A shoutout to Nix!
7 months ago
I joined Nix's discord server last year (May 2024), or most may know her better as Alishka, and it continues to be one of the best decisions I ever made! To be honest, I don't think I remember how I ended up there to begin with. Followed her for a long time, then started suddenly showing up to streams! But, either way, this artist has been amazing, and I am excited to forever be a part of her little community. Not only as just a fun person to interact with and be around, but I have learned so damn much.
Tuning in to Nix's streams on Picarto to watch her draw is honestly mesmerizing sometimes. I'm usually playing a game or drawing something on my main monitor, and I always find myself stopping to pay attention instead. Watching alone has first and foremost helped me understand anatomy so much, as well as gathering new techniques to try. Despite Nix saying she's not very good at explaining things, she's still always at least trys to answer my questions. Every bit helps! At the very least, it helps get me thinking. Not just in stream, but i'm a bother in discord too, sometimes prying for information maybe a little too much. Or when i've posted art, asking for advice or not, she usually hasn't hesitated to swoop in to help point out errors, give critique, and/or just fixes the damn thing for me. Hell, a few times I was having trouble with something and asking for advice, she'd straight up do it live on stream, unprompted, and help me understand along the way! All of this i'm always immensely grateful for, because she's taking her own time, on the fly, in the middle of working, just to help little 'ol me...
I message artists all the time looking for advice, and always thankful for the responses, but this past year, Nixsmis has been almost like a mentor to me. I have learned a tremendous amount from this bean in very short timespan, and I don't think I can ever properly express my gratitude.
Thank you, Nix, for all of your help with my art journey thus far, and I hope you don't mind me sticking around for who knows how long to bother you more.
