Hey guys, this here's Hive account@overkillcoin. I'm a silly little dolphin stumbling through life and trying to find my place. When I first joined Steemit, I was afraid to invest a lot of time and effort, so my posts were a little lame. Then for a few months I heavily invested time and effort in illustration. I need to admit though, art and illustration are fun, but they're not my core skill set or my passion.
An illustration can take 4 - 5 hours. An animated gif can be 10+ hours depending on the complexity. Why not take this time and re-calibrate it to serve my best ability - storytelling?
What is my strong point? What makes me unique?
...A question everyone should be asking themselves on social media. If you can't stand out, then it's going to be tough. I'll be honest, my art's not the best, not by a long shot. Daily I see VERY talented artists and without my insane sense of humour, I doubt I could even begin to compete with them.
NEW PLAN: FOCUS ON COMICAL ANIMATION
Animation can be a time-consuming nightmare, so I'll need to continually find short cuts and keep my style simple. I want to be a story teller and humorist above all else. So, moving forward I'm planning to focus on animating. I will do my best to upload in segments so you, my viewers, can see that I'm still an active member! I really hope this works out, so thanks to all my supporters!
Some characters from my upcoming animation
You guessed it! I'll have a hysterical - *I mean historical*
- reenactment as well as complete randomness! My quality assurance team seems to think it's FUNNIER than the last one!
Recommended tool: *Full Page Screen Capture*
When I created my *Spam Rant*, I needed to capture the entire image of my animated banner post. I was trying to do this manually, but it was a serious pain. Not just time, but hassle and soforth.
So I ended up using a Chrome extension called, "Full Page Screen Capture" - it worked like a dream! Incredibly time-saving way to turn lengthy Steemit posts into an image. If you want to try it, I've linked it below:
Thank you for your support!
