      Hi @shakibgra. I think you may have confusing me as Fiverr staff, but I'm just a buyer on Fiverr Forum.

      I just checked your gigs and there is something wrong in your description which doesn't make sense to me, but there are problem with your gigs description when you put "Why Choose Us", are you working alone or are there any whole team are working with you?

      Anyway, I suggest it better to do some research on the forum and ask the sellers for the tips on the forum. Maybe someone may help give you a correct answer. Sorry, I can't help you with this since I don't really spend a lot of times on the forum.

  3. Yesterday, I purchased Adobe's Creative Cloud All Apps subscription for only $29.99/month for the first year (normally it’s $55/month)!

    I immediately downloaded Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, Animate, & Audition. These apps will help me with the design work that I do to create forms, resumes, ebooks, presentations, ecourses, and short videos.

    I’m so excited that I can finally learn how to use these Adobe products! Up until now I have been limping along using MS Office programs, Canva, and a smorgasbord of “free” apps on a variety of devices to do all of my design and videos for my Fiverr projects.

    I need to spend less time on the forum and more time learning these Adobe products! 😅

      That's awesome news, vickieito! Adobe also charges me $29.99/months for all the apps as well, excepted Adobe Substance 3D apps I have to spend $249 on Steam instead of monthly payment via Adobe Creative Cloud.

  4. This message is for @dannykojima1 again, because I'm post limited so I can only do status updates on my own profile, but not yours!

    Here's what I tried to post on your status update with the fun WWE style Fiverr logo:

    How fun! You're so creative @dannykojima1!

    What would your ring name and signature moves be if you were a pro wrestler on the Fiverr marketplace? I guess since I proofread I could be the "Red Pen Scrutinizer" or simply "The Scrutinizer." And my signature moves could be the "Eraser" or "Mark Up." 😂 I'm not too creative with names!

      Hi @vickieito. I have not watch WWE (since the WWF World Wrestling Federation) in 1999 until I stopped watching while back in 2002 after my high school graduation, where I started college year. I'm not sure what my ring name would be if I was a pro-wrestler. Maybe jsut Danny? Funny, today I was thinking to add your name in the Fiverr 2023: The Money In The Bank logo I was working on it. I think you and few other Level 2 sellers would be great my favorite top level sellers I would one day order some of the creative writing content from you guys for my comic one day. 😉

      About the signature moves, I'm not sure I have one yet. [Still thinking about one moves]
       
      I don't know why it won't let you post on my profile status. Weird. 😞

  5. It would be nice if Fiverr give us the option to invite our fellow sellers/buyers to watch movie together whenever we host a room in virtual theater in Oculus Quest 2 (VR). This mean you will have to bring your own popcorn, because I might have mine ready for it.

      Oh, and just for a warning: Don't make me mute you in virtual movie theater. 😁 So, hush...

  6. ☀️Happy Summer Solstice! 😎

    Yesterday was the hottest day of the year in Japan!

    More hot (and humid) days to come!

      The temperature will reach 101 coming this Sunday, so California is going bone dry soon. 

  7. We have a lot in common @dannykojima1! I think we were in 4th grade the same time and I wear hearing aids too (since I was 4). The last time I checked my ears I had moderately-severe hearing loss in both ears (but that was 10 years ago). I noticed my ears have been getting pretty bad over the past year, so that's one reason why I've switched from teaching English to Fiverr. It's a lot less stressful.

      "So I have gone to the audiologists, but I don't think they like working with me because my Japanese is so limited". That's not good, this is why I'm glad I don't live in Japan. I... I mean no offend. But living in the U.S. is nice, because I'm glad to know that there are still some good people like the audiologists and doctors from the hospital near my place take good care of their patients, even during hearing test.

