I went almost the same road with the programs. Paint>Paint Shop Pro>PS Elements>PS CS. I was definitely stuck in the PSP phase for far too long :P

And you already know I love all your graphics as well as your fandoms, there's at least ten from your list I regularly watch/flail over.

PSP was a long phase for me as well *lol*

I cringe when I think about the stuff I made with psp back a few years, but it was a definite learning curve. Actually did a progression post here, quite a while ago now. That early stuff *shakes head at self*

Naww *many hugses back*

I love Merlin..really.. but lately it seems like I lost interest? TT________TT I need to re-watch the show. Bradley & Colin are so cute together.

Your work is inspiring and has been a part of my "inspirational makers" filter for some time now. Love the sheer creativity and coloring of your work.I don't care that our main fandoms don't match; your work speaks for itself.
