<p>I'm thinking of making a very, very, short cartoon.</p><p>Let me back track a bit.</p><p>I have been drawing a lot lately, and considering I'm not very good at drawing proper human beings yet, I've spent a ridiculous amount of time drawing everything else. Especially caricatures. </p><p></p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000438201.jpg" style="background-color: transparent;"/></p><p><br/></p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000444688.jpg" style="background-color: transparent;"/></p><p>I can't even begin to explain how much I love drawing them. I think I've gotten pretty good at it because I've gone from drawing them from twenty minutes to like five, I don't know. </p><p>My drawing book is filling up fast with very weird faces that I just love to stare at randomly. I've even started to change the reference images here and there to create something a little bit different (emphasis on <em>little </em>😅).</p><p>Anyways, these random faces have done an amazing job at inspiring a story ✨ </p><p>To be honest, I have only come up with the core of the story and not much else.</p><p>I would share what it's about but I'm really scared someone is going to do something with it before I get the chance 😭</p><p>The story is pretty cool in my opinion. (My sister thinks something similar to it has already been made though, but she can't remember the name of the cartoon (if it exists) and I know I haven't watched anything like it, so I'm hopeful.)</p><p>I think it'd be very fun to write, but all the things I've drawn lately has really given me this weird urge to see one of my stories as a movie of some sort. (Isn't that every writer's dream, though?)</p><p>I'm currently learning how to animate and even though I'm absolutely terrible at it right now, I'm also hoping that changes with time and patience and practice. </p><p>It'd be nice to have someone to work on this with 😅 I believe that if I decide to do everything myself I'll end up spending months or years on it (or not at all), considering I'm starting from zero. </p><p>I've heard that there are AI options though, but....I don't know. I think that'll be a last resort. If at all. It'd be really cool to say I animated it myself though, so let's see how it goes 😅</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
