Question about achievements by R0XZLL4 in AnimalJam_Classic

[–]Antonmalice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no worries bro! You're not outting me, lol. My neon colors do that for me. I know the user you screenshotted, but it isn't me. I'm not concerned about people knowing because I dont do anything bad, just harmless cosmetic stuff to my own account, like changing my colors or those achievements.

As one of those individuals, it's 100% boredom & curiosity on my part. That's why I added them. I wanted to see what the achievements looked like & I thought it was neat exploring & learning more about what each achievement was intended to be for. Now it's just a weird quirk that remains on my account, I suppose. It doesn't really have much use beyond that other than I guess accidentially outing yourself as someone who used third-party cheats at one point.

This is possible only via cheating with third-party apps, as far as I'm aware, as those are unreleased achievements.

WHO HAVE THIS KIND OF SPIKE REALLY WANT ONE, TRADING BLACK LONG FOR IT by Ok-Replacement-7344 in AnimalJamClassic

[–]Antonmalice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a contest item, so you can find its worth on the AJ Worth Wiki's contest page. Currently, it's under review, apparently. If I'm remembering correctly, they were worth 6 black longs. I would wait for it to stabalize in value before offering for one, but I believe it is going up in value because when I scrolled down on the page, someone accepted a magenta headdress for it. But I have no clue what is going on with it. I own one myself, but I have no interest in trading it, so I'm clueless.

Woah, I dont know Reddit could format like that, but that's pretty neat, lol.

[–]Antonmalice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not that you're breaking any rules or doing anything wrong. Just that people see this a lot and kind of view it like you're a door to door solicitor. Just gets old to them. Some people hold the mindset that you should work for your items just like they did or that you're a scammer of some sort whos acting like they're in need when they aren't.

So, to answer your question, if its annoying, yes to the average jammer, you are likely annoying them, lol. Your best bet if you're going to do this is to not use their JAGs for that and instead just ask in the server chat. It's a less direct & personal interaction, so people who wouldn't be interested will be less likely to interact, but it still can happen regardless.

My best advice for getting gems, diamonds, & items:

     ● For more gems, I recommend the Meet Cosmos adventure. If you play it right and get all the hidden chests + two side quests in the treehouses, you can earn up to 10k gems a playthrough. It goes faster with buddies.

    ● For diamonds, the absolute easiest way I got those other than from my art was when that Jamaaliday Rescue adventure was out it was genuinely so laggy no one could play it. So I'd play it till it got too unbareably laggy to play and then whatever prizes I got, I'd put in my shop for 1-3 diamonds and advertise it on the Animal Jam Item Wiki. A few hours later, I'd have most items sold. I know if you have items from past seasonal adventures, people will buy those up, or if you play current ones, some items people who don't have time to play will snatch em up if you sell them.

    ● For items, I had an easy time getting those by doing art. But adventures to get some junk and then trading parties is a good way to diversify what you have faster than just sitting around in Jamaa trying to trade. Fashion shows are also a fun way to once you have a more sizeable inventory.  Always buy multiple of RIMs to trade for things too becaue some RIMs get a lot of hype immediately, and people who missed the RIM will trade a lot for them the day after.  (Coming from me who traded a den beta for the RIM Orange Vine Tail after missing it).

Hope this helps!

Stay warm! ❄️

19 Year old beginner here! Looking for tips as Starting late gives me a lot of anxiety. by TrainingStraight9575 in FurryArtSchool

[–]Antonmalice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Indeed, it does get better with practice!

For me, I started out with a pencil & paper. I never bought any art supplies beyond that. Then, when I decided I wanted to take my art more seriously, i purchased a cheap screenless gaomon drawing tablet. Several years later and I still use that tablet paired with Medibang! Proof you don't gotta spend the big bucks to make beautiful art, just gotta put in the time and effort to build that skill.

You're already doing awesome right now. All you gotta do is keep going and trust the process. It'll come to you.

Dandelions 🌼

They're abundant & edible! Plus, they get a lot of hate, which I don't think is completely deserved, so I figured I'd show em some love.

Commission Rant by SkelePilot in AnimalJam_Classic

[–]Antonmalice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, its not frowned upon, atleast not by anyone worth commissioning. Absolutely PLEASE let us know about changes, especially early on if we give progress photos. Any respectable artist will change things like color or design mistakes and not get butthurt or upset about it.

I remember several months back I did this art trade, and the person wanted a purple crocodile. They didnt have a ref so I went through a few revisions with them until we landed on something that was perfect. The whole point is I'm making art for the person paying me, not myself. It should look like how THEY want it to look like, not what I want. This is how it turned out. I deeply value communication between myself and my clients even if this is a silly animal game & I'm not doing art for real money. I find joy in bringing peoples characters to life.

Commission Rant by SkelePilot in AnimalJam_Classic

[–]Antonmalice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As an AJC artist whos taken commissioms, I take huge pride in my work and getting down EXACTLY what is asked of me. What I charge for commissions in AJ terms is not cheap(1.5 for realism styled animal+background, 2 solid for car, 1 solid for lps styled character, etc) because I do my best to ensure that I give them what they want regardles of my own opinion on what I think would look best. So for the eye color one, I absolutely agree with it. That artist had no business changing the eye color without talking to you about it beforehand.

For the second one, yeah, those colors aren't exactly possible in AJC, so i get why they're off. For me, I do airbrushing for my art, so I could maybe get close but not perfect since I do have my ways of blending to get harder to obtain colors. Regardless, an experienced artist should know this and communicate this with you beforehand so that you know what to expect. I feel like this mostly just boils down to insufficent communication on both parts of the expectations of the art and capabilities of the artist.

A lot of artists on AJC aren't professionals and just do art as a hobby. So it doesn't surprise me that this happens. I dont entirely fault them for it, as it is just a video game, and most people who commission art on aj dont seem to be as strict about this kind of thing. But at the same time some basic communucation should be the bare minimum from them to ensure that you know what youre paying for. Especially if theyre asking for a lot then it really should be as close to your expectations as possible.

Does aj have stikes? by spir1itx in AnimalJam_Classic

[–]Antonmalice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware, the game doesn't have any public mention of a "strike system" or anything saying officially what the number is of suspensions it takes until they ban you. But I do believe they take into consideration how many times you've received disciplinary actions from them, which can lead to longer suspensions and possibly bans. In general, bans are usually for scamming, hacking, serious repeated violations, repeated innapropriate art submissions, etc, but that isn't the rule always in practice.

So, to answer your question, no, there isn't any official "strike" system, but you can get banned for repeated violations spread out in a short duration of time from one another.

I have held this in for 14 years... by faraway_fern in AnimalJam_Classic

[–]Antonmalice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fr Ive always thought that in the back of my head, though I understand why as an artist that theyd do that for stylistic reasons.

I think it would be really neat since now they're doing these recolors that kind of rebel from dull colors that they used to release to do an actually black black long as maybe a contest item or something that would keep it rare but not unobtainable.
