...Otherwise known as the Artist Experience System, seen in my profile info.

Q: What is AES?
A: AES is a simple leveling system that rewards artists for tasks they complete.

Q: But... why?
A: As someone who likes to create art I often find myself lacking motivation to start something, but usually when I get going, I enjoy the process. Even though there is no real reward to completing these art pieces, for most people, myself included, seeing a bar go up because of something you did makes you feel accomplished. A pat on the back, if you will...something about psychology.

Q: How did this come to be?
A: As silly as it may sound, a few friends and myself at my university decided to make a spreadsheet where if we did well on a test or completed a bunch of homework assignments, etc. we would be rewarded an achievement with a funny name that was either relevant to the week or subject at hand. Needless to say, after this was implemented, everyone saw a noticeable GPA boost for that term. After that, I already knew I wanted some sort of reward system and after seeing  Sky3's profile with his level thing, I knew what I wanted to do.

Q: Can I implement AES into my profile?
A: Absolutely! I encourage anyone who likes the idea to implement it into their profiles!

Q: Where can I find the data on this information?
A: Spreadsheet

Q: Can I change the reward points / needed points to level?
A: If you want to rehash the math and everything, go right ahead.

Q: Can I make a recommendation?
A: Absolutely! I encourage any form of feedback that may help the Artist Experience System.

Q: I think this idea is dumb.
A: Well...not exactly a question, but okay! That's fine by me, just simply ignore it then. ;)
