@yanes94 and I designed a character from scratch for a P2E game called Hashrush on the Ethereum blockchain (and possibly also the NEAR Network), based on real time strategy (RTS), and built by the Vorto Network - which promotes itself as a company that is prioritizing game design first, and blockchain integration second (source).

@yanes94 discovered a contest for new character designs for Hashrush, and since she is an intensely astounding visual artist, and I an exuberant and eloquent writer, we decided to collaborate on the entry in light of an origin story and original artwork being encouraged for the contest. If you like our submission and feel it is superior (detailed below), you can help us by voting on it (links below as well). You must vote on a 1-10 scale for each submission in the contest (10 being the highest), and our submission is regrettably next to last on the list somehow... so we do need support.

The game is about mining funny enough, but its much more cosmic/etheric than that. The graphics also seems far superior to many other blockchain games, which is impressive. When I sat down to write the origin story to pair with the art, a vibe of Dungeons and Dragons hit me pretty hard. The following is said story:

"Volt" comes from the latin root-word "volv", meaning "to roll or turn around". "Ero" - Latin/Polish/Italian means "a particle of something" (in this case matter and time - interdimensional energy shifting). "Envis" (Envision) comes from the Latin "en" meaning "cause to be", and "vision" stemming from the Latin word "visionem" meaning "a thing seen." Finally we have "aetherius" - a Latin/Greek word “of or pertaining to the ether, the sky, or the air or upper air; ethereal”. Together we have Voltero Envisaetherius - which essentially translates to:

"One who turns and manifests particles through etheric vision".

If this entry does not somehow win, I would imagine that the art will make one titan of a summoner for Splinterlands... & if both HR and SPL turn it down on contests, I will help her morph these into her own NFTs. I love this new paradigm of NFTs to further support artists. Endless possibilities, & seemingly no way to loose.

@yanes94 is beyond talented in her craft, and it saddens me to meet humans with such great potential be so limited by the land in which they reside. Venezuela is and has been in a state of neglect for some time, and there is a shortage of all supplies across the board there, along with their currency being devalued. She could not even purchase aloe vera or shea butter lotion from any store to address severe burns she sustained, and ordering from outsider her country is improbable.

There are no Craigslist or Offerup marketplaces available there for used merchandise either. What many of us might take for granite in being able to score any old PC monitor for nothing or next to nothing, in Venezuela there are none available for immediate sale. She had to literally put a special order in for one (nothing special with the monitor itself or anything) and it cost $150 usd to even have a chance at manifesting more completed works, which she could not afford anyway.

When she needed a new monitor, I paid for it. I set @yanes94 as a 50% beneficiary on this post since A - it is a split collaboration between the two of us, and B - because her internet is so terrible she cannot even publish a post about this herself currently. She actually has to pay for two separate internet services just to have a chance at working data, one sometimes works at night, and the other sometimes works during the day... one never works for both (and the fees are nuts). None of this is her fault.

@Yanes94's winning album art Submission to my contest/project:

Also if you are not aware, this insanely talented homegirl won my album art contest for the top prize of 500 Hive, not because I felt for her situation, but because she unequivocally submitted the best design. Furthermore, she created an additional two designs that are equally impressive without me even asking for them. She is about done with design #3 (will be posting about these soon also), and I am turning the 3 images into one-frame 11x17 lenticular flip posters for my album. I am tipping her additional amounts for polishing these final two designs for me.

She is not looking for handouts (although throwing tips/donations her way would certainly help), and she did not ask me to write this segment, but if there is anything within your power you can think of that can help this more than deserving creative human in an synergistic way, please do not hesitate. I have direct contact with her, so you can reach her through me if all else fails. She is VERY open to custom commissions, and has a knack for coming up with personalized design details that are sure to leave your panties wet (pardon the expression). Just look at her portfolio on her @yanes94 Hive blog and scroll around to see for yourself. She's got versatile styles.

The Game & How to Help

If you would like to dive into more of what Hashrush has to offer as a P2E blockchain game (and in general), I would highly recommend checking out their prolific, expansive, and extremely visually pleasing whitepaper by clicking here.
