Man I jsut spent the last 1.5 hours reading over the Archives. So much info, so much personality and a cohesive sense of community. It was partcularily fun reading posts about Photoshop 5.5 vs. early Painter and people bragging about thier 266hz/64mb/2mb video ram machines LOL!

Hard to believe technology with computer has jsut totaly LEAPED! I once remember a book called "Future Shock" anyone remember that? Anyway I'm jsut reminising, kinda wondering how many of the originals still post here.

sigh~ Confused

They all died in the big forum fire of 1923. All started with a cube tutorial gone horribly awry.

I have to say, everyone had a lot more of a sense of humor back then.

Snakebyte: I was just leafing through the archives, I noticed your old pics are still up. You've really made a lot of progress since then.

A similar thing happened to me once...but it wasn't a stylus, I think it was a banana... (A picture would be more effective, but I'm tired and lazy)

Humor and sense of community is alive and well--but it's moved to a new home called eaptoo. It's all a bunch of sijun kids making noise there anyway, so it's almost like sijun part II.

Oh man, good to see " Ya'll " lol, man I was so chicken shit then to post ANYTHING because I used Painter, and I knew everyone were Photoshopians.
Hmm after looking at the pic above, I don't feel any safer.

Actually I have a handle at Eatpoo, but the name of the forum throws me off, I ahd no idea it was coined "SijunII", I'll ahve to check that out on occasion.

And my speed painting was always so much mulch compared to the other (you know who you are)artists Wink

Is Loki still around here? His site appears in stasis.

Well, since you called for old members, here I am. I think I joined within the first month or two. I don't know if anyone still remembers me. In the past couple of years I kinda...stopped doing art entirely, for some reason. This is like my second attempt to start drawing/painting again, and I'm going to try to get involved with this community again, because it was always inspiring. I'll be posting a bit of new art as soon as my web host figures out why my password isn't working.

Most of those people are still around, Tinusch...just not necessarily on Sijun. Eatpoo, EK, and Conceptart seem to be where most of them are hanging out. It's as if Sijun exploded and artists went everywhere.

The only ones I haven't seen around recently (that I know) are:

Red Leader
Evil Toylet
...and Binke.

Cos and Kyri post on Epilogue, and also, I believe, on rpg.net's freelancing forum. The rest are easier to find if you look through other forums.

I muss muzman. That guy was constructed out of solid common sense. His words carried timeless truth, and his quips cut through the coldest carapace.

Also, I miss stneil777.

Mongoose came back a few times, actually. Under different names. Also, he had a fake moustache once.

you know who I MISS? (besides muzman, stneil777, fgfx, affected, et al.)

The infamous Binder can be found at Eatpoo posting regularly, he's behaved and got banned 4 times.

"binder" was the funniest shit ever.

I really miss "Mergatroid" though. His art was lovely.

Wasn't Mergatroid the one who did the pencils on textured paper with the white highlights? Man he made it cool to use white colored pencil.
