Fellow Deviants,

I am out of here.  DeviantArt, unfortunately, has not lived up to my expectations.  My expectations were that being a participating member would help promote my artwork, resulting in higher sales of my merchandise AND constructive critiques of my efforts to help me improve as an artist.  Such has not been the case.  Instead, members happily "favorite" my work or "watch" my account without so much as a comment and NEVER visiting my site, even when I am giving away merchandise for free.  In other venues, I am seeing greater participation, more interaction, traffic going to my website, and increased sales.  I will no longer be wasting my time here.

My account will remain open as a sign-post to those who actually joined DeviantArt to interact with and support other artists to where I can be found.  My website is Creative Oddities Studios: [link] and every month there is new erotic, demonic, and weird art and creativity.  We write books, have a radio show, and are even getting into making videos.  Check it out, because you won't see anymore action from us here.

Peace.
