Late but I reached my goal! Thank you so much for the support y'all :]

i drew it myself :^)

Some people may remember that I made a similar post last year, but never kept up fully because lol stress and a lot of shit happened last year which ended in a huge disappointment (a.k.a. the harsh winds being stupid and causing us to choose to not participate for safety reasons -- which i completely understand! but still, it was honestly really sad). But for those unaware what this is about; There's a flower parade in my town, and I actively help out every year with building one of the floats! Twenty workgroups build a float each year for the parade, and since it's a competition as well, they try to make it the best to their abilities so they will stop in front of the town hall during the second passing of the floats past it -- meaning they win first place! The parade is organized and built entirely by volunteers. You could call it an out of control hobby! There are hundreds of volunteers involved with building one float, and in total there's thousands of people who willingly spend their time working on something amazing. It's integrated into the town's culture as the parade is one of Europe's oldest -- It's been around for over 80 years! To get an impression of what it's evolved into over the course of those years, you should click this link and see it for yourself what it's like :] So! Enough with the basic introductions, let's get to the point; This year's flower parade. Once again there's 20 entries this year, and as the flower parade never has a set theme (except for certain years that involve a certain anniversary related to Van Gogh, as my town is the birthplace of the famous painter), the ideas and themes vary wildly again. In the spoiler is a video of this year's designs, together with timestamps for each different design, the workgroup who will build said design, and the name of the float. I'd like to apologize as I had to translate these myself as the official English titles have not been revealed yet, but they should be good enough to get an impression as of what the floats are about! Now, the purpose of this topic is for me to tell you guys about the building process of a float like this, and I will -- once I'm finally able to actually help out at the workplace -- post weekly updates on what's been going on. Also, let me know what you guys think! Which design do you think is cool? Or which do you not like as much? I like hearing people's input on this, so post it below! I hope you'll enjoy reading the blog :]

wow i did not expect this to happen so soon but... i need to open emergency commissions. Like an idiot I ran out of money this weekend because some stuff i bought ended up costing more than i thought i'd end up spending, and if I do not raise 75 euros by thursday I most likely will not be able to afford food or my phone bill which needs to be paid for on june 19th without ending up in the minus. please please PLEASE PLEASE consider commissioning me, it'd help me immensely!! you can read more about it on my tumblr here!

Welp, here we go again! Like I said a while ago, I'd be remaking a previously done topic by me so I would have a less cluttered topic. This should all make it a bit more neat and tidy. And to those who are unfamiliar with this side of me, hi! Aside from being staff here on the forums, I'm actively a creative content creator. I make art, music, and I also follow a study on visual arts for games, and wish to specialize in character animation for games. I draw all sorts of things, although primarily fan art, but wish to become more original in content as time goes on. You can find some of my past art on Tumblr and deviantART. I also have a YouTube channel on which I occasionally post music I created/remixed. I also have my commissions open, as well as having a Patreon for people who want to support me over an extended period of time (in exchange for some cool rewards!), so check those out if you're interested in financially supporting me! It'd always be immensely appreciated as I tend to struggle financially from time to time, so you'd be helping me out a great deal. Constructive criticism is always appreciated, and if you're interested in commissioning me, please contact me on Discord, Tumblr or by PM here on the forums! Thank you! You can find my current commissions here!

It's not anymore, but don't fret because I got the song for you right here: I'm actually the person who made that remix, so I'm glad to hear you like it! c:

Kakori's gym puzzle is a bit glitchy, and it's been very hard to actually fix this issue, but please be patient, there will be a fix eventually. Until then, post your savefile in the savefile troubleshooting topic.

It is! I mostly use Photoshop, premiere and after effects, but I still want to learn illustrator at some point as well. They're all very useful tools, and for a student license only being 15 euros a month for all those programs it's worth it.

I actually use paid brush presets! They're brushes made by Kylebrush, you should look up his website -- he got a load of cool and super nice brush presets for sale for relatively cheap. They're super worth the money and have helped me enormously in experimenting in style and workflow c:

Hey, so with V9 right around the corner a.k.a. TODAY, the spoiler lock for any mons encountered in the new areas in V9 is now in place! This will stay for about a week, so until then please do not post spoilers in this topic c:

Yes! You should be able to find it at the sheridan wetlands. Also, you can ask these questions in the Pokémon location guide as well, so you know for future reference!

i still have this saved so lemme post it here again as it is (once more) relevant

Photoshop CC 2017! I have an Adobe creative cloud license which i need for my study c: Thank you very much though! I'm glad you like my work!

I'm waiting on Jan for a final decision on this, so until then it may be better to wait with donating again. There'll be an update on this very soon, so please be patient for a bit!

As of right now there's none, but I could probably look into some stuff and get it arranged. Paypal is still the most preferable though, as it saves us both trouble given Jan isn't really in a position to set up a lot of things.

All donations so far have been transferred to Jan's paypal -- Thank you immensely for your help! He'll be super happy with it c:

I hate to be a party pooper, but I need to intervene in this thread for a bit. At this point this thread is only used for mostly needless posting. Half of the stuff being posted in here isn't even contributing anything anymore to the thread aside from keeping it "alive" while you guys are waiting for V9. As much as I hate to break it to people, this IS actually something you can get warned for. Please reconsider what you're writing in your post before hitting send. If it's not actively contributing something substantial to the topic -- substantial not including idle talk and/or pun fests (as these really could be posted in the wasteland just as well) -- I will actually start warning people, because this thread is not meant for that kind of stuff. We still hope you're looking forward to V9, though! It's not too far away anymore...

you know what's the best ship of them all though? :^) or perhaps the people in this thread x a glass of water to quench the thirst
