My name is Colin, but you guys can call me Shibuyah around here. I'm a bit of a Skylanders nut, first getting hooked due to the first game, S:SA, since I had been a big fan of Spyro, and the premise of using actual toys to switch between characters sounded really cool--the child in me is rather strong, and Skylanders is a series that seems to grab its interest easily.
I've yet to get Trap Team due to its pricing, but as soon as I can, I plan on getting the 3DS Starter Pack first, mostly for Gusto. XD
So, I'm also a bit of an artist in the pixel field, though I'm hardly professional. I haven't done much animating, and I mostly sprite characters in the same basic pose--in the end, I think it gives me a good feel for the character's design, but I really need to get myself to put things in motion at some point. >w<;

You can see most of my stuff here, though I tend to sprite round characters often. <w<;
I'm really looking forward to getting to know some fellow Skylanders fans, and learning some new stuff around here! ^w^
