Hey thanks a lot for your comment and favs.

Quote by Sakura-Dust^_^' I wanted to add you to my watchlist for a while, but I see there's no need since I instinctively click on your wallpapers...

It's good to know that my wallies look interestening enough in the previews. :) And I noticed you added me to your friendlist instead, thanks a lot I'm gonna add you back.
I also noticed your post in the MT-Maigetsu:

Quote by Sakura-DustX-P Piece of advice for poPuLar-chan: try vectoring C.C from code geass... doesn't matter how it looks, if it's C.C it's certainly fabulous *rolls eyes*

I actually had to laugh, even though it's a sad truth that there's a weird hype over Tsubasa and Geass works on Minitokyo (and AP as well). Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I made a wallpaper with those series, would it be ridiculously overrated just because it's Geass or Tsubasa? Sometimes I feel tempted to try it out just to see what happens.

Anyways take care and thanks again.

Quote by Sakura-DustThere are people who put a lot of effort into a unique wallpaper, but it's not appreciated just because the C.C/Sakura aren't half naked or worse (liek OuMaiGawd!one) it's not related to Code Geass or Tsubasa at all O_O

That often annoys me as well, when I see a really good wallie that gets little attention, while somewhere else a bunch of people fawn over one of those mediocre Geass sunset wallies, it makes me sad somehow. Sometimes I'm really tempted to set my evil plan in motion, there's this one scan and I know if I vectored it and even made just slight changes to the bg, people would probably still waste their favs on it (the power of the dark side I guess XD). I'm seriously considering to make a wallpaper for one certain Geass character though, because I share her first name (want to guess whom it is?).

Quote by Sakura-DustThat's what attracted me to the art of all the people on my watchlist, use of imagination in a creative way, without abusing popular shows.
But yours are the only ones I can tell from thumbnail... and chubbykitty's.
So keep it up <3

Chubbykitty's are often easy to spot because she has such an unique and pretty art style (and because she draws them herself), but you can tell mine as well? I feel honored.

Quote by Sakura-DustAlso... there isn't a place were I can read Goth online, isn't it?...

I checked Onemanga and Mangafox but couldn't find it there. :(

Quote by Sakura-DustWaaaai, this is so adorably cute X3
I love Adumi Tohru <3 my fav artist after Tony Taka.
Really cute entry, I'm lovin' the simple vector.

hehe I love Tohru's work too :3 Thanks for the feedback!

Quote: YAY! It makes me happy that you love it. <3
And yes, that vector was really hard to make. I almost lost my patience with it several times. Ya know, it's funny. I REALLY hate this artstyle now (but still love it...), but I'm actually thinking about vectoring another MGS official scan in the future. Crazy, right? x_x

And it's about time that you killed that merge. :nya:
Oh, can I add ya to my MSN messenger contact list? I know that you say go ahead, but I find it more polite to ask in advance (yes, I am weirdo >_>)

XD Another Lulu in a dress lover. I'm obsessed with that vector, it's very cool...
Anyways, back to the point, of course you can add me :D
That's why I put my ID there ^_^'
Also, can you put your height into centimeters/meters... I'm really curious about it.
*checks Metal Gear Solid gallery*
Fabulous artstyle =_= But, yeah, you're crazy if you wanna vector that.. I quit if I have to vector two normal characters...
*spoiler* My Aniwood entry will have 9 or 10 characters and a cat ^__________^

In meters, I'm 1.6 meters. I hope I did the conversion correctly. >.>
And I will add you immediately! But I dunno how often I'll be on at the moment. *is a little busy*

9 or 10 characters?! Seriously? o.O Now that's crazy.

Quote by Sakura-DustHello!
Thanks a lot for faving my Talk of the Town wallpaper <3
Also congrats on the highlight, you totally deserve it! Your original art rocks, especially since you vector is flawlessly.
XD I see you also loved Lulu in a dress... and there I was, thinking that Suzaku is the girl X-P

Your welcome, I loved the colors and vectoring skills,
your pretty talented yourself <3

Oh yea, I loved lulu in that dress...it fits him perfectly >..>

Oh thank you so much, I really appreciate the compliment
on my originals. I really work hard to make them look good.

Ahh no, no suzu is not a girl! lulu is, lulu is! >....<

It's such a unique design, close to abstract, but not quite it...
I'm luvin' it! :3
I'm luvin' it so much I can't find my words to describe it...
Anyway, it's a fav, I bet the vector was hella hard to make.


