Where is everyone? I mean, I was working insane hours last year and so didn't have time to draw or really be present in the community (general and more specifically vector) - but the change here is really drastic. Nobody communicates anymore. The impression I get is that the favourite button is no longer a fav button, it's a 'like' and comments are optional but definitely not necessary. Actually, facebook communicates more than deviantart. In my last couple of pieces I go and ask people to tell me what they can come up with as a story to try and have people communicate something. But isn't it kinda weird that I need another reason than my art to have people be willing to talk? Naturally this could just be due to my art - but this seems to be going around, so I was wondering how many people "suffered" from the same issue.
