You faved a deviation, literally a second after, i posted it.

You only faved the most recent piece in my gallery.

Your account was made literally yesterday.

Your account has rather fishy looking links that seems to lead to very shady site.

Your account is filled messages of ”thanks for fave” and generic ”np/youre welcome”-automated responds.

Your favourite folder is filled with random pictures in short amount time, or all your faves are about the one and same subject no matter the quality.

You commented to my art...with the same message you’ve spammed to every other similiar work thus far.

You added your fave to folder that has nothing to with my work.

You posted a message of ”can we be friends”, to me, a total stranger, you dont know a thing about.

You are from South Africa, created your account two hours ago and you also faved a comic strip, that was written in finnish, a language you, obviously, are not too familiar with.

You messaged me ”Im very impressed of your art and i’d like to employ you”, or something similiar scammy to me.

...And of course, you faved anything at all from me...i mean, anyone who understands what quality content is, should know better :D




...Sorry being somewhat rant-y, but during all these years in DA i've started to notice things that makes me somewhat suspicious of "faves" i tend to get. Some of them are genuine, but often i tend to see things that just screams "thats a favebot-account!/Fake-faver!", and other times... well im not really sure about those.

Somehow i managed to achieve 100 watchers before 33 333-pageviews-milestone and it only took me little over ten years to happen. Frankly its just a number.


Since the poll, how i should celebrate this, was such a disaster, im just gonna write something instead of drawing anything (i do have art in store for pageviews-milestone that also includes 100 "celebration" in a way). End results are same either way.


I think im gonna say "Thanks for your support, everyone", but those words are only intented to ones (watchers or not) who have actually done something to deserve the words. Since one cant be so sure about faves these days (they could be just from favebot and such) i appreciate actual feedback more, which is still rather rare sight these days.

Only handful of my watchers have said anything, and couple of them have already unwatched me or just abandoned their account ages ago. There are so many user who have only given me a watch (and maybe one fave along with it) and thats the only time ever hear from those people. Hell, theres also some accounts who clearly have no interest of my type of work, yet somehow i was still part of their masswatch-routine. Ones who have obviusly been blatant bots i have blocked instantly.



So thanks for those who have given actual support over the past decade, surely they are not many, but even those few have given some encouragement to continue.

10 years and im still as talentless as i started.

But lets see all ”achievements/milestonses” i’ve managed to get during the time:

-About 420+ deviations (yeah, i draw at snails pace)

-29 100 pageviews (i believe most of them are from me checking my page)

-About 80 ”watchers” (im pretty sure at least 95% of them ain’t even active and some long timer have already unwatched me, not that i can blame them)

-10K and 20K Pageviews ”Milestones”

-7th place on EStories ’s art contest.

-10th place on TheFriendlyElephant ’s art contest


- Got that one drawing featured on Equestria Daily-site.

-Got actual feedback at least once. (Still pretty sure 98% favorites i get are from bots.)

And thats about it. Im still drawing my garbage-quality doodles, so atleast i didn’t quit...if thats any good thing.

But then again being unpopular has its merits. I mean if one haven’t gained anything, one cant really lose anything either. Also unpopular do not have to deal with hatemail, drama, toxic fans or anything like that.
