I'm a little late to this and kind of already started posting in other threads before posting here, but what the hell...
My username is segababy88baby, in reference to Sega being my first video game love, and my birth year. I used to post on 1Up before they sadly had to fold, and that was maybe the last gaming forum I posted at until I went to NeoGAF back in 2013, over the PS4/XBO hype and all. However among other issues, one thing that's become apparent to me there is that it isn't necessarily Sega-friendly, even regarding the retro side of things. There are Sega fans there of course, but sometimes reading the bull crap that comes from certain posters regarding the company (not just present, but past/glory years too) is disheartening, and I felt I needed to find a place that was more well versed and respectful of the company's output as a whole. And as such, I've ended up here
If you're curious, you can still find me over on GAF under the username 'jhmtehgamr20xx'; I'm also an illustrator fwiw tho I'm more concerned with building myself up to make that a professional thing. I have a deviantart as well (
http://fngrscr8dstroui.deviantart.com/); despite the account name I go by the handle 'Cist' now, and hope to have a site set up for a portfolio of stuff as I create more pieces. At the moment, I like aiming for a mix of original and fanart stuff, and definitely plan on doing more Sega fanart in particular soon, including stuff such as the Panzer Dragoon games of course (which I feel are just some of the most artistically inspired games out there, regardless of time, system, or developer).
And yeah, it's been awesome being here and chatting with folks. Very glad to be here now
