I don't exactly recall how I found Pixelation... because that's many years ago. But there's a fair chance that Emlan gave me the link.

First found this place, or rather it's Pixelopolis form, when I noticed an entry for the Christmas stockings challenge (unknown to me at the time.) at Deviantart. A link brought me here. Noticed people like Kenneth hanging around (had known about his site for a while, have much respect for the guy.) and most importantly, that this was an active pixel forum  yet there were was no sprite edits. The stuff of legends.

Then I lost the link...

Searching for "socks" on deviantart didn't get much of a result. I found it again by accident when I found the link to scuba-Steve's KOS 2006 contest. Noticed a link to the original forum topic, clicked it and lo' and behold. This place.

Registration was imminent.

Can't make up my mind about it.

I'm open to suggestions. This might not be the place for it though...

I was messing around with non-pixel Paint art on another forum and someone spontaneously linked me to Pixelation... I was like, no way, I have no place among them! LOOK AT THAT!

But I joined eventually and began a painfully slow journey toward not being ashamed of my own mediocrity.

I guess I could call him a friend...

A small animated version of yourself. Or a portrait. Maybe make yourself look like a video game character you're fond of. ANYTHING. Start a thread with a sketch :) I'll help you make some quick progress and create something you ought to be proud of!

Speaking of avatars... Rox ought to do something new :D

I found Tsugumo's site on Google and started looking up pixel sites and found this.

If i remember correctly he worked for a company named Big Blue Bubble at the time which is in London, the city i live in.. So I started looking pixel stuff

big blue bubble is located in Canada... London Ontario, Canada to be exact.  So I can see where you got confused.  They contacted me not too long ago.  I didn't realize that Tsugumo worked for them though.

I do live in London Ontario, and i've had people recomend me to it.

I was glad that i wasn't the only Pixel artist in london when i found out about the place..
