Another OGS Forum exclusive here, never told anyone this before.
Way back when I was 11, I started working on an album of music. It included such amazing tracks, such as Warpspeed, Satellites, Horizon, and Space Whale. (Still havenāt finished that album.) I had to come up with a name for it, and I thought it should be something space-ish.
Anyway, I went through like 12 different names, and rejected them all because they were all about as stupid as I was then 
Then, one day, I was chillinā in the middle of who-knows-where, and I saw a line of stars. and yeah, that. (I also thought, itās like a skyline, but with stars (???))
Anyway, a month or two later, I needed a username for a certain website I will not nameā¦ (YouTube) (whoops, just contradicted myself 
) and I couldnāt think of any, so I thought back to what I did earlier that year. and, so I adopted that username and dealt with it.
At this time, my OGS username was Moon Base, because I thought that would be cool. Again, I was 11. Not the brightest. I didnāt like that for some reason or another, so I decided to change it to my current username. And thatās the username Iāve had, forā¦ almost a year now.
Hereās a story about why my previous username was Moon Base:
So I had just read this book series about a moon base
I was writing a song
I used a drumbeat from the loops library called Moon Base Beat or whatever
I thought it was cool
It would shorten Moon Base to Moā¦ase and my sister was obsessed with moose at the time, so I changed the name of the beat to Moon Bose Beat or whatever so it would be Moā¦ose
I named that entire song Moon Bose
Except then I found a person named Moon Bose
So I renamed it Moon Coze
I kept that as my OGS username for 30 days before changing it to Moon Base because I thought Moon Coze would be confusing
To this day I still have no idea what a Moon Coze is
(Hereās the song in question, if youāre wondering. Not my best work, but it was pretty good for when I was 11.)
Edit: It appears I accidentally used a waffle emoji. That was a mistake. I repeat: THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT. I DID NOT MEAN TO SAY WAFFLE!!!
bye

That is not bad at the slightest! You are really talented at least from my point of view!
Just for reference this is what I made when Iām 31: Listen to OoM by AVAVT in TechKids Night Jam playlist online for free on SoundCloud
It was after 1 week of learning composing from youtube tutorials, during my old companyās āMen of all talentsā competition series.
I think none of the other entries come anywhere close to your piece as well!

Iām now very curious to what you consider your best work

It is an empty link 
Not sure if my username story is that interesting, I used to get called Lazza at work and added the tron because why the hell not.
You might be more interested in the story behind my icon picture. Itās the fourth card from a homemade tarot card deck that I began illustrating last year. Having never done any drawing before, I was looking for a project to do to improve my skills and decided to illustrate my own tarot card deck because I find the symbolism behind the Tarot quite interesting.
The card in question It is the fourth card in the series: The Emperor, It normally shows an old guy sitting on a throne wearing a suit of armour. That obviously wasnāt sci-fi enough for me so I decided to set my emperor on Arrakis from Frank Herbertās Dune. It shows a fremen father and son standing in front of a throne set in the rocks, they are surrounded by dunes and you can see the two moons of Arrakis and the setting sun in the background.
I had a lot of fun with this project as I had never really done anything creative like that before and I was learning throughout the whole process. Some of the illustrations were better than others but I always liked this one the most as I like the composition and colours (and its Dune!!!).
So really I guess for me my picture is much more important and personal than my username, which is liable to change at any time.
Iād be intrested to hear if anyone else has a story behind their icon picture to go with their username.

Mine is a grab of an optimistic/uplifting looking kind of image - people looking in wonder at butterflyish kind of things - from a David Gilmour website - my favourite guitarist. The page with it on disappeared not long after I grabbed this actually, or at least, Iāve never been able to find it again!

I stole my profile picture from a game.
To be precise, I found a game with a cool ship, and then took it and downscaled it, and then recreated it with higher quality pixel by pixel in MacOS Preview, but still.
Iāll be changing it soon, to a scene from a flight simulator I created, but never finished. Iām not sure when Iāll finish it, though.

I took a photo of myself when selfies werenāt a thing yet. Then I tweaked it and painted on it using my PC when smartphones and apps for modifying selfies were far away in the future and the Internet was still young and people used to spend their time in virtual halls called āforumsā. 
Actually that image has many many years. 
I used a digital camera, though. That was already
a thing back then.

My profile pictures are a revolving door of things related to my faith, musical tastes, etc. Itās currently the African-American flag to support the protests happening right now in my country.
