my art and have shown me such good support.

I suppose with masses of followers, there's going to be masses of "I don't need to respond to this" comments, but I have to wonder... Do you get a number of ones that you DO find make you want to respond to positively, or that you appreciate at all? Or is it just another day, another several hundred annoyances?

I respond to the comments that are well thought-out or that are interesting questions in my opinion. I frequently find myself getting asked the same things - usually questions I've already answered in the artist's comments - and these I don't bother replying to; if you can't find the time to read what I write, I don't find the time to respond, it's as simple as that. Other times I get "freaky" people who leave repetitive comments on numerous pictures in the hopes that I'll respond to just one of them at least, which creeps me out and so I don't reply.

I love getting comments and I love reading them, so I don't think they're annoyances. But I do have a very busy schedule so I can't be expected to respond to each and every single one. I feel like a "thank you" to every person is actually kind of thankless, because it's such a generic reply, and I'd hope that the majority of my watchers realise that my constant efforts to keep this place updated is my way of showing my gratitude for their support, by producing more of what they like, instead of spending hours typing when I could be working.

Np Sak! Sometimes you have to do what you have to do to get all your work done.
If it would help with the comments, you could probably blanket-reply too all of the 'From Louis with Love' comments, because you got 438 (so far) and we all basically said the same thing :) I don't think anyone would mind.

Best of luck with all of your animation work!!

Bah, let people have their OCs. It's not doing anyone any physical harm and I don't believe they have much mental harm either.

Stressssss, why must you be so stressed? Get some sleep! :P
