👨‍🎨 "Disinguished Ripplin' Iguana" 🦎 My First NFT Showroom Artwork 🖼️
<center>![gifthumb.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/justinparke/kKXLlYxT-gifthumb.gif)</center>

I have no artistic background or skills, but I've managed to create a digital artwork for the NFT Showroom, and in the process honed some GIMP software skills.

### **🙅‍♂️ Far From An Artist 🎨**

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I have no artistic background or skills, but I've managed to create a digital artwork for the NFT Showroom, and in the process honed some GIMP software skills. My post payouts just aren't where I hoped they would be after almost 2 years of hard efforts on this blockchain. Because of this, I've ventured out into DCity, and now the NFT Showroom to explore possible greener pastures.

### **🦎 My Iguana Subject 📷**

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Nearly two weeks ago I published a [**post**](https://peakd.com/hive-127788/@justinparke/amazingnature-apart-mashup-the-curious-kitchen-lizard-paramaribo-suriname) about this iguana encounter, and I figured the shots would be a fun medium to explore some new-to-me features and tools of the [**GIMP**](https://www.gimp.org/) image editing software. I already use this program to create my thumbnails, but I am on a mission to learn the program inside and out, and still have a long way to go.

### [**NFT Showroom Link - Distinguished Ripplin' Iguana**](https://nftshowroom.com/justinparke/gallery/justinparke_wonders-of-nature_distinguished-ripplin-iguana)

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I am so excited to finally say I am an "**artist**", and thanks to **@juliakponsford** for answering all my questions and helping with me registration. Just going through the experience of designing and tokeninzing a piece has already given me an idea for my next work, but I guess I should wait and see if I can earn my listing fees back from this very distinguished iguana first. 

### **🦎 A Little Something For @DCityGame 🏨**

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Now that DCity earns me more daily than my blog posts, I figured the least I could do was donate one of these pieces to [**DCity.io**](https://dcity.io/)'s **@DCityAuction** account, so if any of you are on DCity, you may be bay able to snatch this reptilian relic over there in the auctions tab.
