Hey thank you for the kind words guys, they are greatly appreciated! 
The recurring theme is how old the game / thread is.
Truth be told, my submissions did not make the cut to receive an artist icon. I worked for a month straight right up to the contest deadline and after all the work I put in, to not get recognized with an icon was devastating for me. I stepped away from the forum for a bit after that, it was a tough pill to swallow.
I don't think theymos saw all of the art I made, along with this game, or he would have decided differently.
There were just so many entries that it literally would have been impossible for one person to view and judge everything without some things slipping through the cracks.
Hey that's all water under the bridge as they say, you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and bump that thread 5 years later
That was a joke BTW, I obviously haven't been away the entire time since the contest heheh! I was also joking about resetting the leaderboard, I just figured if anyone on there was here, especially TMAN, he'd have something to say about that!
Thanks again guys!
PS - I may have actually bumped this thread to prepare you all for my next contribution to the forum (cue intriguing plot twist music DUN DUN DUUNNNNNN)
