Hey there. I'm not exactly new; I did have an account here before. Though I must admit, I wasn't the most active of members and thus upon returning, I've noticed that my account no longer exists. So, I'm now back, and wouldn't expect any of you to really know me.

So, with that said, it's great to lay my suitcase down here again, and I look forward to seeing some more of the amazing artwork by the members here.


I'm a young graphic artist; a hobbyist - or at least for now. Though, despite it being a hobby, I have gotten a few offers before to be paid for my work, but I decline them as it defeats the purpose of it being a hobby, aye? :P

I've been doing graphic designing for about six years now I believe. It all sparked from this facination that came upon me when I saw what is called "virtual tuning" or "photo chopping." Basically, it's taking a photo of a vehicle, and modifying it using photoshop. I don't have any of my own work to show - sadly - as I lost all my first-time work. And I havn't really tried photo chopping for some years now. I guess it's kind of funny that that is what I started from, and it's one of my weakest points. :blush:

Maybe some of you guys here are into virtual tuning, and may be able to give me a few pointers to "get behind the wheel again." But uh... first, I think I may need to unpack my bags. Just ring the doorbell if you need me. I'll gladly respond. ;)

Thanks for the welcome, Patrick. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one. ^_^

Also, surely you'll see some of my work as time progresses.

Sadly, I'm not really into that kind of design. However, I'm excited to see what you're got to show. :P

Welcome to the board!

I'd love to see your work... get going again! I pretty much did the same thing, but it was with forum making. Good luck, and welcome!

Thanks for all the welcoming... uh... welcomes. :P

Arianna, I have only done about 3 -5 virtual tunes, and all of these were when I first started out to be honest. Maybe one day I'll just open up the garage and see if I can pop another one out, but it's not something I do often. I don't even do it once in a blue moon; maybe once every tenth blue moon? :lol:

pokegirl_g, I am indeed enjoying myself so far, thanks.

Hey there Xanadu! Can't say I've ever tried virtual tuning myself, but it certainly sounds interesting!

...Also, love your avatar.

Thanks for the welcome. As for virtual tuning, it definately is. It really requires an eye for seeing an object how it should be at a certain angle.

Glad you like my avatar as well. I guess it's no surprise that you would. :P
