    Yep. Not sure how to go about doing this, so bear with me here.

    My name (the name I have chosen for myself) is Matthias, I'm a 24 year old (recently realized) man. No idea what my sexuality is and don't really care right now, since I'm still getting used to the idea of actually being a guy. :eusa_doh:

    I write stories, I make art, sometimes I do both at the same time. I am a die-hard Borussia Dortmund supporter (German football club, and also the source of my username), and I've already run out of stuff to say so I'll just leave this here.

    I post all my work, both artistic and literary, online; if you want the link to either, PM me. Not going to post the links in this particular thread (I don't think I'm allowed to do that if I read the rules right and I'd look like a real n00b breaking rules my first night here.) I originally had a piece displayed in here, but somehow missed the big warning near the top of the screen about not displaying outside images until after I posted it. Oops. I've still got a bit to learn about how things work around here. :eusa_doh:

    No worries! I'm sure you'll get the hang of it without much trouble.

    You were definitely right to remove the picture that was from an outside source - good call. If you're ever questioning whether something is okay to post or not, feel free to ask a staff member and we'll be happy to clarify for you. If you want to show your art on EC, feel free to create an album and upload it there (which I see you've already started doing - see, I told you you'd be fine!).

    Also, just to clarify, as you are a regular member still, you cannot send/receive PMs unless they are to/from staff members like myself. Once you have been here for two weeks and made 50 posts, you can apply for full membership and if granted, you will be able to PM other full members as well as utilize the chat room feature. :slight_smile:

    Thanks. :slight_smile:

    I tried sculpting once... I've got a few pieces lying around that look like a fifth-grader made them. :eusa_whis Most of what I do is a mix of traditional and digital art; I'll draw the piece on paper, then scan it and color and ink it with my computer. I've actually got a few pieces displayed in my album on this site.
