I'm drawing the usernames for the HIVE users I interact with. Creative, Personal, and Filled with Community Love.~
Mission
As I know more people on HIVE, I'll write their usernames with my hand, and turn them into personalized drawings inspired by their HIVE pages or my relationship with them.
The goal is to reach 1000 usernames drawn by the end of this project.
Background
I started drawing usernames for Hivers who bought my Digital Funding Tokens Hivers who buy these tokens will get beneficiary rewards on my regular posts, and get their username drawn on a transparent background. Learn about DFTs in this article: "Beneficiary Rotating Rewards."
After drawing @alessandrawhite's name in one of the Creative Work Hour meetings, I realized I enjoyed drawing these. I loved thinking of what the person I was drawing it for would like. I thought, "It'll be amazing if I managed 100 of these." "Do I even know a 100 people on HIVE?" A few days later, the 1000 usernames project started!
Special Mentions
I first would love to mention @eturnerx who bought a bunch of my Digital Funding Tokens and also bought the rights to use the art I made for his username commercially.
Secondly, I'd like to thank @master-lamps for being the first person to buy my services for drawing on HIVE. I appreciate using my illustration as your profile picture.
After that, I must mention @alessandrawhite whose initiative Creative Work Hour inspired me to do this. The welcoming community vibe there is irreplaceable. Also, @shadowspub who was very supportive and introduced me as an artist to the group.
I was so happy when @elameadows asked me how I knew her favorite colors. It made me feel like I did something right. I enjoy some of your Poems Ela.~
Another Hiver I met in Creative Work Hour is @gregscloud who jumped to thank me as soon as he saw the username drawing I made for him when he was busy. I'd like to know more about @andysporring in the future to draw his username in a way that suits his personality better.
Finally I'd like to mention @ackza whose work on NFTs a year ago was an inspiration for me to go back to NFTs. Paving the way for my DFT project and this one.

Can I Use These Drawings In My Content?
Yes, the usernames that I draw are Free to use anywhere on HIVE. Attributing these drawings to me (@ahmadmanga) is appreciated but isn't necessary.
Payment isn't necessary either. However if possible, I'd like some beneficiary rewards from your posts. You only have to do this once. (5% Beneficiary is enough.)
You only have to Pay if you want to use your username drawing Commercially outside of HIVE, (for example as a Logo on Youtube videos.) The price I ask would vary on a case-by-case basis, but I promise I'll be fair.
Thanks for Reading
This would be a recurring post in which I share my progress as I make more of these drawings. I already decided on the people I'm going to feature in the next one. Hint: @chrisrice and @mehmetfix will be there!
Thanks for Reading so far.~
