First Post: My Re-Emergence into the Hive
Hello, busy bees! I've finally made my first post on the Hive. I was one of those who eagerly awaited its launch, right after the announcement of this Steem fork's creation back in March. So, I've been on here since the start, reading, upvoting, and commenting here and there. But, as usual, I was too busy with work to create anything to post here.
Now, With all the crazy things happening all over the world when the pandemic began, the likelihood of suddenly losing our jobs seemed too real to just shake off and dismiss as a paranoid idea. It became one of our biggest fears, right next to contracting the disease and dying from it. At the same time, the thought of having to leave Steemit to look for another similar blogging platform made things a bit more uneasy for me.
Steemit, for me, has always been the backup income generator to fall back on, in case things go south in the employment aspect of my life. But, thankfully, the announcement of a Steem fork known as "Hive", filled me with hope. Plus, our fears were quickly quelled by our bosses' reassurances that they wouldn't cease production, and we still have our jobs up to now.
And, just right before all that fighting and drama that led to the creation of the Hive, I was about to start creating my own branding, you know, logos and stuff to decorate my Steemit blogs with, just in case blogging (and vlogging) would turn into my main source of livelihood.
But with Steemit now a sinking ship that many are abandoning, it suddenly dawned on me that all that stuff that I had planned and designed, wouldn't look right for my new existence here in the Hive. A total re-design needed to be done.
Since I am still quite busy with my job to devote more time and effort on it, I thought that the best way to get my creativity fired up for the new challenge of creating new designs for my reincarnation here, would be to play with existing Hive designs and concepts. And what's the best way to find out what's good and what's not? I'll post them all here for you to see and even download too.
So, these are some of the artworks I've made to get warmed-up for the task. I've got tons of ideas that I would like to snatch from out of head and give life to and put out here, and this is just the start. I hope you'll like them.
A Sneak Peek of a WIP
And here is a test render of diamonds I modeled in Blender. It is a part of another thing I am modeling, a special something for a special someone. Whoa, now wait a minute there, peeps! This isn't what you think it is. It's not for a ring I want to slip into someone's finger. 😅 😂
I am making a 3D model of something that is encrusted with rhinestones, but instead of those rhinestones, I decided to put diamonds for a better effect. You will see the finished artwork soon as it's something I've been itching to finish asap and post here on the Hive.
That's all for now, and thank you for reading. And if you liked what I've shared, please vote, comment, and share this with others.
