I remember I had an account here a really long time ago, but then didn't really use it and dropped off for years despite being an avid fan of the series. The Witcher has been a huge influence on me as a gamer and myself personally over the years, being at the pinnacle of games that still truly get me excited. It's been almost a year since I joined on again and became an active member and really it's all due to the wonderful people I have met here. It's truly been an honor and a privilege to be part of a community that cares so much about such a fantastic series and so many who have brought me laughs and awe through the art they have created as an homage to the Witcher. I owe a great debt to my fellow artists here, you inspired me and rekindled my passion and it's pushed me further than I've ever gone. I have had many great discussions and debates here and it's been nice to be able to hold intelligent conversations (as well as plenty of silly and off topic ones as well
) with so many of you. I hope to see many of you in the Cyberpunk forums down the road as well.
I want to give a personal shout out to some of you who have had a great impact on me this past year:
@TemerianGirl - Val, though you've lost your name along the way, you have been a huge impact on me here. You're dedication to the perfection of whatever you work on has been a big motivation to me. Your art and work on work never ceases to amaze me and your music picks have gotten me through many hours of work. Here's to you, the REDpoint Queen and music goddess of the boards!
@JusAnor25 - The work you've been creating for years is a standard that I could only dream of achieving some day and has inspired me to better my skills.
@wichat.571 - Wichat, you're everywhere and always bringing your positive spirit and you many, many cat pictures and gifs to the board that always brought a smile to my face, along with your 3d work.
@EmperorZorn - Zorn, even though you aren't really on the forums anymore as you are busy with life, your caffeinated posts filled with puns gave the boards a relaxing atmosphere that was always fun to come back to. You've been a true friend to me both in and outside of the forums and a great supporter.
Additional shout outs to some of our intrepid mods who have been holding down the fort against the onslaught of bs:
@Kinley - You've been our number one resource (and bear) for timely information and your ability to keep the community engaged while still staying even-keeled and being able to joke around.
@ReptilePZ - You may be the most wry and sarcastic bastard on here sometimes, but you keep it real and make me laugh with your witty humor and snarky responses.
There are so many others on here whose company I greatly enjoy and wish I knew better (and hope to do so in the years to come). This one is to you all!
