Yay finnallllllllly 10,000 posts! took me only 235234 years but it finally happened. Not gonna have a huge celebration though but just lettin yall know
. I think I'm gonna explain some stuff about me considering I have dropped off the known member list (I think).
Most of you know I am Canadian, I was born in Timmins ON, but recently moved to a more conservative area, not gonna say specifically but its near Hamilton. I am 16 years young, and just started my 3rd year of high school, and man I <Censored>ing hate it hahaha. I'm actually pursuing a career in Graphic Design and have set up all my courses to pursue that career. I do thank Sportz Insomnia for that, considering this site is the first one where I got hooked onto making sigs and walls and many large pieces. So if I get anywhere in life, I'll be sure to refer this site if its still around.
When I first started making graphics, I was told I should give up and that I had zero potential to become a good/great artist. But like Nikki Minaj, I truely believe my haters are my motivators. So that just pushed me to become great. One thing I am very proud of though, is that I have never ripped, stolen or learned any techniques from PSDs. All my ideas come straight from my head, but working with Photoshop for so long, I am able to look at a plain .JPG or .PNG and can see what effects were used. Speaking of which, I am entering my 5th year (i think) of making signatures and graphics, SO HAPPY I LASTED. I did take 2 long breaks in that span though, which left me out of GFX making for about half a year each time.
Recently, I have not been on SI posting around the forum as much as some members wish I would, not mentioning anybody... Pm7, but I have just not found time and I really just like coming on talking about GFX, and seeing which people have improved = PUGZ and which ones I'm waiting for to return = SNOWY. But we will see what happens .
In conclusion, I'm greatful to have reached this "milestone" on such a fantasic forum. I love SI above the rest, and I will probably never stop posting here, even if it reduces to once a month. Thank you SI for making me who I am in graphics, although I am not even anybody ahah.
