Encide.net | Get encide.

In short: Encide is an underground community of designers, developers, and friends who have thoughtfully crafted a relaxing, youthful, and progressive environment.



Encide.net is a forum based on a core group of members who have come from some of the coolest design communities that ever been around. We initially came from mished.net (no longer online) and migrated over to oxiforum.com (no longer online) for a short period of time before moving to encide. Many of us came from deviantART, Shiver7, Devay, Billy Bussey, The Dream Art, Effectica, and so on... We all had similar interests and we just naturally formed together over time.

The point of this site is to have a fun place for people to hang out at, while maintaining a mature drive behind the work we produce both professionally and for fun. If you want to improve your design skills, development skills, or anything really, this place is perfect for you. If you want help with your work, we will jump right in there and tear it apart and get you going in the right direction. Plus, we're friendly, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Constructive criticism is meant to be constructive, so that's what we will do for you.

We have an impressive tutorials & resources center with items that are actually helpful and full of useful information and secrets. Everything is completely free and open. Our site is strongly against advertisements, so you won't be seeing any annoying Google Ads banners or anything distracting any time soon.

Underground? We use the word “underground” because it reflects our ethics and morals regarding the internet very clearly. This is something you will understand over time. Our design is simple, clean, and to the point. Out of respect for the community, we have a look that is far from the generic, depressing overkill that most “GFX-FORUMZ” have. -- we are professional yet fun, skillful yet simple, friendly yet honest. If you want to join, then you are the right kind of person for our family.

We are alive and thriving, so come on over and get encide! We don't bite that hard, at least I don't think so. Make an introduction thread and maybe post something you just finished or that you are working on, you will not regret it!
