1. I don't buy adopts. Waste of money. If you don't come up with it yourself, what's the bloody point?
2. If I find it very enticing to the eye or exceedingly witty and/or hilarious
3.  If I like the majority of the works they produce, I watch.
4. Directly after I choose to watch that person, if it's their birthday, or if they're doing something harmful to one of the people I watch.
5. If I have something to say
6. I don't commission other artists because I keep tight hold of my money when I don't have a steady income. When I get a good job, perhaps, oh yes, I will commission artists like a fiend. (I'm a fair good writer, but my drawing skill is greatly lacking -__-; )

Buy an adopt? - I don't buy adopts ouo! But it's cool to the people that do, I just don't understand it it's a waste to me honestly. I brought one and I don't know what to do with it, seriously....it was a waste of money. XD;;..

Fav a deviation? If I really like it, really.

Watch a person? If they seem like a cool person, or they have good art, or something in common I would watch them if I want to keep intouch with them in some way.

Comment on a profile? If I get a llama, favorite, or watch I usually drop by there front page, or to say happy birthday :3

Comment on art? If I have free time and really want to say something.

Commission certain people? If I have the funds to, and I really want something from them.

1. N/A
2. I either really like the art, I'm friends with the person who posted it and/or I'm trying to make the person feel better (like if they've seemed to be doubting their art skills or something).
3. I either really like their art or I find them to be relatively chill.
4. To thank them, to compliment their art or perhaps wish them a Happy Birthday if the occasion comes up.
5. I like the art or wish to support the person.
6. N/A

I don't buy things on DA. But I do fav things I find interesting that I'd like to keep tabs on or looks appealing/interesting to me. I watch people who I meet in groups or have a friendship with or I just like their art. I comment on people's profiles most of the time thanking them for a watch. I comment on interesting art. And I don't do commissions.

Not applicable.

Fav a deviation?

If it catches my attention and if it is an awesome crossover or something.

Watch a person?

His art style, attitude and awesomeness.

Comment on a profile?

When I find that the artist's art is excellent.

Comment on art?

Whenever I have something to say about it.

Commission certain people?

When I would like to see my characters in their style.

Buy an adopt? Nothing.
Fav a deviation? I really like it and know I'll enjoy seeing it agin.
Watch a person? Friendship, like their work, or they just seem cool.
Comment on a profile? If I like pretty much everything in their gallery but don't want to comment on every piece, or just to say hi or whatever.
Comment on art? Sometimes just to say I like it, sometimes to say what specifically I like about it, and sometimes to ask questions or make suggestions.
Commission certain people? I like their work or I'm looking for something specific and think they can handle it.

Buy an adopt?
- I don't do that :no: I make my own work and that's good enough for me. Plus I don't really get it, isn't it cooler to make up your own characters?....just my opinion

Fav a deviation?
- When I really like a artwork, when it inspires, or when I think it just really needs more exposure

Watch a person?
- When I looove their art, and when I want to keep track of their new work and progress

Comment on a profile?
- Mostly when I am thanking them for a fav, llama, watch and/or comment :nod:

Comment on art?
- When I love a work and I just feel the need to express my love for it. Also, when a really good artwork has like no comments at all :nod:

Commission certain people?
- I don't do that either, I try to make monies myself, so yeah :XD:

- Nothing.

- If it shows something inspiring or interesting I want to remember later.

- If the style and themes the person is working on/with are inspiring/interesting.

- Extremely rarely. Only if I want to thank a person for something special.

- Rarely. If I have a question about something in it or want to point out something I think is special about it.

- Nothing.

"I haven't commissioned people because I have nothing to give."
I feel you bro. The only thing I've ever  bought from anyone was as a pixel and it was only 5pts.
I feel like five cents is way too cheap for a animated pixel art...^°^°^.
Yet points are hard to get w/out cash...

DoubleDandE's avatar
Yep that's true.

It looks good and has a reasonable price
It's amazing or it's by one of my favorite creators
They have amazing art and/or they're a nice person
It looks radical and/or they have given me something
It's amazing, all art deserves a nice comment!
?? (//Hasn't gotten a commission yet.)

There you go! uvu

I don't buy adopts or commissions. When I give a favorite, watch an artist or comment on a piece, it's because I really love their work and think it's of exceptional quality. I almost never comment on profiles because I usually don't see the point. Once in a blue moon I'll do it to give a general compliment to their entire gallery, but not often.

" I almost never comment on profiles because I usually don't see the point."
Yeah, I understand how you may feel. Though, I just really really started to. I felt like I just wasn't as in to the community as I could have been^o~o^.
Plus, some artist rarely get feedback so why not talk to a randome stranger and hype them up to motivate them and stuff. I can't even explain how excited I was  to get my first reply^=v=^.
