I started as a n00b in GAMEMAKER 7.0 and in the gamemaker fourums I found links to this amazing site, along with other graphic tutorial sites. For a while I thought I was the best isometric art designer ever, although when I said I could make sprites for other people's games and requests started pouring in I found out I wasn't that  good. Anyways, I read a few more tutorials, and now I can make some decent sprites, and I'm excellent with dithering when I have a template provided.   Anyways, I'm still making sprites for my games. Oh, also, I'm a kid, so if my art's not good leave constructive critisisim, don't just say it sucks.
