Backstory
Back in the time, I was known as Yamaro in the anime-wallpaper community.
I was only searching for nice pictures for my desktop for some time. Then suddenly, I find myself trying to make one. My first crappy attempts are lost in time, though some of them you may find on the internet. Back then, I posted my wallpapers on the Ukrainian facebook-like website and at TheOtaku. But then my friend recommended I post them on Animepaper. And... I did so... and my wallpaper was rejected for several reasons. That is where everything has begun. Revising, self-improving, and studying. I discovered new technics and styles, got inspiration from fantastic artists at Animepaper/Minitokyo, and shared my works with people there.
Communities
Animepapaer
My favorite place. Animepaper pushed my skill level to a very high degree. This is all thanks to skilled artists and strict moderators. Before the portal's closure, I was among the top 10 creators.
Minitokyo
Minitokyo was the middle ground for me to share what was limited on the Animepaper. As well as to broaden the audience of my work. Minitokyo is still alive, and so is my profile there.
TheOtaku
TheOtaku is the first international platform I used to share my work. Requirements are less challenging there, so I slowly learned and improved there. I no longer have a profile there.
