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.
Oh yeah, and you might noticed vickieito and nomuffinsforyou appear on the buddies list on the Fiverr Chat Lol.

Hi there online buddies! 😊 Great mockup @dannykojima1! How are you doing all this?! I see you posting here and the gallery as well. I love your artwork!

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! 😉 -
@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.

Nice! Do you do a lot of game art @dannykojima1? What type of art do you mostly do?
-
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. 🙂

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,

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
• Resident Evil Village: Shadows of Rose DLC (3rd Person mode) is coming on October 28th, 2022 this year.
Top favorite PC games I'm looking forward for the initial release dates in 2023!
• Hogwarts Legacy - The new Harry Potter game will be coming to both PlayStation 5 and PC around December 2022.
• Starfield is coming around 2023.
Now, I'm looking forward to get No Man's Sky (Steam) and Horizon Forbidden West (on PlayStation 5) when I take a long vacation break from creating art!
Here is my personal top favorite PlayStation 4 and PC games of the year which deserved the PlayStation Award and PC Gamers: Game Of The Year Award.
• The Last Of Us: Remastered (PlayStation 4)
• Horizon Zero Dawn (PlayStation 4 and PC)
• Detroit: Become Human (PlayStation 4 and PC)
• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Nintendo Switch)
• The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PC). -

Currently busy working on some logo tutorial video with Adobe Illustrator CC and planning to upload it on YouTube (unlist as private) for a fellow freelancer, and a friend @vickieito. Well Vickie, you don't have to thanks me for a free design tutorial. I hope one day you can use this skills for your gig if you ever decide to use Adobe Illustrator CC as your next design challenge on Fiverr.
Getting an Adobe Illustrator CC 2022 apps through Adobe Creative Cloud is just only $19.99 (USD), but I'm not sure about the Japanese yen. Since I have never been to Japan. $19.99 seem quite fair price for me. Although I paid $29.99 for the whole Adobe apps from $19.99 when my college ended while back in 2018, so they charged me $29.99 a months which is not bad in my opinion.
With the $29.99 Adobe Creative Cloud plan, you will get:- Adobe Photoshop CC - Great for matte painting, environment concept art design and character concept art, portrait painting, photo editing and some logo (which is not so grate for logo). But Adobe Illustrator CC is the winner for logo design!
- Adobe Illustrator CC - This app give you the power to create high quality and clean logo (with beautiful colors) for company, brand design, brochure design, architect design, PlayStation/Xbox game console or controller concept design with blueprint, retro poster art, auto design, vehicle design blueprint, clothing design and more other design.
- Adobe Dreamweaver CC - CSS and HTML coding for web design.
- Adobe Indesign CC - Copywriting, writing content, design HTML for web, magazine design with creating writing for PDF.
- Adobe Acrobat - Working with all your creative contents into PDF.
- Adobe Media Encoder 2022 - Rendering multiple videos from Adobe Premiere Pro.
- Adobe Premiere Pro - VFX, video editing and animation for short film ready use for your viewers on YouTube.
- Adobe After Effects CC - VFX, animation and some video edition for your web.
- Adobe XD - Design, prototype and share user experience (such as design app website for Google and Apple store for iPhone/Android).
- Adobe Lightroom - The cloud-base photo service mean that you can download and use all stock image for photo editing and retouching. (Not a big fan of photo retouching anyway).
- Adobe Premiere Rush - Create and share your video on Instagram.
- Adobe Fresco - New power with digital oil painting recently released for Windows, Mac and iPad.
- Adobe Animate - A new age for users to create your own cartoon show on YouTube for kids or adult. Like South Park and The Simpsons for example. You can now actually use a webcam for motion facial track for your cartoon character!
- Adobe Audition - Great for audio editing and music editing.
- Adobe InCopy - Collaborate with copywriters and editors (for magazine and article).
- Adobe Character Animator - Animate in real time to create your own cartoon shows on YouTube or create games animation.
If you're going for graphic design such as creating food menu design for restaurant or brochure design. Adobe Illustrator CC is a great program for every designers to create not only art/poste art, but also architecture blueprint, gaming controller blueprint, iPad/iPhone design brand, clothing design, or anything that you can put all your creative in this amazing Adobe Illustrator CC. To be honest, Adobe Illustrator CC is the best program for logo design than Adobe Photoshop CC in my opinion, if you're looking to create character design for games, or environment digital painting photo editing, then Adobe Photoshop is for you. However, I used both Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CC for designing anything.Anyway, I'm only doing this to help out a fellow freelancer. Maybe one day they can do the same to other, mentoring or teaching art, etc.
Here is a Xbox game controller concept I designed with Adobe Illustrator CC 2 months ago. Cool right?

