SECTION I: Introduction____________Prior to making avatar edits, I have not been drawn for a long time, on paper nor on the computer. I started making avatar edits, however, after seeing Kichigai M.'s magnificent signature. When I saw it for the first time, I was amazed! I stared at it for so long, watching the animation loop over many times. Inspired (and with some free time on my hands), I read up on how to create gif animations. I then made my very first animation with ImageReady:
Nothing near the level of Miss M.'s work, but I was satisfied enough to place it in my signature. And so I've had my run at an animated signature, and that was the end of avatar editing for me...
...or so I thought.
I started getting a number of PM's from Gaia members asking about the animation. Soon enough, a couple of people started asking if I could draw their avatars dressed as an anime character. Since I had the time, and I thought it was quite fun, I made a couple of more:
 
The response I received was quite positive. I wanted to familiarize myself more with Photoshop, so I decided to start up a thread in the anime forum to see if anyone else was interested in getting an avatar edit. Back then there were still no Gaia Exchange, and no Trading feature, so all edits I made were solely for the purpose of getting some Photoshop experience while satisfying random Gaians that happen to stumble onto that thread. The overall reaction was a bit overwhelming, however, with requests pouring in day after day; I soon found myself with 100+ requests. I finally had to stop making edits when the school term started again, but I had a lot of fun while doing them and I met many nice people.
In between requests, I updated the original animation:
I ended up opening the shop three more times, and became acquianted with other avatar editors along the way. I hope to continue to make edits as long as possible, and to continually evolve my drawing style, while having fun along the way ^_^
