Why lying about your skills will never work
dannykojima1 replied to smashradio's topic in Tips from Sellers
With a creative artistic skills, sure it is that not easy as most people thinks, I mean... those who wanted to make money with art, especially commission. I have been creating art for private commissions for several musicians over the years since 2012, I can tell you how much painful this must be to create realistic illustration as possible for the clients for their music cover which have me spent a month to complete the illustration for the album of their model, and put me a lot of pressure which force me quit creating art for the music industry. In the artworld of drawing character design, you have to understand how the human figure anatomy work through human figure drawing. Back in the 90's before YouTube when I was 8, I have to trained myself drawing my favorite Street Fighters character Ryu, Ken and Guile. Of course, I spend the day to night on the weekend studying the body of Street Fighters characters I re-drawing and drawing over and over in my studying. It took 27 years for me to master the work of art, but of course, this doesn't mean the drawing skills will stay with us, which mean we will lose our drawing ability if we stopped drawing for month or year! For now decided to quit as a seller/freelancer on Fiverr. So I'm now only remain as a buyer hope to searching for any writers who has a creative skills I can hire for my comic and magazine through sci-fi and fantasy art, because I have too many art business I have to take care which I'm currently heavily relying on Deviant Art sales and ArtStation, Facebook business page instead of looking for future freelancer work on Fiverr. But of course, for now -- I'm just a buyer. Not a freelancer anymore. Anyway, I'm still feel very new to Fiverr as a buyer which I'm pretty much done as a freelance artist as I made a post on my status. Well, I guess I will have to search around the forum for some tips on how I can create job through Buyer Request for any available freelance writers out there, someday.- 67 replies

Painting portrait of an Ice Queen who was lay to rest and buried in the ice cave of the snow mountain by the Dwarves. Then she was later given named "Ice Queen of Death" by the village folks because the mountain cave was fell under her curse.
The sadness in her face and her eyes explains it all. With all the angers and suffering inside her by the man she fell in love with.

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,

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.

Hey there! I used to draws a lot with drawing mechanical pencils on large and hard white paper when I was in figure art class which is mean I was drawing live (male or female model) posing in front of me. It's feel good to stayed in an art studio when no one else were there. My former art teacher and I used to have a lot of fun collaboration and work together on a large mural painting of pink rose. I would recommending drawing mechanical pencils on Amazon and they are amazing for clean drawing if you're going for clean and sharp drawing portrait of models. 🙂 The Wacom Intuos touch tablet is pretty good too if you're aiming for graphic design such as illustrator. They are good and cheap which is sold by Wacom on Amazon. I used to bought one of those and gave it away to my art student because she needed it for anime drawing. And now her mom finally got her the Huion drawing tablet brand. I understand what you mean, imagination. Since I have no writing skills like most sellers on Fiverr, but art is my main major career as an artist working with musicians, film director and game developer on dA platform. I first drawing at early age during my childhood way back in the late 80's. Although Fiverr may not much of my career, but I'm more heavily relying on my art sales on Deviant Art. Because Deviant Art gave me more freedom and being my own boss. Deviant Art has their own commission rules when hired by different kind of clients around the world to create art for film, book and music project. On Deviant Art, I can create all different kind of fans' favorite characters art "Master Collection" with NFT protection before release on sales for $1.99 each, so the buyers can pay to downloads each for adding to their collection. Just like people who buy music on Apple Music store, with digital downloads, since nobody wanted to pay a print for $29.99. So I wouldn't have to sit through the computer and work on commission for weeks or month which is really painful. Although the Fantasy and Sci-fi Bundle Master Collection cost $19.99 if they wanted to get it all different kind of super villain or super heroes art character in 4K high resolution. But for now, I'm just taking a break from Fiverr for creating new art release on Deviant Art until the end of this month before I can come back and creating game and comic art for developers on Fiverr. I hope you already had a wonderful thanksgiving celebration with your family and friends, Imagination! 🙂

