Quote by flyindreamsHaha yah, I came across your post in someone else's guestbook and wandered onto your old wallies =P I just downloaded your Have Hope wallie Such nice colors and beautiful flowers *^.~* Anyways, I gathered that you're one of the returning members, although I didn't know you before =P Welcome back! Keke...

LOL! I've been spotted ..... S#%T! hehe, just kidding ... I'm not hiding no more ... Yes, I'm one of the older members who's returned, you've been here for 25 weeks? I was mostly active in 2004, and early 2005. Then I left for like 2 months and now I'm back XP hoping MT 's new system will rock and bring it back! yayayyyy!

Ohmigosh, thanks for the compliments on my wallie, glad you like it T.T I have to get walling again ... Nice to meet you though, I'll see ya around!

Quote by flyindreamsCheers 'Sake on You know I love your works and I'm so happy that one of your wallies is getting highlighted >___< I'm actually not 100% sure about the texturing for her hair because it looks sort of... rock like? I wonder what it'd look like without it.

Thx for the fav & comment on Butterfly . Hm...the hair. Well, underneath there's a cloud/ swirling mud texture. I thought that would be too soft, so I gave it a splatter texture too. If you want to see it without the splatter...

*kicks the buggy watch/friendslist*

eep.s ^^;; I'm trying to get the hang of the new controls and stuff of MT 3 as well.......<_<

How are you? ^^ I just started my hols. XD

Hi hi flyingdreams! ^_^ *waves*
woooo beautiful userpage too! O.O hehehe we both have chii *weeeeee* <3 You did a lovely work! it's very pwetttyyyyy, with very pwetty colors! ^^
Thanks a lot for your visit and compliment about my userpage =^^= *dances around* I'm very glad you like it! although I still have to change it into the proper size of MT3 ^^ hehehe
wooooo thanks so much for all your wonderful comments on my drawings! <33 *weeeee dances happily around* =^^= I'm so happy you like them, and I appreciate you took the time to look at them and comment ^_^ I'm really really glad you like my artworks ^.^ Thankies! *hugs*
Take care and hope to see ya around! ^_~

Wow ! Thank you for the nomination for "Aphonia."

Quote by flyindreamsInteresting idea... Nice first vector ^.~ Some of the outlines look a little strange, especially her hands... maybe because they're the same width... I'm guessing you stroked them? And yah, hongrboi's idea is good. I just updated two of my older wallies so you might be able to get them through now ^.~ I don't think that sun and moon look strange per se, but I think that there needs to be some more circles in the wallie because it feels like there are a lot of disparate shapes in this wallie... makes for interesting design, but it doesn't feel like it's quite coming together? And I think that Nana might look better if her skin tone wasn't so... maroon ^^;; Otherwise... *kudos* for shooting for a "simple" wallie *^.~*

hi!
thanks for commenting on my wall! i really appreciate your advice and support.
yeah, i know it can use many adjustments. i still have to practice my vectoring skills.
i'll be making more simple wallies from now on since they look a lot better as a desktop.
thanks again for commenting and take care!

argghh I hate MT3.. >> i didn't get any notifs from my friends.. but from those ppl on my watchlist.. don't you think that it's really weird.. o___o nyaa..anyway, thank you for your nice comment on my dojin^^ I'll add you to my w-list (>__> as if I'm a stalker.. o__o) hope you don't mind.. ^^;;

Ugh, what ?
You are saying that I won't get notifications out of the people that are on my friendlist?
That is seriously BAD.... Argh....
How can it be ?

