I suppose it is fire. Since all I did was replicate the picture, I didn't really
feel like making detailed flame work. I wouldn't really know how
anyways.
You don't have to. I just believe it could be better with that.

Quote: I didn't know how big the
signature was either since I made it for my 1920 x 1200 laptop, but I made it on
my sister's 1440 x 990 laptop (parents...). I usually make the signature so it
is precisely covered by the toolbar at the bottom. But I couldn't really tell,
so I guessed.
The signature including the bar is 1920 x 39. Now personally, I don't have a
toolbar/taskbar and other people place their taskbar at the top or either side
of the screen. Show some love to these people and keep them in mind when making
wallpapers.
Quote by xAnime4LifexI just wanted
to thank you for identifying that picture! I found the other half here
fortunately. I was so angry when I found out I accidentally deleted it because I
was cleaning up my anime scan collection.... Thanks again, I really appreciate
it!
lol no problem. I'm eager to see you vector it! If you do it widescreen I would
have a new desktop after the Jigoku Shoujo
I guess I have to get that Interlude project done then. I never knew people
wanted to see it!
But I really want to do this Hell Girl wallpaper first! It has a lot of texture
which looks like a lot of fun... I have the card from the DVD on my desk so I
see it everyday and it's really tempting me to make it a wallpaper..So I don't
know..1 more wall before the Interlude vector. ^^
Haha, believe me, I am the furthest thing from wild...the only thing that may
make me seem wild is the music I listen to, because it is....loud... But other
than that, nothing that unusual.
Well, I wasn't sure on who to add...lol. I don't know all that many people
still.
I have looked at the Paint-o-Rama's tutorials and they have some stuff that I
was able to use, but not really the stuff I was looking for. Maybe I'll recheck
it and see if they added any new stuff.
WOW! just looked at your Jigoku Shoujo wallpaper. Impressive! I like the
butterfly pattern and the softness as if it's really painted there. And the
shiinnneee... I can see the foundations of a great wall. I would like to know,
did you vector the patterns or took it from somewhere and if so, where? And a
little nitpicking; her hand is kind of small...sorry. I know it may be because
she looks a bit chibi, but I would not like to see your work put down simply
because of that.. so fix it if you can. Please?
Had a laugh at the rip. It was so darn obvious! Goodness, he or she must have
been pretty desperate. But it kind of hit me that in the month I was away, a lot
of stuff must have been going on in Minitokyo...because I've been checking the
frontpage a lot now and I don't think I have seen those before..-_-
Can't claim that I am an expert in photoshop painting..I just go about it like
plain art once I found out the basics. But if you want, you can ask me for help.
I will try and aid in whatever way I can.
My vector is going sooo slowly. I feel like giving up this pic and doing
something that already has colour so that I won't have such a hard time with
it... but then there's something about one of the charas I drew that looks so
sad I dont have the heart to just let her go uncompleted...yeah it's weird, I
know. So I think I will TRY to finish vectoring her at least then move on to
vector something simpler for someone's birthday present...speaking of which,
when's your birthday?
I cannot really see why it should be hard to add friends...I mean, you hold
discussions with them about art, you obviously like each other's style, you
belong to the same groups, you are real friendly with each other, you like the
same anime, common interests...lol. What's so hard to decide? But then I guess
you might be shy...though that surprises me in some ways and seems right in
others...
Well, see you around! If you like to know more about my vector, I'll pm you or
something!
Heh, thanks! ^_^ I'm hoping it turns out well. The butterflies and sakura petals
are all vectored with no painting.
I know my way with gradients and burn and dodge, so that's the closest I can get
to a painted feeling. I used only 1 pattern so far, which is the blue one where the butterflies
are. The brown one is a texture in the picture, but I decided to vector it since
it had kind of a fuzzy texture...which I didn't like...I believe I got the
textures from either a torrent or off of Deviantart. I downloaded tons a long
time ago and just use them whenever I can. Sorry I can't get a direct link
though! I know I always used to search "Seamless fabric,"
"Seamless textures," "Oriental patterns," and "High
resolution paper textures." Hope that helps...
I see what you mean about Enma's hand, but traced it exactly off of the scan I
uploaded, so I don't know how to fix it...I guess I could expand it...maybe I'll
try that and see what happens. But then again, Enma's a pretty petite girl, so I
don't know...
I forgot to circle the one above in the rip picture, the one with the
"big" girl...if you know what I mean...all the person did was crop the
original that was already up on MT! ..................................sigh. I
don't know why people do it, but oh well. I don't things even cost credits even
more. If you saw in the picture I have like 700 because whenever I download
stuff it says they are free. Is it like that for you? If it is, I wonder why
everything is free now...
About the painting, have you ever painted wood before? I'm totally clueless on
how to start...I saw a tutorial in Paint-o-Rama, but it didn't help much...
I hope you finish your vector too. You just have to remember (even though it's
kind of a general statement...), with more practice, vectoring will take less
time. You'll pick up some shortcuts along the way and be like...wow...I can't
believe I didn't do this before. Me being a person who doesn't like to spend a
lot of time on the same project so it is understandable to want to give up. BUt
you can do it.
Vectors from personal works are even cooler than vectors from an anime series
because they are unique and you know you will never have seen it before. So I'm
looking forward to it! And my birthday isn't until October 5th.
Talk to you later.
Yes! so I'm right! I thought that pattern looked too perfect to be just a
preset. Okay, I'll try and find the patterns that way. Anyhow, I don't get much
opportunity to use them. Emma's hand....I dunno, in the anime, she actually has
quite nice fingers, that's why I'm fussing a bit. Haha. Well, never mind, your
vector looks great! It shows a lot of hard work from you.
Yeah, some people just don't value good, self-done work. I mean, at least show
some effort! If one can't gain credits through wallpapering, the forums are
always there...
When I saw your credits, I was like o.0 . How did you do it?! I mean you have
done loads of vectors but...still. Well, maybe vectors get more
credits....anyway, we're not really allowed to discuss the credit system too
much... I usually just use my free download quota. But I dont do much
downloading anyway... just stuff that looks too good to miss and stuff I might
use.. However, some places get weird problems with the server; my friend in
Kuala Lumpur? She was not a member but she managed to full-view my wall, even
though there was nothing that said it could be full-viewed without credit...but
she could only see words at the main website...no pics until she clicked on
links...strange.
Okie, I'm making a tutorial for you now. Hope it will help. I've done most of
the screen-capping; now need to organise, crop, write steps...
My vector...it's from an anime but I drew the whole thing myself first. But it
looks kind of different from the anime and I was changing it into an Art Noveau
style... Took too much time though. I think I have to do something simpler
first. I'll put it aside until I have more time and skill. Don't worry. If the
present I'm making works out, there will be a vector in my gallery too.
Hey, relax by the way. It isn't too hard to find pals on Minitokyo.
Oh good, your birthday's October 5th. Then I have plenty of time...
Got to go! The tutorial's waiting as well as my groups...

