Hi guys!
My name is Chris, but here I'll be going by @midlet. I'm really excited to finally start sharing on Steemit. As I mentioned, this is my first post so bear with me if I screw anything up.
In addition to the post below I also created a quick video above to confirm that I'm not a robot(...yet), so check that out to put a face and voice to the text below, but all the juicy bits are here if you don't want to stare at my mug.
My account will be focused primarily on original art created by me across a wide range of digital tools and disciplines. I've always felt like there were way too many different ways to create to stick to one method, and I love to experiment with different tools and methods to try to come up with interesting looks.
Of course I love to draw and paint, but I'm also into 3D software, motion design, graphic design, animation, etc. If you choose to join me on my journey you'll undoubtedly see a bit of all that as time goes on. Below you can see a sneak peek at what you can expect from me.
Drawings and Paintings
3D Design
Weird Stuff
Tutorials
My day job is teaching art at a university. I've been thinking about doing more video tutorials for a while and I think #dtube is a great platform for that. I'm not sure if people here would be interested in that sort of content, but it's definitely something I want to explore!
Demos
I guess the main difference between a demo and a #tutorial is that in the tutorial I'd be trying to teach you something and in a demo, just sharing my process with you. Again these will be done in video form on #dtube.
Other than that I might post content about crypto from time to time. I think most of us ended up here because of an interest in crypto and I'm no exception. I'm really passionate about blockchain tech and cryptocurrencies and look forward to chatting with all you like minded wonderful people.
If that sounds interesting to you please give me a follow, upvote, comment, digital fist bump, etc. and thanks so much for checking my stuff out!

That is some sick stuff Chris, congratulations on getting here :) I guess you didn't show a picture of yourself on purpose, so I won't ask about one! Your art is stunning!
Resteemed you for some publicity! Greets
Thanks @welcoming! You can see me in the video, that's why I didn't think to add one to the post. Is that typically what people do?

Thanks!

Thanks @bycoleman for the useful links. There were definitely still some things on Steemit I didn't understand.
It will not come in a day.
Post quality and engage vigorously with the community and you will have much success and learning.
Welcome to steemit
Thanks @phillips93!
Welcome to Steemit :)
Thanks @archive.xyz!
I really like the paintings! Good job!
Thanks @askeb! Looking forward to sharing more :)
Hey Chris! Welcome to Steemit and Dtube! You have an amazing talent and can't wait to follow you on this amazing steemit adventure.
Do you take requests? I reckon it'd be so cool if you turned the dtube logo or steemit/steem logo into a superhero!
Take care and feel free to ask me any questions about dtube or steemit
Thanks @kevinli! Well I was thinking of doing something along those lines in the future. I imagine we're all geeks for the platform so I thought that would be something people would appreciate. Stay tuned!
Welcome to the steemit party @midlet! Look forward to seeing more of your art, especially your drawings and paintings.
Thanks @osm0sis! Lots more to come, thanks for looking!
Welcome dude! You're a fine addition to the creative community on steemit. Looking forward to see more of you.
Thanks @zeitgleich!
Wow! Such realistic paintings @midlet! looking foward to seeing your tutorials as well!
Absolutely love the colors of that first painting with the girl! Beautiful! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Thanks so much @yinaury! Glad you like it :)
Welcome to Steemit! It's great having you here :)
I love love your work!

Wow, can't wait to see more from you, @midlet. Do you by any chance happen to be at Steem Artists Discord Chat? I'd love to chat with you.
Thanks @shinyforest! Nope, don't know anything about that. Feel free to educate me if you have the chance :)
If you don't have a Discord yet and don't know what it is ( (Discord is to Steemit sort of like Messenger is to Facebook), you could start with joining a minnow support group on Discord, Here’s an invite for you and here’s the registration manual- you can get a lot of support for your blog there! I'll do my best to put a link for Steem Artists Chat too, but I'm having some technical difficulties with that.
All the best,
Klaudia
Thanks! I'll check it out!
