my brother showed me stickfights like shock and i got interested
i started with sketch star on miniclip.com in 2011
(which was taken down early 2013)
then i moved to flash when i learned of fluidanims
i saw terkoiz anims and other peoples anims so i joined stickpage forum late 2012
then i saw guz's animations and i improved greatly...

i learnt pivot in school in grade 4
in grade 8 i found stykz, a substitute to pivot on the mac
i did stykz untill grade 9 and have been using flash ever since
Sharp brought me off the youtube and into here :P
he taught me the basic and after watching avanz's, terkoidz and oxobs animation i have been self taught.

Dedicating alot alot A LOT of time into it. Making it my passion. Making it a part of my life. Practicing everyday, creating everyday. Getting ideas and forfilling them. Setting personal goals to strife to. Pretty much just by doing it I got to learn it. And masturbation. Fapfapfapfap

I started animating with my Dsi flipnote(hatena) memories i loved those japanese hardcore fights after i heard that the website hatena was going down i started animating with flash first i discovered hyun's yoyo vs flflflflflflffflflflfllf <.< then i discovered endos terkoiz jomm miccol luccas(rip..) and all those guys inspired me to continue stick figures.. after i knew how the stickpage forum worked i instantly joined alot of collabs.. well those entries made me improve. This was still the time were i hoped to get in the collaboration xp but yh i still need to learn alot

It started off by watching old countersticks. Then Jevahkiin told me about fluidanims and flash 8. From there i learnt from watching hyun's and terkoiz's tutorials.

I started in pivot while watching dinos fighting. I didn't really like stick fights before until I revisited stickpage. There I learned about the RHG things and continued my way here.

My friend and I used to watch Madness Combat and Xiao Xiao everyday after school, then we found FluidAnims and wondered how it as all made, he downloaded the program and we made a few shitty animations together. Then I downloaded it and we would just animate stuff and send it to each other, I think a majority of the stuff we made was lost to StickPagePortal when it closed.


Then we just sort of grew out of it, and did other stuff instead, only a few months back, I found the program at college and started animating randomly, rusty as hell, but still there. So I downloaded Flash at home, and I've since gotten a bit better than I used to be, I'm not great, but it doesn't matter too much. I haven't seen that friend in 2 or 3 years, I doubt he ever went back on Flash, which is a shame, he was actually pretty good at it.
