I may be new when it comes to creating on here. But when it comes to my first time here... well, let's put it this way. I'm 38 years old. I love art in just about every form. I been in love with art because of the artist community making their fun little 1999-2005 fanart, original pieces, comics, videos, games, the whole deal. I did disappear from the likes of Newgrounds and albinoblacksheep among other sites I used to regularly look at like icybrian and zantetsuken (yes that existed. Not sure if it does now or not, but it was cool, and I'm a fairly big final fantasy nerd)
You probably already heard it before with people praising the awesome folks keeping sites like this alive. But no joke, that's one of the coolest things about coming back and deciding to be part of the community, supporting fellow artists, sharing my love of art. I never really gave it much thought at first, but places like this really do owe their continuation to everyone that loves this place, I'm glad to be counted among them, especially as a fan way back in it's earlier days. I'm happy to see how far it's come, and happy to see everyone still here as well as new people coming in to see places like this to share their artistic world to. Because that in my opinion is exactly what this place is about :)
