Hey, my names Kyle, and I'm new to New Grounds. I have been making animations and stuff on the computer since like 2010. The only place I've ever uploaded was YouTube but seeing how New Grounds is set up, I really dig it man.
Before I had any animation software, I used to animate using Microsoft Paint and Movie Maker, it was very labor intensive, but at the same time worth it.
Some of the animation software's I've used are as follows; Anime Studio, Pivot Animator, Flash CS6/ Animate CC, Pencil, Synfig Studio, and Blender.
Obviously I am much more proficient in some software's than others.
I hope that New Grounds is as good as it is made out to be, also I love the crazy cartoony feel from the borders on the page.
