Fantastic. I'll look forward to it.

Question: It's stupid but I just want to be sure. I already have a shop opened in the museum section. Am I allowed to open a gallery as well?

Shouldn't matter if they suck. It's your history as a GFX artist. Every piece you make should always be archived.

sorry but you were teamed with ben and ben can't win <333

Please do. I'll check it out. I'm curious on what GFX work you have under your belt. Don't you keep a portfolio?

Indeed. Hey, I looked up m12 and Jas0n. They have some pretty cool stuff. Especially m12's gallery. Do you have a gallery at all?

Yeah. Between 2011~2013ish. I was on and off. You?

Ah, I see. Usually you only want to have layers that comprise small changes as "finishing touches". Not... doing that throughout the entire piece. Jesus man. No wonder it takes you 2 hours to do a tag.

50 layers? That's... a lot. I use 20~30 layers MAX for my signatures.

What are you doing to get that many layers? I'm curious.

That's a very long amount of time put into one tag. It takes me about 30 minutes max to make a signature. About 45min~1hour for my heavy effect style. But a couple hours? Damn, man.

I can tell by looking at your tags that you spend a long time on them. How many layers do you typically have?

My apologies for the wall of text. I did say it was long, right?

Glad that I sparked some inspiration into you. Keeping up with weekly signature competitions isn't much of an issue for me. I can see it being an issue for some people if it takes you a long time to churn out a signature.

Continuing...

Unfortunately though... That's when the site started dying. I was only a DSigner for 2 months before the team was dissolved. I only go back to the site every once in a while to catch up on what's happening and to participate in the dead SOTWs (reason why I made that Mario kart signature a day ago).

Anyway, after that, I was on my own. I even took a hiatus from being on forums for about a year. I've still been doing graphics ever since; building and hardening my skills as a GFX artist. After AC:NL came out, I decided it was time to join a forum again. So, here I am. That's my story. [/COLOR

I've noticed the GFX community here isn't exactly active. I'll definitely look up those two.

How did I get started? That's a long story. I got started on Wiipals.com (now NintendoWorlds). It's a dead site now, but when I was active on it (2007~2009), it was one of the most active Nintendo Friend Code sites around. I believe it was second to friendcodes.com in popularity. That forum had SOTW competitions every week (Signature of the week) and it was very popular. There were maybe 7~10 participants every week and they were gruesome battles in who's signatures were better than others. The GFX competitions and the GFX shops that some of the staff had sparked my interest. The forum also had their own GFX team that were called the DSigners (Nintendo DS and designer mixed into one word). I desperately wanted to be apart of that team. I worked my ass off over the course of about 2 years to get into the team. Finally, around 2010, I did.

So. How long have you been doing GFX? I'm curious.
