Thank you Svip for the honor of AARtist of the Month!
When I started Rome AARisen, I had no idea how to use Photoshop or any graphics tools whatsoever (and, well, it shows early in the story.. :rofl
. I've mostly learned through trial and error, in both the AAR and side projects, so to receive this award means a
great deal to me... it's an affirmation that all those hours cursing because the layer button didn't do what I thought it did, or other silly things, was well worth it and people have enjoyed the end result. I haven't done a battlemap in quite a while... It's time I do another...
Ironically when I first started, I'd envisioned
RA to avoid using movie stills for character pictures at all--now they're a staple. I can't claim credit myself for finding all of those pictures... [
AlexanderPrimus,
RGB, and
Calipah have all been a tremendous help in pointing me to websites that have good movie stills
such as Long Ago Captures, or sharing their own collections of images with me (
RGB and
Calipah deserve special thank yous here). Without their help, I doubt I would have half the character images I do.
Thank you all once again, and I hope people continue to enjoy the artwork I put into the story!