=) thx lots

Nice work with the extraction, it's perfect now! Did you make that background
from scratch? If so, how did you make that watery effect like that? It looks
really cool. I don't know that much about Photoshop yet other than vectoring....
=) hmm yes i made everythin in the wall paper
besides the character and the lotus temple in background xD hmm but the water
affect i made almost 2 years ago haha i baraly remember how i made it. when i
said before that its been over a year since i submited a wallpaper i wasnt
kidding hehe ;P i can look at the psd of the water and see what effects i used
and then ill get bak to tell u =)
Quote by xAnime4LifexO_O I was
wondering when this was going to be finished because I've seen it on your page
for awhile :P Everything looks great of course. Great
work!
Quote by xAnime4LifexGorgeous.
Everything looks perfect and Enma is so cute.
Hi
I'm glad you likes my wallpaper so much...
I also have to thank you for previous comments, so 'Thank you!'.
You're also great with vectors, pretty please let me know when you'll finish the
vector with the girl and arrows, she's really cool!
You see, Scott?! I'm not the only one who wants to see that picture vectored. It
would be really cool, I bet. After all, you did a wonderful job with Time To
Relax. That really gave out a comforting and relaxing air. And seeing your taste
and style when I took a look at your Myspace, I don't think it will be hard for
you to give the vector that tense, dramatic feel. By the way, I was quite
surprised by what I saw on that page...you are a lot wilder than I initially
thought. Haha. Anyway, hope you get your vector done. Reply to my pm when you
can. And also, you have so many people commenting on your page; why am I and the
Maigetsu the only ones on your friendlist?! And for painting, have you checked
paint-o-rama yet? Sorry, do I sound too demanding? I don't mean to...
Quote: I will be sure to let you
know when I finish. But I have to say that that project is like a side-side
project so it might awhile since I can usually only work on 1 project at a time.
O.o But maybe since now that I know someone wants to see it, I'll make it a
priority! ^_^
Thanks!
I also checked the Interlude gallery on MT and saw a scan worth vectoring.
That girl is really cool. And I also work on 1 project, if I start more, I don't
get to finish any... There are so many walls I have in mind
I'd like to make one with Kikyo from Inuyasha, Maya Natsume from Tenjou Tenge...
more Hell Girl... oh
brother......
Quote by xAnime4LifexThe background
looks really cool, and all the colors work well with eachother. But, the
extraction could use a little work since there is a lot of white visible. Still
cool though.
about the white stuff =S im a big noob at extracting and
i was wondering if u knew a way that can help me get rid of it =) thx

