New GIMP-freak in da place !

[Ishimaru Chiaki]

Hello everyone !

I've heard about this site while searching sprites and viewing fan made sprite anims on Youtube.

I'm new to spriting but not new to GFX in general. I use GIMP since 2006 and I used to mainy make design elements for websites. And today, I just finished the first version of my first sprites that I'm going to show in the appropriate section.

A lil' bit of myself now : My first name is Caroline and I'm 30 years old. I live in a remote area in Canada, more precisely in the Province of Quebec, and I'm a French speaker, so excuse me if my English isn't quite perfect.
Last fall, I finished studies in cooking and now I work in the ready-to-serve department of an IGA supermarket for two months.

I'm a Linux user since 2008 (gosh, I remember the first time I installed Ubuntu on my PC, I was friggin' nervous ! XD) and I recently upgraded to Lubuntu 14.04 LTS. Seriously, I REALLY don't miss Windows !

I'm also a retrogamer. I grew up with NES and SNES. I'm a fan of the Final Fantasy serie (4 and 6 are my favs) and of RPGs in general. And i'm also a BIG fan of Yoshi since childhood. I used to draw the green dude a lot when I was a child ! Unfortunately, I suck in platforming game (I'm too perfectionist) so in the Yoshi games, I mostly played the puzzle games.

I also like listening to J-pop, power metal and videogame OST (mostly FF/Chrono series) and reading heroic fantasy.

And a last detail : I'm a cat lover and I can't live without one so I plan to adopt one in a shelter when I'll have my own apartment.

That's all for now.

Now I'm going to post my first sprite sheet in the appropriate section.

See ya !