      @vickieito, I went back to re-read my comment replied I didn't realized I typed "that it is indeed a lot stressful on here". I mean, it is indeed a lot less stressful on Fiverr. LOL. I am so sorry about that. I guess that's why I type way too fast and mess up my grammar! 😂

      Sorry... [Bow]

      It's never too late to learn ASL, @vickieito! It's weird being a hard-of-hearing kid grew up around the deaf community, I have never thought I was put in this school by my parents. When I first goes to kindergarten class with other deaf kids, I didn't know what was going on. While on the yellow school bus, 2 other deaf kids thought it would be funny to teach me a middle finger sign language during school bus riding on the way home. I was only 6 at the time. Once I turned 10 and moved to Sacramento from Yuba City in 1992, I realized these kids taught me the sign language was bad and I'm glad I never used it on other deaf kid.

      There is no shame to wear hearing-aids. I remember while back in high school during 1999, I met the very same (Vietnamese) kid went to same school with me in Caleb Greenwood Elementary School in 1993. He was too embarrassing to hang out with deaf kids and wearing a hearing-aid. I saw him take off his left hearing-aid and put in his pocket pant before entering the classroom. That was high school year 6 years after we were split from Caleb Greenwood. He didn't recognized me when I saw him walking right pass when he take off his hearing-aids. It just sad for me to see him embarrassed like that to be honest. I'm not quite sure what was his reasons for doing that. Maybe he didn't want his friend to know he was hard-of-hearing? Or wearing a hearing-aid? I don't know. To be honest, I'm glad I didn't have to meet him again because he was always a rude kid and arrogant.

      Most audiologists at Kaiser Permanente Hospital I went to are very nice person. While back in 2018, when I finally got my new (Oticon Bluetooth hearing-aids) from a blonde lady, when she put a hearing-aids on both of my ears after the hearing test. A friend sat there and she saw the audiologist have some tears in her eyes when she asked me if I could hear it. I said "yes" she then wiped her tears. I can tell she was very happy. This really brings joy to me and I can now finally have hearing-aids again after 14 years.

      I used some ASL and ESL mixed, because ASL still little bit new to me. But I'm still learning from YouTube. 🙂

  10. Tackles NFT art thieves: DeviantArt is now combating stolen art on NFT. Now, this is great news for all artists on DeviantArt; especially those who are pay Core and Pro members. You may read more on DeviantArt for details here.

      dannykojima1

      I have many of my art stolen on NFT for many times where the thieves try to sell it on Amazon (with their clothing brands) and on Walmart. However, I'm glad I created DMCA to take action and Walmart took it down. Of course, it work if you are already a paid Core or Pro member.

      You may use this link to fill out a DMCA form to take action on OpenSea.

      Nice to know I'm not the only person on Fiverr wearing both hearing-aids, @vickieito. I lost both my hearing while back in 1987 just after I started Kindergarten. But my ears doesn't feel pain at all. Have you check up with audiologist for the hearing test? I did that once a year with a friend (I mentioned on your post). She used to be my former 3rd grade teacher, and we still staying in touch after haven't seen each others since 1995 when she left Caleb Greenwood Elementary School (at the the I was in 4th grade). And yes, I was upset after not seeing her at my school again.

      Have you by any chance learning E.S.L. (English Sign Language) with other deaf kids like I did? Well, now I have to study A.S.L. (American Sign Language) because ESL is pretty much outdated since the 90's. That's why I need to relearn the new A.S.L. all over again.

      Well, I'm glad to read that you finally found teaching English on Fiverr. And I do agree with you that it is indeed a lot stressful on here. 🙂

      Hi @vickieito! Yes, I enjoy creating game fanart for the fans to enjoy collect them, sometime the private client will commission me to create game character art for them for personal use for their game blog and vlog, etc. I most likely focusing on creating retro pin-up art and comic characters art for my story.

      Oh, and sometime I will just paint a portrait of Facebook friends and make them looks retro with big hairstyle, clothing and create them wearing sunglasses. 🙂

  13. Talking about gaming when I wanted to take a break from creating art. These are my top favorites  PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, including PC games I've played. I'm also looking forward to the new games coming on fall 2022 and 2023! However, I was not a big fan of online multiplayer, PvP game or whatever you called it. Because I felt that online game is a waste of time, and it take my hours away from my art. 

    I just couldn't spend more than 2 hours in online. I'm the guy who enjoy the single player games, so I hate that word to be honest. I'm more of the casual gamer. I don't like spending too much hours gaming, but single player (storyline) is my favorite games, feel like I'm watching movie!

