    Happy New Year to you as well!! <3 n_n;;

    And you have no idea how right you are~! I don't drink-- so New Years tends to fall on the sedentary side for me. It's a good thing I've got a strong support network and, of course, my good friends on PC. ^o^

    The CSS thread is here, actually. As for gradient maps, I actually have yet to add anything about it. :p People generally spam gradient maps and neglect color adjustments so I made it a priority to explain stuff about color adjustment first. Although it doesn't really deal 'step by step' with it. It is more like 'if you use them, you can change stuff to a large degree. Examples below'. Selective colors is pretty much something that you'll learn only by experimenting. I know I did.

    As for the profile customization, you can actually change colors. Go to you userCP and click on customize profile to do that. You can't apply backgrounds, though. That's a supporter & staff only thing. Supporters are those who've donated some money to PC. You can find more about it here. :]

    Being a mod doesn't really make me all that busy, haha. Not especially in a not-so-active section like ours. Plus, our user-base is great so spam is rare. c: And thank you! I wish the same to you!

    Actually it is more due to me being awfully lazy. I tend to keep stuff quite disorganized, haha. So yeah, all that clutter and those directories could probably have been much easier to navigate if it weren't for me being a lazy bum. :p And haha, I just try random stuff. Whatever I feel suits the stock, really. And the rule of the thirds was something I learned a little late. But I try to apply it to maximum works of mine. I actually do believe it works really well a lot of times.

    As for bokeh, you can find TONS of them on Deviantart. You don't really need to make them yourself since there are a lot of people who've already gone through the trouble of doing so. ;] I just downloaded them from Deviantart and other sites. Google 'bokeh packs'. ;]

    Correct text-spacing can work wonders. :] Learned that from Abnegation. As for color adjustments, you'll need to take a look at some psds to notice how massive of a change they can bring about. I'll probably link you some stuff later. For now though, you may take a look at the resources and tutorials thread I sticked. There's an example on color adjustments in there. Also yeah, gradient maps are useful. :3

    And naah, you'll probably be able to do it just fine. All I do is random stuff. Anybody can do that, haha. And I know you understand all the basics. Someone who understands them will probably have much less problems, tbqh. ;]

    The source picture isn't really changed much. Apart from its colors, maybe. Basically what we do is add all sorts of textures, c4d structures, brushes and fractals which work as effects enhancing the overall look of the tag or the piece in question and fills out the blank space in it as well. I recently made a video of it all, tbh. What I did in there isn't what I do all the time, no. But it will probably give you a good idea about the stuff that goes into making a generic 'Dero' tag. XD; The video can be found here.

    Oh, and you can check out the resource and tutorials thread I stickied if you wanna know more about the technical stuff. :]

    Yeah, depends on the studios really. If you dont have a good studio head you can get that. Good you wanted to take that route though! Good luck with everything :3
    Kura
    No worries at all! And glad to welcome you! :3 I hear you are doing game design yes? Good luck with that! The gaming industry is competitive but keep at it! :33

    Atta, boy! :] And your contributions mean a lot to artists like us, just to let you know. So don't stop doing what you do!

    In due time, I'll try to relax/change the rules a bit so they don't seem too restrictive. That'll probably help the section out. So don't worry about that. :]

    Thanks! I'm trying to break out of my shell online (hard as heck), iRL (easier) and everywhere in between, so I shall do my best.
