Hello. My names James Ward, but you can call me oddboy18. I've been on stickpage since I was 5 (I'm now 15). I'm started animating with sticky notes in 4th grade. I also made multiple comic books at that time. I did that for a while and then my dad introduced me to Plastic Animation Paper (PAP: pro). That's when I started making stick anims. I still had NO idea about the proper stick fighting techniques. and it was like 6 frames a second. so then I stopped animating for a while in 6 grade. but then in 7th I got my first DSi. It came with Flipnote Studio, a free animating software. I immediately got sucked in. I started making noobish comic skits.

I got some attention and about 30 or so fans. I kept going and going and my fans started adding up to 2000 and 3000. I even got better.

I've reached 5000+ fans! I've been making comedy skits for a while. I wanted to try something new. so I started making stick fights.

I also had Macromedia flash 8 at the moment making sprite fights. I made a remake of Hyun's "Ryu vs Ken"
I got a complement from hyun himself (fanboy spazzness). I'm now animating, painting, and making music :D
In the stick fight area, I struggle in combos. I have problems making decent fights. I hope to grow some more here.
