What can you tell us about yourself?

Hi there! I'm Ainogommon. A 22 year olds fellow Trove player from Thailand. I have been in this community for 4 years roughly since Trove Steam-launch. I spent most of my time make creations involved this game(Arts and Mods) as well as collecting dragons to my Trove collections. (Can this be called a Dragon Hoarder?)

Oh by the way if anyone remembered this: OG Art Thread: http://forums.trovegame.com/showthread.php?82503-IIAinoII-s-Trove-fan-art! 

Where does your name come from?

Back when like I was a kid, with creating an online user name for the first time. It was a mixed between sound of the word "kiddo" in Thai language with my favorited TV shows "Digimon". Sounds bizarre but it's likely how's it gone.

How did you learn about Trove and why did you start playing?

I knew about Trove from my online friend when it just launched on Steam. He dragged me to play with him. The queue was insane but after my playthrough with my first class "Fae Trickster" because I love glass cannon. After 3 days I became hooked with massive number of collectables in game.

What's your favourite part of Trove? What keeps you coming back?

I still peeking over Trove because of communities inside of it. Some nice people to talk with. Alot of good memories here. The second best part of this game for me in Trove is "Modding" it's very enjoyable to see your awesome/badass/goofy ideas running in Trove, don't we?

What is your design and creation process?

Idea is floating in the air. I used my perception to seek any possiblity on focused stuff, bring it out then make it real in form of art or mod.

I mainly using Paint Tool S.A.I. for creating art and Qubicle for Voxel stuffs.

What is the most challenging thing about creating art?

So many things to be done but so little time in my hand. Frustration from other factors outside could ruined my enjoyment on the creation process easily. resulted rushed work or unfinished.

What advice would you give to new artists starting out?

Practice! A lot of them. You will not believed about how good you body is at memory stuffs. First time won't be perfect but later on you will be more precise on that stuff. Don't stress out. Treat your work like an experiment. once your flaw spotted just try to fixed it on next piece because nobody could make it perfect at the first time. Everything is learning and to improve.
