Hello everyone!

My name is Daria and I'm an artist from Poland.
My biggest passion is symbolic art and illustrations, I'm also a graphic designer and an art teacher, graduated in Game Design (Silesian University). It would be hard to list everything I do with visual art, I'm always hungry for knowledge, constantly trying new stuff and possibilities. I develop as a therapist using colors, composition and texture to communicate with unconscious mind.

I'm crazy about plants! Gardening is my new big hobby although I don't have any real land yet but more than 50 flowerpots are all around my flat and balcony, including strawberries, tomatoes, a lemon tree and my oldest friend - a fifteen years old cactus 🌵
In my spare time I enjoy cooking healthy vegan meals and share them with people around me to promote balanced diet based on plants because sharing food is like sharing love 🌿

I have probably more hobbies and interests than time for every each of them. I try to read a lot of books and to write articles. I craft some jewellery, I make tattoos, I do some yoga and I learn about psychology, astrology and fitotherapy 🌻
I'm a photomodel and a photographer without a proper camera.
I'm into eco-housing and permaculture, I do massages and I absolutely love to talk with people.

Why am I here?

My dear friend @deepresearch invited me here and told me about the Hive community. I was astonished to discover places like this actually exist, so here I am!

  • I'd like to share my art here and write articles about techniques, color-psychology and other related topics
  • Also I want to post about garden and impart my experience with growing flowers, fruits and vegetables (and possibly some nice recipes also)
  • Eventually, but just as important, I hope to learn about cryptocurrencies and blockchain, which is absolutely new to me at this point

I would be very thankful for your tips, ideas and any feedback which could help me improve my content and my communication :) Thank you for your time and have a fantastic day! 🌼

Wow your art looks incredible!
Welcome to the blockchain - as you say you are new to this stuff.. there’s lots to learn and understand, but even people like me (a video guy) can get a grip on things by reading and interacting with people here.
But it’s not entirely what HIVE is about.
For me it’s about finding your community (what ever interest that might be) and writing about what you are about and sharing it.
The crypto side of things is a sweet bonus but just think of it as a neat platform to talk. :)

Enjoy and my advice is to engage and explore!

Thank you! :) as you said, I hope to find nice community here. What's most important for me is a content quality and I think people here rather care about that too.
Good day to you 🌼

Beautiful artwork, I’m eager to see more! You remind me of a good friend who is also a plant fanatic and yoga instructor.

Trying to give any general advice or pointers, it’s tough to know where to start! Just be engaging and authentic and you’ll do fine. If you do come across any specific technical and other questions as you explore, don’t hesitate to ask though.

I delegated you a small amount of “Hive Power” to get you through this first week, otherwise the amount of comments and interactions you can make would be very limited. Your first post is doing well! Once it pays out in a week, you’ll be set up just fine for the future. Take care!

Thank you a lot for support 🙏
Yeah I hope everything will clarify itself in the next days or weeks, so far so good :)

You are pretty talented with the art and the yoga. Cute glasses. Welcome.

Thanks! ☺️

Leia, you're my only hope.

Hi, thank you a lot for tips and for good energy, everything the best for you :)

Hey welcome to hive, great artwork, love it! :)

Hi! Thank you :)

Welcome to the Hive, keep on hiving 😊

Hello :) good to be here

Welcome to the Hive community @leaiothake!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions to consider:

  1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
  2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, keychain and Hivelock,
  3. The master password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
  4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
  5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and
    be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own
    .
  6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
  7. Do Not open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @brittandjosie and @jamerussell from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Hivians available who can help you; you can click to go to The Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Hiving!

Welcome to the Hive 😊

Hello :) Good to be here

Hi. Welcome to Hive!
I also love gardening and vegan food. Your artworks are just amazing! I will follow you with pleasure.
Have a nice day :)

Hello :)
Thank you very much, I see you post also about herbs, I follow you back and I'd love to read more of your articles
Good day to you!

witaj, rozgość się :)

(weganka! super 💚)

Dzień dobry, miło tu bardzo, czuję że dłużej zagoszczę :) 🌱💛

Hi, there. Welcome to Hive! ^^
That sounds like a really interesting art journey you have, even though you didn't list every single one of them 😄 I just discovered you from one of your artworks and you just got yourself +1 follower.
Knowing that you graduated in Game Design, I was wondering if you have some experience in the game industry as an artist too?