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.

Already bought a PS5 console on Facebook marketplace or eBay? Great, congratulation! Some of these people just bought it from the scalpers, and didn't realized they had wasted $2,000 on the stolen or banned console. And if they don't care about losing a $2,000 from scalpers who sold it to them because some people have a job pay more money $2,000 a months, then good for these people!
This is why I rather went to buy in store rather than ordering a $2,000 gaming console from somebody sold it on Facebook or eBay, and thinking they could rip me off that easily with ridiculous expensive price, more than normal price in electronic stores.
It is like people looking to buying stolen art from NFT thieve who sold cheap price to these people which they took from DeviantArt, but the artwork still has the watermark of the artist's name on it.
Gaming console scalpers and NFT thieves are the opposite worst type the artists and the companies have been dealing with it. Because they are making money off a million of dollars from companies and the artists. Of course, I am so glad DeviantArt are fighting back against NFT thieves. And so the game retailers are fighting back against PS5/Xbox Series scalpers. Of course, the new bills will make it illegal for console scalpers, see for more details from this 2021 articles here.
Whatever you see a cheap graphic cards, items, gaming consoles or a high end gaming PC on eBay or Facebook Marketplace, do not buy it. If you do -- you're just throwing your money away. Well, no one can stop you, because it's your money anyway, right?
And also, I do agreed with PayPal for permanently banned any sellers who had made about $2,000 or $15,000 a weeks on eBay. Just like one guy who had his $15,000 - $20,000 stuck in his PayPal account after PayPal freeze it for investigation on suspicious. He only had PayPal for about 3 years make that much money from eBay, and now accusing PayPal of stealing his money? Seriously? Good for PayPal! Keep fighting back against these scammers. This guy could be one of those scalper, attempted of selling hundred of thousands of gaming console by ripping people off on eBay.
I had my PayPal since 2010, and still active. And yes, PayPal do send me a notice letters once for verify my account and I did. And then they unfreeze my account. Now I can sell art from DeviantArt store and freelancing on Fiverr with no problem. Not all artists are lucky. Some do get their PayPal freeze due to suspicious of gambling, or whatsoever they shouldn't do.
Anyway, the U.S. Democrats need to do something about these bunch of scalpers. They are stealing stealing the sales money from the company and the retailers. I can hope that this will give more easier for regular consumers like myself to purchase a console for our love ones on Christmas and birthday gift. -

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.

Working on the 2D female character Tara Kobayashi illustrator and concept artwork for my new sci-fi "Vanessa: Night City 2070", the future of Blade Runner style art book. The portrait black and white painting of Tara Kobayashi with shadow and lighting rendering turn out to the exact the way I wanted for my sci-fi comic and character artbook. She coming out alive and looking gorgeous just the way I wanted her to be. The hairs, eyebrows and skins already make her looks super gorgeous like the CGI PS5 game trailer.
"Vanessa: Night City 2070" Vol.1 Art Book displaying of all different characters in the future of Los Angeles Night City environments concept art created by Danny Kojima (me) which is inspired by Blade Runner 1980 film.
The introduction of female protagonist in Danny Kojima's sci-fi comic and artbook name Tara Kobayashi who is a 19 years old Japanese-American girl was born and raised in Los Angeles Night City and she lived there for her whole life. Tara ran away from home after her step-father sexually abusing her as her mother stood there by his side watching him beating her.
Living on the street as a prostitute for long 7 years, she finally found someone who came into her life who care for her the most.
Tara Kobayashi was born on September 22, 2052 and grew up in Los Angeles Night City in 2071. She never get a chance to see her father's native country, Japan where he immigrated and bring her into the United States with her mother.
This is just my new female character preview cover art working of progress I'm currently working on a new character for my sci-fi art book and the comic. The final artwork will be post once it complete! Can't wait!
A complete portrait painting of Tara Kobayashi character along with her full body wearing different clothing will be coming to Deviant Art, Artstation and available on Behance which is owned by Adobe.

And you probably wonder why many artists are angered by Deviant Art new looks started back in 2020.
Even with the new Grand Theft Auto: The Definitive Edition -- I haven't played the game and have no time to try it it. Personally, I preferred the original and classic version of Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas than the remastered version. Sorry Rockstar Games, I guess I will skip this game for now.
