I am new, well I have been here for a few days, however I haven't met most of you! Here is a little bit about myself:
I am a professional graphics designer, I am self taught, I have been doing it for about 4 years now and I am still improving; there is always room for improvement and I will never be the best, however I produce quality works that definitely aren't eye sores.
I am 18 years old, I have been doing art since I was a little baby (Then again who hasn't XD) and began virtual design my Freshman year of highschool. I am now graduated and I am planning on going to college at some point, however the NAVY is a big deal to me and I want to enlist in that.
Currently I am a salesman for NorPac, a branch of Vector, which is a Branch of CutCo. For those of you that don't know what CutCo is: CutCo is a brand that produces kitchen wares, mainly high quality knives made of tempered steel. On the side I do freelance graphics design wherever I can get it, I do it paid and for free (The free ones are great for tax write-offs XD)
My name on Starcraft 2 is 'Gold', thus the signature with only the name 'Gold', I'm not claiming to be someone I'm not. I am proud of my name on Starcraft and I am glad that I got it before anyone else took it. Gold is much more than just a mineral to me, it is something I have striven for throughout my life, gold to me is something that we all strive for. 'Gold' metaphorically speaking is the dream that we all have, the dream we strive to achieve, and the goal that one day will be reached.
I have many motto's, but the main motto I use is a quote by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi: "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." I prefer to paraphrase this quote just to give it some originality and say "An eye for an eye only leaves the whole world blind."
Although I only have 18 years under my belt I am wise for my age, I know it seems naive or even arrogant to say something so highly of myself, however I wouldn't say it if I didn't believe it to be true. I have been through a lot and I have a learned a lot in the small bit of this lifetime that I have achieved, and I have learned a plethora of things from the mistakes I have made. I have a lot to offer in wisdom and advice, so if you ever need it feel free to ask.
I believe every person has some divine purpose in this world (And no, I don't mean some religious undertone, I mean it in the sense that everyone has something important to do/achieve for this world.) and that we all have something great to offer, all of us are stars that have yet to achieve our full potential; will you be a dwarf star, or will you be the sun? Well, that's for you to decide with your lives choices.
There's always more to learn, I find that people are much deeper than they appear and there is always a plethora of things to learn just when you think you know everything about a person. Feel free to tell me about yourselves and just general chatter, I just figured I should formally introduce myself to the forum and declare myself as an artist. If you have any other questions or inquiries about me don't hesitate to ask!
Welcome to the forums I guess. You should start hating me already cause this will be the last time I reply decent and gently on any thread created by you.
On a more serious note, what's your point of being here ? We all can read a wall of text of you getting strong in life, so you became the next Picasso in paint or whatever..
So tell me, what is your goal in Starcraft 2 ? Are you here for designing custom textures ?
It's fine, the wall of text is there to read if you wish to. I never asked anyone to read it in the first place, nor did I imply that you should read it by posting it. ^_^
My point of being here? Well if you had read my wall of text you will find your answer. My goal in Starcraft 2 is non-existent, I am just here doing UI design mainly for some people, splash screens, logos, any 2D graphics people need really; I am weak in some areas and more strong in others but I am willing to try everything.

Okay, I break it for your attention span.
He is professional graphics designer who does free and paid stuff.
Aha, I see Gold :-) I've noticed alot of people asking for custom icons on our mIRC a few times so you could help people out doing so really.
And about a 'warm welcome', it was as warm as it gets. But as most have stated, I'm the biggest douchebag until you understand how wierd I am by nature !
And RodrigoAlves you are a little bit fucked up in the head, that's why we all hate and love you at the same time I guess :P
But yeah, enjoy your stay Mr.Gold, and don't take me wrong. I don't diss you, just yet !
Well then, hi and welcome in SC2 mapster :D
I don't want to ruin your day, but in Starcraft II different poeple can have the same name. There is no name reservation, so theoritically I could play on ladder with user that have the same name as I do.

So much for a warm welcome, eh?

My main goal in Starcraft is to spawn more overlords. One day, I will make it, and I will be the happiest larvae in the hive. :)
