Ok since LordZen told his whole Story I will do so too (and because I donīt know what to do)

Im German, so I played most the time (all the time) on the only German Server avaible: Atlantis. That was 5 years ago.. my goal: I wanted to become Level Tester (yea it was a job lol) I never became Level Tester -_-
When "new" Atlantis came out the Staff decided to copy the Graal 2001 Bomys.
They called them "Namys".I never had gfxed something before, but I tried to make a Namy template by myself.It looked great, so great that I made 6 new ones Then Nils came.... he saw that I was good and hired me.I was so happy because it was my first staff position! We made Auroria Online...(yes you remember right) Nils was a lier, maybe the biggest one on earth (but thats another very, very long story) Ivie was GFX Admin on Atlantis while I was working for Nils.She visited me one time on Auroria and asked me to become GFX on Atlantis.Since Atlantis was my Home server I became staff there (Im still today).I did great work there, I improved my skills and did bigger and bigger things.Ivie left and I became GFX Admin.
While being staff on Graal, I started working on other non-Graal projects for a short or a long time.With guy (I forgot his name) I started doing a game called "********" I think it was only a Metal Slug Clone
I did my favorite gfx there: http://www.angelfire.com/art2/garela...eaven_spec.jpg
Then I tried out ******* and *******, nothing special both were never finished.I went back to Auroria and Nils.It wasnt a graal server anymore.It was a new game with a new engine every week. (This green thing called Nuu was created there Oh I love Nuu)
Then I met Godspeed! Donīt know why but he aksed me to be GFX Admin on a new Server he was going to do.Tempest of Time ( I think it was the greatest server I ever saw )I did a lot of work there and then we stopped.
It was the greatest thing ever happend.Stefan took the whole Staff of Tempest (means Godspeed ,Er1c,Krakken and some others) to develope Graal Kingdoms with him.I thought he would take me too but it wasnīt so.2 month I waited everyday on Graal2001 just to talk to Stefan and finally he added me to the Kingdoms Staff.That was a great time You know who hasnīt dreamed of being hired by Stefan himself XD
So I worked there....and then it was finished.I left my debug RC and went back to atlantis.I was lazy.I loved doing nothing and it was great to idle as a Senior GFX.
With new energy I started to climb higher on the ladder.I decided to become a member of the Global GFX Team.So I met LordZen I missed all the GGT applications in the Forums so I needed again many month to get Zen to hire me.He did And now Im here.. this was my rags to riches story.Noone knows what will happen in the future, but I have plans

I'm more or less all digital in my artwork. I've been using PhotoImpact in different versions ever since I discovered it on a bonus cd that came with out first computer, which was about 5+ years ago. I'm very attatched to it.

As for stuff I do, it's usually websites, signatures, game material, 3d models and the occassional "arty" picture where I express myself. I can sketch somewhat, but as I seldom really draw on paper I don't rely on it. My favorite style is cartoon and cel-shading, I just lovez it. Zelda wind waker is the best looking game made so far IMO.

Isch will not be doing a career in graphics.. or at least I don't plan on it. ;x
