@Keturah: the remaining art mentors that I chose to trust have mellow down when critiquing my work over the years. Well you would understand too when you tried helping multiple artists. At some point I use discernment to decide if I need to go all out or not. Same goes for my mentors too. Like they do, theres stuff I cant help with. It does make my art circle much smaller than before. It didnt mind me not having many friends online and irl in the process.

Especially in covid era I would give people the benefit of the doubt cos everyone's on the edge cos they cant go out. System has been wack due to the virus interference to processing of the old. I'm certain that after covid is over, people online will be relax. . They'll be back to normal selves.. prolly most of them.

I'm mostly working for illustrations when there is an event. Otherwise, I'm giving pixelist some design ideas for new pixel items. You might see staff names when theres new item release. They credit who made them.

@Kreatura: good to see ya having the event items ouo

It's okay to get extras from the game before it's gone. You can sell those for more volts or ohms that way.

@Kreatura: oh heya welcome to voltra! Ouo

I dont really use my Instagram as means to get more followers these days. I tried but, I prefer to focus on other things and yeaa.. I never market my art the proper way.

Maybe one day I will advertise myself better..

@Keturah:
I'm currently being guided by a couple of trusted people where one of them is a self study artist. I have a long history about my coping to the approach of art fundamentals. Had many different mentors, had many hiatus till I finally come back with some small improvements (more on observing my mistakes when grinding).

Believe it or not, there are skills that you can learn from doing other things unrelated to art that helps learning better. The more I dive into the grind, the appreciative I am to the artists of the past who does art to survive by doing multiple skills from paper to sculpting in which is something everyone are competing over for gaining identities. But that was all in the past. Art in modern times has a different symbolism. Despite all that, I wish that people would appreciate how the fundamentals was design and proven that these ideas exist to make art look pleasing while they go out of their way making new wave of art evolution. Time can only tell until there will another einstein of art later to the next decade.

So going back on why I insist on taking animation class despite I can self study, there is something from participating in class work that will help me gain more skills/techniques to learn art in a certain way. If I have given opportunity to have myself funded my basic monthly needs while I study animation, I would take that offer.

@Keturah:
i didnt have the opportunity to get into animation class. I do want to though. aside that its going to pull a lot of savings just for a bachelor degree, im not sure if its wise for me to study it as my first career. besides that my parents back then didnt think about art as a good primary source of survival back then so they didnt push my indecisiveness.

Im currently working as a developer in an IT company. Its a contract tho but it has so much stuff that is related to my uni studies. Even as it stands now, I cant go to a full time animation class. There is no such thing as part time in the local place and also there is no evening animation class. I just hope that covid era will make them realised that they needed a different approach of learning animation class.

i wanted to learn animation for various reasons. one of them is to help me self learn to improve my art through a guidance of art mentors. second is to create my own comic through the animation fundamental practise, lastly is to get into the entertainment industry.. whatever the job in there, i wanted to participate in any story formation projects to be created into cgi/ people film etc. that is pretty much my second dream job.

@Keturah: heya welcome to voltra!

awesome you can animate!!! i wish i be able to do that also. sadly, im now working as a major part of paying the rent/basic necessities. As much as i want to do it, nobody can replace me to cover the needs. I do save some money. i dont have the time to go to day classes. Online courses are a bit too much for me to do homework with (while at work, im still to this day need to learn new stuff)

sometimes it be nice if i have a partner to support my animation studies. i guess its not gonna happen any time this decade.

@vawnilla:
each month, voltra release a new pixel item called crate items. these crates can be bought by purchasing Ohms currency (thats donating money USD to voltra in Donate page)

each one crate can use up to 2 poses. one crate on the actual shops costs 250 ohms but if you have enough volts, you can buy them from other peeps who have extras in exchange thread. theyre usually 5k a pop (except rare crate item, theyre usually around 12k-15k volts)

@SuperZombiePotatoe:
