Hey people, Phylar here. I was recommended to this site by Chidori611 from the Sundaygamers forum and I agreed to come along. Blah bleh blah

Anyhow, I have always enjoyed Graphics Arts and the such to the point that I found myself in a class devoted to just that a couple years back. I took that class, got high scores, learned Photoshop and other image enhancing service programs and promptly quit. I haven't touched Photoshop for nearly two years now and suddenly, for no reason known to me, I really have this desire to get back into it...so here I am. Having almost no real experience with the program and GFX in general I am starting from ground zero and such I am hoping that you guys can give me a helping hand here.

Pardon, I did not read every single rule to this forum (though I did skim through them) so excuse me if posting these images below is against forum policy.

To give you all an idea of what I can do currently...

http://i41.tinypic.com/2s5ytqq.jpg This one was an experiment, it allowed me to get back into Photoshop. It has alot of problems, but there are also one or two good places here. But heck, best to post the bad with the worse eh ^^.

http://i44.tinypic.com/27y05ft.jpg This one is quite a bit larger then what you see above. It is the second one that I have done...still not used to this program...and probably will never figure out all there is to know. There is just too much to know. Worth a shot though.

http://i42.tinypic.com/111l8jq.jpg Third one I have done (only had Photoshop for about three days now). Its a messy one...but I thought it best to try something a little over the top to see how it worked out.

http://i42.tinypic.com/35a3ztl.jpg The most recent one I have done. Again I decided to try a few things new. But as I don't yet know the tools that would work best here, or have forgotten them, I was forced to make due.

Now please understand that I am in no way trying to promote su**aygam*rs. I am simply posting the above images to show everyone just how far I have to go and what my style is. Also, I am sure I probably violated some rule that I overlooked, if this is so then I beg your pardon and I will say that it should not happen again.

On a side note, I find that with just about anything I do I tend to be different from other people. I wouldn't be surprised that it is the same in this case. I will work hard to try to improve though. In the end, I think that that is all that matters.
