This is the Whirled portal for artists. Whirled is a great place for artists. They create the visual content for other players to use and enjoy. As creators, they earn a percentage of the proceeds from sales of items they list for sale in the shop, currently 30%. If an item is listed in coins, the profit comes back to the creator in coins. If an item is listed in bars, the profit comes back to the creator in bling, which can be cashed out for U.S. dollars.

Artists can immediately dive into Whirled by simply uploading their work as backdrops and static furniture to use in rooms. Or they can incorporate their work into remixable items purchased at the shop. Those aren't the only items that can use artwork. All Whirled items can incorporate visuals: avatars, furniture, backdrops, toys, pets, games, images, music, and videos! By learning some simple coding or using Flash, artists can learn how to make their work into anything they can dream up. Or they can team up with coders and other folks to create something as a group.

Decorate Rooms
Once you've uploaded some of your own furniture and a backdrop or two, you can incorporate them into a personalized room. Basic rooms are made up of a full-scene background file called a "backdrop" and any number of movable items called "furniture". You can go even further by adding background music or buying a pet to roam around in your room. Shop for stuff or upload your own items, and then arrange them to suit your mood of the moment. Whirled's room editing panel makes furniture arrangement click-and-drag easy. Learn more here.

Did You Know?

Even if you haven't learned to code yet and don't have Adobe Flash to create animations, items like the Flipbook Animator Avatar allow you to use remixing to create something animated. Learn more in Remix! Discussions.
