Posted in Last recolors of event are items are outt
Posted 7 years ago
Struggling so hard to try and scrape together enough currency to buy all the recolours, since I totally poofed for like half the event. xD I have impeccable timing when it comes to MISSING THINGS

Dude, that's an awesome idea! Would you mind if I / others recolour them to fit profile / signature / aesthetic themes and such? o:

Well sheeet that's certainly something to be proud of!! I love grabbing big steals like that. Can't say it's really happened lately, but I've gotten an employee discount a couple of times at places I never worked, because the cashier was either a friend or thought I was cool. xD Little things like that can definitely brighten your whole day!
Posted in Do you have a morning/evening ritual?
Posted 7 years ago
Depending on whether or not I'm working, I'll wake up between 6-7, sometimes sleep in later towards 8 but that doesn't happen often. The dogs get their breakfast at 8, and after that I typically walk them to let them do their business, but sometimes I'll be lazy and just let them out into the yard to do their own thing.
If I'm feeling really zealous, I'll tidy up the house a bit--usually wash the dishes leftover from yesterday or throw in a load of laundry. Otherwise, I'll hop right on my laptop or the vidya games and spend however long I have there until I have to go to work or do something else.
When I come home from work, I take off my uniform, have a 'smoke break', and usually have dinner at some point before popping in a movie and falling asleep. xD I'm already an old person q-q

Posted in Mornings...Bah Humbug
Posted 7 years ago
Most of the time, I enjoy mornings. They're full of opportunity and a sense of renewal; but if my morning goes bad, then the rest of my day will probably follow suit. c':

@Addy: I keep telling myself THIS WEEK WILL BE THE WEEK! but then I push it off, get distracted, etc etc and WHOOPS another 7 days have passed. xD I almost feel like a character in Skyrim. c':
Dude, I HATE when rewards don't show up! I did a public event with some friends and our chest never showed up. I was slightly mad but we all had a pretty good laugh about it too. xD It's honestly only ever happened once, though.

@Addy: It's not Patreon, but that is definitely another good one, for as you said it can at least be a little tip jar to help pay for gas or materials or whatever. It's frustrating the heck out of me that I can't remember what this site was! Ah, well. I'm sure I'll either come across it again or remember randomly. xD

Posted in Event Roundup: Autumn Block Party Feedback

Honestly, I thought Voltra's first Mini Event was a tremendous success. I think the idea of releasing more recolours as thread milestones was a brilliant idea, and a great way to get people who are otherwise a bit less chatty, to become more involved in the forums. Having the NPCs host different contests was a wonderful idea as well!
The only thing I might suggest for the future is for any contests involving art pieces (not necessarily the item design suggestions) to run a little longer than two weeks. Maybe three weeks? Though it'd cease to be a mini-event, most likely. oTL I know plenty of people fared perfectly fine within the time limit to get everything done and sent in, but it felt like there were a lot of things to crunch into two weeks. ^-^;
I'm a major lurker but managed to grab most of the items without too much trouble. I should be able to grab the last two or three before they're pulled from the shops as well. ^-^

If you're really serious about pursuing art as a means of sustenance, then it's honestly good to have a job as a safety net in the beginning. There are sites out there like Freelancer that are more catered to artists, but I can't quite remember what they're called. Browse projects, see what other people are selling / bidding, and ask yourself, 'do I know what to charge for my product?' 'Will the time / materials involved be worth it?' 'Can I keep up with demand if this item becomes popular?' etc etc. Several websites also let you upload pre-made graphics, vectors, designs, photos, etc. that others can download for a flat fee -- it can take a while for these things to catch on, but in the end, a clever product could become popular and end up as a steady source of income, even if it's only a few bucks.
I'm only throwing examples out there because nobody can tell you what path to take, but, if you really want to live as an artist, I say go for it. And I also say save up for 6 months to a year beforehand, if you can. Just in case.

@Addy: Definitely! Once again I didn't make it to the Nightfall before the reset x_x but, one of these days, dammit. ONE OF THESE DAYS!! I just realised that the 'high' must have worn off as I haven't really been playing it obsessively for the past week. o: Been too concerned with gathering all the items on Voltra and Saph I guess. xD

@Another Movie Addict: Very true! As a matter of fact, I can remember arguing about the Hex sisters with my cousin as a kid, now that you bring that up. c':

@Addy: I'd love to see the Sparrow Races come back! All in all I'm excited for the events and DLC, seeing as how the first game was already spectacular and the sequel is already blowing away my expectations. xD

@Addy: THAT is precisely what I'm talking about!! Gosh I miss that and the dodge (for hunters) so much when I go back to D1. It seems like the sparrows handle a bit differently, too.
