after multiple exams and quizzes this week, i was unable to find the willpower to drag myself outside to film this. sry dr. pryor
My phone ran out of storage so you guys are lucky enough to witness awkward closeups, stumbling over my own words, and the world's most punchable video thumbnail.
transcript if u dont wanna see my face:
We spend precious time on hobbies because like loreal, we know they're worth it. Artists, of all people, are well-aware of how valuable their time is. So why do they continue wasting it?
As technology progresses, digital art has emerged as a cost-efficient medium for visual artists. Similar to the art galleries you see downtown, websites dedicated to sharing art have popped up online.
We're going to get nerdy. In their spare time, artists come together online and work on original concepts of fictional worlds, stories, and characters, which is called roleplaying. Basically, it's as if Game of Thrones was a collaborative effort. A a LOT of time and effort goes into this- but here's the issue. These art-sharing websites wasn't really made for this.
The ability to group artwork with a common theme does exist- but they were made for sharing fanart and not original concepts. The websites are also often outdated, barely work on mobile, and make users pay to use modern coding for their profile pages. Due to this, roleplayers end up switching between 2-3 different websites, resulting in wasted time that could be spent creating.
My solution is to make a website for the roleplay community that is modern and effectively serves as one, singular place to properly share info, concept art, and possess solid social features as well, such as chatroom and direct messaging functions.
Would you be interested in checking out our kickstarter?
No worries Haley- awkward close ups always make things interesting! :)
ReplyDeleteBut I did not realize how big your market is that you are reaching out to. I am sure those who are all about roleplaying online would appreciate your cite. I am interested in seeing what all your site has to offer!
Hey Haley! I think this is a really interesting idea (I'm way into creating digital design artwork myself--lots of original and concept art, so I think I fit into your target audience). I like the amount of research you put about looking into the competition and what they have to offer ('grouping available for fan art but not original works').
