    Why I came here? How I got here?

    I came to PWN in PacMan. :rofl:
    Then I thought "hey, there's a forum too!? lol. :rofl:"
    So yeah..I was in search of Graphic Forums with pacman..and I came for that through google.

    So after my goal was met..I spammed..I mean.. "posted properly" around the forum.
    :)

    My "journey"

    Around 2001, when I was 11 years old, my cousins came over and introduced me to the "capabilities" of Kazaa. I got into the music thing. I also noticed that games were available. I looked to finding games on the Internet as well. I browsed around and went through some free mmorpgs until I found Tibia around 2003. I stuck with playing it and posted on their forums a bit.

    Besides Tibia, I occasionally checked sites such as Newgrounds. On Newgrounds, I saw the Counter-strike flash movies by Wei Xing. At the time, it linked to his crew site, Blackmaze. I joined Blackmaze and posted there for quite a while, despite its small community and traffic. It was then when I was introduced to making signatures and drifted away from playing Tibia. I started making newbie sigs and followed tutorials from Pixel2Life in December of 2004. I was kinda considered one of the "good" designers of Blackmaze, along with 3 others (note that there were only like 10 "regulars" to the forum :lol: ).

    Pixel2Life had a tutorial from Genesis Designs, another graphics forum. I learned a bit, and stayed about a month. From Genesis Designs, I heard Jashin and some others talk about Gamerenders. I joined Gamerenders in January 2005 in order to get some free renders :P . One day, I just felt like posting. I slowly improved over time and began trying new things. Here I am now.

    Started making sigs on Team Compete cause I posted on the forums there for playing Rainbow Six for XBOX.
    Heard about Game Renders (from someone on Team Compete) to get good renders for the sigs I was making.
    Then I couldn't find some renders and decided to render my own stuff and share them here since people shared theirs too me.
