It' nice to hear from you.

Don't worry about the error, the messages still got through. MT is having some bug problems lately, so let's hope everything will be cleared up soon.

i was in your position last semester, group presentations, last group to go, the stress just builds up. I am surprised your teacher didn't do the comments in private. But I am glad you guys done well, that's awesome!

I hope you'll get some rest first!

Thanks for adding me to your friend list ^_^ So what made you arrive on my page ? I'm quite curious ^_^

Hi there! Sorry for the late reply~ >w<

Quote by papyworld*_* thank you soooo much for your comment on the Suzuhira Hiro scan "Moonlight Sonata" i made.
You are the first to notice the music going with it <3

You're welcome~ :D
Of course I noticed, I couldn't believe you actually played it~ lol~ xDDD

Quote: Hehe, yes she's actually a she ^_^ It's hard to find a picture of her though >_<
If you have one of the first shuffle artbook there is a tiny picture of her at the end ^_^ She seems to be really cute :3
Ho and if you wondered , aoi nishimata is also a she ^_^

Ooh, with a name such as Hiro, and drawing ecchi and such, I really believed it was a male~ I'm shocked, lol~ XD XD
I always thought on Hiro and Aoi as friendly pals, both guys~ that's a little sad... :( lol~ xDDD

Quote: Really ? you like it :3 ? Haaaa ... <3 you. Thank you so very much. It was hard to play this in a "not too boring" way ... Classical music isn't something a lot of people like nowadays ^_^"

True~ In fact, I'm sorry to say I'm not the biggest fan either, but some are really cool, they are relaxing~ xDD
I just watched La Corda D'Oro too, it's an anime that makes you come to like classical music, lol~ >w<

Quote: ^_^ I added some extra red to the scan i think ... It's a bit my fault that it is so sepia ^_^" But it's cool that you like it ; you're again the first person to point that :)

hehe yeah i like the cat too ^_^ He looks so real :3

Yeah, it fits the mood really well~ :}
And yeah, so real it's a bit scary~ lol~ XD

Quote: Thank you even more for commenting <3

Do you plan to create a new cute and fluffy wall ? :3

lol, I'm happy you liked my comment that much, thanks~ >w<
And yeah, I'm working on some stuff~ I don't know about cute and fluffly, though~ XD XD
See you~ :}

Thank you very much for the links ^_^ Now i understand what you mean with the 3 shining wind artbooks.
Is the Shining tears x wind artbook nice ? I hesitated to buy it as i didn't know it's content ... I wonder if the illustrations are like the ones in the anime or if it looks more like original illustrations from Tony...

Ho so you ordered Chronicle on Akadotretail ? You can order it on Amazon.co.jp if you prefer. I got mine from there and it's really a great book for fans. You won't be disapointed with it ^_^

I also had a question about an another book. I saw that you scanned some illustrations from the Soul Link premium fan book. Could you give me your opinion on the book ? I was hesitating to buy it because i wonder if there are a lot of full page illustrations ...

Sorry for the late reply papy .... work takes me away from home for extended periods and internet time is limited and slow.

All three Shining Wind books are excellent. Shining Tears X Wind has a bunch of full color pictures and a poster, character profiles, episode guide and commentary at the end. Very nice book. Shining Tears Collection Of Visual Materials has less full color pictures but makes up for it with the line drawings. An excellent book too. Shining Wind Collection Of Visual Materials has a bunch of full page color pictures and equals the other two in quality. I'm glad I bought them.

I received Chronicle while I was away at work. Suzuhira Hiro just shot up to the top five of my favorite artists. What an excellent book!

Soul Link comes with a plastic sleeve to protect the book. A very nice touch. The book does have quite a few full page images and a few done by guest illustrators. I'm not disappointed in the book except for the same reason I have for every book I've bought. I wish there was more. Would I recommend it? I most certainly would. It does have a poster inside, character profile, story line, even music sheets and line drawings. It is based off the game more than the anime so there is hentai in it. But baring that it's a high quality book.

