About me
I've been drawing for 3 years, mythical creatures and robots being my favorite subjects. I am self-taught, though that will hopefully be changing soon with my (hopeful) entrance into an art program. My goal after art school is to get a job as a professional toy prototype builder, building robot model prototypes if I had it my way. I do a lot of plastic model work and scratchbuilding on the side, so I do have some experience in that regard. As far as drawing goes, my weapons of choice are Adobe Photoshop CS2, Corel Painter 9, and openCanvas 1.1. I often sketch and/or ink my drawing on paper, then scan it in and color with one of the aforementioned programs. Hardware-wise, I have a HP Pavilion (Who I have named Deadborder ._.) and a gigabyte of RAM. Deadborder missed getting one of those fancy dual core processors and he's old enough that I don't want to bother upgrading his RAM, but he's still pretty fast and gets the job done without overheating or dying. Which is what's important. I upgraded 2 years ago from a Wacom Graphire3 tablet to a(nother)Wacom, this time an Intuos3. No complaints here.

About the site
rustysalamander.net was the name I hosted ALL content pertaining to my hobbies and interests for almost 2 years. But things started getting too big and difficult to update, so I decided to break the site down into subdomains. This is the third full redesign for rustysalamander.net I've gone through. This version of rustysalamander.net consisted of me flailing at the original CSS for the previous version and making a few new images to spruce things up. Most of the site was created and editted in plain old Notepad, but I did dabble in Dreamweaver a few times. Special thank you to Gryph for putting up with my retarded CSS questions.