Hello and thank you a lot :)
Well, I have little experience in game industry but my brother works in game company and sometimes we do some projects together and I have all of the fresh news from industry and I'm quite aware of what quality is in demand.
Game graphics is only a hobby for me atm but I still do sometimes an art projects for games as a freelancer.
What do you want to know exactly? :) I wish I could help

Oooh I'd imagine having such information can be super helpful if you were someone who's looking to get into the game industry as an artist like me.

What do you want to know exactly?

Oh, nothing specific, really. I simply find it pretty cool to hear someone's experience in it ^^

Everything depends on what do you want to do in game industry. A job as a concept artist involves both creativity and skills in quick sketching, coloring and gathering inspirations, also photo-bashing is a common practice. Sometimes a company requires to know basics of 3D modelling and rendering and it's a huge plus if company is developing 3D games.
As an ilustrator f. ex. you have to show absolutely the best skills in painting and there is no space for mistakes. It's much harder than simply to make concepts.
As a 2D graphic, you have to know about design, user experience and of course a mix of skills which helps you to make good quality backgrounds, characters, items, concepts, etc.
As a 2D animator is good to know how Unity engine works, how to deal with bones and classic animation.
Each company has their own target.
It's good to play new games and to get closer to developers communities as they often share progress and ask other developers for advice. You can learn even without making your own game but it's good to start at least a small project :)

It's good to play new games

And they say playing games won't get you anywhere XD
Thank you for the insight! Those sound so tough, especially when competitions are everywhere. But if they are so easy then what's so cool about them, right? Starting a small project sound very, very tempting to me but since I don't know coding yet, I guess I'll learn little by little as I fill my character art portfolio :)

Yes, exactly!
Don't worry about coding. There are more programmers eager to work with graphic artists than vice versa ;) If you have a lot of nice concepts and graphics prepared to imply (and a story, of course) someone definitely will show up to help you with that :)

Welcome to Hive. Love the art!

Hello and thank you :)

Welcome on Hive, Daria!

It seems that combination of your work, knowledge, passions and hobbies suppose to fit perfectly into our blockchain. It is nice to see that this platform is growing into a great place for creative and open minds.

I will add you to my following list because I would like to hear more about color-psychology, which is something completely unknown for me and already raised my curiosity. New vege/vegan recipes are also always welcome :)

pozdróweczki ;)

Hello!

Thanks, it's good to hear that :)
I really enjoy it here and I hope to share some practical knowledge with people.

I see you post some good techno vibes on your page, definitely you have a next follower in me :D

Pozdro!

pozdro techno!

;-)

Hello and welcome to Hive Daria! Such great interests, and you're undoubtedly good at them. I'm sure you'll quickly find a home here at Hive. Best of luck and enjoy the platform. 😊

Welcome, your art looks great.
You should check out @elindos's Exode, a Hive game which is being developed and is contracting artists on Hive.

Hello!
Thanks, I'll definitely check it out :)

Hey 😀

Witaj na hive i powodzenia 😉

Cześć, dzięki! :D

Hello Daria and welcome to Give!:)

It sure looks as if you have a lot of high-in-demand skills around here, so I'm sure you'll be finding success!

As for tips, I think mine would be to focus on counting new good relationships made on the platform rather than the number of upvotes etc. It's more than just a social media platform, but also a community with joint-ownership in the platform, so people tend to be more supportive of those that take the time to get to know them.

Anyways, I look forward to seeing what you'll be sharing and to get to know you:)

Hello :)

Yes, I think you're absolutely right, I'm quite astonished by amount of creative people here and I really hope to be a part of community. I escaped Facebook mainly because of people and their aggressive stance and here I feel just right.

I wish you an amazing day 🌼

Welcome to Hive! :)

Hello :) good to be here!

Welcome abroad cutie! Nice to meet you! :D