I hope this isn't too late and helps you out papy :)

Cya around :)

Quote: ... So i had to visit a last time the company i have chosen and to refuse the others ^_^" The last part wasn't so easy to do ... I also entered in contact with Sony this week ; so it's a bit hard to choose ... >_

Hello. how are you doing?
contact with Sony?! OMG! that's amazing! Many congrats on the job!
What do you do exactly?

Quote: ^_^ I think i see what you mean. Talking about passions for drawing and for art, i had a strange interview with an human ressource officer last week ... She asked me strange questions ... It was like a psychotherapy ... She asked me why i like drawing ? What syltes i liked ? Why do i like this style ? Why do i like playing music ? What makes me happy ? ... A mass of questions like this ^_^" It was quite hard to reply directly ^_^" Luckily i didn't look as a total dork as she contacted me again to tell me my profile fits their company ... *pfew*

I really hate those questions because it's so general. I like all kind of styles and there are a lot of reason to "why i like X & Y" So it must be really hard for you to limit down your answers. But this is so interesting that they would ask you those questions.

Quote: I wonder what kind of answer you would have answered ^_^" After this , i asked the same questions to my friends and the answers were sometimes funny ^_^

Let's see, I like to draw because when I am looking at a blank piece of paper with a pencil at hand, I feel like I have all the powers in the world to turn this blank piece paper into a colorful world. At the same time, it's a away for me to escape from reality, so I can find peace.

I like water color the most because the colors blends so naturally on the paper. There's an elegance in the brush strokes, it makes the pictures seem very gentle and peaceful.

Happiness is when I am completely free, there's no rules, laws, or stings attached. When I can do the things I want and be different, without having to worry about what other thinks, then I am happy. At the same time, when I can find peace in this busy world, such as lying on the grass and just watch the clouds pass by is happiness.

Quote: Yup ... I left some time MT and went to other websites but to my experience, members here are often nice person. It's quite hard to "chat" on other sites ^_^

I find it easy to talk to people on MT as well. I tried AnimePaper and I just couldn't connect with the people there.

Quote: Haha ^^ so you were a crazy yaoi fangirl in the beginning ? ^_^
I checked quickly Benjamin's gallery , and it's really awesome too ^_^ I'm really happy to meet someone like you who can make me discover new artists and new styles <3

I am still a crazy yaoi fan girl. lols. I just applied a higher standard for submiting scans during the recent years. So I haven't submit any yaoi scans in a while.

I am glad you liked Benjamin. He's a pretty well known cg artist in china. What kinda style do you like? I'll love to introduce you to more chinese artist.

Quote: Haha ^_^ I do exactly the same ... All the things i draw currently are doodles made during boring lectures ^_^ I have had inspiration thank to my friend Fenafir here in MT ; i'm doing a kind of doodles serie about a fat otaku ^_^" So i show her them to have feedback ^_^

lols, that's what I do as well. I find myself drawing some pretty interesting stuff when I am bored. ^^ fat otaku? sounds fun.

Quote: O_o thank you very much. That's great you like classical music too ; it's not frequent to meet someone who likes it ^_^ It's cool that we share so many "hobbies".
Thanks also for your comment ; i'm really happy you like what i composed. It really means a lot ^_^

So you never played an instrument ? Music genes you say ... Anyways, you have artistic genes, so it might not be to hard for you to learn to play music ^_^

I played the acoustic guitar before. but that was like 2 years ago. :sweat:
It was a nice experience, but i have no rhythm at all. :sweat:
So I think I'll stick to art and listening to music.

I love the violin when it comes to classical music. There's just this great emotions and power that it can take me away. Sometimes you can just imagine the story of the song. I think that's why I like classical music, you can create your own story to the song.

What are you listening to these days, any recommendation?

it's so nice to talk to you again. I feel like we have a lot in common ^^
have a great day!
I hope to talk to you soon.

Quote by papyworldI hope you'll accept this comment as a form of criticism and that you'll understand the reasons why i'm not really liking your wallpaper.

When i saw the thumbnail of your wallpaper, i thought that someone posted a slightly modified version of the original scan. This was a first bad impression ; but as i like the original scan, i downloaded your wall to see the details and what you added.

