Start a Graphics website? Not a forum or anything, just a website dedicated to my graphics, like alot of you have. I wasn't sure where to post this, but it is a pretty random question, so yeah. what do you guys think? I'm thinking about it so I thought I would get a couple opinions. I don't have any resources like textures or anything, I might learn, but yeah. We'll see. So...What do you think?

It depends. The two main questions you should answer "yes" to before you start are:
Do you have the time and dedication to keep it up and frequently updated? Do you know anything about web design?
The second question is pretty easily solved with all of the web design tools out there, but the first one is really big. Why spend the time making a site if it's just going to be dropped in a few months? So unless you're %100 positive that you can give it %100 commitment, I wouldn't at this point.

I have all that in mind. I mainly wanted to know if people wanted to have a site where they could view my graphics and all that. If you know what I mean. But thanks for the tips! 
I'm not 100 percent sure I am even making a site yet, just thought I'd see if people would like to see it or not if I ever decide to do it.

You probably should have posted this in the site help section, you'd more than likely get more people responding to your questions. 
To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't worry about whether people may or may not want to look at your graphics. I have seen some sites with the worst graphics imaginable, and they still get people looking, and your graphics are not in the league of "bad graphics" so I would just go ahead. I started my graphics site after I realised that the graphics on my LOTR site were probably the best thing about my site, and as I was improving, I wanted somewhere I could store them all and show off.  I wasn't really doing it for other people (although visitors are always nice  ).
I started off with Geocities, and now I'm hosted by Gil. I don't really know a great deal about webdesign or anything - Gil codes and makes all my layouts. But I have learnt codes and scripts off by heart now, and I survive with the little knowledge I have and it's not stopped me. HTML and PHP is confusing if you plunge straight into trying to learn everything at once. I say you should understand and learn about what you're going to need here and now, and not worry about stuff you may need in the future.
You need to obviously have the time and everything, but again I wouldn't be too worried if you find you can only update once every 3 weeks. As long as you have content to update with, it doesn't really matter if you can't update every 3 days. That's my excuse anyway.

I would move the topic to the Site section, but I don't think I can. I could repost the topic there, maybe...
Thanks for all the info JF. I would have to learn how to make a layout or get someone to do it for me. And find a way to learn all the coding and such I need. I've used Geocities before but it was awhile back. I know a little bit of HTML but not a whole lot. I am leaning towards Freewebs for a host if I make one. I'm pretty sure I have the time to make a site, it may take awhile to get it all done, but I'm sure it can be done. And I could update every week or two, I'm sure.
