Hi there! I am Emiliano, otherwise known as Jectoons, and I am a Mexican animator and illustrator currently based in Canada. That thing above this paragraph is a self-portrait I made for a series of videos I was making, until I worked a bit too hard and I ended up getting RSI on my wrist. That was almost 2 months ago but I am finally getting better.
I have been in Hive for a bit over 30 days already, and it has taken me a while to kind of understand the way it all works here, so I did things backwards and began by posting on D.Buzz a while ago. I have also posted some of my short stories and some articles I have written previously, both in English and Spanish, and all of this without really introducing myself to the community.
That was kind of rude of me, so let me try to start over.
As stated before, I am Jectoons.
I have been working in the animation industry for almost ten years, which makes it kind of odd that I am so insecure about my drawings and such, but I am trying to get better, at least better than my previous self. If you are interested in some of my credits, you have probably seen my work in the My Little Pony Movie (2017), Netflix's Carmen Sandiego (I only did posing), 101 Dalmatian Street and more recently Dreamworks' Trollstopia.
I like to write and post about a wide variety of topics, ranging from book reviews to short stories to my overall thoughts on whatever has interested me at the time, so you can expect all of this from me (and again, I post both in English and Spanish, though I will rarely translate or make a single post bilingual). You can also expect drawings like this Banjo-Kazooie fanart:
Or animated gifs like this:
Or this:
Some of these I have already posted on D.Buzz previously, and I will most likely post most of my single images there if I have nothing too insightful to say about them. :)
Also, I should say that a lot of my drawings and articles I also post on read.cash, noise.cash, Publish0x, Den.Social and my own personal website. In all of those social places, if you frequent them, you can find me as jectoons. That being said, my next few posts here will be some of my old posts on those sites, so bear with me.
The Hive community has been amazing so far. I really like D.Buzz, PeakD and Ecency, and I am interested in joining Splinterlands someday, as well as submit my videos to 3Speak as soon as I record some new ones (those will most likely be in Spanish). The people here have been super nice to me and my work, and now that I kind of understand how to better move around here I feel way more comfortable and excited about sharing all of the things that I do with all of the Hivians!
I must say that the more I use Hive and the more I learn about it the more excited I grow about its potential. I already follow and am keeping my eye on some people (I have mainly focused on looking for artists and creators, but I am increasingly interested in reading more and more opinion pieces and essays), and I am also excited about meeting more peeps through this site!
Thanks for taking a moment to read my introduction, and I am looking forward to sharing my articles, art and animation here with you, and to checking out everything everyone else does here. :)
