Hello Gfxvoid,
I am isgie but you can call me Brian. I am 14 and I have been doing gfx for about a year. The first 6 months, I did not make much progress but recently, I have been improving.
My friend, bitethedust, recommended this place for me. Both him and I believe this place will really help me improve. I may not be a photoshop user but a lot of the tutorials seem to work with the program I use which is gimp. While I am here, I am hoping to work on my text, depth, c4d placement, smudging, stocks, etc.
