My Bio

This is a bit long-winded, but I am a dedicated, hard-working man who is continuing his ambition to make sprites to hopefully one day break into the game making industry and leave his mark on it.

I've been making sprites since about 2006 mainly sticking to internet forums dedicated to Sonic and such since they were very active back then, which is why I still have such a fondness for the character and easily gel with people who are into him. :)
It wasn't until 2011 however that I began to explore making custom work, and started to realize my true ambition to making games for people to play and enjoy, since then I have helped work on a student's project for school as a test of my skills which proved fun, but now I wish to try and have a real crack at making my own game, even if it takes me ages to make I aim to get it done!

I'm one of the oldbies on dA, having been lurking here since at least 2005 when I was exploring the depths of the interned, it wasn't until the end of 2008 that I finally made my first account on here to start posting work, interacting with fellow pixel artists that I knew at the time on here, and also making new friends along the way. It was a pretty fun time for me, since I met a lot of good people, some of whom I still have contact with to this very day and in my opinion, are all great artists in their own right and I hope to see them make it big as well.

Sadly, my old account had to be deactivated, I won't get into the details but it was spammed to hell and back, ruined beyond repair, and I had to basically terminate it, and lived in hiding on dA for the last 1 and a half, but now, i've decided to give this place another chance, since with all the issues going on at other media platforms, and the internet becoming more and more of a closed space with little room to move about, i'm happy to still have some freedoms in places such as dA, even if it has its problems.
I'm going to be uploading all of my work that I had before on here, plus maybe even release some bits that I haven't shown before, or not for a very long time.
I hope you enjoy what you see, and I wish to get to know my watchers and followers well. :)