YAY! It makes me happy that you love it. <3

Quote by Sakura-DustI'm obsessed with paper/noise textures. Here:
Noise-like texture (my current obsession in walls)
Crumbled paper texture
I (over)used these two textures :D
I can't wait to see your wall. Can you tell me when are you going to submit it?

Oooh, thankies so much! I'll try to implement those textures if I can...
Of course I'll tell ya when i submit it! Just make sure to tell me when you submit another wallpaper. :B
But i dunno how long this one is gonna take. I'm lining this scan as close to perfction as I can. I'm not changing the style, or anything. I'm also gonna add this into the background (only Meryl). So far, I'm pretty proud of how the Snake vector is coming a long. I'm finishing him up now as I type this (I only have the gun left! >_<).

Quote by Sakura-Dust
I have no idea how it's gonna turn out, can't wait to see it :3
I'll submit my next entry tomorrow, for the Aniwood contest.
It's not a big deal, but I have the feeling you'll like it :D


I'm looking forward to seeing it. =3
After I finish this one I'm working on now, I'm gonna start on my Aniwood entry. I have all of the scans and the concept already planned out, so it won't take too long. Especially since I'm gonna just do a normal vector style, hehe.

merged: 06-11-2008 ~ 07:08pm
Yo, I finished my Metal gear Solid wallpaper. :B
I ended up not stealing your colors. But your work did inspire the color scheme of mine. =3

Quote by Sakura-DustSugoi, sugoi... I'm impressed!
That's a very well composed wallpaper!
Happiness, flowers and a pretty girl are usually the perfect recipe for a successful wall. I like how you painted the flowers in the back. The petals in the air are a little strange... especially the dark colored one.
Keep it up like this! You're doing just fine, this is the kind of backgrounds I was talking about.

Yooo,
konichiwa
sorry for being late
And thank you very much for your sweet sweet comment

Ooooow, nice new userpage layout! ^^
Hey, I was wondering, did you use a brush or a texture for your He.s Always Been The Talk Of The Town wallpaper? Because I need that look for my next wallpaper. T_T

merged: 06-10-2008 ~ 12:47am

Quote by Sakura-DustXD Thanks for complimenting my UP. I love Hitsu-chan to death <3
And also thanks for the fav and comment on my wall /(^3^)/
I used too many brushes and textures. ^_^'
Where exactly are you asking?
X-P Well, if I allow you to steal my color scheme, then it won't be theft anymore.
But... wasn't you future wall about murder? T_T
... Rainbows and murder? :3

I'm asking about... I dunno, the one that looks kinda like a paper bag or something. It's used for the background and a couple other parts (like the sleeve..). I hope it's not a brush... because I don't use photoshop because the photoshop I have is an ooooooold version.
Wellllll, I wasn't gonna directly steal it. Just use some of the colors and add my own colors to the mix. But I truely lover your's. <3
The murder one is a future wallpaper, but I'm not working on that one right this second. I'm working on a wallpaper for my twin brother (as a birthday present). It's Metal Gear Solid themed, and I want it it to be super different. Like, you know how MGS usually has subdued hues and a darker, gray color scheme? I want to contrast that with bright, flashy colors! But my brother's version with be monotone (that's what he likes), while the version I upload to MT will be bright... and inspired by your awesomeness. <3 <3

r q g

New UP design? Looks good.

Thanks a lot for your comment and the fav.

Quote: Great idea making the flowers a part of her.

I wish that had been my idea but it was already an element of the original scan, I just went with the flow there.
I'm glad you enjoy my wallies and I put up the other resolutions for you.

Quote by Sakura-Dust^3^ Hello! Thank you very much for the favs!
I'm really happy to see you back! Your style causes serious addiction XD Can't wait to see more from you <3


Haha your welcome, and that's if I ever decide to get moving on making something X3 I'm so lazy

Quote by Sakura-DustHello!
Thank you so much for the comment and fav ^-^
I'm really proud of Matsumoto's hair too.
Thanks for the illumination.
There seems to be a problem though, the 'illuminations' section is gone from the group's page. I'll also be participating in the 'Summer Vacation' contest, I hope you'll like my entry ^3^
Can't wait to see your Holic x Tsubasa vector done. I really like Yuuko-san, dislike Sakura, but Yuuko makes all better ^_^'

You're welcome :)
Ohhh i'm looking foward to see it! :)
And yeah, i dislike Sakura as well XD though i liked this image a lot XD though now i'm a little busy with exams >_< and my dad took my laptop away T_T so i won't be vectoring for some time -_-
Take care~!