Quote by flyindreams
Wow, one of the few wallies with an abstract-type background that I like. As everyone else has pointed out though, too bad about the blurriness of the girl... =/

LOL, yeah, it's one of my earlier works, and I had a problem with blurriness, rather I still do sometimes

Quote by flyindreams
Interesting wallie... I like the warm colors The flowers still look like stock to me though, probably because the girl is so heavily outlined while the flowers are blurred and not =/ some stylistic inconsistencies. But overall, this is a nice wallie...*^.^* *clicks through your gallery* you have a very interesting colorful scenic style going on

yupyup, was trying to use stock and turned out pretty bad x__X Well, I was in a wallers block, very rusty, I should start practicing again, to get better ... Thanks for your comments. ^_____^

Much appreciated, have a good day, see ya!~

Quote by flyindreamsHaha... read your edited comment. Well, this thumb really caught my eye because of what you did to the sky. I love the effects and you definitely did a terrific job in creating that beautiful background, so *kudos* My only critiques for this wallie would be extraction problems... I see white artifacts around Rei's hair... the canvas-like texture that you used in the background creates a nice effect, but it's a little too strong/obvious in some places (like the clouds...) and it makes the grass a little too blurry too. I've mixed feelings about the green glows, but nya. The last thing I would suggest is a bit of text to fill up the night sky a little more, because it does look a little empty. Overall though, this is a very, very lovely wall =P Fabulous conception, solid execution, fantastic ambiance... and yes, Rei looks awfully cute in this scan, I don't think I've ever seen her look so sweet Keep up the great work =P this is a really fine wallie and you should feel proud of yourself

Hey there!
How you doing?
Thank you so much for your comment! I do appreciate this so much!
"A bit of text" --> I totally suck at this! XP I don't know why but I don't like having a text on a wall (that's also why I don't sign my wallies: firstly it's a gift to the communauty, and secondly I can't stand a text on a picture ;D unless it's part of the wall I mean... )
It's like "History" at school, I didn't like it at all... so I sucked at it ;p

And regarding Rei's head, man you're right I need to work more on the extraction, I missed that one... Geez I spent so much time already on this scan-- I'm soooo laaazy XP

Anyway, I totally agree, this scan of Rei is great, She's so cute on it, I had to wall it
Thanks so much for your great comment! I'll try to do better next time! (as always )
See ya around my friend!

By the way, awesome userpage, I just Love it!

Quote: I find it really interesting that you submitted this wall right about when I got an idea for a surreal wall =P cool minds think alike? Lol. Surrealism/symbolism rocks, and excellent drawing and CG job! *envies your skills* I love the streetlights and the crosses, and the planets (I like that eye btw *^.~*) but I feel like the skeleton hand and the reaper's scythe seem a little too... blatant, less subtle. Composition-wise not having the objects there might've been just as or more effective, maybe. But overall... really excellent job kudos to you for creating something thought-provoking!

That is a nice coincidence that you wanted to do surrealism too. The idea came into my mind in art lesson (because the topic there was surrealism and especially Dali). You're the first one who likes the eye. All the other people wondered what it should be or found it strange but I think that Jupiter should have this eye because there's something like an eye on the real planet too. I agree with you that the scythe and the skeleton hand are too obvious as symbols but I needed to put some things into it that could be recognized easily (otherwise people would search for symbols and not get the real topic of the image).
Thank you for your feedback - it is one of the most interesting comments I received on that painting.

Thanks for the comment and fav...well I actually yesterday got my Deviantart account to work and put some of my personal favorites there, I'm drel there cause drell was taken .
Thanks again and see you around.

Hahaha...sorry to disappoint you, but I think it was not a bug..
The reason why the mutual friends number decreases was bcos at first they put people whom add you to watchlist there, then they make up the watchlist, then after that they only put those who added you to their friendlist there, then nw only those whom you add to friendlist and added you back are there... those who added you to watch list are not there (even though you add them as friends :P) I think that was what made it smaller... well, do not worry, after everybody figure out everything, am sure it would be all crowded again
Hehe, who say nobody like you anymore? Me still like you, dont think like that

Quote by flyindreamsHmm... well, a really nice first wall, and I think that you tried harder than I did with my first wallie =P Overall you have a solid composition and the idea for the wallie is good... mostly you just need to work up more PS experience in order to make this wallie good *^.~* First off the extraction and blending of the character scan could be improved... I see a lot of jagged lines, and some of the outlines for her hair look very uneven. The glow around the character doesn't really help with the jaggies or the blending, so I'd suggest getting rid of it. The clouds also look... strange, shape-wise, they look more like smudges than clouds... maybe some more smudging and experimenting with cloud shapes could help. Apart from those things... really nice first wallie *^.~* The serenity and simplicity is really nice, and I like how you didn't just create the usual "Greg Martin" starfield... Keep up the good work! =P

