I am gildedlink, known offline as Tim. Obviously since this area is about my interests and stuff, I might as well post a bit. But hey, profiles change, right? Something I write in one state of mind will never totally reflect another. I have a tendency to have complete shifts of thought every now and then. It's an unusual occurrance, and I dunno how long the cycle lasts. So, be assured that the only way to know me will never be reading something I've written describing myself. Hell, I try to reflect my thoughts a lot more accurately in things I write, not autobiography bs. Feel free to IM instead or something. Just know, if you don't know me offline, I'd prefer it if you referred to me as gildedlink at first so I know you found me through a site.
Since this is basically an art site, I might as well say that I like art. A lot. Not just visual art though, art of all forms, music, visual, motion-based [Writing aka "graffiti"], literary, cinema, etc. Music being the most prominent form of the art I like, with animation right behind it. I guess thats why a few of my favorite sites are The Wingless, Werehouse and Starfield Creations. As can be assumed from the above statement, I like anime as well. My favorite anime is Kino no Tabi, followed closely by a few others, such as Serial Experiments Lain, Elfin Lied, Angel Sanctuary, etc. I myself am better with fractal images and photography [along with a dash of web design], though I attempt other styles as well.
I'm also an avid gamer. Xfire me someday and maybe we'll play a round. I consider gaming a dual art form, and thus I respect it immensely. Theres the developers, each one manifesting their own vision in the game world, but cutting back enough that they finish on time. Then, theres the style a Player has when they play, where the art is more in the motion to achieve the result (much like Writing/'graffiti', which I also have a lot of respect for).
