Hello BHW!
About me
My Name is MeGaLiXiR, as I played tons of RPG. I'm in version 2.7 (27 yo) and from western Europe, in a land called France.
I'm a female coder / gamer / mage / xp lover
IRL and with other identities, I'm a pluri artist, drawing on paper and on my wacom tablet, composing music, pianist, singer, filmmaker, FX, design .... and I might forget something, or I'm too lazy or too excited to join BHW right now to write everything down...
Why did I join BHW ?
Since version 7 (7 yo) I've been on my computer.
Last 2 years been trying to live by earning money making websites and design, and selling commissioned drawings.
I managed to put some food in the fridge and let my (poor) friends have some fun by buying food and wine for everyone. (and sometimes weed)
But I've been quickly stuck in daily life : i was independent, working from home, but it became like a cage. Europe is drowning, and now buy food is 3 times the price it was before. Even when I manage to get 2000? (happened once or twice) for a month, no money left. I began to feel like a slave, where I was the supporter of slavery too. My "clients" became friends so they started to feel right even when they did not pay at the right time, posting on facebook their restaurant session while I was starving... Everyone is alaways glad with teh quality of my work, and they could call me at night, in the morning, doing 4 hours visio and stuff.... A slave. Working 80h a week for few hundreds, having my surroundings proud that I am independent and creative, but often they would point at the lack of money too... too often...
As I wrote, I'm a pluri artist, and composed several albums, made some films for the others and learned my way through creativity with my sweet computer.
But with ye olde daily life on my shoulders, I don't have the time to compose or to build shows, because I need to sleep sometimes....
I miss the time I was on stage. People ask me everyday where or when to buy my music, where to watch my films, when am I going to sell that sweet poster... Since february I've been looking for a way to dry the flow of commissions to free my time again for art. I thought at first I would just stop making things for OTHERS all the time, and care about my art and myself, that way I could serve others with good quality art and lyrics, great storytelling and amazing special effects. I could sing for freedom and inspire... but... had no time nor money to invest...
I planned to earn a living with my art but now I realise i don't even have those 100 bucks I need to buy a costume and a green screen... That I worked like a slave for months and with no income for my personal quest.
So, I remembered Internet was always there for me, with solution. I could just search for solutions, like working with robots instead of human being, and become my own sponsor. MeGaLiXir being the sponsor of my artist identity.
I would be able to eat while working. I would be able to pay people if they come and help on my clip / short film. I could just take a train sometimes, to places I've never seen. I could just be that generous one, so people realise it does exists.
Few days ago, someone told me "You know your computer things, not many people can do that"
It stayed in my mind. I have artist identity to sponsor. I have artist friends to support. I have to find a new place to live.
I have to follow my quest as a mage.
I'm here to learn what I have missed during these years out of underground web, and to help if I can.
I'm here to meet you people and support you on your journeys to freedom from slavery.
I'm here cause I love working with robots more than working for humans that don't even notice I do my best for them.
I've always been poor, a poor person but that managed to invest in computers, piano keyboard, microphone, graphic tablet.
I just had a reflex camera as a gift, my journey as a public artist can start. But I starve too often.
I plan to post soon on IM journeys about my quest to earning my freedom back with White/Black/Grey methods.
I will read all those post that will make me become better everyday.
I hope I'll reach my goals, and I'm not that happy with how this post turned (eheh) for I certainly forgot many things I would like you to know if we become friends... let's say that we'll meet during great discussions on the forum
Success, Peace, Love and Passion to you all.
May your dreams come true.
And, nice to meet you, being a part of this
website feels like a LEVEL UP for me
