Bio:
Where to begin... I was never any good at this kinda crap... I guess I'll just start out talkin bout myself, I guess. I was born in Tucson, Arizona on August 30, 1989. I've since lived in Arizona, New Jersey, and Minnesota, where I am now. I am male, 17 years of age, and of Hispanic heritage (ZOMG BEAN IS A BEANER DURHUR). I currently live near Minneapolis, and I am planning to attend the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, where I will major in Comic Art and Animation. My personal interests include drawing, spriting, playing videogames, taking wals during hot days (and by hot I mean 110 - 120 degree weather), playing tennis, and overall living. My favorite video games include the Mega Man series, Castlevania, Pokemon, Sonic, Metroid, and Zelda, among others.
Alrighty, now that you know about me, let's move on to how I got here in the first place. My first introduction to spriting was around 1999, where I unknowingly started ripping and recoloring Mega Man X4 sprites into Super Saiyans. Yes, commence the laughter. I was like, 10, so shut up. Anyways, I kept doing that for a few years until around 2002, where I made my first edit, which basically was a resized, crappily edited X that was meant to look like Samus. I finally started customing around late 2004, which was about the time I found out about Pixeltendo. I had lurked about the forums and The Spriters' Resource before, so that I had a pretty good idea of how sprites were made and whatnot. I finally joined PT on January 8, 2005, where I first chose an online persona of a red tank, and posted my crappy ML styled Goomboss, which, strangely, most everyone liked, even though it really wasn't in the style.
From there I kept spriting and becoming more and more known, winning second place in the first TUG-whatever tourney. After that, I kind of was an on/off member, leaving, coming back for a short while then leaving again. Recently I've been more active and into ripping, ripping games such as MMXtreme 1 and 2, Pokemon Crystal, and Metroid, among others, while improving my spriting skills. I also was a site updater for a short while, but I quit for personal reasons. Meanwhile I have also been improving my art skills, which I hope to make a career out of by becoming a character designer / comic artist. Until then, I'll just keep chilling here, with all my friends and companions. Love you guys~ <3
Consoles Owned:

Interesting Fact:
Many people, including Shawn and Marnic among others, have said that I have the most original character design on PT. I dunno if that's true, but I couldn't come up with anything else for here. So BLAH!
