    Hello! I'm a recently restarting GFX artist. I've been doing GFX since 2009 with a 3 year long break from 2013 - 2016. I got most of my experience from setting up shops on various forums and having several buddies who all shared tips and tricks with me. Because I am a returning artist after a 3 year hiatus I am limited in resources so beginning tags might be a bit bland. Zappy made me get Photoshop again just like she made me join this site. So now I'm back in the art business! I'll update this with more information as time goes on.

    So we're going to start the gallery by working backwards. So newest tags first and oldest tags last. Additionally since it has been so long I am likely to be missing a lot of my newer tags (apologizes for that). Hopefully it'll give an idea of how I've "evolved" over the years.

  • And you say you haven't touched photoshop in years? haha (are the broken links of 2011-2012 proof of this xD)

    Man, your gallery is really giving me the flashbacks of your shop back in PSN years ago. Although if you dare use text again like you used to back then I would disown you as a friend xD - I am really glad you've come back (thank the Fairy and Nina for making you get PS haha)

    Prehistoric Times is still the best tbh

  • It's really interesting to see how much you improved from when you first started! It looks like you fixed most of the mistakes you used to have, which is great. Your latest piece has nice flow and the background effects definitely enhance the render. I also like what you did with the lights :-]

    This is my favorite tag of yours, though:

    Love the smudging here, and the black/white works well. Text isn't too bad or out of place either.

    Overall, it's awesome that you decided to pick up graphic-making again!
    I'll keep an eye out for future updates ;-]
