Absolutely stunning. Amazing work, great colors, good progress. Altogether, I have one word to describe this: epic.

Thanks. I didn't want to make the smoke too big, it was my first time ever playing around with smoke effects. I can certainly try to touch up the gorey decorations.

Hello all. I am Olothontor, commonly known as "Olly" to those who don't feel it necessary to spell out my entire internet handle. Bluntly I have com to assimilate your spriting techniques.

Not-so-bluntly, I'm glad to be here. This seems like an awesome community with a ton of critique to be dished out, and critique is more often than not a good thing for me.

Steal yourselves; you're going to see a lot of spaceships from me. I'm not sure why, I've nevere really been a Sci-Fi fanatic, but spriting ships is just too much fun for me. I have tons of fleet sprites from PW... which brings me to my other point.

I came from the Picture Wars forums, a place with which some of you may be familiar. It is for this reason that I believe my spriting skills are nothing compared to yours, even as my spritings skills are very good compared to the majority of the PW community. I wished to live among the professionals, as it were, and see if I could make it in a graphically based job.

I am merely 16 (about to be 17), and I still have no idea what I "want to be when I grow up"... so I am here to experiment.

I do hope I am welcomed warmly.

Woohoo! Merry Christmas Eve, folks! Let's hope all of your gifts are awesome and jaw-dropping.
