Hey, person!

Introduction:
My name is Ben, I'm 18, a creative soul located in Belgium. I'm an artsy guy who's always experimenting with drawing, painting, writing, film, photography, editing and other artforms. I can hear you ask yourself, but, what other artform then Ben?
Let me introduce you to cardistry. Shuffling 52 pieces of paper, pushing an ordinary object to the limits, get creative and make moves. You'll get to know cardistry by watching some of my photo's or videos on my thread.

What is this thread
Well... I honestly don't know. This will be a place where I will drop all my random creations, thoughts and ideas. I might post a few times a day, I might not post in a week. Depends on when my brainbox wants to create stuff. This is also a place for interaction, to start discussion about my works or just general art (probably about cardistry tho since it's the most unknown). Also, everyone is welcome to give feedback, post replies, ask questions or just post some of your art! Please don't spam tho.

My background
I've been a hardcore transformice player since 2011, used to have lots of connections, but last year I got way too busy and other hobbies/school started getting in the way. I also used to own a thread on the art forums of transformice. This community is lovely, which is the reason why I stayed, and am now coming back here. I want to spread the unknown term cardistry here and get back into this wonderful, caring community! Anyways, in the spoilers you can see some thingies I might post here.

Thanks for your time, swing by this thread from time to time if you're interesting in checking on my brainfarts and want to have a good chat.

In this spoiler you can find some stuffs:

Let's start things off with this edit I made earlier today. I like coffee, I like sunshine, but I hate mornings. Especially when this happens... Something's off:

Bonus quote: If the sky was the limit, there wouldn't be a flag on the moon.

Here is one of the first characters I ever made, called Xazmo!
What do you think? Do you have any original characters? Show me! :)

In other news, i was bored and shot a cardistry video today, expect that going up later or tomorrow xoxo

Nice thread! You seem like a smart, reasonable user who has a great understanding of the rules and the world. I personally would like to welcome you to the forums and hope you don't run away screaming like most users. Take it away mods (that is your cue)!

Moved to the Leisure Lounge, it fits in a little better here!

Cheesezwheel thanks for the support and kind words! Let's see how long I can survive out here ;)
And thanks Veralidaine for moving my post!

Here is the video I produced yesterday, just me goofing around with some cardistry and filming, what do you think?

Got this weird idea an hour ago. Turned out pretty, well... interesting.

Do transformice and photoshop mix well? Should I try to do more?

"The only limits you have are the ones you set yourself"

"Cards come from paper,
paper comes from trees,
therefor, card is tree,
Cardistry"

So here is an edit I made of my own custom beanie, the "Card=Tree" beanie, get it?

They are nice!

Good luck!

So ye, my brain got this weird idea to create a short film, out of no where, no experience! It's a very experimental piece where I wanted to focus on ambience, the artistic aspect. If you want to understand the ending and the film in general real the description!

I proudly present: Artistry

I met up with some cardists, here is our jam video:

Another transformice photoshop I did today :)

Idk if anyone will ever read this or check back on my thread, but here are 2 cardistry edits I made this week..
