okay. i used a mini Waacom tablet and Photoshop to do that crappy sketch, who still uses paint shop? None of my pictures seems to load on any free picture hosting site. Have you checked the website link of mine yet? I'm building the real website in flash 8 right now. Even though i did not fully design that site, its a glimpse at what I am trying to get it. What are the benefits of me hosting my work on here anyways? How long will the site be up for and all of that. I'm serious about this, yet im still working on huge projects at the time. I no disrespect, but I do not put out so easily. Besides, the vibe of this whole thing kind is not suited for me ( after looking around). I know that I am a newbie to this forum, but I still at least try to talk and speak humble and respect one another even though we are behind a screen. with me, respect is key. Certain members on here need to work on their art and story telling before they start trying to bash a newbie in order to make themselves feel good. I do not have the time for this so im out. I'll just be dumb and host my own site and pay the 2 dollars a month fee that comes with freedom of owning and hosting my own.