    Top favorite PlayStation 4 games I've played in 2020 so far.
    Red Dead Redemption 2 (Story Mode). I never got the time for online anyway, and I hate the online version to be honest.
    • The Last Of Us: Remastered - My all time favorite survival horror game of all time!
    • The Last Of Us Part 2
    • Horizon Zero Dawn
    • Detroit: Become Human
    • Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
    • Uncharted: The Lost Legacy - 
    Oh, I almost forgot... This game and the A Thief's End will be coming to Steam and Epic Games this year.

    Top upcoming PlayStation 5 games I'm looking forward to it!
    The Last Of Us Part 1 (Remake) coming on September 2, 2022. Also Sony announced that the PC version is currently in development. So PC gamers are in luck, unlike the PlayStation 4 users who are not going to be able to put their hands on the new game since it only coming to PlayStation 5 and PC only.

    Top favorites PC games on Steam and Epic Games.
    Saint Row (2022) will release on August 23, 2022.
    The Sims 4 series is my all time favorites PC game. I love designing architecture and house. It's a fun game, but I can't put too much times into the game. But I enjoy playing on free times!
    The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
    The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - I freakin' love this game. I enjoy playing this game while back in 2016, and it is such a beautiful game. Of course, I'm looking forward to the remake which is created in Unreal Engine!
    Resident Evil 2 remake version released in 2019. And looking forward to the Resident Evil 4 remake version release on March 24, 2023.
    Planet Coaster - Yes, this game is super fun! I also created my own version of Disney World! And yes, I have bought all of the DLC on Steam for this. Love ithe
    The Last Of Us Part 1 - Didn't I mentioned this remake game is coming to PC? YES, I'm so excited for this game. I believe Naughty Dog will going to use the same combat mechanics from The Last Of Us Part 2 (PlayStation 4) for a remake which make the game more alive than the classic PlayStation 3 version which originally released in 2013. I guess I'll have to buy some issue box too, because this game going to make me cry!
    CyberPunk 2077

  14. Ever wonder what would Fiverr would be like in the 90's when you're still a kid and working as a freelancer on a Windows 3.1x released in 1992? Well, those days were the golden age of these internet and it's now gone 30 years ago.

    Well, I'm also looking forward to create one 1990's version of Facebook and the black and white version of Fiverr after finish some of my art for my DeviantArt store.

      @vickieito, sorry, I almost forgot to mentioned "The Da Vinci" portrait painting. I used Wacom Cintiq 13HD tablet to paint a portrait of Leonardo in Adobe Photoshop CC which took me a year to complete since I have been struggle to catch up with the portrait due to the concept art I have to designed video game characters for the small company claimed they are doing a demo for Bethesda (the creator of Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and Fallout). I find it hard to believe the CEO owner claimed that he has some friends and connections at Microsoft, Ubisoft and EA Games. But his project of the game demo for Bethesda never complete! It's has been 4 years and never completed either.

      It pissed me off that this guy using other artists from ArtStation to create art for him, but I'm glad one artist from ArtStation messaged me on Facebook warning that this guy is a bogus. That's why I left his so-called company. And some artist (who worked for Assassin's Creed and Friday the 13th: The Game) refused to join this guy's company because they knew he was a fraud and a fake. When I used to work with the guy at the time I was an art director, I have to called him to setup the meetings for artists, designers and including him which is important for me to discuss about the game project. And guess what? This guy, keep making an excuses that he was still driving and will call me back when he get home. But never call. Never at once. Then I saw him posting pictures of him with his buddies like he was on a road trip, enjoying the lifestyle right after he told me he was at the hospital!

      It surprised me that he was banned from several Facebook art groups from different admins, because he was spamming the groups about his company is hiring artists. I'm glad I had put him on a blacklist so I can avoid working with people like him in the future.

      Hey there, @vickieito! Very good question. I used Adobe Photoshop CC 2022 and Adobe Illustration CC 2022 (latest updated version for the fun retro technology mockup). And I love creating stuff like that a lot!

