First off, let me get out of the way that I'm hurt no one even said ANYTHING about my last journal (there were 100 viewers). But I should be used to this by now.

Second let me say just how DUMB FOUNDED I am, in the following fact:

Mature Content

By Your Powers Combined... by Nostalgia-Guy
 This piece has been up for almost a week. It has under 100 views and not even 5 fav's.
However,

Mature Content

Captain Planet Bonus: Blight by Nostalgia-Guy
 THIS piece has nearly 400 views and about 6x as many fav's!

I know, I realize it's all about what group your piece is submitted to. Obviously that gives you a different exposure group and even a different number of people. But there is basically ONE group that is different from these pieces. That's the Ariane St. Amour fan page. I realize that she has a following and that should help. BUT AT THIS MARGIN???? Holy shit that's nutballs!

I do just want to point out that fact, this way for all you future readers, you can know the group you submit it to REALLY affects your exposure. Plus I've been gaining "watchers" after the Blight upload, versus NONE after the CP upload. Oh, and I forgot to mention just how much more time went into CP's edit, than Blight's (it's the hair). It's almost like it doesn't even matter....

I'm going to need to go find a 'Torrie Wilson' fan page now. (don't bother looking, they don't exist. Owen Wilson? SURE. But the beautiful Torrie Wilson? Naaah -_- )

So, to give you my comment:

I randomly stumbled upon your pics while browsing as I discover every other artist here on dA. I like what I saw and so I put you on watch to see if I'd like some other pics you'll post. Does this give me any obligation to comment on everything I view from you? Or to fav pieces I don't like? I think not.

Take for example the "By Powers combined" picture you lament about: It's not my kind of picture. You managed to take a pic of a beautiful woman and turn it into a fantasy of child's toy? This might be your fantasy, but for me it's an unconsentuals objectification (You got the pic from Google? The model and the original photographer don't even know this?)

So I chose NOt to comment not to HURT you, but to SPARE you the hurt.

And to get on the topic of no comments to your previous journal: People who are interested will comment. People who are not interested READ your journal (you have the counted views) but I say they (me included) didn't comment out of respect to you. They don't want to hinder your ideas, they don't want to write empty sentences for the sake of commenting.
This should show you, that the people who read the journal were not interested.

Now you have to expose your idea to a wider audience, as you have to do with your pictures. I would be more concerned why there are only 3 meaningful comments by other people on the two pictures than by the difference in the number of faves (hint: It's the boobs).

So get your act together and stop whining, because this will drive people AWAY instead of spreading your pictures!
