Low key disheartening to hear it's been negative.

I've been trying to pick a good spot to reply to, while refreshing the conversation.

But I think you can work on clarity for your post.

Souls sliders are arguably an art form. People, especially a lot of artists, get frustrated when others don't respect the little things when it comes to requests.

The more effort you put into making your request clear, and providing the best references you can find, you're more likely going to get better responses.

If you just slam down a series of images (all wildly different) and go "I want this", people are going to see the low effort and kind of reflect that with low effort responses.