      I have been working on both programs since high school while back in early 2000s when my art teacher recommended me to learn new art medium with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator on the Mac G3 before I got a work experience at SacBee, it was my first job there. Since you brought that up, I will be creating mockup products step-by-step for my YouTube channel and teach beginners how to work with both Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CC.

      With the retro AOL mockup designed, believe it or not? I designed a CD from scratch from ground built up, since I couldn't find a CD on Google, because it is impossible for me to remove and replace my mockup design to replace AOL on the CD (lol). So I designed a CD in Adobe Illustrator CC, then copy and paste it in Adobe Photoshop CC. So that's how I design a CD with Photoshop to make the CD artwork looks real as possible.

      With the retro AOL web mockup, I used Adobe Photoshop to designed the templates and the layouts by using many layers and Art Board a lot. Most AOL icons, I used Adobe Illustrator to designs without take it from Google since those image are too blurry! So I rather design it with my own internet icons and symbols graphic image for using in Adobe Photoshop.

      Anyway, since you asked -- from now on, I will be using OBS (Opening Broadcast Studio) screen recording to record my process and will post them on YouTube and post the link on here for you and @nomuffinsforyou, so you both can learns how to work with Photoshop and Illustrator for your designs on Fiverr! 😉

  17. I was trying to post this on @dannykojima1's status update, but it wouldn't let me (on the post that I gave a laughing emoji):

    You're so funny @dannykojima1! And brave. I usually just consider my money wasted because I don't really have the heart to cancel an order even if I haven't gotten what I've paid for. I also choose not to leave reviews at all if I can't give the seller a 5-star review. I have a soft spot for sellers (being one myself) and it hasn't helped me as a buyer. I also don't do well with confrontation. Next time I'll ask you to be my spokesperson!

    By the way, I really enjoy reading your status updates 😊

    1. dannykojima1

      dannykojima1

      Why? Fiverr, why did you do this to vickieito?! Ugh... (Sigh) I thought the same that we are allow to share a friend's status too. 😞

      A spokesperson? Yes please, sign me up! I promise I will try to be nice and won't go all b***hy if the seller isn't trying to cheat you for your money out of the pocket. Haha. 🙂


      Well, of course no one want to waste the money to the shady sellers that trying to overcharge us for extra on revision. I would contact Fiverr C.S. for investigation make sure the seller isn't trying to scam me.

      All my gigs, I only put no revision on the Basic, and Standard, but 3 revision on the Premium. But my buyers are always great to me and never asked for a revision. For now, I just pause all my gigs just for temporarily.

  18. Happy Monday!!!! 

    1. dannykojima1

      dannykojima1

      Happy Monday to you too, vickieito!

  19. Hi there! I'm getting a lot of personal messages from people on the forum, so I just want to let you know that I prefer to chat with you either here on my personal feed or on the forum.

    I'm limited on the number of posts I can make each day, so I prefer not to use private messages unless it's necessary.

    Also, if you send me messages containing your links and requests to buy your gigs, I will consider that spam and will report you. Sorry! I had to report 3 of those messages this morning.

    Thanks! I look forward to chatting with you!

    1. dannykojima1

      dannykojima1

      "If you send me messages containing your links and requests to buy your gigs, I will consider that spam and will report you". Exactly my thought, I have reported a few message from buyers to buy one of their gig which is I find it annoying. There's nothing to feel bad about report the message like that, because I also considered this as a spam. I also received 2 messages from buyer too from January with a PDF files with example of concept art they are looking for artist to create characters for their game. I didn't bother respond to the message after I looked up company via Google to see if this was legitimate or not, but I couldn't find any information about this company appears on the internet.

    2. (See 2 other replies to this status update)

  20. So I had to make a hard decision to closed down my business as seller on Fiverr, but will remain as a buyer instead, since I have been busy creating character concept art for release on ArtStation, and heavily rely on my sales on Deviant Art store. For now, I'm looking forward to hire a writers to write the comic, depend on my budgets.

    However, I will keep posting art updates on here for anyone to enjoy viewing new release of my artwork! And thank you for checking out my art, guys!

    Warm wishes,
    Danny
