I thought I'd just drop by and say hello to everyone. Osiris invited me here. I'm not much of a graphics designer and I'm only a novice when it comes to codes. So needless to say I need all the help I can get.

I prefer writing and designing the world or realm in which an rp takes place rather than the actual design of the boards themselves. I am OCD when it comes to organization so I prefer keeping things sleek, lean, and easy flowing when it comes to the boards themselves. As far as color theme, images, skin designs....I'm not so great. I have a very limited color usage and I tend to hunt for codes to give me the appearance I desire [or whoever I am helping with a site wants] rather than picking up an already made skin/template or designing one myself.

I do have photoshop cs2 but I have no clue how to really use it. Looking up tutorials for things is when I tend to do. Of course my photoshop does not work properly seeing as its not "official" you could say. I took my flash drive and copied the program from my friend's computer and put it up on my laptop. So needless to say its functions are kind of a mis-hap and I do my best to work with it.

If I had the money I would seriously invest in a proper version of photoshop. But other responsibilities come first of course, and those are currently draining me of every last penny I have. [Ugh the economy sucks here....]

I learned the little bit I do know about coding by picking apart codes from skins/templates I find and try them out. Lots of trial and error.

So, anyways, a little bit about me personally then.

I am FEMALE. Many people mistake me for a male as I have a rather blunt manner of speaking and say what is on my mind. I don't doctor things up to be pretty.

I'm 20 years old.

Science, biology and mythology are my fav topics.

I love animals. I have a dog, two gerbils, and a fish.

I went to school to be a Vet Assistant. Still looking for a damn job because the economy sucks and living in the middle of no where doesn't exactly help. XP It also doesn't help when your certification is only recognized in the state you recieved it in. XP

My fav. colors are: crimson/blood red, black, gold, silver, gray, darker shades of blue.

I've been rping for a total of 10 years, 7 years online. I've owned, co-owned, been a staff member on, and been a member of countless sites.

Sci-fi, fantasy, horror [physical and mental] are my main rp genre's of choice.

I love anime and manga. Zoids, Rurouni Kenshin, Hellsing, Trinity Blood, Fullmetal Alchemist are just a few of my favs.

I'm also a gamer. I own a ps2, xbox360, gamecude, and super nintendo.

I love to cosplay. I made my own cosplay of the Zoid Liger Zero.

I'm currently working on a Star Wars Themed site.

If you want to know any more or have any questions feel free to ask! I don't bite. I promise.

Wow first time anyone has posted a decent introduction thread! Welcome to Graphic Monks and thanks for dropping by I hope everything is working with the skin. Oh I totally didn't realise you were a girl but either way we should have some good topics for you to join in. I also have some really basic Photoshop tutorials and can help you out with that.

[Liger Zero's Fury]

Great to be here. Really? Wow. Usually in my experience people either ignore my posts or grumble at me because I write so much. I'll be honest, writing aside from my cosplay is the only thing I have pride in.

XD yeah, I'm female. Key term as I like to put out there, FEMALE NOT FEMININE!

On another note I'm also a terrible speller. I can't use the spell check provided on proboards cause other wise it always deletes my post. Probably so weird glitch to do with IE. XP

Anyways, thanks! The skin is working out good, there is just one thing I was trying to change and I did manage to do it but then things started getting weird again. XP I tried to solve it on my own but it didn't turn out to great. So I sent you a pm on here. Sorry I keep bothering you so much.

And thanks for the insite about the photoshop tutorials^^ I'll definately look into those.

Cosplay is fun I posted some photos on my Facebook of the convention I went to last Saturday in Sydney called Supanova they had quite a few guest celebs like Amy Aker(Angel), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), James Marsters(Buffy), Sean Maher(Firefly) and Corin Nemec(Stargate SG-1).

I am probably the only person in the world that does not have a facebook account. I really don't like giant social sites like that. The only large social site I'm on is Deviantart. Of course there the focus is different types of art.

I normally go to a convention called Otakon every summer but this year I don't have the money to go. XP Otakon use to be strictly anime but now they have a bunch of sci-fi stuff there as well and video game stuff along with anime. Star Wars, Star Trek, Metal Gear, Buffy, X-men, Harry Potter, the American Super Heros, and other such genres tend to show up.

Some Twilight fans showed up and they made the HUGE mistake of walking right into a Hellsing photoshoot. Oh it was great! All you saw was the horde of Hellsing cosplayers take off after the Twilight fans! They were then joined by Trinity Blood, Black Blood Brothers, some Buffy and Vampire Dairies, Underworld, and several other vampire themed series. I was the only Kenshin cosplayer in the entire horde of vampires chasing after the Twilight fans XD.

Haha I would pay to see that hilarity!

[Liger Zero's Fury]

It was fantastic! I've been digging through the internet ever since that happened hoping that someone caught the entire thing on video and posted up. So far I haven't found anything....tis sad. I'm curious as to whether or not that will happen again seeing as we were very clear on our thoughts of twilight. If I have enough money to go next year I am definately taking the video camera so I'm ready to tape incase something like that happens again.
