Well, I've techincally been around for a while, kind of a moocher if you will, living off the C4D packs and sucking knowledge from the tuts here, so I thought it was time to join in and annoy the board with my incessant rambling and pointlessness. Um...I'm Brian, but you can call me Askren. I'm 17, a senior in High School, I play guitar and sing in my band Dragonslayer, I'm a comic artist by trade, and I like to draw stuff. I like heavy metal music, classic rock, thrash/power/speed metal, 80s rock, etc. Hate new age music with a passion. Um...yeah...I've been a GFX "designer" for about 3 and a half months now, maybe a little more. I think I've progressed kinda well in that time (see my sig for examples). I've been around the block of GFX sites, looking for resources, tuts, anything I can incorperate. I've found that GR tends to have the best of most of that stuff. I do have my own meagre little GFX forums, ~No Boundaries GFX~, but I'll cease from promoting that lest I get in trouble. I doubt you care anymore, I've probably bored the hell out of you by now, so I'll cut it short. I guess I'll see you all around. Later. Oh, and one more thing: I use proper grammer. Deal with it.
