Seriously, if you're interested in artwork, check out the Never Ending Board.
It's basically where all the creative stuff we do lives. Mostly artwork, but some writing as well.
Well worth takin' a look at.

Thank you for telling me something I already knew :p , though I haven't been hanging around 'Never Ending' quite that much. I'll be sure to check in the near and distant future.

It's all good.
The NEB's one of those boards where it's not obvious by the name what the deal is, so I try and pimp it out as much as possible.

Wow. First time somebody asked me about my work...hehe...I'm a bit honored to know somebody wants to see my work...

Well, I'm actually just starting out. I'm more of a writer than an artist, I believe. My style will probably be not to your tastes, so I'll just wait till I brush up on my drawing skills..^_^ Been drawing since I was a kid, and I've improved leaps and bounds, although I'm not 'Pagulayan' or 'Leinil Yu' sort of skill...I wish I was though.

Anyway, as our beloved Admin said, I'm part of an international community...how international is CBR anyway? I've seen a few Filipinos, but...you know...

ANyway, thank you for welcoming me!

I've seen some from the Philippines. Lots of Candians, Brits, and Australians. Some from Mexico. At least one from Singapore. Probably more from all over. Over 20,000 registered users. I haven't met them all.

EDIT: And check out the Never Ending Forum if you want to post art or see other CBRian art!

**g-dawg** · 07-04-2007, 02:15 PM

been there, haven't browsed thoroughly though, just wanted to see what it's about. ^_^ But thanks for the info!

No, they won't delete your account.

I do have a little question before I go: why do people change their avatars so often? I want to use my avatar forever and ever. I didn't pick Rachel Summers on a whim, you know, especially this particular frame. Is keeping one avatar for too long some sort of copyright infringement?

Nah, some people change avatars just for the fun of it. Other times (like in my case) it's because of our weekly avatar contest.

Where'd you go? How long you been gone?

No worries about your account -- it'll still be here when you come back. Try not to be gone for a whole six months, thought! ;)

As for Avatar's, it's just personal preference. It's just another way of expressing yourself.

Due to server lag.

But now that the server lag has been fixed, I now have access to two powers at a time. So nifty.

Also, the comm board has a weekly avatar themed avatar contest.
