Yay! Another fellow Texan! Welcome to pixelation, where all your dreams come true. If you're looking for serious critique, then this place is for you. Also, "we needz more of demz women folk round' these parts."
Just remember when someone is critiquing you here, to not take it as a personal attack, and learn from what they are suggesting. Growth is a fundamental part of an artist's world. You can never know too much in this field. And don't be shy to give some of us critiques also.
Good luck, and have a nice stay!...
