Hi everyone. I'm new and looking for new friends! :)

Hi Everyone.

Over the last few days, I’ve been reading a few posts here. Seems like a nice place to spend some time, so I thought I’d sign up. :slight_smile:

For the last twenty-one years, I’ve worked in various areas of software development; mainly in engineering and programming. Before this, I spent about 18 years as a commercial artist (finished art, signwriter, artist/illustrator (airbrush)).

I currently work as a games developer. I create and develop Android apps and games using Java/LibGDX/AndroidStudio.

I’ve recently created an artwork page at DeviantArt. Check it out here (Please note that there is a nude painting there, but it is an airbrush painting on a car bonnet - not a porn photograph! :wink: ):

I am now combining my art and science to produce video games. My latest game is called Starholes. Check it out here:

Sorry no link dropping allowed

Over the coming years I will be developing the software for my games as well as creating many more artworks.

Working as an independent developer can get very lonesome sometimes. So I look forward to meeting many of you during some of my time out. I have a good sense of humour, and I also enjoy the occasional robust debate. :smiley:

All the best,

David

Morning David and welcome to the forum.

There are few on here who know a lot about IT and at least two I know of who were in advertising, print, artwork etc.

Oops! Sorry about that. I assume you’re talking about spam. Sorry, it was meant to be information about me. Never mind - it won’t happen again! :slight_smile:

Are we allowed to include links for information purposes?

Thank you for your welcome, Longdogs! :slight_smile: I look forward to bumping into you every now and again.

Hello David :slight_smile: we do not allow user related links, this is classed as spamming.

Thank you.

I don’t really know the rules here very thoroughly, but I would guess the answer to that question depends on whether you are looking for friends or customers, UKGC. :slight_smile:

Hi UKGameCoder :slight_smile:

Welcome. I managed to find your Art website but I’m not certain which one is your portfolio :frowning:

Enjoy OFF :smiley:

Update: Found it after looking at your profile.
Love your work :slight_smile:

Got it! No problem, Mags. Thanks. :slight_smile:

Thank you, Minx! :slight_smile: Have seen you around a couple of times already. I’m sure we’ll become good mates! Thank you for your welcome! :slight_smile:

Friends, Harbal, which I hope we two will become! :slight_smile: And I promise that I’ll never to try to sell you anything! :mrgreen:

However, please feel free to give me your objective opinions on any of my work! Cheers, mate! :smiley:

That will probably depend on how tolerant you are. :001:

Which will depend on what it is that I’ll have to tolerate! :smiley:

I don’t yet know you well enough to be able to work out what will most effectively stretch your tolerance, so we are both on a learning curve. :slight_smile:

LOL! :smiley: Sounds like an interesting challenge! I wish you all the best with it!

By the way, would you be interested in purchasing a red hot poker - you might need it! :mrgreen:

Have you forgotten your promise already?

If there’s one thing I just cannot tolerate, it’s someone who can’t pick up on irony! LOL!

Okay, congrats, you’ve won! What’s the next challenge? :smiley:

Seriously though, no, mate, I didn’t forget!

I feel I have already taken up too much of your time, and I certainly don’t want your debut to become all about me. See you around. :039:
