Steem Cartoon : Discord We are Now Here!
Towards 23rd January, 2018
23rd January, 2018 is an important date to us especially to the cartoon community. After the morning event in The Malaysian House of Cartoons and Comics, the most influential figure in the local cartoon and comic industry will be taking a peek into our steemit world. We area little jittery and also very excited. It is not always that you get to congregate so many industry movers and put them in one auditorium and hear you speak.
Our basic idea of having this session was to show how far our community of #steem-cartoon has achieved since its launch in late November, 2017 and how Steemit as a platform would be a proper window to the world from a few aspects such as:-
i) Critical Evaluation/Appraisal
ii) Exposure
iii) Idea Sharing
iv) Marketing
v) Income Generating Tool
vi) Personal and Professional Growth
There will be live performances from our very own @zhusatriani (one of the weekly winner of openmic) and @papisax both professional musicians. They will also be a keynote address from @bitrocker2020 and @sireh the founder of #steem-cartoon.
Discord
We have been talking about having a discord channel so that our community can actively engage and here we are, unveiling our discord channel. It is a bit messy at the moment and with some decoration, it will improve over time. To those who are supporting our initiative please be our guest on our discord channel.
Who is Our Community
In the event anyone felt left out because they do not draw, please do not misunderstand the role of our community. Our community are meant for supporters, readers, critiques, cartoonist, artist and reviewers. As long as you fall within the categories listed you are extremely welcomed. The benchmark is not that you must be able to draw. If you enjoy the work that you saw in the community, you are part of us. It is merely that simple.
Please come and help us grow this community. In this community we realise that we cannot grow unless we allow ourselves to be subject to critical appraisal. This criticism taken constructively can help grow the community. That is what we want. It is not always praises that is welcomed, even sharing of ideas or techniques have a very important role to play.
Our Ambassador
Wo-owl is our ambassador. Its a 'SHE'. Owl has always been seen to be a creature that is full of wisdom and warmth. There is something about the night and the soothing hoots that is soothingly comforting. The night isn't always scary, it is magical and it also allows for the creation of new ideas.
Wo-owl is also a mother figure. She nurtures and she protects. This community is interested in all those that wishes to particpate and to the minnows out there, if you felt left out and have absolutely no idea what a witness is, the Wo-owl channel will try to answer you the best way we understand. If we cannot put it into words we will answer you in our own expression. In short, let our community be your home to grow.
We are nothing but minnows, some smaller minnows and some slightly more experienced minnows. We are your community and we are more than glad to assist if we can.
Our idea is this, if a group of minnows swim in a school, they become quite noticeable. So, #steem-cartoon is your school.
Looking Forward
There will be more active engagement and community program that will take place and is in the pipeline. Let us work towards this goal together and while doing that we can support each other. If this is considered group jerking we would be guilty of community jerking for the minnows. There are some of us that have a steady following and may not require that much attention, hence with that in mind, our resources will be more specific and targeted at beginners that are talented but could be overwhelmed by all these new terminology and concept that is alien to them.
Let us be the first to say 'WELCOME TO STEEMIT'.
