Talked to him.
Doc use to be very talkative back when he used his former name (which I would ask that you refrain from using due to spiders picking up for search engines). When shit hit the fan he calmed up posted a journal for a few days then deleted his account he resurfaced as you see now, but a lot of his work is no longer on there.

It's like one of those 'you had to be there scenarios'. The community use to be much more than it is now. Yahoo groups, all the chats, forums sad that such a Renaissance is lost to the new members. Most things have gone to ground and have not resurfaced.

if you want to talk to artists all you have to do is be polite and know where to do the talking.
Site like here, inflatechan and deviantart are the best.
Hell there are dozens of TF artists that would have quit if good fans hadn't spoken up to tell them they were appreciated. So get out there and tell your favorites how happy you are they exist. You never know if it will make a difference.

Agreed that we should be nice to all artists.

As far as talking to people though, I have been all over infchan and DA and shot notes, comments, and messages all over. I think I may have gotten 2 or 3 replies in total and then was never spoken to again by anyone, with the exception of one, who I was able to commission once, and THEN he stopped talking to me.

It's not as easy as all that, BUT I do understand that artist can't reply to every post they get, and some people just want to be left to their art. Oh well.

i wonder why things went to pot so badly.
i remember when i first discovered this stuff online, it used to be so damn vibrant and now its scarce.
what happened to create the void we're at now?
