    You have been one of my favorite artists here for a while, really liked your wallpaper with the spartans in individual rectangles, the disintegrate sig that you made a tut for, and I like most of the other sigs you did.

    Good job. Seriously.

    Dude! I totally remember this!

    [​IMG]

    I'm kinda motivated to 1: start sporting that sig again, and 2: Make my own one of these. Even if it can't come close to yours I think it'd be cool :p You're an inspiration bro, thanks for all your help.

    You've inspired me to FINALLY make a signature. It has been months since the last time I've tried!
    The best work I've seen in my life.

    Nope, those were my firsts. I joined the signature school here, and Juggernaut448 taught me how to create a basic signature, so that's why they look too good to be true for firsts.

    Wow, I know it's been a while since I last even glanced at G&A, but wow dude, I think my subconscious took that as an imaginary challenge to my non-existent talent, which used to actually be there... I think.

    Really like the reach stuff you did, glad I watched your tut on userbars, otherwise I wouldn't have realized I could animate in Photoshop.

    Uhh some arn't showig up, but look through theres one or two I can't say a lot about but as a a whole...quite impressive.
