Default For those who hang out here in GFX what other affilations do you have?

I have found that attempting every request and bouncing from different graphic sites that I've been able to expand my knowledge and skill with sig making. If I'm not learning new tips I'm finding new resources. Over the past couple of years I grown to a comfortable level and I'm always looking for new styles and technics. Visiting different sites has allowed me the opportunity to learn from others so I figured that it would be best to post some of the sites that I frequently visit in hopes that someone else can improve their skills at graphics:

TheGFXedge - This site has some of the top artist I've seen and love to get their feed back on my work. They have SOTW, but you can not complete request until you've become part of the graphic team, but none the less it is one of the top graphic sites in my opinion. Link: theGFXedge?

Userbars.com - The name of this site speaks for itself. This is where I got started with graphics. Link: Userbars.com • Index page

SGFX Siruis Grafix - This site is going through some redevelopment, but was another site that I got started doing graphics. With more involvement this site is going to grow. This is a safe site for beginners and novice who do not already visit graphic sites. Link: SGFX

Hopefully this information is helpful and that you will share the sites you frequent for the rest of us.

Not that there is anything wrong with FF, but a dedicated graphic site will help you improve.

Going by GFX sites, I used go around a smaller one - don't remember the name, and used to hang out a lot on quadzynergy for quite a long time.

And well sorta was a bit busy to do any GFX for quite some time.
Once I managed to find a bit more time, I'll probably check a few ones out. Thanks for the tip on sgfx.

Though to this day I can find a useful tut or at least inspiration on dev art from time to time.
Sometimes I just take step 1 and the last and try to reach the same finished product :P
Though often quite fail.

Though generally what I find most intereting on GFX sites, that quite often 2-3 "style groups" seem to form, with each group having a somewhat different approach to all those small little things.

I moderated at Quadzernergy with Kitty for quite awhile, I've hung out at Planet Renders for a few years, but honestly, most of their work is too crazy for me. Very cluttered and over the edge on effects. Not to mention that I don't have access to most of the programs they use, and the member base isn't friendly. Which means I usually stay here... when I have time and I'm not at school, haha.
