When I first entered the world of Photoshop a few months back, I didn't know a damn thing. So, I browsed the net looking for tutorials and/or help with what the heck I was doing/going to do.
Then I eventually stumbled upon BioRust. I remember I immediately went right for the downloads section nabbing whatever looked neat. And to think at the time I didn't even know what a layer style was. All I knew is that I had this awesome art program that could make cool looking crap.
Then my credits ran out. I was like, crap, now what? So, I began browsing the site a bit more, learning I could comment on art, post art, post in the forums, and so forth. This intrigued me some.
I thought posting my art would be a pretty happening thing. So, it was obvious that's what I did. Not for the credits, mind you, just to show off what I could do, well, more or less of what I couldn't do.
Well, I think I ended up posting like twenty or so wallpapers based on a video game that I'm a fan of, DarkStalkers. They all bumped everyone else's art off the front page. To make it worse, they all had slight variations. I thought a blue and black gradient was kick ass back then, don't ask. So, all you could see was these blue wallpapers with different characters all over the homepage of BioRust.
I honestly didn't know all of them would be posted at once. I was thinking only a few, and the rest would end up in my own gallery.
Well, someone had made a comment that I was posting spam. Yeah, there were some words between us, and Tamlin was the ref. Ah, memories.
After all was said and done, I was shocked I didn't get banned for all those posts. All I could wonder is what people thought of me for posting all those wallpapers, much less, crappy work, lol. I was almost afraid to come back.
My experience with BioRust has been right on since then. I just don't post as much at once now. In fact, I'm afraid to post more than two items in one day!
All in all, I love the people here like they were family, just without the noise and annoying phone calls in the middle of the night. I just wish to say thank you to everyone here for their continuous contributions to the BioRust community and making my stay a pleasant one indeed. You people rock!
