He was amazed with c64 and amiga games since he was a child, while wondering why would they do to obtain so awesome effects with so few colors....and resolutions...
after a wide time between vga games, master system and megadrive gaming...he decided to make something related with games' world.
However, coding was amazing, and it took several years of his life, between qbasic commands and pc-speakers sound....with a cool mod player for MS-DOS....(guess wich :))?
one day, a friend of his told him about trackers and presented to him the world-famous fast tracker and the amazing deluxepaint (it's very very good software for pixelart ^^)...at first he didn't handle any of them, but at one start he mastered the use of FT2...and years later learned about the functions of tools of DXPaint...LOL....
really, he was on PC/computers comunity since it was born, but didn't notice his potential until he reached to some tutorials, first ones he discovered before knowing pixelart means....
after that...he noticed he has a skill....maybe more ^^
of course he's modest and always thinks he's on learning phase....that'll always that way.