seems like ur trying to replace me from my post of MT's angry man
Lol. Submitting a ripped wallpaper is one thing......but submitting a Windows
Vista wallpaper?!
Some people....
The funny thing too is that someone actually favorited them... '
lol
mt is full of stupid idiots
just get used to it and dont pay attention
i used to get nervous everytimesomebody submitted smth ripped/things like those
vista walls
but then i thought that it doesnt touch me in any way, so i kinda calmed down
Quote by xAnime4Lifex
How's your Kanon stuff coming along?
Lol, like 0.2%
There was an Air wall I'm supposed to finish first, but lately I've been working
on a Clannad wall...I just haven't had a lot of vector motivation lately
But Clannad always inspires me so maybe I'll vector some Clannad then switch to
Kanon and pretend nothing changed
Quote by xAnime4Lifex
Lol. And I'm not sure what album or what year the songs that I heard came from.
I just downloaded every single song I could find of them on Limewire last year
So I guess if Bou left recently, I haven't heard their new
stuff yet..
bou left last year... Since then AnCafe has released two singles and is planning
one for April. The ones released with the new members are:
Kakusei Heroism~A Hero without a name~ (songs: KakuseiHeroism, RespectMommy,
OrangeDream~bondS version~)
and
Ryuusei Rocket (songs: RyuuseiRocket and KoiNoDependence)
CherrySakuYuuki (I only watched the PV for this one as it was released two weeks
ago)
(I'm good at AnCafe trivia, aren't I )

If you haven't heard any of these I advise you to listen to KakuseiHeroism (or
even watch the Pv to get to know the new guys) and KoiNoDependence... Good stuff
those two songs...

it seems you like kanon so much....
merged: 03-09-2008 ~ 11:33pm

I'm sure it will be. Your last Kanon wall was really awesome.
And yeah, I really like Kanon, well all Kyoto Animation stuff (excluding Lucky
Star...lol ). Do you like it too?
But as for my Kanon wallpaper, it is going to be postponed for awhile because I
don't know how to paint! '
And I can't believe how many works in progress you have! I can only manage to do
1 at a time....
heheh i love kanon too! But this one will go slow i think i wont even vector it
cause scan is of great quality...i dont know what to do...
Quote by xAnime4LifexCan't believe I
haven't seen this piece by you yet. This is a work of art! That
must have taken forever... Yikes.. Coloring, details on the couch, lineart all
done to perfection. Even though Holic people freak me out with their loooong
limbs, I really enjoy this wallpaper.
Perfect!
I always love getting comments on older works (makes me think they're not dead
yet ) AS far as I remember it did take quite long, about two weeks to a months
(don't remember exactly). I'm really happy you liked my work and thanks so much
for the sweet commment!
Quote by xAnime4LifexThat's not a
problem. I think that one would be a little too difficult for me anyways.
I can't paint outdoor scenery yet. Are you planning on doing that scan
soon?
yes i plan to make it second vector in progress.....i guarantee it will be good!
it seems you like kanon so much....

Great work. Very clean. The mouth colors don't go to the lines though, but
sometimes I get too picky...
Thanks a lot for your nice comment and fav on After the Rain. I am glad

the line. I thought it would look better, but I will change it soon..
Take care and have a nice day

By the way, I have a textless version of that scan, it might come in handy, so
