So I'm doing my first build sometime soon. And I honestly have no idea what I'm doing in regards to hardware. I want to buy everything on monday because savings. However school has been too much for me these past 2 weeks or so and I still never found the time to sit down and do much research. I have a kind of cookie cutter build, but I know some of you here are really into building rigs, so you can probably do better. Or maybe this one looks pretty okay? I don't know. Budget is ~$1500 (not including keyboard/monitors)

So for the past many years of my life I have been drawing in flash. So this past summer I've decided that I was tired of that and wanted to learn how to paint properly in photoshop (I only knew image manipulation). So anyways after a little under a month of learning and making some quick black and white paintings (which sucked and will not be posted here), I decided to make my first color painting. I decided I didn't want to do anything original yet, so I decided to draw something directly from a reference just to see how well I could shade in color. So the below image is what I came up with

Anyone here have their own motto? Or more importantly, anyone here have a good motto for another member? What about theme song?

Hey, I'm Cipher. This probably.. the 6th name or so I've adopted since I've been on the internet.. I really need to just stick with one. Anyways, I'm a flash animator, I'm not great, but I definitely know what I'm doing. I've had some form of the program for probably six or seven years (CS4 currently). I will admit, I've been eyeing this place for years now, but never got around to stopping by really.

Anyways, nice to meet you all, etc.



Or not, whatever
