what the!? 1200+ Followers!!!
Wow, Thank you!
I just returned from a week long trip away from my PC and I come home to see this!
What I really didn't expect, was to jump to just over 1200 followers in such a short amount of time! Maybe it's the side effect of the image gallery being broken so often that my images stay up longer than they should... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I really only started generating a few months ago and I must have generated thousands of images until I felt brave enough to post anything here to Civit. Since then, I've been honing my techniques and learning from anyone who would spare a moment. I even added on experimenting with checkpoint merges which lead to releasing CelestReal, something I'm pretty proud of.
I've had so many great individuals provide guidance, inspiration, and sometimes just plan laughs.
So thank you again, to everyone ( including the bots).
A few specific shout outs-
Janxd - for just being damn cool, providing lots of guidance, and a vast number of tips. And of course for the awesome JANKU Chekcpoint(s) + all the other fixings. If you aren't using Lazy Embeddings, you are wasting precious minutes of you life and will end up sad and alone.
MagicMonday - Always Inspirational and an all around good individual. Encouraging words along with some friendly banter. Plus some sneaky little Buzz Bids at just the right time. (and a few other surprises). Whenever I'm stuck with what to gen, I tend to browse Magic's images and I seem to find the inspiration.
demonkingoftyranny - Helped me with everything even if they didn't know it, workflow questions, guidance on what I was doing wrong, and sometimes even what I might be doing right. Always took time to answer my sometimes very ridiculous questions
Klaabu - was super gracious when I asked about including resources in my merge and even supplied the Buzz for the first Bid when i was still trying to figure out how to post CelestReal V1 - thanks so much again!
EvitaiHti - for supplying the world with the images we NEED even if we aren't sure we want them. And providing a good many laughs both now and 3 days from now.
This is far from a complete list of the people who have helped inspire or guide me. So if we have crossed paths, just know I'm thankful and I don't take it for granted.
Despite the sites regular hiccups and how difficult it is to sometimes connect (or do anything)- I've found the community on Civit to be super welcoming, helpful and encouraging. I'm looking forward to continuing to create with all of the great people on here.
Stay tuned for a Bounty to help celebrate!!
