Bio:
Let's see, where to begin, where to begin.... Well let's start at the start and take away. I have always been a Mario Kart fan. Always have been, always will. So I finally get big into a little invention they call the "internet." So I'm browsing the web and I come across this lovely little forum called "Mario Kart Central." I went through many fun times there, browsing, chating, making more posts on a daily basis than flakes of skin fall of my feet. Then one day I go to the arts board and I run into a guy known as MC Bacon. He posted a really neat Link pixel art. I was in awe and I wanted to learn how to do it. Later that day, I get an Instant Message by MC Bacon and the rest is history.
Bacon went on to create a little site called "Ninsprites" now known as "The Spriters Resource." I even got my own little page on Ninsprites until some people complained about it being unorganized. But yeah. As Ninsprites evolved so did my skills, kind of. But by the time Ninsprites became something big I had lost my mentor to the admins of PT. But I continued on in the world of spriting. Though nothing I made was too extravigant. But I wanted to change all that. I want to proove I wasn't mediocre at best, I was good. Kind of.
So there was this compo going on, Super Mario RPG, on Pixeltendo and I wanted to enter. So I did. I decided on what to make, but didn't quite know how to make it feel like it was different than the other entries. So I turned to my good friend Kingy. He helped me learn different shade techniques and styles. After that, I went on to make the infamous Mack the Knife sheet. I came in second in the compo. But my spriting career took to new heights.
Now just a simple spriter/mod on Pixeltendo. Nothing's really slowing down. Spriting is still my favorite past time and I hope to make a career of it. Ripping's not bad either, most of the stuff you'll see of mine are rips. But yeah. I'm honored to be up here with greats such as Silver, Ton, Kingy and Frario.
Consoles Owned:
SNES, N64, GBC, GBA, NDS, PSX, PS2, PSP
Interesting Fact:
I'm dreadful afraid of the Chucky doll from Child's Play. I don't know what it is, but ever since I was a young child, he's the only horror movie character to strike fear in my heart.
Another Fact:
I probably wouldn't sprite as much if I didn't have all my online pals. I love you guys *sniff* sprite strong man, sprite strong! GO JESUS!

My Personal Favourite:
 |
Name: Custom Mack the Knife
Inspiration: Super Mario RPG Compo on PT and Kingy's spriting lessons.
Reason: This is my favorite sheet cause it marked a turning point for me. I was no longer saw as a cool guy but meh spriter. I was saw as a meh guy but cool spriter. This sheet really showed me and everyone else that I could sprite something worthy of getting compo votes. And I did. I came in second >> But still, better than ever before!
