okay cool wow, someone has been helping me kinda understand things but i'm sure it's still going to take a bit, i haven't had much time to read links people have sent me yet either but i will make it more of a priority now..
i don't know the best way to thank people here, thank you to the people that have liked my posts so far~ it was a nice surprise when i checked today!
alright so i'll try to do a proper intro now. i might ramble a bit but i'll try to stay focused, i have adhd and i also just get nervous introducing myself lol
- i do web development (javascript, php, some python, a little bit of other stuff)
- i used to be a camgirl (i learned javascript during that time)
- i never created "content" that i released on any platform until i joined DeSo on November 13, but now that i'm finding places that have methods by which creators are actually able to earn, somehow i now have the dream to be able to just be a content creator. (where web develoment is still creating content, but if i could focus that development onto a particular platform and not for clients, that would be what i would love)
(i have a fansly, i'm not trying to promote it but https://fansly.com/kitty4D - in my bio, if you click read more, i include my bio page on peakd.com - though maybe verification isn't so much a deal here, on DeSo people can rug pull but i guess that's not a thing here!)
also i have other crypto experience. bitcoin, eth, SHIB (where my shibarmy at woof woof lol), gala, solana, I have a Shadowy Super Coder SSC NFT with GenesysGo #SSCDAO...
a friend set me up on DeSo, and told me I should just try making an NFT because it is super easy there. i use photoshop for work stuff and play around with it, but had never made something that i intended to show the world as any kind of artistic expression for sure. i figured i would at least try something out though. i didn't want to just do a total low effort attempt of course. i have an iPad/Pencil combo i also use to draw things if i want and a few other image editing applications besides photoshop. already the only kind of stuff i made that wasn't for work was just editing photos of myself. so that's where i started. i work with photos i took, i look for things i would like to incorporate, if they're from my own photos i might copy/paste and then edit, if they're from other places (and when it's meant as an NFT), i recreate it on my own since i make sure i am very strict about how i treat copyright. then i use all the tools i have to make something that i think is pretty, really.
so when i started on DeSo, all i was doing my first week was creating images to list as NFTs. i could maybe do one a day. a few sold, of course i was putting the bidding under $1, i was just trying to learn what might work if it would work at all.
i did come to find out that individuals just making NFTs like that where it's just a standalone image (no utility) would probably not be worth my time. but i was also interacting with the community and having fun.
i started writing little short stories, blurbs really, about my cat and that my cat was terrorizing me and demanding beer from me. that was fun lol. and well, i'm still not 2 months in to doing it, but the types of content that i guess are in my repertoire now are:
i still make NFTs, though now i make a kinda mocking-NFTs thing where i call it a limited series, every image starts from the same base image (like it's a PFP generative thing) and i draw different traits. the images all look pretty different. and i've sold most of those (now that i have friends in the community that helps). one might be going into space soon too~ which would be so cool.
i make meme images. i do them of people involved with the platform, like the founder, other "public figures" / people who kinda act as spokespeople for the platform. i do images, animated GIFs, and videos (using Vegas Pro).
i still occasionally write stories about my cat, ofc i also post photos of my cats from time to time (those posts tend to do way too well considering the effort i put in my other posts lol)
i write song lyrics and poetry though i have no experience with that really either (or writing short stories for that matter, all of this is new to me). maybe i'll include something i just made down below. it's not serious stuff, as you'll see, and the one i'll include is a bit meme-ish for DeSo so people here won't necessarily get the jokes, but whatever, it's just an example lol
i have nsfw content that i release on a site that integrates with the DeSo blockchain, but where my content does not go on a blockchain, and people can only see it via crypto. i do this with my past webcam broadcasts and i've also recorded some new stuff. (but this is not a job i consider myself still doing, i just have all of my content and i own the rights- i also never considered releasing it since i didn't think it was really possible, so this also started only because of becoming a kinda content creator lol)
i like to think about the blockchain and how things are implemented (i don't know anything about hive yet to know what to question) and i write questions and thoughts about it.
i am building a website now that will run off of data from the DeSo blockchain
i like to help other developers by QAing, i have also given code/CSS to help, and i also love to proofread. (just because i don't capitalize letters and sometimes will write in a silly way in posts, it is because i have almost created a kind of online persona that i find helps me create the content that does well, so i keep it up as much as i can, it sounds weird to me but it's true that it seems to help!)
and i just like to write stuff that i think is funny
anyway certainly i'm going to keep posting, i don't expect anyone to care enough to ask me questions now, though if you do of course i'll reply.
for a REALLY quick and easy and nice way to get a sense of different stuff i make, this website is in development by someone i know on DeSo and it's working great for this purpose - https://gemstori.com/kitty4D - everything there i've posted since november 13th, but keep in mind the standard view only will show image/video posts, and not my text-only posts.
but don't look at everything! i would like to post some of my early images here (the jupiter image, for instance, i made over a month ago but posted it when i had no followers on DeSo), so i don't want you to spoil it LOL. i just really can't post most of my memes and plenty of other images because they have references to DeSo which just won't make sense here! but i'll include a couple of them in this post right now.
ty for reading! and i did say i would include some silly lyrics, i'm embarrassed now to include them, but they're after the images LOL
actually it's easier to include the lyrics in the post in context. though the context was just someone asking "what is this?"
