- When did you start making graphics, and why?
At February 22nd 2007 (21:19/9.19pm), my (our) first work was finished. We started because we saw other nice sigs and we wanted to know how they did it, and so we started making graphics.
- What is your favorite graphics style?
The ’SG’-Style, sure! But I also like the Spanish style. I like nice colors and lighting. I also like the old style, and urban style.
- Do you most often make avas, sigs or wallpapers?
Most of my works are signatures, but lately I have made more wallpapers.
- Some people only need a few minutes, and others work on a gfx piece for days. How long does it take you to make one?
That’s very different. Some avatars took me only a few minutes but other works like wallpapers or large pieces took me some hours. Most of the latest sigs took me about 1-2 hours.
- What is your favorite gfx piece you have made yourself?
That must come yet. I can’t choose. I like my last Wesley Sneijder wallpaper, and the Arnautovic sig (with the great render). I use it at Player-Art.
- Do you have any favorite artists?
I like the ’’old’’ graphics makers like .zx3001, Nithael, herbul, onskin etc. They were also active on Player-Art.
- Who/what has helped you the most to become a great designer?
We helped each other a lot. And also the great resources and tutorials at Player-Art. We learned a lot from the good comments, thanks for that!
- How did you hear about PA?
Koen found it at google search. I thought it is a great site! So we have joined.
- How long have you been a PA member? What do you think about the site and the community?
I joined at 05- 19- 2007, so that’s one year, 2 months and 7 days. (Now it’s July 28th). I think it’s a great site. The new forum style is very different. I like the people, they are very kind. The resources and other help is very good.
- Do you have any tips for other designers that want to become as good as you?
If you want to be good, then you have to practice a lot. And stay active at
PA, give the other guys constructive comments and then you will improve a lot.
SG-Style’s winning piece and their other works can be found in their portfolio here, on OleOle or in SG.
