Me
I'm quite strange, and I'm comfortable with that. If you aren't comfortable with that, and can't remain civil, please go elsewhere. If you can stay civil though, you are welcome to comment or message me etc. I don't bite... ok at least not verbally without cause anyway. I'm strange yes, but not a nasty dragon, honest.

What else, oh, I'm a big fan of free speech and openness. If we disagree, discuss and you leave all the comments up, for example. You will earn my respect. Hide them just because you disagree and chances are I'll just start ignoring you. I don't disrespect those I disagree with, even if I come across dogmatic. Dragons are just a bit forceful sometimes, ya know.

Software
I use Blender! yay!
I use GIMP! double yay!
ffmpeg also plays an important role in my productions.
If you the reader happen to be part of those projects, know that you're awesome!

I'm a big fan of the open-source initiatives and the great community that surrounds blender especially, I hope in the future to be able to add my own tutorials etc, since I have gained a great deal from those others kindly put online. I try to be approachable and if you see something I have done and wonder how I did it feel free to send me a PM or ask in the comments and I'll explain as best I can, or direct you towards the resources which taught me.

Thanks for Favourites and Watches
I want to take this opportunity to thank those who watch me or favourite my work. After some reflection I have decided I won't post thanks on people's profiles anymore. It was becoming a ritual and I'm not really a fan of social rituals: since I choose to be here rather than have to, I'd prefer to be who I am. I don't have anything against social rituals, sometimes they are needed. When I say thanks through reflex or ritual however I feel I'm being dishonest.

Each +watch or +fav makes me feel a bit happier about sharing my work, so thanks everyone. If you like my work, clicking +watch or +fav has an impact. I am always curious about who watches or likes my work, so I may still make comment on profiles, since I always take a look.

For those who post thanks on my profile:
I understand you mean well and it's nice to see people trying to return positivity to others, so thanks to you guys too.
