Though I joined a few weeks ago, I have only now noticed this thread.
I knew this place existed for a long time, but I never had a chance to join this community. I was always on the gaming forums like gamespot, and I didn't devote any time to animation while being a regular gamer. But after a long struggle to put down my gaming habits, I finally started to learn how to animate, and most importantly how to share my work with others.
It seems NG is the most active 2D animation site out there, so I hope to contribute to it as much as I can.
BTW, check out my cartoons if you havent :)
