Hi people!
I've been with this forum for a long time, as a lurker!
I created my account some years back, and have posted some art for critique. Regretfully, I did not follow up on all the pointers given on those, and the threads were eventually abondoned by me.
Since then, my time on Pixelation has been spent reading theory, and not doing enough practical work (read: "none at all!").
I started coming back and checking the forum regularly since a couple of weeks ago. Bad timing, considering it recently went down in flames for a week!
Anyway, it, and I, are back. And this time around, I'm going to make a sincere effort to stay with my projects and the forum.
As for more general information, I can mention that I live in Sweden, at the west coast (the BEST coast!). I was born in the very late 80s' (too late!), and have been growing up with video games being my main point of interest since I got a GameBoy, roughly around the same year that it was first released. I like most types of games, but I have a tough time keeping up with new (mainstream) releases. Latest released one I played was Mass Effect 2, I think. No matter, I spend enough time as it is on old fighting games and arcade action-type games such as shmups and platformers, anyway.
As far as art is concerned, I've taken every chance given during my standard school years to study it. Though I've never done any advanced art studies, and my grasp of real life drawing is very limited. Nevertheless, I'm still having a lot of fun with drawing/art, and spend a lot of time thinking about it.
Thanks for having me!
