Hey y'all! It's been 7-8 years since I've been on this forum and I happened to remember it while having a conversation with someone, so I decided to check back on it!

 

Around 2009-2010, I was pretty active on here as grunty07. At least looking back at old threads that somehow still exist, a lot of people knew me haha. Not sure if any of you from back then are still on here, but if you are, hi!

 

I decided to make this post to say that this forum was my first exposure to graphic design and truly a huge stepping stone in my life. I was a lil kid back when I was on here, and I taught myself Photoshop because of this forum. I'm almost done with college now. My parents pushed me to pursue a career in science for several years, but now I've realized that one of my passions has always been graphic design. Since I left this forum, I've been designing things at school like apparel, banners, logos, Snapchat geotags, etc. Last summer I designed a ton of things for clients while interning with a startup. I started out designing things for fun, and now I've gotten the opportunity to design as a potential career.

 

I honestly have only this forum to credit for sparking my interest in design. To everyone here, especially if any of you were here when I was, thanks for being part of the community! Don't be afraid to cultivate your interests. Keep creating! Life can happen in the wildest ways.

There was one that stood out, pretty much struggled to find anything else to vote but i did. I expected more, based on previous rounds

We should auction the pieces off to whoever wants them at the end of the round, add it to the pot
Round 1 auction and what not

Hey guys, Loving this competition. I don't really have any technical input to pass along to the artists, but i wanted to say great work to all of them!

My first choice is signature #3. From the overall finish of the sig, it seems to have a great deal of quality to my eye. From everything to the text to the well-chosen lighting. 

 

My second choice is signature #1. That speaks to me. That is my style of art captured. Dark and gruesome. Love it but it doesn't feel as much as a quality finish as my first choice thus it is my second.

 

My third choice is signature #4. Overall quality is lesser than my first two choices but I like the chosen words written on the piece. That's enough to get my third choice.

 

Again apologies for the lack of decent feedback. I am no artist unlike you people so it's tougher for me to explain why I like art over other art.

 

Can't wait for round #3.

Omg thank you so much LP!!!
