I'm just going to tell you that at least I personally feel no need to comment unless I see something wrong (since you said "nice" isn't a comment). You've seen how I draw. It goes without saying that everything you make is a hundred times better than what I can do.

I dunno what to tell you, man.I know exactly the feeling you describe, where you throw down a bunch of stuff and get ignored entirely, and someone else comes along and does one thing and everybody's all over it. Story of my life on pretty much every forum I've been a part of, honestly. There will be discussions where I'll read through all of the posts and spend an hour typing up a long, well-thought out response that I feel really adds a lot and solves issues, and it's ignored. Not a single reply or even acknowledgement that I posted for the rest of the discussion. And then someone else posts like two sentences that were basically a worse and less thought out version of what I said and everyone's like WOW AWESOME and I'm just like ...So I know how you feel.Remember when we stayed up until 7 am doing that Athalian Idol episode? I posted it on here. Not only did it get zero responses, a few weeks later when I mentioned it on the pad nobody knew it even existed. So it's not just you. I bet half the problem is that it's annoyingly easy to miss a spoiler in a post if you're skimming like many people here do, so I bet a lot of your art people don't even know is there, and it's less of a case of them ignoring it/not caring/whatever.I think I can speak for all of us though that we all appreciate what you have done for the roleplay. The extra stuff and lore and obviously characters and plot arcs have been invaluable to the progress and sustainment of the Athalia universe, drawings included. It makes it feel more complete, and other than Rose (since she created it) I don't think anyone's more valuable to Athalia than you are. I just made some websites.
I said that comments like "Nice" and "Cool" ARE counted as comments, not the other way around.
Everyone is a valuable part to Athalia, but we sometimes fail to make each other feel that. I'll be quite honest in this opinion of mine.
I spent 5 days sketching out the Dragon Knight's concept art and still am, and I have spent a longer amount of time on other drawings I spent days on trying to learn things I've never drawn before, and with the little amount of freetime I have outside of quickly typing in this website, it sometimes takes weeks or even months. Some other roleplays' responses made me think, if I say it nicely,
"Wow, this is bullsh-t. F-ck this. Is there anything that can make them RESPOND to my sh-t, even if it's that sh-tty?"And that's saying my thoughts very, very nicely. I honestly felt 1/2 of that feeling after the Athalian Idol episode.
I've had complaints from RPG during my active days as a GM/Co-GM, and many of them were how they were not getting enough attention. I guess I developed an extreme hatred for ignoring others' words after the countless of messages I received (yes, it's a lot more common than you think it is), which is why I usually try to respond to nearly every post in the OOC that could possibly or obviously involve me. I try to talk. The others? Well, whaddya know.
I love the talents shown in this roleplay. From the drawings to the collaborative posts, from the ideas to the creative gimmicks we made for the roleplay. It's when we get lazy and scrim over the talents they put effort into that I begin to harbor feelings of hatred for. Yes, I still hate the concept of ignorance after three years of experiencing ignorance in forums. We can post over five paragraphs of explaining why we're sorry or why we couldn't respond instead of giving a few words of motivation. Even the most half-hearted comments made me thrilled in making my next contribution to this roleplay.
As for the usage of "hiders," that just exemplifies the little interest given to others' creations. I've never scrimmed over a single post so far in Season 1 and Season 2, and no way in Hell am I going to scrim over anything in Season 3 and its OOC. I'm not saying you have to worship others' talents, but you could at least try to comment on 1/10 of someone's contributions, right?
Anyway, I will be uploading my artwork on dA now. As for the account's location, I'm sure you can find it yourself if you're interested.
