Welcome to Gaia! ::

Don't work yourself too hard, Cree. The 90 day "probie" period shouldn't be too bad. I know you got this. I'm sure it'll be nice for you to have a paycheck. Just try to save back a portion of it every time so you have a nest egg in case something unforeseen crops up. I save 10% out of my paycheck each time, and it adds up quickly. Good luck to you.

If I were to go based on my opinions of his level of skill, I may or may not commission him to do art for me since it can be easily told that he is a novice. It's not a bad thing, but to do commissions that early won't get him much support, especially if the art he'll be doing is mostly done through traditional media and/or computer and mouse. His pixel art might capture some attention though, which is why I am partial to my decision. There's a lot of potential, and after seeing his Mini Greater Dog pixel art, I couldn't disagree with that thought.

I'm so sorry to hear about his unfortunate circumstance. Is he a friend of yours? I understand you wanting to help him then. I would tell him that doing pixel art for the majority of his commissions will be a better choice.

How much would he be willing to sell for each commission, if I ever do ask him? As of right now, I don't think I am interested in anyone making art for me, since like Skyro said, I make my own art.

After reading the other post you made on this he's at least charging a fair price for the level of work he's doing. If pixel art is his strong suit then as his friend, if I were you, I'd advise him to practice and hone that skill so he can improve and be able to get more per piece. Right now his page doesn't give a good idea of what his main focus is. If he's looking for a good digital art program that won't cost him an arm and a leg that will help him with his art Gimp is still free to download and use.

Well all my work gone to waste. Thanks a lot Gaia. I don't even know if I should bother attempting a thread for this "event" or not. I spent a lot of good money on items to use as prizes for what I surely thought was going to be a great event and instead we get a glorified Kickstarter where we dump items for old achievements and possibly a half assed chance egg.

Did you look at the comic they put out? Diedrich canceled it because of the slimes. So as of right now it sure looks that way.

I like Diedrich. Storywise I can blame him. But real world? This is the work of lazy ******** devs. ******** this s**t.

Definetly I'm usually not to upset about events but the next ATS I might have to post a complaint. and ask for a non cutesy straight up honest answer if maybe just maybe after we eliminate the slimes some "resources etc would allow the RO to happen"

And yeah new Kindred is great but EVERY MAIN EVENT HAS HAS A KINDRED COMPONENT it gets old

It's as if they don't want to have any kind of towns pride type events ever again. I asked them if we'd be seeing more towns against towns events and got overlooked. But hey I'm trying to look on the upside of this. I'm playing the new Kindred area with yesterday's $5 Rooster and if I do it right, after dumping ten ally pots on him, he's a freaking one hit powerhouse. I may have to pot myself up to some high levels in order to be able to handle this funky chicken.
