My introduction door was the T-Shirt design contest on TO. I joined the community because of the contest, and I received great feedback about my art. Loki contacted me and asked if I was interested on doing some art for the forums, and I made some new logos for him.

Some time after that, the contest ended and I was one of the winners. Red sent me a PM about it and took the chance to compliment the art I did for Loki. I saw the they were looking for a full time spriter on the team, and the positive feedback from everyone made me really confident to try and show my pixels.