Quote by Sakura-DustHello.
Sorry for giving you the latest reply you ever received :sweat:
Many users on MT are tired of frail bishounen and perfect anime girls. Unfortunately, a wide mass of users is still after common wallpapers. You'll get a lot of praising on your uniqueness from moderators and users with nice art. So I guess it matters more than a few favs on a smiling girl... ^_^'
Please keep it up, I'm into horrors more than anything. Horror walls, movies, games (F.E.A.R is luv <3) and I'm glad to see that someone manages to illustrate horror scenes in an artistic way!


Oh, I'm tired of it all too. Which is why my newest vector (that I just submitted) is something no one would've expected.
And you're into horror, huh? Well, after my next project (which I'll be starting tomorrow), I'm gonna do a really scary horror wallpaper. I can guarantee that several viewers will probably have nightmares that night. :nya:

merged: 06-01-2008 ~ 02:33pm

Quote by Sakura-DustOoooh, I can't wait *_*
Be sure to let me know when you submit it!
Also, please gimme some spoilers of your new project, I'm dead curious about it too :D


I submitted my newest vector early this morning, but it seems to have been placed into quarentine. The bases for deleting it seems to be a bunch of assumptions and what not. I'm sure the mods have a valid reason, so I asked for answers and explained why I think it shouldn't have been deleted. If they bring it back, then YAY! If not, then I guess I'm not participating in Vectory's contest. >.<

As for my horror project.... I think it would be better if it was a surprise! :nya:
I'll tell you this though: It involves a pretty grotesque way of dying. OX

Quote by Sakura-Dust*-* Teaseeeerrr...

What happened to your vector? I saw the thread and the mods complained about it being a cartoon. I didn't get to see it, could you please show it to me?
I guess after your work, you won't be doing another contest entry soon...
I finished mine (finally) and I think it's really successful :nya:

Hey, it'll be waaaaaay better as a surprise. P:

Well, really, they said it was because it's western and none-anime-related. But I have a good argument, which I should get out in the open (because I put a lot of effort into it). First off: It is anime-related. For one, the focus is the costume that the western cartoon character is wearing - an anime costume. Also, saying it was deleted for being western isn't fair, because we have a couple western galleries, such as the Halo franchise being an example. I just don't want to seem like I'm causing trouble or anything. :/
here's the thumbnail view. I'd host it, but I'm running on dial-up. :/

I might do an entry for Vector-Wallers' contest or Celestial-Lumisesse's. I haven't really decided yet.
I'm gonna go look at your entry now! o:

Quote by Sakura-DustI loled hard at your vector XD XD
Too bad it isn't accepted... that's unfair.
One of my top popular wallpapers was deleted because of nudity. I was like 'wtf?!'. It was present for a whole week at 'Most popular' category, and it was an over 25 weeks old wallpaper. It was purely ecchi. The botchii message stated that my wallpaper featured: 'Characters can not be seen in a state of undressing, or be posed provocatively.' but wait a sec, isn't this what ecchi is all about?! O_o
Anyways, I didn't want to make a fuss over it so I remained silent. I also deleted the wallpaper so I can't show it to you...
So I think you took a wise decision by not trying to 'get violent' XD
I think I'll make an entry for both C-L and V-W.
I'm so happy to be on Summer Holiday, I'm always in a good mood and with lots of free time ^_^'

Well, I made one last post in that thread (in a nice and calm way) basically saying what I told you. But at the end I said that I wasn't gonna fight the decision for it's deletion.
I think when it comes to nudity, ya got to ask the mod if it'd be allowed. For instance, in the Range Murata gallery, there's a wallpaper with nudity, but it's allowed because it's classified as artistic nudity (the wallpaper takes place in one of those nude drawing studios).
Well, I don't have summer holiday, lol. I graduated last year as a junior, and I take the whole year that would've been my senior year off. So really, I've been on a year-long holiday. :B
For C-L, I already have a good idea planned out, but I need to find the perfect pictures. For V-W, I already have the scans and the concept, so all I need to do is find the time to wall it.
As for free time, I don't have a lot of it. I can only work on my own projects during the day (which sucks because I usually sleep in till around noon). During the evenings (starting at 8 pm) I work on some projects that I'm kinda getting paid to do (not a lot, but it's easy work). And my birthday is coming up, so all of my projects are gonna get put on hold while I work on a wallpaper for my identical twin brother. Yup, busy busy. :/

Oh, and can I add you to my friend list? :B

Quote by Sakura-DustT_T
I just saw you retired and I'm really surprised!
You helped me a lot (even though you most likely don't remember ^_^') and I'm grateful for that.
I think MT will run out of moderators soon...

