Today, I have downloaded the trial of Flash CS3 Professional after toying around with flash 8. I figure it's time to get serious and tackle this great beast that is Flash. Luckily for me, I can get the student discount after my 30 days are over. ^^ Hopefully, by that time I will have acquired enough resources and skill to create something worthy of The Portal. I plan for my first submission to at least keep an average score of 3.00, and as such I will send forth no crap to smacked by the BLAM-stick. I've seen many decent artists' first works, and I am convinced that I will be able create something genuinely good with time. First thing's first, though; I need to learn to draw!
