I love your place, Pyro!! Mind if I have a seat and stay a while?

Cool! It's about time you grabbed your own little corner of the forums to post up your artz buddy
You should post up some of the buttons you did... and the sig banners... and the graphics and badge you made for the CannonBrawl run...
and when are we having another Cannon Brawl Run anywayz the first was awesome fun... and don't forget to post the...

Ok I'm getting a bit ahead of stuffz here but I'm glad to see you go this route Pyro and I'll be watching this thread with interest to see what develops.

P.S. As for quotes that inspired you to accept your artisty-ness (tm) lets not forget even earlier in the contest when you called yourself a non-artist who set you straight!

Ok that's not so much inspiring as a Gary Coleman (RIP) style kick in the pants... "Not an artist?... What choo talkin' bout Pyro?!?" but hey it's the thought that counts right?

P.P.S. Oh yeah and merely by posting here I am displaying what is of course your finest creation of all time.

IMO, an artist is not a collection of skills and gallery pieces. It's defined as a person with such an overwhelming desire and need to create, that they will find any way they can to express themselves. An artist will always strive to become better than they are, because they are driven to. It's an instinct and one that cannot be controlled willingly.

I have seen many skilled and talented people with works that far outclass mine in every way possible. Yet some of these people are soulless and dead inside. There is no passion in their hearts, no drive in their blood. They are not artists. They are illustrators, painters, sculptors, performers, but they are not artists.

I know many people who do not have the skill they desire and are roughly on the same level as their average fellow man. But these people can have the burning desire of creation flowing through them, fueling an engine that channels their muse into reality. They will keep drawing if you break all their pencils. They will keep painting if you cut off their arms. They will keep creating, no matter what the cost or pain might be.

Skill, does NOT an artist make. Passion and desire is the measure by which I judge people. That is why I consider Pyro a true artist. One, amongst many that reside here in these forums.

Here here!

Gratzzz on the gift artz, Pyro!! Nice to see receive a piece o' artz of your toon for a change!

Nice place ya got here!

Hey Pyro thought I pop by and see what the fuss was about.

Pyro? Nope. Never heard of them. And definatly don't proudly use the avatar created for me by them.

Seriously, though, found some good memories of various arts showing up, like the Tee Kayo by CR. I even remember the 12 South thing.

Kool! Who's it going to be, Pyro?

Hmmmm...well we know it will be a girl. Hmmmm....can't tell which girl yet. Maybe your next step will reveal enough to whom the mystery girl is.

Well whomever it is, they are definitely a flier!

I like the lines! My first guess, and more than likely wrong, but the first person who comes to mind is LJ's toon!

Look nice

Looking great!! Can't wait to see how it progresses!!

There was another image in the thread, that seems to have vanished. Looking at that one, it was pretty obvious it was LJ.
