I had a milestone I should've said something about sooner but I lost track of the date and then I just didn't.

On Feb 7th of this year, the very first commission I got of one of my characters was posted.

Sahlia by angel-t by LoneStranger

Sahlia got me started with my character concepts and all the other characters I posted on here and eventually into groups so I could write about these characters.  I had started off just watching other people here, never thought I could actually contribute anything on this site.  Then about 2007 I started coming up with a backup character for the D&D setting Eberron that had a couple of templates applied giving a hellacious level adjustment to the character.  Never used the character in the game but I was thinking "hang on a minute, I can use this character in other areas", so I looked for my first commission work.  I learned real quick how to look for future artists and what should disqualify someone that I ask for a picture from in the future, which isn't a bad thing.

So anyway I get the pic posted and as you can see from the reaction to it a small argument broke out which helped me get started on what has become the old business.  I learned real quick that giving all credit where it's due is a really good idea, and plenty helpful for the future...when people remember to read my comments on each piece...

But anyway I've been pluggin away at this crap for a decade now, I wonder what the 20 year mark will bring?

Time flies when you're having fun, or so they say. Since that's the case, I suppose it's forgivable that you lost track of this one.
