Hey, I read your message about my post. I'm also honestly surprised why I was on the leaderboard. Anyways, you mentioned why the curation is low and here's what I thought.
Right now, the hive price is really low because of all the FTX issue. Crypto all around is too low and that's why the curation overall is low as well. Once bitcoin goes up, the value of all coins increases and that includes the curation value as well.
In terms of drawing, I would say that your lines are better than mine but I think you cut off a lot in the designs. The necklace is missing, the boots are missing, etc. Same as the Javelin thrower, the rope on the spear changed, the gloves are missing. When I do a fan art, I try to add as much of the design as I could unless it's impossible on my current skill level like that Prince Julian staff glow thingy.
That's just my personal critique. However, Among all the works I've seen, I like your shieldbearer best because all the details are there. Shows that you really cared for the original artist's intent
And the other one is the haunted spider but that's because your background is awesome. I'm bad at backgrounds so that kind of gave me some inspiration.
Any case, it's just my preference and opinion. I hope your new business become successful and hope to see your works when you come back.
yahhh, its ok not to win. but i wish to be curated better too. hahaha, the only difference between my art and all of you(winner's) art is air brush(yours) and digital painting(the other winner). hahaha tried doing it using my mouse but it just hurting my wrist.
im a logo designer at my day job. i dont really the skill for painting like you guys do. hahaha
look at this, its even far from the originals.
but they've been curated almost 30 hive. hahaha
These are old and consistent participants. Don't be discouraged.
They might have experienced what you are experiencing while they are starting but they keep on pushing until today.
Don't be jealous of them, instead, let them be your inspiration. While we are seeing their rewards and attention they are getting now, let us not forgot that they might also have passed through a gruesome journey before. 😊
Don't lose focus! Focus on your work instead on the reward of others. 🙂
thanks man, this really encourage me.
I should really remember why I started doing arts.
It is really a bit discouraging when sometimes when we feel that we are not rewarded "equally" as compared to others, but that is real life. And life is not fair. 😊
Btw, I read you are a logo designer? I might need one or two logos in the future. Is there a way I can contact you through discord? I want to see some of your previous logo works. 😉
