Good morning /asp/ I'm late as always to the conversation but it won't stop me from contributing.
First of all the few *friends, who were discussing audio stuff. I've posted myself a lot here and asked people to check for mic quality and stuff. I run a 10+ year old 100€ auna mic through USB and absolutely no editing and I've had barely anyone complain. I realized yesterday i was actually sort of having it in the wrong position and now the sound is pretty much perfect. I can't possibly justify to myself paying for soundproofing despite sitting in an almost empty 30m2 room or upgrading the mic if I can't tell the difference. I'm not telling you what to do and what not to do, but think about it this way: It really isn't 2007 anymore, but that means that technology has come far too. While i believe build quality has gone down a lot in some areas, even cheaper entry level microphones are gonna have good sound quality. The hardest part is going to pick a model because you can't be entirely sure how it sounds beforehand. If that's the case make yourself aware of return policies and maybe even order multiple mics to have side-by-side comparisons. You can send stuff back and while it is effort, you will learn a lot in the process.
Don't always take others words for it. When in doubt nothing beats experimenting yourself.
As for the recent fiver artist conversation, my artist has been taking his time, but i knew that beforehand and he's normally not open for commissions. We've been working over 2 months on my design (it's just a picture not a model), but he's been a great artist. In this case of a fiver artist... it's hard to say, but a lot of young aspiring artists are terrible at managing time it doesn't always mean they are bad artists. They are two different skillsets. I won't comment on the quality, if it was worth your money i don't see any problem.
This was my daily textwall, love and kisses.
