Hello, everyone. I'm NewOnEarth (or NOE for short). I've been checking out DA for several weeks now and I decided to join! I'm impressed with the amount of talent being shown on this site. It's been an inspiration, especially since I've taken up art as a hobby. In a perfect world I'd be using Photoshop, but I can't afford it. Instead, I use the GIMP, which is 100% free (which fits right into my budget!). I'm still learning the basics of the tool and what I'm capable of doing with it. I'm hoping that all of you will be generous in your support and criticism of my work as I (hopefully) continue to develop.

Thanks for having me here!
