What is up friends and fam

I actually made a new account because I forgot my old one, but in a twist of fate I remembered the UN of my old one finally and now I'm back in it. (Don't worry, I'll be going back and deactivating that new one here soon)

I've already rediscovered the way to make sick cash (Bless quests), but I have a few questions: -I remembered some pet goals, and a harvester Hydrus was one of them. I finally got off my lazy butt and grabbed the map, only to find Merana gone. Some tweeter friends yesterday got Hydrus pets (which was what prompted me to crack into my account again) so I know it's /possible/ I just don't know /how/ -I fancy myself a decent artist and was wondering if that's a good way to make money as well. I've picked up my zapping addiction to get experiment 886, and I'm more than willing to pay that 400K each time...

Anyways, enough questions! Let's make this a proper intro board now

My common internet name is Ssevora, Ssev, and Ty works too. I was a very quiet player the last time I played, being only 16 (I think). I'm 19 now, a bit more confident in my abilities, and would like to get into the pet communities I've drifted through over the years. (Neopets, Kaylune, Flight Rising, and this one too) I love drawing digitally, and would love to make it into maybe a job someday, but my artstyle is pre. cartoony which makes it kinda tricky to get anywhere with. (or so I've heard.)

Uuh, I'm a massive Fire Emblem, Pokemon, and Guild Wars 2 fan. I want to rework some of my pets to kinda be homages to my favorite characters in those games, but I'm not too good with coding... I'm willing to give it a shot though if there's any helpful guides or premades to tinker with. I also love petsites way too much, and have sunk a decent amount of money into them. I'm sure it'll be the case with Subeta too side eyes the boutique store

Any fansites or newbie guides will be most appreciated

Hmm... I think that's it? Think I'll show off some drawings real quick to help anyone willing to answer question 2. Plus I believe you can learn a lot from someone's art style:

put under a tab so u don't die

Welcome back!

Your art work is awesome, I especially love your first example - have you considered opening an art shop here at some point?

merana just came back earlier this month actually. (news link) i think you just need to catch her during certain times on the explore page:) also, welcome back! your art is lovely !

Hi Ssevora!

I'm a returning player as well :) I used to be a Subeta regular back in high school as well!

I also recently got back into Fire Emblem with that new mobile game. I think the last FE game that I played was Sacred Stones, which was for the GBA, haha. It's really awesome and I'm so happy that I get to play FE again!

You're artwork is really wonderful, as well! I really like your Lurantis drawing! I stopped playing Pokemon after Diamond and Pearl, but I've been keeping up with Pokemon somehow, haha.

I used to love coding profiles for Neopets, haha. For some reason I never got into coding on Subeta, but I'll be sure to start doing that eventually. I don't know how much this would help, but this website was a big help for me with customizing profiles.

Welcome back!

Gotta love Pokemon!

I like the colors used in your artwork. There's a really nice since of movement to the first picture. You've got a nice style.

I was thinking of doing something like that, but I'd have to figure out prices first. Was thinking of doing a typical 'pay what you want' commissions next weekend, then setting up an art shop the following week based on what I was offered. It worked pre well on Kaylune, so I'm hopeing it'll go well here too.

ah I see! So now she just comes and goes as she pleases huh? A little waiting can't hurt then, I suppose.

And thank you!

well welcome back to you too! The new FE Heroes app is pretty interesting, but I mostly play it to collect the heroes. I'm currently on a long quest to play all 14 of the Fire Emblem games (including the multiple routes in some) so the simplified gameplay in the app in comparison to the main games can get boring really quickly for me. It's still a cool app though, and I like how it's getting more people into what was originally considered a dying franchise.

Oh, and thank you for the link! I also played with Neopets' coding back when I was super active, but I've forgotten most (if not all) of my skills I learned from there. 2 years of hiatus can do that to ya, haha

thank you! I'm quite happy a lot of people like my Lurantis drawing. It didn't seem to get any attention on tumblr, so I just assumed no one liked the Pokémon hehe

Personally, I think it looks nice regardless of being a Pokemon. The pose, colors and lighting are all great. I'm actually not so great at recognizing some of the Pokemon from the newer generations, but your drawing really popped out at me.

Welcome back to subeta! You're a lovely artist!

Welcome back! :D hope you have fun around here again ^_^
