I have high standards because I used to judge images...I never said anything about being a great digital artist. Now, I may try my hand at it from time to time, but I am not giving myself a boost by saying that I have high standards.
So...I have high standards, which is why you do not see much of the things I have made, because I am not happy with the out come of most of them and the others are not made to be used as sigs or banners. In fact, I have only just recently discovered how to have an image with clear spots on it, which is something known by nearly all those who consider themselves graphic artists.
I consider myself a judge or a critic, not a graphic artist.
