Well! I've been lurking around for long enough. And I was suggested to come to the introduction board so I did.
Hi, I'm Cerberyusu, "Ryusu" in short, or "Cerb" or "Erb", I don't know, just play around with it. Cerberyusu is my penname and the name I mostly use around the internet.
I was a lurker because I actually enjoy reading comments and threads more than making an input of my own. I'm shy-ish.
I'm an amateur artist myself, studied conceptual art and 3D-modeling for videogame-characters. Otherwise I'm self-taught pretty much. In other words, Internet taught me everything.
I believe quite genuinely it's Minna's artwork got me into the things I do now. Arts and stuff. I discovered her work around 2006 I think, and I've been a silent admirer since. Now I'm a forumite. What an upgrade!
By the way, great job with the forum. 
It's clear in design and the threads are great!
Welcome, Cerberyusu! (I'm afraid I kept spelling your handle "Cerberus" because I'm a mythology geek.
)
Thanks for the kind words about the forum. Much of the credit goes to its creator and head admin, Eich. He laid it out and set its ground rules of courtesy and respect.
Eriaror had a major role in its look-and-feel update (as well as a lot of the nifty new features), and admins/moderators Kjeks and Hushpiper do a ton behind the scenes to keep the Forum working smoothly, both technically and policy-wise. Feartheviolas and I mostly focus on content moderation, and in the short time Viola's been a moderator she's already done a ton of great things, like cataloging all the Forum fan-art.
The actual thread content is due to the incredible talents, range of interests, and expressiveness of our members -- and I'm glad you're now one of their number! Have fun on the Forum!
