As you know, I am a commenting fiend. If you post something and I watch you, I will comment on it (eventually.) I will find something I like and something I don't, and tell you about the don't thing if you want me to.

So I'm really sorry to those people where I just say "nice". I don't usually do that. The thing is, I have a few issues.
Thus, I've made a list of my rules regarding commenting, and how likely you are to get a comment from me.


1. Backlog. I typically have anywhere from 5 to 10 deviations daily. If I miss a day, that's up to twenty I have to deal with. And my time is not limited to critiquing. Yeah. I actually draw. So if I get backlogged, I may delete earlier deviations.

2. Mass uploads. I AM NOT SANTA. I cannot comment on ten deviations from one person in one day. If they were from different people I could (and do) because the styles and subjects are different, but what kind of constructive critism do you expect me to give on ten identical pictures of the same rose? Note. Unless mass uploads result in backlog, I will get to you. Eventually.

3. Friendliness. Yes. Your odds of getting a helpful comment from me go up exponentially if you are nice to me. This can be as simple as commenting on my work once in a while. Or, if you don't already, watch me and then comment. While I make exceptions for really good artists (like, two) don't count on yourself being one of them.

4. Telepathy. I don't have it, folks. If dA doesn't tell me that you posted sixty bajillion awesomesauce images, I won't know about it. So before you reply to this journal with an angry rant like "YOU SAY YOU ALWAYS COMMENT BUT I'VE NEVER GOTTEN A COMMENT FROM YOU YOU DUMB B*TCH", be aware that I simply might not get notified. And I will hide your comment and give you the finger and it will do absolutely nothing for your chances of getting a comment from me ;D

5. These same rules apply to journals.



So I hope that clears things up.
