First Greetings

in #graphics3 years ago

Hello! I am IIKrypticsII, but I am also known as KrypticDesigns. After seeing a shoutout towards my page I thought I should post something and take advantage of this, and to take a moment to say thank you @bozz. I really did not expect to log on and see that, congratulations on your third Hive birthday. To begin, I am 19 years old and love everything about technology. I started working on computers back when I was 14 or so and was overtaken by the experience and how much fun it was. In addition, I love graphic design and and that quickly took over my free time these days. I started about 2 years ago on my own using photoshop and later on I started working with Adobe Illustrator which I quickly began to love.

I have a ton to learn as I do not take classes for graphics, and I am limited with what tools I have to further my skills and knowledge but I hope you will join me on this adventure and hopefully you can see me improve over time. This design is something I quickly mocked up for my profile picture.

I also do some commissions when the time arises and someone wants me to make something. I mainly do profile pictures and Twitch overlays but I would love to spread out and make some more "expert" designs. On the other hand, I make a ton of graphics just as a hobby and for no actual reason. I love to play Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege so that is where I find a ton of my inspiration and make spin-offs of the operator icons.

Speaking of games, I play a ton of Rocket League, Rainbow Six Siege, and the occasional Call of Duty... before I finish all weapons camos and get bored of the game. Hopefully I will be able to catch some good or funny moments so that I can post them and show you all.

Thank you for checking out my page and I will try to commit to posting once a week and show my current projects in the life of my graphics, or small bits of funny moments while gaming. Catch you all next time!untitled.gif

Welcome to HIVE! There's a few gamers and livestreamers on here who'd like to know about your banner design skills I'm sure!

I didn't have any music training myself, just picked it up from a young age and you find you get good just from doing it and watching tutorials, get inspired and away you go!

Welcome to Hive! I'm glad that you joined us on here. There's a lot of really awesome and interesting things going on here every day and week. Look forward to seeing what you come up with and hopefully stick around and see your account grow.

One of the important things I want to iterate is you should be spending more time commenting meaningful things on other peoples posts than you should be writing your own. If you reach a wide audience through commenting that's the best way to grow your account. We are a community here and that requires effort. If you don't put in effort to engage with the community you won't receive much on the other end. Not trying to be negative here just want you to understand that rewards require effort.

Thank you, I am excited to see what everyone is up to and integrate into all of this.

Thank you for the wise advice! I will definitely keep that in mind for later on. I know its because I am new here but I'm just having troubles currently adapting to how things are ran and seeing this whole new world of social media for me. Over time my hopes are that I will become more active and spend more time on this platform.

Awesome! Welcome to Hive :)! I am super happy to see you posting something. I look forward to watching you grow on the platform!

I didn't know we had a USA community on here. Pretty cool, subscribed to it for sure! Thanks for the reblog on this one!

Welcome aboard. I am sure @bozz will advise you well on how this all works. Hive can be a bit different to other platforms. There are lots of artists here, so see what they are doing. People really appreciate comments and they can earn you something.

It may be best to use your vote on posts as payouts under about 2c get burnt.

Have fun!
