Uh, no this is how the system works.

Artist posts work, people say that's awesome.  Artist does more work because there's a demand and is comfortable drawing that type of content.

No praise, then artist obviously things no one enjoyed it and doesn't bother catering to that audience anymore.

This is not true for all artists, but I personally don't mind making work for others as long as it's not taken for granted.  But I guess GTS fans are just happy to take and leave, so I don't care what that audience thinks of my animations anymore.

Which one is more selfish anyway?  The artist taking time out of his day to make an animation and wanting praise, or the fan who doesn't do jack shit and just takes and walks away?  Seems to lean more towards the fan.

And they wonder why those that are creative stop posting.

I agree with the dissapointment of not receiving comments on your work, whether they are for stories (as in my case), or for drawings or animations. But true "art" is done for the love of doing it, so negative comments should be viewed as just someone else's opinion, although the comments should not be mean or done in a vitriolic manner. They should be made with politeness and/or suggestions to improve one's art form, and can be taken and used, or discarded by, the artist in question. As for foot growth, it is not something I am particularly fond of, unless the woman in question has grown well beyond average height. I love the muscles growing and height increase, but to me, a woman's normally smaller hands and feet look sexier when she has not assumed the stature of a 'giantess'. Of course, a ten feet tall woman WOULD look disproportionate with small hands and feet! Remember, this is just my opinion so don't have any 20 feet tall women stomp on me please!

Yes true art is done for the love of doing it, but I work in a profession where you have to make art for the sake of making art.  When I'm doing FMG animations those are truly out of love for the craft, but if I'm going to go out of my way to post animations that take days to make; these least posters could do is show some gratitude.

I have an older friend at church who may have had an unusual growth spurt this year. She's wearing pants & slacks that are noticably shorter & sporting larger sized shoes these days.  I actually watched her outgrow a pair of sandals over the summer. She wears sandals with socks alot from spring to summer. This is a BIG turn for me & she knows it now. I've always sat by her when she's there at church and made sure to wear my sandals for a great comparison every time we have a church picnic or other event outside. At every outdoor event from June to August I noticed that her toes became longer and longer,little by little to where they finally grew over the edge of 2 different pairs of sandals. She stopped wearing them when a nasty older lady made a rude comment about how big her feet were compared to mine under the table. It was rude enough to where I made a solid friend as I helped her fight back some tears when the evil troll finally left. This is where I finally had a chance to tell her how attractive her height & foot size was to me & she began showing off her feet at church more often. Karen says she is over 6'7" (I say over 6'8" or 6'9" at least) w/a size equiv to a men's size 16 now.
