My name is Ankus Kumar. I studied at an art school in India for a long time, and I can create beautiful paintings. I have loved art deeply since childhood. When I was studying at an art college in India, I first heard about Hive blogs.
One of my Indian friends used to post on Hive. I saw him sharing his artwork and talking about himself. He also posted about his gaming experiences. He told me about Hive back in 2018, but at that time, I didn’t pay much attention to it. Last year, I noticed that my friend is now a regular Hive user, and he has built a strong presence there. Initially, he used to rely on others for votes, but now, he supports many others by giving them upvotes.
Now, I understand that Hive blockchain is a truly great platform with excellent rules and a supportive community. That’s why, after all these years, I have finally decided to publish my first post on Hive.
Splinterlands Art Contest Week 339
I'm participating in the Splinterlands Art Contest Week 339 with my first post! Participants in this contest create artwork based on various characters from the Splinterlands game.This is a great opportunity for artists!
My Passion for Art
Since I am an art college student, all my posts will primarily focus on art. However, over time, I will also share more about myself and my experiences.
Let me share an interesting incident from my art college days. When I first joined, there was a fresher’s welcome event. The seniors assigned the new students the task of creating artistic decorations for the college campus. I painted beautiful artworks on the walls and streets in my own unique style. That was my breakthrough moment! From then on, I never had to look back. Everyone recognized me by name, and my work earned me a lot of appreciation and love.
Even though I was not from their country, my friends valued me a lot. While my studies were focused on traditional art, our college did not offer digital art lessons. However, I took it upon myself to learn digital art, especially Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, entirely through YouTube tutorials. Today, I create high-quality digital artwork and even earn money online through my art.
My Splinterlands Art
The art I created today is inspired by Qid Yuff (Rare Fire Summoner), a character from the Splinterlands game.
I am particularly passionate about reworking art and designs. I love modifying existing artwork or designs using Photoshop and Illustrator. Whether it's changing elements, re-adding details, or performing cutting and pasting, I experiment with various techniques.
