Background in art:
I've actually started drawing since 1996. It either started with seeing a poster from Batman and Swamp thing...or this anime I now know as Ghost in the Shell.
My primary influence was the Sonic the hedgehog comics and games, I would draw them all day.
A couple years later I was given what must've been over 2000 comic books, the earlier half consisting of comics i didn't give a shit about, like Star Trek and Star Wars. The latter and more interesting half consisted of classics such as:
- American/European : Lobo, Aliens, Hellraiser, Sandman, Judge Dredd, BloodCry, Orchid, Transmetropolitan
- Manga : Appleseed, Dominon Tank Police, Xenon, Crying Freeman, Fist of the North Star, Ranma, Lum, Battle Angel Alita, Gundam
- And of course...more adult comics
Ahh..good times.
After that I just got into a bunch of art and its craft from the influences below
Background in programming:
I started out in QBASIC in order to develop videogames. I then just picked it up in other languages.
Thank you Ken Silverman, for developing the Duke3D engine, which is...strangley in use even to this day.
