Title: Hello Hello
Post by: ArtemisPanthar on January 18, 2008, 03:33:48 AM: 'ello mates! I've been scoring the 'net for DAYS looking for a good "The Land Before Time" group/forum and had all but given up when I stumbled upon this place. What luck! =D

I'm known as Artemis Panthar, but you can call me Artie, Arte, AP, or whatever you wish really (Although I'm not partial to 'Art'). I'm a 19-year old animation student (on hiatus) from sunny ol' Southern California. I graduated early from high school (at age 15), and bounced around a bit before going to college. I've been on the internet for ages and have been known by my alias for a long time so if you see another ArtemisPanthar out there, it's probably me!

I'm big into cartoons and grew up watching "The Land Before Time" series. Part way into it I kind of lost interest in the sequels but I really love the new TV series. Good stuff. My other favorite cartoons include: Rocko's Modern Life, Loonatics: Unleashed, Peep and the Big Wide World (it's just too cute XD), Tiny Toon Adventures, and on and on and on.
To note, I don't particularly care for anime as a whole. I don't dislike it, I'm just hard to please with that particular animation style.

Aside from animation, I'm a huge horror fan of all mediums. I'm OBSESSED with the Silent Hill series! I love horror movies, but I view them with a discerning eye: I hate the lackluster ones made just to make a buck because it perpetuates the idea that the horror genre is remedial and it really isn't. But I shall not rant about these things to you =D

My favorite movies are: Stay (you MUST see this movie), Jacob's Ladder, Silent Hill, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Se7en, 12 Monkeys, Brazil (and a lot of others...)
My favorite musicians are: Morrissey/The Smiths, Green Day, Colin Hay, and a whole bunch of songs by individual artists.
My favorite video games are: All the Silent Hills (although 2 is my favorite), Psychonauts, Skullmonkeys, the Sly Cooper series, the Ratchet and Clank series, and on...
My favorite book is: The Wainscott Weasel by Tor Seidler. A rare find but an absolutely fantastic book that deserves much more attention than it's gotten. I also like the Redwall Series and various horror books. Oh, also, Haruko Murakami.

This is really running long (although quite short for me XD), so I should wind down now. I do hope I didn't leave out anything but if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I look forward to talking to ya'll in the forums!

Post by: Malte279 on January 18, 2008, 04:00:45 AM: Hi Artie! Nice to meet you, and welcome to the Gang of Five! :yes
It is always a pleasure to welcome new members to our community.
You are studying animation? That's cool. Sometimes I wished I studied something more creative myself, but over here studying something creative is unfortunately almost bound to provide you with a very long hiatus indeed, once you finish your studies :(
Anyway, please feel hearty invited to join our discussions or start threads of your own. By the way, may I ask where you found the url of the GOF after your long search? We always try to make the GOF easier to find for people interested in the land before time, but it still is somewhat hidden.

Title: Hello Hello
Post by: ArtemisPanthar on January 18, 2008, 12:57:21 PM: Hey people! Thanks for the warm welcome!

Malte - Art majors don't have it so nice here, either XD but it's been my dream to animate ever since I was 4 years old, so I'm willing the brave the rough waters :3

I found GoF through another tLBT website linked through tv.com. I went to the forums there and everyone said that they came from a forum called "Gang of Five". I'll bet it was probably linked on that site but I found it via googling "Gang of Five" + "the land before time". I hope I can help making this place more well-known, so little lost tLBT fans know a place like this is out there XD

Sky - Hey =D I saw you on DeviantART!

Hey Lain :3 I have indeed heard of Tijuana! I actually visited it briefly when I went down to Mexico about 7-9 years ago.
