Hey there! - //X-Gluon// - 09-01-2013
The name's XGluon.
I've been interested in sprite ripping(and model ripping too) for quite some time now, and I thought that I should join this site.
I focus on ripping from games that I deem "cool" that nobody seems to rip from.
I particularly focus on ripping shoot-em-ups.
One thing that I have to say about myself: When I rip a sheet of a character, particularly a boss, I like to make sure that its name is 100% official. Just saying that.
I hope to amaze you guys with my rips!

Welcome to the Resource, XGluon! Great to see a new ripper join in, hopefully you'll have some nice stuff to show off. Enjoy your stay!
By the way, out of curiosity, is the "Gluon" part of your name taken from the particles that hold together quarks?

Sorta. It's actually taken from the last boss of the Psyvariar games, the Gluon Intelligence Unit(which is, in turn, named after the particle). It was one of the most memorable shmup bosses for me, and I figured that my online name would be derived from it.
