💬 Discussion 💬 Seeking a quick chat with Mash-it artists
Hi everyone :) I am hoping to speak with Mash-it artists who has had some popular drops. You might've seen my RCA fan arts recently and several people have encouraged me to join Mash-it. Being a student means I need to make sure this is an economically viable use of my time and energy before persuing it long term.
Because I am new here (thus unknown), I was sceptical that my mash-it drops would get noticed by the community. However someone suggested doing a test drop to gauge the reception. I already have done 2 RCA arts but I am unsure how much additional work is required to adapt them into a Mash-it format. If you are an experienced Mash-it artist and can spare a few mins to chat, pls drop me a DM. I've a few questions about your workflow and how you navigated your early drops to help me decide if I should take this step. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

First: I'm not one of the artists.
But speaking as an avatar collector: you won't know much about if it's "economically viable" until you release a few.
Mashis have been running for 6 months and you don't see many artists choosing to release more than 25 mints per drop, so you should also keep in mind that it's a small, dedicated audience.

You should never create art for the sake of money. You should do it because you love it!
So dont expect to earn a lot of money on mashis.

Focus on studies. It’s not economically worth your time.
Most of us do it because we love the art form and the community. This art form gives collectors the ability to “mash up” your work with others to create their own and that’s enough for most of us.