My main criticism is that i don't understand what your wall artistically brings compared to the original scan. To my non-waller point of view, it just looks like you played with the scan by adding effects and textures ... And tada, we have a wallpaper ready.
I'm not really comfortable when saying this because i don't have any idea of the effort needed to create this from the original scan. But still, i had a clue because the scan you credit (which is now in quarantaine as it is duplicated compared to the orignal scanned by Piyura) has been posted on MT some hours ago ; It shows that the effort required to produce such a texture wall isn't that big.

Besides this fact, i don't really understand your choice regarding the colors. Some parts are really bright and blurry ; they hide a lot of details of the scan which in my opinion were nice : the rose, the details of her eyes and the details of her face.
I think that applying these colors just remove the emotions carried by the original eyes.
I think the scenery and the emotion carried by the original scan are nothing but common and nothing but just a "trendy" illustration.

I also really don't understand which light source you wanted to give to your wall. There is a diagonal line on the right which separates the dark and lightened parts ; it doesn't look really natural as just on its left there is a super bright zone encapsulating all the top left part of the illustration. To my eyes, it's a mistake to have so many different light sources ; it makes difficult to focus on and to understand the whole scenery. It even enforces the impression that there are different parts in the wallpaper.
The skin of the character is a good example of the presence of different parts of your wall. Her arms are somehow between dark green and dark blue, while her face is not at all of the same color. This is not really homogeneous.

Besides all these negative points, i think that your texture looks quite nice when applied to the roses garden and the shiny particles also do their jobs at making the scenery a bit more "magical".

I hope that you will accept my remarks , i tried to be as objective as i could and i hope it won't make you angry to receive this kind of criticism.

First of all, I want to thank you for the objective criticism. I'm not upset and I understand there's a lot to work on concerning this wallpaper.
It didn't look too bright on my monitor (some parts were actually difficult to see because of the contrast), so I apologize for different lighting spots. That didn't happen because I wanted it to, it was a mistake.

In the end, I just wanted to try making a textured wallpaper once again but I suppose I'll limit myself to vectored ones, since textured ones aren't that good. I'll keep your advice in mind next time I make a wallpaper. Thank you once again for your advice and hope you have a good day :)

Oh, wow that was lovely! :D It sounds much more mysterious and foreboding that way. XD Thanks for showing me. :)

Quote by papyworldThat's good to know. I have a bit the same passion but for an another artist, who is Suzhira Hiro, i really like the way she draws eyes and the emotion carried just by them. Sadly, she also draws a lot of hentai ... But luckily, she doesn't do much of hentai now and she's doing more rough illustrations book, which i really like.

Talking about the shining wind artbooks, i only know one ... Could you tell me what are the others ?

Actually, I can do one better. Names and links to where I bought them.

Shining Tears X Wind - Artbook : Official Fan Book http://www.nippon-export.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=25451
Shining Tears - Visual Complete Works http://benippon.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=578
Shining Wind: Collection of Visual Materials http://www.akadotretail.com/product_info.php?products_id=24534

beNippon is in Japan, Nippon Exports moved to Europe recently and their website is messed up right now and Akadot is in the US. Well they are Shining Tears and Wind but they have most of the same characters in them. I just collectively call them all Shining Wind.

I also ordered this but it's difficult to get a hold of. Hiro Suzuhira Illustrations: Chronicle I ordered it from here. http://www.akadotretail.com/product_info.php?products_id=25226 and unfortunately it's back ordered. So I have to wait until it becomes available again, if it does. She's another artist I do like and I do like quite a few. Some I will go out of my way to get books from.

Quote: ^_^ If you want there is a serie of japanese games i played who are published by Falcom. It's the YS series. It's a serie of action rpg games in an "anime-looking" world. You can easily play them without understanding much the story and by following a walkthrough. I think the graphism is really nice and they are good games to play ; the boss fights are just super hard ^_^

Yup it seems that V1046-R just submits a lot of MT scans on AnimePaper ... It's strange that he didn't get any warning for that ... :/

Hopefully he didn't submit more of your scans ^_^

Talk to you soon wraith

I've heard of Y's but don't know much about it. I'll see what I can find out and maybe look for the game. Thanks for the info :)
I haven't seen any more of his posts, I went through his scans and I didn't see anymore of mine but I don't think all of them were shown. Seems that 700+ scans would take up more pages than I looked through. I guess I'll have to go through all the galleries eventually ... that'll take time :) Ah well, maybe they'll fine him and he'll lose some of his "papers" because of it :)

See yah around pappy!

