Hello everyone.
I joined the forum yesterday and thought I'd introduce myself. Greetings!
I am a lifelong studier of history (it was my specialist subject when I appeared on Eggheads a few years ago) and IĀ have been particularly interested in Ancient Rome ever since reading the Asterix books as a child! I am also a relatively proficient artistĀ (my degree was in animation), and I particularly enjoy drawing Roman-based pictures, though my style is not as beautiful as the meticulous paintings of some historical artists I've seen. It is more 'cartoony', along the lines of a Disney cartoon crossed with the Alix comics. One thing I always strive for is accuracy, however; one of the reasons I decided to join the forum.
I look forward to many discussions to come with you all.
As a caveat, I have seen it mentioned that one must have one's name in one's signature. I have attempted to do this but have been unable to locate where it is done. Am I being stupid or is my lack of knowledge about all things IT rearing it's head again? If someone could tell me how to edit my signature I will happily add my name.
Many thanks
David Hobday
