Spiridon Salute's You

Well, I guess I should say hello like everybody else. lol
I've been doing signatures for about 2 years now and I only use GIMP. I've tried Ps but once you use one program long enough it's very difficult to transfer over. I love how easy GIMP is to use and I love how I even have my own custom made loading screen for it. Theres a video on youtube explaining how to do this. This is the third gfx site I've ever been a part of. And I hope to stay a part of it as long as possible. This seems like a very nice community.
My name is Spiridon, obviously. My real life name is Steven. If you would rather call me that feel free to do so.
I take all constructive criticism in a positive way and I expect everyone else to do the same. I will update my portfolio accordingly so stay tuned!
I hope everyone here has a wonderful day!

Sup Steven, I used Gimp for a good 2 years also. I highly recommend transitioning though. It's tough but definitely worth it. Gimp just becomes impractical at certain points and PS can really improve your workflow.


Have fun!

Welcome to NoireFX Steven, you seem to be a really nice guy, i like your attitude.
Hope you have fun and enjoy the forums.

Welcome.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. There is one thing I wish to tell both of you guys right away though. I'm the lead Support Staff member at Blacksungfx.com which means it is my job to promote BSGFX everywhere else. I will try my hardest NOT to do that here. So, if for any reason an issue involving my position here or there arises we will be able to understand eachother a little bit more. If you guys wish to know anything else, just ask.
Thank you again for welcoming me to this upcoming site. I suggest making a group for the site on dA for people to join and then link up over here.

Thanks Spiridon, we do have a Deviantart Group, it's http:/noirefx.deviantart.com feel free to join/watch it.
Also, we could do an agreement with BSGFX for mutual promotion, if it isn't a big problem.

OK, I'll +watch it right now.
Also, I'll talk to Omen (BSGFX Owner) about such a thing.
Thanks for understanding me on this. Most forum owners would get real defensive and flip out on me for typing that. lol (I'm not joking)
It's happened to me a few times already unfortunately.

Yeah don't worry, we can get pretty trollish, but we won't show disrespect.

Welcome to the forum, btw. Have fun!

Hey bro, Welcome to NoireFX. I hope you become an active part of our community. And enjoy your stay.

Also I suggest you upgrade to Photoshop like Divide suggested. It's truly a better program to use.

Yeah, but right now I've only got a few more months till Boot Camp and I don't wanna spend every waking moment until then trying to figure out a new program. Thank you again for all the warm welcomes!

Welcome aboard, Steven. I know a nice guy named Steven, and hope you'll prove to be just as great a guy. Hope to see you around! - 3D

Thanks for the welcome Blender.
A tip for you my friend... when resizing images remember to keep the aspect ratio locked. Your avatar has been stretched, you forgot to lock the aspect ratio. lol