Quote by papyworldHi scampi ^^ Just a little message to find out how your rozen maiden is progressing ? It seems the progress image hasn't changed T_T Maybe is it due to exams ?
So, if you have some exams, good luck for that *fighto scampi-chan* ; if you don't, *fighto to progress on your vector ;)*

Part of it is due to exams and the other is laziness. :P Don't worry, I haven't given up on it yet. ;)

By the way, i don't know if Fenafir told you, but it seems people on AnimePaper submitted your nitroplus scans ... His username is V1046-R if i remember well. :/

I went and checked and found 5 scans of mine there non of them by V1046-R, it was some one else so I assume either some one else complained or V1046-R takes a lot from MT not just from me but from everyone. I wonder what his name is here? Anyway, thanks again for the info, I appreciate it :)

Quote: Hehe thank you ^_^ I'm glad you took the time to answer me and i'd really like to be friend with you too. This is one of the point i really like in Minitokyo and that made me come back here, the fact of being able to meet people sharing the same passion for illustrations, drawing, ... Actually, very few of my real life friends share this passion, so i really enjoy speaking about that here with people like you ^_^ So yeah, it would be great to be your friend :3

I see what you mean about "That day - by the sea". So it looks like the pose of the girl is because he just didn't want to draw her face ... I was imagining she could be in this pose because something bad happened ... Like she felt bad or i don't know ... You know, he always seems to draw sad scenes so i thought something bad happened for that girl ... *i guess i'm imagining too much* But you know, that's what i like in his illustration ; the fact that you can imagine stories to the illustrations ... That's something you really can't do with the usual ecchi scans we see here ^_^"

So the artist is Chinese ? Is he representative of a "Chinese way" of drawing ?
I guess that a lot of the artists you feature on your gallery are from China then ?

Aww ... I know what you feel about drawing ... T_T i'm a bit in the same situation ... Too much work with school and music and i can't take the time to do serious illustrations T_T Though i'd really like to restart next year after my graduation.
I checked your illustrations on DA ; there are really nice concepts and ideas. I hope you'll find some time to continue ^_^

Ho, i don't know if you sometimes like listening to classical music but i wanted to ask you your opinion about something i did recently. Actually i scanned an illustration from Suzuhira Hiro recently , and there was a piano score going with it. As i'm quite curious and as i wanted to show it to my friend Fenafir here on MT, i tried to play the score with a bass. I think the result is quite nice but i'd love to have some external opinions about it ^_^ This is the link to the scan ( Moonlight Sonata by papyworld ) ; and the link to the music video is in the description. I would love to have your general opinion about it

Well ... Time for me to go ^_^ *I did switch to the friend list, as i think that now i don't need the watchlist thing to remember browsing your gallery ;)*

I so know what you mean. I have a hard time finding friends that have the save passion for art and manga in real life. I think that's one of the reaons why I stayed as well. I thought about leave MT a few time because I like to explore new artists and style while things here are just so typical. But I learned to cope with it as well as all the friends I have here.

I actually like the way how you think. Everyone has their own perspective and thought about a piece of art. I think that's what art is meant to be, it's for us to imagine what's behind the image in front of us, so we can create many different stories.

I think my gallery has transformed many time since the day I started MT. My standard has definitely been raised. I use to submit a lot of yaoi novel and mange scans I found around websites. But over the pass a year or two, I started to get into chinese artists. Their style is very distinct from Japanses art. I think you can say water colors do represent a chinese way of drawing. But there are some nice CG artists as well (you should check out Benjamin's gallery here on MT, he's an interesting CG artist)

I really like drawing. But now, the only time I do get to draw is during a boring lecture.

Actually I am very interested in classical music right now. The music is really nice. I really like the beginning and especially your compositions(00:52 to 1:33), I think it tied it up really well and gave an almost a climax to the piece. Well done. I wish I have music genes in me.

I hope you'll have a great day.
I hope to talk to you later. ^^
