'Sake I forgot to say... you're too modest!!! >___<
Good luck with all your uni stuff. <-- uni starts in a couple more days for
me. How I will survive this last year, I do not know. Particularly since I'm
already burdened with x number of extracurricular... stuff...
P.S. I used to be a net recluse (after I graduated from high school pretty much)
until MT... broke my resolve... It's
really really not good. Hold on to your resolve!
The wallpapers are deleted, use of the vector was inadavertant, as I was under
the misimpression it was a scan... Though in the end how using it would be
different than using some commercial artist's work like everyone else is doing..
is beyond me.
Quote by bluSakeSaw Last Exile -
Mechanical today, and I must say o_O . This is going
to sound shameless :: ::
but would you point me to a vector
tutorial?
All righty. I got started with this - Sako's Tracing
Tutorial. If you have ANY questions as to how I do my outlines or something
like that, don't hesitate to PM me.
Quote by bluSakeSo well vectored . Am in awe.
& :: :: how did you make the
clouds? They look so perfectly anime-ish.
lol driven by the fact the web does not contain any good tutorials on clouds, i
decided to do em myself ^^ hint: start with a rough cloud shape and erase bits
to give a bit o texture =P
hehe cant give away too much cause i might not have anything 'originally me' to
use in the contest thing >_____<'''''
well anyway good luck with WAR cause i know ill see some top stuff from ya ^^
take care
PS I am a vector freak!!!!!! ^__________________________^
Quote by bluSakeVery nice for a first
vector . It's just... :: ::
the way the
clouds are, it sort of looks like Roy is blowing them out. I would
suggest using something softer...but that's just
me.
Well thanks for the encouraging words...now that you mention it...the backround
does seem a little weird...guess I'll have to change that :P
Thanks for the comment!! I'm going to try and edit it.
I really appreciate critics like yours, so feel free to give me more!!
>,<
Thanks again and take lots of care!
Quote by bluSakeThx for the comments on
my walls, and for adding me to your friends.
I'll add you to mine too.
Yes, I'm using PS. I saw the tutorials for the noise filter versions of the
Matrix code effect, but
I went for the the real type. It looks better since it's a close-up. If you want
to see the tutorial >> Matrix text
effect.
Heh, no problem, Thanks for the tut, I'll check it out
Quote by bluSakeNot to worry: I've found
that the only things you really need to wall are some brushes, some textures
& stock photos, and some knowledge of the blending options. But then
again...I'm not worthy of giving walling advice .
Maybe you should just try doing something else for a while. Making a poster
refreshed my interest in image editing.
And has the structure of the competition been finalized? I'm sort of interested,
but I think I'll probaby miss it for lack of info .
The thread still looks...confusing. What are the collaborative & individual
rounds? Can I submit more than one wall? etc. So...keep me posted please. I
would sooo want to rep Simple-ism ::though I'll probably be voted down, and for
good reason::
Oooh ooh I see you're online at the same time as me ^.~ And I'm so happy that
you want to rep Simple-ism (I was serious worried not enough people will want to
).
Sorry about the confusing state of the thread... I'll
try to make it more clear, thanks for pointing that out. Basically the
"individual" round is the thing with the 6 reps from each group, each
waller will do heads up with another waller from another group, the group that
wins 4 out of the 6 "battles" will move on to the next round... so on
and so forth. I do want people to have to do a different wall for every round,
and every round is two weeks Not
sure if that's enough time or not. But basically you'll submit one wall per
round right now, I think.
The collaborative round is where 3-6 wallers from a group get together to
collaborate on one wall to represent their group. This idea came out of some
concerns about the heads-up nature of the individual round, I think... so yup,
that's basically that.
*cross fingers and hopes very hard that all the kinks will be ironed out by the
end of this week* So I think that we'll do a sign-up sheet in Simple-ism to see
who's interested in participating, and if lots of people sign up then we'll
probably have to do a prelim round. Now that you've told me you're interested
*evil cackle* if you don't sign up I will... be on your case, hahaha...
*^.~*
Quote by bluSakedeja vu. That sounds like
me. Think my case came from a combo of boring summer job, laptop mimicking
beehive, and no new series. So...on vacation from walling: spending a little
time on other artistic endeavors...and staring at art history books -0_0-
::though I think I'll have an itch to wall again sometime soon:: Maybe you
should try indulging in something else first, just to clear your head. What
inspires you?
& speaking of wallers' disgruntlement: have you read kai's new userpage
message?
Yah... well, for me it's not for a lack of inspiration... I have ideas for about
6 different walls (maybe that's a slight exaggeration ^.~) floating around in my
head right now, but for half of them I don't think I have the necessary
photoshop skills needed to realize them yet, but I'm too lazy to browse through
billions of ps tutorials and work on my skills It's
just this one I'm working on now I started a really long time ago, and the
walling style that I like now has changed a lot since too, so I keep starting
and stopping, starting and stopping... I really
want to finish it sometime soon though just because it annoys me whenever I
think about it or see the photoshop file sitting in that folder, so...
Generally I've found that I get inspired by scans... especially really artistic
ones like Amano, or other ones with neat perspectives, mediums... there are some
really intriguing Kino no Tabi scans that have sparked some hmms. Apart from
that... actual scenes from animes or mangas that stuck with me for whatever
reason are another source of inspiration... and sometimes artwork, or really
artsy movies like Millenium Actress ^.^ But yah. It's definitely not a lack of
inspiration... more like, lack of interest ^^|| And I'm sorta suckered into the
cross-group competition planning efforts, and when I'm not doing that I'm doing
Simple-ism stuff. I love it, but it's so time consuming
Yah, I've read kai's message... O_O Yah, sounds like he has a serious case
against the current state of affairs on MT. I've definitely read other messages
on other really good wallers' userpages saying that they'll never come back... I
dunno, I can understand that they've reached certain heights of "walling
perfection" and sense why they're frustrated, but I'm definitely not there
yet *looks at my pitiful gallery with two walls in it*
Well, wrapping up my visiting post... I took a quick peek at your submission for
the New Wave Project ^.^ Looks good, I'm going to have to take a closer look at
it later ^-^
Quote by bluSakeHi! Plugged :: Traumreise
in my new submit: Faerie Wings.
Really love your wall, so I hope you don't mind
.
good morning, thank you very much for the favs and the plugging on you wallpaper
art with one of my walls =) . i am happy about it - was the first time that some
one took some of my works xD
it's been a while since I last posted here for anything else than thanking for a
fav....
dunno if you could be interested, but I think you like one piece, regarding to
your (really nice) wallpapers and your favorites gallery (didn't browse it but
you add some of my OP scans to your favs, thanks a lot again), I created a group
about One Piece, I didn't found normal for such a community, to not have a group
about this amazing anime/manga, I called it "The Straw-Hat Pirates",
to make short I'd like to have you in our crew ^^
'Sake I forgot to say... you're too modest!!! >___<
Good luck with all your uni stuff. <-- uni starts in a couple more days for me. How I will survive this last year, I do not know. Particularly since I'm already burdened with x number of extracurricular... stuff...
