rubbing alcohol? does that work as a blender? I wanna try it sometime too ^^


:D Thanks!

It works alright as a blender, but it's not as good as the blender marker or just working while the ink is wet. It's great for effects, though.

Quote by MapleRoselol, she's cute ^^ I like her pose, looks as if she's playing around with her staff. nice colouring, I like the coloured lines, did you use pen tool or brush?

Thank for taking the time to comment :*

Quote by MapleRose Nice colouring, love the way you did the lines (did you use pen tool or brush for that?)

Quote by MapleRoseHi meriadoc,

You've submitted 2 wallpapers that have no signature on them nor any description, therefore, I'm not convinced that you made them. You've been here for a while now, so you should've read the Policy and have known that you're not allowed to submit wallpapers you did not make.

Therefore, this is your First warning.

Any more ripping will get you restricted.

However, if you did indeed make those 2 wallpapers, then contact me with some evidence.


Because I was who made the walls, but I do not have the habit of putting something that identifies (I always bother with it). I have not read the rules or whatever, but I really did not know that there was this (not very often I get to the page)

dios, mi inglés es pésimo así que, sorry for my bad english D:! (me pregunto cunado demonios envió este mensaje, porque realmente hace tiempo no me metía a la pagina o_oU)

Quote by MapleRoselol, I thought your previous doujins were vectors 'cause your lineart is so neat XD I can never make neat lineart >_<

She looks more mature in your version I think XD I like the colouring on her clothing, the little details are nice, though I think her skin could use more shading to match the amount of shading on her clothes.

Just curious, how come you don't use Photoshop for lines or opencanvas for colouring?

I've always found that Open Canvas just is easier when it comes to creating smooth, clean lines. When I attempt line art in photoshop, I usually get lines that are too blurry or too sharp. Open Canvas, I guess, just produces lineart that I'm satisfied with xD As for my coloring, I first learned how to color in photoshop so I've just stuck with it. Although, I do love experimenting a lot, where I will occasionally use Open Canvas or painter. But not a lot of those works are submitted; they're just sketches xD

Quote by MapleRoselol, that's cute ^^ You know, with the ears he looks like Ritsuka from Loveless XD

Quote by MapleRosenice vectoring and painting, however, I think there are a few things you can improve on (or keep in mind in the future if you want to do something similar):

- The vector of Belldandy looks blurred, but the frame behind her is sharp. It should be the other way around, since she's in the foreground and the focus, and the frame is the background and behind her.

- The lilies, although well-painted, don't match the colour scheme of the rest of the wall, esp the greens and reds. You've got browns and blues and golds to work with, and thus the background should fit those colours, esp since nouveau walls tend to have limited colour schemes. The lily petals are also too bright/white, you can't tell the shading too well, and it lets the greens and reds of the centers stand out even more. Try doing a colour or saturation adjustment.

- Did you vector the frame designs from the Mucha scan, or did you design it yourself? I think it could be modified to make it with softer rounder edges to match the gentle mood of Belldandy and the lilies.

- The text looks out of place. Either remove it altogether, or incorporate it into the design. If you want it simply as the titile of the piece and thus part of the signature, then make it smaller and actually put it as part of the signature. Right now, it's somewhere in between being part of the design and part of the signature, so it looks kinda slapped-on, almost as an afterthought.

thanks

-i made it blurry on purpose, though i agree there are some jaggy parts of the frame

-limited colour scheme is not for me, plus lilies were chosen by me to fit the other colours, freens and reds look cool to me, i love bright spots like those
you depend on rules too much i guess....
u said nouveau walls, but i didnt try to imitate someone's wall [i kinda had a candy-chan wall as an inspiration for the frame, but not for the rest], i made my own, so i dont care much about how other walls are, its mine

-yes, i vectored mucha's frame, and im too lazy to edit stuffs for me ^_^'

-text is just a tag, not a part of the compostition [text is never a part of compostition for me, text is text, dont try to put ALL what u can into the composition]

thanks for the comment

Quote by MapleRosenice drawing ^^ I like the angle of her face, and her determined expression ^^ though I think her shoulder angle may be a bit too high

xD thanks for the tip, but mmm the manga scan was like this lol

Quote: awesome clover frame ^^ and I love the colours. Yay for widescreen version! I actually like the extra design in the bottom corner of the wide-screen version, too bad you can't really fit it into the 1600x1200 version...


Thanks a lot for your nice comment and the fav.
All the extra designs are merely there for the purpose of filling up space XD. That's really the good thing with art nouveau you can easily fill up some more space with more designs. :)

Quote by MapleRoseWhat does your new layout look like? Right now I see your layout using a picture of Hitsugaya from Bleach.

Have you tried clearing your cache? If you're using Firefox, press CTRL+F5 (or go to Tools -> Clear private data, check the one that says "Cache", and say okay). If you're using IE, go to "Internet Options" (under Tools), and click the "Delete files" button. Hopefully that should work.

Yehey thx Maple-san
Thank you very much for the tips..
I can see it now..
THANK YOU..THANK YOU..THANK YOU 100x

Quote: nice drawing ^^ I like her hair and esp the roses :)


Thanks a lot, Maple-san! ^^
I made it in a hurry in order to meet the deadline but I liked the result a lot!
Her hair is one of my fav parts also! ;)
Cya'round!

Hey Maple!
I hope you wouldn't mind me adding our Death Note wallpaper to EDD? I'll be sure to credit you as well ^_^

Quote by MapleRoseand lastly, I have to thank you, because I started watching Dennou Coil after seeing your wall (because I got curious about the mojos XD), and it's really good so far :D

Haha that's awesome! Glad you're enjoying the series, it's definitely a huge recent favorite of mine XD The storyline is just so well done and the animation is stunning. The ending made me happy too <3

r q g

Hello MapleRose! Thank you so much for the highlight of my Tears of Morning wall. It's made my day! :)

r q g

Quote by MapleRoseawesome work once again ^^ I love how you vector the lines. I'm kinda glad that you used colour, because it looks great :) Do you use reference pictures for the hands?

nice digital painting :)

The lines aren't actually vectored xD I actually use Open Canvas accompanied with a tablet to do all my line work. And no, I don't use references for the hands. I find it bothersome when I use references because it's never fits in with the drawing T_T

And thanks about the digital painting! I just recently finished it and it's being sent off into an art competition and then it will be sold to people ToT In this competition, it gives us the opportunity to sell our art which is cool but I'd rather keep them xD I can always reprint though..just I don't want to re-mat them xD k...I'm droning on..Thanks again!

Quote by MapleRosewow, nice colouring, it's very soft, looks professional ^^ It would be nice to have a background though ...

Thanks! As for BG, I can't seem to draw anything. But this piece is actually a part of a bigger picture. You'll see.