XP Thanks so much for your comment! It really helps me determine what I need to work on ^_^ And yeah, I have yet to understand Photoshop all the way, Lol
Thanks again! ^_^ See yah around and take care

Quote: Since when did posting real pictures on MT become fashionable? ROFL.
the rocksta looks so cool

Since I started doing it, baby~! *poses*

....Oh god, I'm spending too much time with Saki. U____U;;

Yes I am back :P

though I won't be as active since I still have my "job" at AP (which I'm not planning to drop anytime ).

But atleast I'll be around to submit/check/comment wallpapers.

*hugs back*

oh by the way. Kel gave me your msn contact. Just in case you need to contact me for anything, since you don't use IRC. :P

ahh.. wakata wakata.. >__< okay.. thank you for the information ne..>___< the 3rd round would be kinda hard.. .__. but I'll try my best.. >__<

well ja, ne =3

merged: 10-31-2005 ~ 02:47am
uff.. where is the quote box.. ahh that's why I really hate MT3.. haach.. everything changed.. u___u sorry for bothering.. >>

Quote by flyindreamsOh... ^-^ The dreamy misty effects work nicely. Those trees look kinda odd though 'cause they're really bending far... and the fence also looks too big proportionally for an object that's so far off in the distance. And as you know already, the flowers in the front are too blurry, and using the grass brush right behind that front row of flowers and nowhere else compounds to the problem slightly... ^^;;

Otherwise, this is a very sweet wall... I like the atmosphere *^.^*

Thanks for the sweet comment ^^ I'll improve it according to what you have suggested

Thanks again

Blah, I just realised that I accidentally removed you while trying to move you from my watch to fren list :P
Anyway, it seems you are super busy lately haha... ^^ take some time off I think, and ask some people to help you with WAR, kay? Good luck and all the best with the organising..
See ya around...

Hi flyin!

Bittersweet or Tragic, huh? Now there's a cheery way to end a war Still, I look forward to seein ghte entries, and with the change to MT3, submissions have been slow, so hopefully this will liven things up again!

Yeah, this is the way my name is meant to be, and shell be from now on. I like it, it's shorter (and therefore easier to type and I neded to ditch the old name to avoid confusion with other people from other sites ^.^

It's a silly aspiration, but one day, I hope to be good enough to take part in a future WAR. Something that really challenges the skills & imagination... but for the time being I shall just continue to practise & have fun :3

Good luck with the final round!

hey flyindreams!

just dropping by everyones favourite mokona =P
i seriously think you should take a long extended break or the stress of everything will kill you oO
concentrate on your studies and start the final round of WAR at christmas time when everyone is more relaxed ^_____^ *hint*

anyway congrats on joining deviantart ^^
see ya around

Quote by flyindreams Oh... adorable vector rythem-chan, as always <33 Your vector skills are totally amazing. I do agree with Yina and Yumi-chan that the vector doesn't completely fit in with the background, and I wish that her mittens were a little more well-defined. For some reason on my desktop they're really blinding @_@ Apart from that, the dream effect is lovely and I like what you did with the font as well

hiya there flyindreams~~ thx a lot 4 the comment on my newest wallie ~ ^^ *hugs*
yeah , ur right about the vector not fitting .. o_O blinding ? lol
anyway~ 8d thx again ^^ take care of urself ~ bye bye ~ ^^

Thx for the comment on Expectation.

Your page looks so...normal. Mine has gone haywire. I'm looking at other peoples' pages and they look normal too. Would you happen to know if this is temp, just until they sort Mt3 out, or if there's just something seriously wrong with me?

Thank you very much for your comment on angelic belldandy. The Curve does have blurred edges, helps to blend it a little. Withought the curve the wall looked like it was missing something, the method I used to filter the clouds flattened the blue of the sky so... Anyway, glad you liked the lighting effect I quite liked it too :-).
