Name: Megan
Age: 22
Program: Sumo Paint 3.7 & I'm currently messing with the trial version of Photoshop CS5.1 -- Also, my husband said he will get me the one I'm trying out next month (I might change my mind and get a different PS program, who knows).
How long have you been into it: Since the beginning of January '12 -- So I'm still VERY new to Sumo & PS. I got into Sumo & PS because I wanted to make signatures for some sites I'm on, and plus I want to start making things for my BG page. And I got into it because I enjoy creating these digital works of art.
Experience: I'm gaining it as a I go.
Weakness: Well, my weakness would be that right now, I don't know what the heck I'm doing half the time, unless I'm following a very detailed tutorial, hah.
Strength: I'm not sure that I have a real strong point yet, but I'm sure I will in a few months to a year from now.
Examples of your work:








Sorry there were so many, but I couldn't just pick three haha, I had to put these six, because I am just so in love with all of them.

CREDITS
+ The bokeh texture I used in signatures 4 & 6 can be found here: http://www.reencoded.com/2010/10/05/awesome-freebies-ultimate-collection-of-free-bokeh-textures/ and it's called Blue.
+ The paper texture for the background that I used in signature 2 can be found here: http://lostandtaken.com/gallery/tag/paper the textures don't have names either, and I'm not even sure which page I found it on but it's there.
+ All the photos I found from searching the images on google, so I don't have the links to the exact sites that I found them at, sorry.
+ I don't know where I found the quote in signature 1 either, but again, search for it on google and there will probably be a ton of sites with it on there.
+ As for the lyrics in signature 2, it's from the song Broken by Amy Lee & Seether.
+ The lyrics from signature 6 are from the song Faster by Within Temptation.
+ Bands, Songs, and Lyrics can be found here: http://www.letssingit.com. Just type in the band name or the song name and you'll find it!  

Hopefully though I will be able to get some done of my son soon once I learn the ropes of making the awesome sigs that the ladies on here make!  

Also if you like my work or have any tips, please let me know by sending me a PM on here! Oh and if you use the signatures I have created please credit me. I have worked really hard on all of the graphics I posted, and would just like it if I could get some credit.

Thanks for looking!
