Thanks for the best wishes! I'm doing my best to enjoy myself... being away from
home is rather scary than fun for me But I hope it will get better in a couple of days, when I get to stay with my
friends and send my family home
But that means no more laptop *sigh* so I won't be able to login for a while,
but I'll be back in about a week!
I hope you're well and having fun since... summer is supposed to be fun, right?
Quote by IgaThis is
one of the best scans from xxxHOLiC group I've seen. The atmosphere is
wonderful. I love the setting. Thank you so much for
sharing.
Thank you, but I think you give it too much credit.
Personally I prefer the more elaborate & brighter xxxHolic images, but the
movie promo stuff was fun to scan.
Shure there are many beautiful brighter images of xxxHOLiC but that's what made
them boring for me. I was looking for something at least a little bit different.
When I browse through xxxHolic gallery all images seem composed the same,
colored almost the same. Don't get me wrong, many of them are really great
but... this one is special imo. The colors are dimmer but that lets you focus on
the characters and the atmosphere between them.
I adjusted the picture a little. If you want to see than here you can download it. Hope
you'll like it.
I'm so glad you say you like my works! Thank you for your support, it means very
much!
It's not that I lack confidence, but I still know very few stuff about walling.
And my biggest problem is that I work very slow so,
ahem, it will take some time before I submit something. Also, I left for a
vacation, so the photoshop is far away... I'm just using my mom's laptop for
anime & minitokyo
As for what's happening below... I also saw that vector when it was submitted
and, if it makes you feel any better, I though exactly the same, from the
font-size to the execution But I just let it go, cuz I didn't feel like wasting my energy on that.
Though I would have been more annoyed if one of my scans were into play...
Quote by MoonFangs90ASK FOR
PERMISSION IF YOU WANT TO USE IT!
This is a vector, which
therefore is a trace of a scan. In fact, it is virtually identical except for
the lack of the graceful line work & colouring from the original scan.
Yet you don't credit the scan.
You don't link to the scan.
You didn't comment on the scan.
You didn't +fav the scan.
You didn't even request permission from the person who made the scan.
How do I know all this? Because it is my scan that I made. Yet you don't see me
foolishly demanding permission for someone to ask for permission before hand...
So who are YOU to demand permission to use an image that I posted? Yes, this may
be a vector in which you have wasted hours of your life, but it isn't better
than Angelica's art. You don't see other vector makers getting pissy and
protective about their work in ridiculously large text.
First of all I haven't been planing on making you angry. My sister was telling
me all about this anime and when she show me a picture it was like "hey he
is beautiful, i could vector him if anybody else haven't. It would be such a
shame if nobody vector such a lovely and sexy guy." Still when I sad it was
around 1 a.m. and I don't want to say that I was that much tired(even trough I
was on the beach)because it's obvious that i wasn't and I was sitting after
sooooo long time on computer,and I had inspiration to vector it. I haven't
noticed that he was from mt, and when I asked sis do I have to ask for
permission for vectoring others scans she said "no...but it'll be nice it
you credit it". he was finished after 3 hours and after that I couldn't
watch on my eyes anymore. When I uploaded I saw that I didn't made link to the
scan and that i haven't credited it, but I didn't had edit icon on the page or
delete or anything. If that is ok with you i will repair mistakes the first time
that I see those icons and if you want me to delete it, it'll be ok still I made
a mistake. And if by any case you don't like it this way(with changes) I'll make
it be like it was on the scan. And that sentence "ASK FOR PERMISSION IF YOU
WANT TO USE IT!" was because i found image where I was credited but not
asked and it was like a shock for me as this was for you(I guess) and that
wallpaper better(like statistics say) then my was but the image is the same and
the idea for background is almost the same, I mean, we both have a moon in the
background.My version was like that because of contest, and when she wanted to
make that much wallpaper why haven't she made a little bit more different
background than my?my
wlp-her's
That is why I sad that...to be informed that anybody will make anything with it.
Quote by SaikusaIt's a great little
series, but I don't think Dark Horse realised what they had bought at first.
They probably thought it was a cute sci-fi
adventure>_>
I also think they didn't know what they
were getting into... Just like that tv station which broadcasted the anime in
the children program timeslot.. hehe... It caused quite a commotion and I can
understand why
Quote: Hopefully someone will
make some beautiful wallpapers from your pretty scans
I hope I'll be able to do that myself .
I've had it on my mind for a long time and I've actually started vectoring two
manga panels, but I don't like the outcome at all. And I would for no reason
make a crappy wall for this series, so all that's left is practice. I've been
thinking lately that the few vectors I've finished so far and my current
projects are from popular/mainstream animes just because I'm afraid to touch
something I really like
Quote by SaikusaI'm so pleased to see
some newly made Shadow Star scans. This is a great series! It's just a shame
that Dark Horse have stopped printing it...
Thank you for
your comment! I'm glad to see there's somebody out there who cares about this
series. I promise there will be more scans to come!
As for the printing issues, I feel the same as you. I really wanted to have my
own volumes, but I still wonder whether it wouldn't have been better to stick
with scanlations, since I suppose they didn't go through so much censorship and
also because they continue the series beyond the point where printing stopped.
Quote by SaikusaAn unusual design for a
wallpaper, but that's what makes it so noticeable. It's very cute, soft &
feminine, but funky too. Nice!
thanks a lot Saikusa-san for the sweet comment
I wasnt sure to submit it because it looked kinda strange for a wallpaper but Im
glad that I did
anyways please take care & have a nice day
Quote by SaikusaOh thank you! Not only
for making a beautiful Blade of the Immortal wallpaper... and also for making
something so wonderful, so beautiful out of my humble scans. Thank you!
I should be thanking you for submitting those kickass
scan's, without them I'd be emptyhanded. Sadly there are not so many wallpaper
for BotI, I hope that the anime will change that somehow.
Quote by Morpheeok ok will do... still
thanks for the comment glad
you liked the scan
I genuinely do like the art. It's a nice
change from all the masses of ecchi But it
is a sweet & soft style. I'm glad you found it... and shared it with us
heh well working every once in a while in bookstores does help find nice things
that and france's amazing manga publishing industry
take care!
Quote by SaikusaI love the smooth lines,
the soft shading, the gentle transparency in the cape, the energetic pose, the
vibrant colours... just everything about this is absolutely
gorgeous.
Thank you so much Saikusa <3
I really appreciate you taking the time
to view it and comment, Take good care :3
Quote by SaikusaI've loved this image for
so long, and I'm so glad that someone has made a beautiful scan of it at long
last... thank you!
You're welcomed! I've liked this image for a long time too, and it was nice
seeing a textless version of it in the artbook. Thanks for the fave as well!
Quote by SaikusaSuperb work! The line
work is confident, the shading & colouring are gentle yet effective, and
your graffiti in the background shows a talent for more than one style of art.
Love it!
haha cheers~
thoguh i'm still trying to improve my CGing skills and its good to explore many
kinds of art instead of sticking with just 1
Thanks for the comment Saikusa ^^