Adobe Photoshop CC 2022 (Previously Updates from Adobe Creative Cloud). Did you know? With the latest Adobe Photoshop CC 2022 updates from Adobe Creative Cloud, now we can design a web site using Art Board features in Adobe Photoshop CC 2022. Even though, I have no experience in CSS coding, although this give me the opportunity to design an art portfolio with the 90's America Online (AOL) style template, and import the design over to Adobe Indesign CC 2022 and Adobe Dreamweaver CC. So, I only using Adobe Photoshop CC 2022 creating characters concept art & illustrations for game, film and book for clients on Fiverr, Deviant Art and Artstation platforms. I have been paying Adobe Creative Cloud membership with $29.99/months in 2019 after my college ended. Even though I used to paid $19.99/months under student plan with access to all Adobe apps (which is cool!) And I freakin's love it. Unfortunately, the latest Adobe Photoshop CC 2021 and 2022 has a lot of bugs with 3D and Filter Tilt lately. I hope Adobe fix the bug soon when the next Adobe Creative Cloud updates is available. Adobe Illustrator 2022. Adobe Illustrator 2022 is always my favorite software when I used to work as a graphic designer on newspaper at the Sacramento Bee headquarter back in 2001 during my teenage years in high school. I remembered designing an original Xbox logo like crazy with the Adobe Illustrator 9.0. And all my classmates was staring at the screen like they never seen before that Adobe Illustrator could do artwork back then. That was the early 2000s which recommended by my art teacher when I was first introduced to iMac G3. I didn't have any like for computer back then, because I thought computer is just a toy. And won't do me much success in fine art gallery. Although Adobe Illustrator CC 2022, like Adobe Photoshop has comes a long way since the late 80's until to this days technology took over the traditional art world. So I decided to created art with digital painting and illustration with these art programs after bought my first Sony VAIO computer in 2002 after high school graduated. Oh, yes -- I forgot to mentioned, my former boss at The Sacramento Bee wanted me to get an iMac G3 instead of Windows PC, but instead, I ended up buying my first Sony VAIO Windows 2000 with the money I won from an art gallery. I couldn't afford Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator 5.0 and 9.0 version at the time, so my mentor let me borrowed his Adobe CD for creating art. The Adobe price was insanely expensive back in the day when he bought it from Adobe, but never used it anyway. To this days, I never forget and I'm grateful for his being supportive. Adobe Fresco It's feel like an oil paint which is really cool. And of course, this program also available on iPad as well. However, this app also come with all Adobe apps if you're going for a $29.99 plan! Adobe Indesign 2022 (Come with Adobe Creative Cloud) with $29.99/month plan. Like Adobe Illustrator CC 2022! I have used it a few times for creating art magazine cover. And I still learning it! With Adobe Indesign 2022, you can do a lot of stuff such web-design, magazine cover design for PDF etc. Adobe After Effects 2022. Awesome program for creating Twitch game streaming overlays animation with loop. Affinity Photo I never used this program or never heard of it before, but I will check it out soon. Corel Painter 2022 Rebelle 4 Procreate Clip Studio Paint Pro Artweaver 7 ArtRage 6 Yep, I used this program before (with demo version). And it does feel a bit like oil painting, just like Adobe Fresco. But doesn't really give me a feeling like real traditional oil painting I used to worked back in my early days in late 90's. But the software which is really cool, and the tools are not as complicated as Adobe Fresco. Krita TwistedBrush Pro Studio MediBang Paint Pro Black Ink Paintstorm Studio Overall, Deviant Art is now my currently online store I'm relying on the sales of my work. As for Fiverr on the other hand, I'm planning on make a new change on the current gigs to create 2D characters like the Marvel and DC Comics style for now, but mixed with 3D CGI style painting; since creating a realistic painting is a pain in the a**. This art stuff just is killing me and putting me in a lot of pressure since the last two film poster artwork I've done for the clients last two months. And I'm done with this style of art. Let us know which program is your favorite digital tools of used for art, logo and designing on Fiverr. And tell us why did you use it, and what was the best about the program.

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.

I'm surprising Fiverr hasn't add Behance on the list. In fact, Behance website for all artists and designers is owned by Adobe.