Of course I remember :P
*hugs*

Ahhh well it happens. I just got too busy. Three all nighters recently... rofl. And besides, even if I contributed a bit when I was free, it wasn't enough (IMO) to make the cut.

Mt will surely have enough moderators haha... it just depends on whether or not the right person comes along :) And I'm sure with all the members, sooner or later we'll have a wave of new mods :P

r q g

Quote by Sakura-DustThis is the most original wallpaper I've seen in the latest weeks.
It does not feature any super good looking and popular anime character, it's not about shining sun and happiness and it certainly excludes fan-girlism.
Great job on this design!
The first time I saw it, I thought you used vampire police officers from Hellsing.
Keep your uniqueness! It works wonders <3

Wow... just wow. This is probably the nicest thing anyone has said about any of my wallpapers. Reading that comment made me really happy! ^^
I'm glad you like my uniqueness. :D

Quote by sakura-dustXD I don't see how can someone ignore such a simple and true profile.
The girl looks awesome too, who's she?


The girls Haydee from Gankutsuou, I used some cover art for the pic that's maybe why she's harder to recognize. Thanks for the comment on my vector of her as well. :)

r q g

Quote by Sakura-DustXD I didn't know you like Nitro+
What first attracted me to this studio was the name, after that I discovered the amazing art they release.
My next project will be for the Vectory contest... I hope it's gonna work out the way I plan for it to, like your gift did.
I'm glad you like it, I thought you would X3
You've been absent for some time... something wrong?


I've been absent due to a depressive state. I've been totally emo-bitching, the doctor put me on antidepressant drugs so I was unable to communicate with anybody -_-. The depression apparently was started through all the complication from the 'flu. I'm mostly over the whole thing (or rather I got used to the drugs) so I'll be on from now on ^^.

Can't wait to see your work for the Vectory contest ^^ It'll probably be awesome!

Quote by Sakura-Dust
I fell kinda useless now since I've never suffered from depression/acute sadness (even though most of teens have the impression that they're always the misunderstood ones *rolls eyes*) and I can't give you any advice...
But I don't think it's good to have drugs for breakfast, dinner and supper. Most of times, drugs themselves are the cause of depression.
As strange as it seems, I think depression should be faced alone, since other people simply annoy you and there's no need for more negative emotions.
Good luck facing it, and please, do loose some of those drugs...

I never use the dosage I get from doctors so I already am taking half of the amount I should lol. I hate taking medicine (I don't trust doctors, never have when I was a kid they almost killed me by making the wrong diagnose - they thought I was having liver cancer and I had kidney inflammation :sweat:) so I'll quit the whole thing asap. For now I only take it when it's totally necessary... I'm only happy they decided against taking me into a mental hospital for observation (I recently found out it was an actual option o_O)

Oh,don't worry about it
Mmm
The contest has been canceled?
Why?

thanks for the feedback on my Geass wall :)
I do agree that the arm of the bench is the main problem area of the wall. I wasn't paying too much attention to that area, instead focused on the redrawing of the characters (CC in particular).

oh and it's a tree by the way :D though it doesn't look much like it

Quote by Sakura-DustWhoaa... squishy boobs X3
I like your vector... as usual.
Good job on using different colors on outlines.
Lol, the first thing that hits you at full view is a huge a$$ XD
Hopefully it's not too ecchi... but it's sweet anyhow.

thank you for your comment sakura-sensei
gomen if it's a little ecchi
-_-
I try to make it huge
because I like the big wallpaper and vector art
hehehehe
once again I want to say thank you

Quote by Sakura-DustLovely wallpaper <3
The hair is usually hard to vector in CLMAP, but you did a very good job.
It's a well composed wallpaper, with beautiful details.
Maybe an orange shadow on the wall behind the candles would add more realism.
I know these kind of secrets aren't usually shared, but could you please tell me what texture you used on the brick wall? I could use something noisy for my future wall...

Thanks a lot for the comment on my wall.
Anf the secret is...
Jeje, it is noise. Yes! :D I added noise in one layer, and lowered the opacity. I did not want to search a texture, because I worked with Photoshop options.
Well, have a nice day~
