Hey skillz *waves* how's everything overthere? ^^

Quote: Nah I just graduated at the end of May, towards the top of my class too which was a proud achievement. Was pretty cool since it was something I've been working so tediously hard to achieve these 4 yrs and was able to prove how well I could do to both myself and everybody else.

congrats I'm glad for you.. all your study and effort has finally paid up *hugs* I'm happy for you I know you studied a lot..

Quote: It kinda sucks now though cause of the bad job market, I've been searching for work for 2 months now and haven't really come up with anything good. So I might just have to settle for something not so good while I keep looking or hope that I get promoted somewhat quick.

aw well I'm pretty sure that you will find something, but it is a good idea to get a job meanwhile.. I mean you will be making money to pay your bills and at the same time you can search for that dream job I do hope you find it and if you have found it finally congrats *crosses fingers so skillz can get job* ^^

Quote: But enough about me :P
It's good to hear all is well with you and that the drawing is progressing. Hopefully you can make some connections with people who might be able to get your work looked at and possibly even published somewhere down the road. And I'd love to see some of the stuff you've been coming up with as of late.

Good to hear from you!

Yeah I'll show you when I get online next time .. I have a couple of stuff.. now it's not exactly perfect.. you know I think I can still do better then this.. but I'm pretty have now.. I have been looking at some places where my work can get edited but I am afraid from what I have seen that the companies eat away all the profit I could make as an artist.. so I'd like to see more options and if necessary how much it would cost to publish my self .. ^^;; maybe it sounds complicated but companies like tokyopop only give to creators a profit of 30-10% of the profit of their work o_O .. I gotta get more info on this .. ^^

I don't know if I told you but right now I'm almost there to getting me my first new car @_@ I'm so exited .. my first car.. ^^

well anyways thanks for passing by my page and good luck with your job .. though you are a smart guy and you know what you want so I'm sure you will find a good job out there .. just be patient if you don't have it yet..

Hi Skillzpay! Been a while since I last talked to you! Hope you're doing well!

Hope you're having a wonderful holiday and talk to you soon!

uwaa uwaa ? still alive xD? I'm updating the site =/.....I want you give a small comment on each of your wallpaper =/.....so I can post it up

Update:
Forget the comment stuff I'll do that later...... \o/

hey man love your work talk to u later bye

*pokes*

I saw your current signiture with Mahoraba ~Heartful Days~ and just had to let out a "whoo-hoo!" I love that show. I assume you are in the same mindset. Just had to stop and say so. Now off to browse through more gallery submissions and leave comments while doing so. Have a great last year - wish I could say the same for myself!

Quote by SkillzpayCool wallpaper here, different from your past work. You did a great job in redrawing the missing parts since you can't even tell anything was added to fill them out. The concept has that deadly feel to it which I must say, again is quite different from your past walls. I think it would've been better had you of went with a b&w theme with the entire wall and just left the eyes colored and maybe the text too. Cause right now leaving the character b&w and having everything else have color is a bit of strange contrast.
Good job on this wall with some neat ideas. And I'm quite honored to see you promoting one of my walls. Thanks so much

Hi Skillzpay! Sorry for the really late reply, been so buisy with stuff that I can barely find time to come on. But I wanted to thank you for the comments on my "c.o.d.e of the Samurai" wallpaper! As always I appreciate your feedback and they help me see how to improve. At first I made the whole thing black and white but it looked too plain then >___< But I'll take on your suggestions about making the eyes and the words coloured. And no problem about the plug, it's well derserved, it really is an awesome wallpaper! I look forward to your next work! HAve a wonderful day and talk to you soon!

Quote by SkillzpayWow some good lookin' work here Dray.
That background scenery looks fabulous, although it does appear that you got it from somewhere else. The right edge looks a bit strange, almost as if you repeated your initial background image. The visible breathing you can see should be blurrier but aside from that this looks quite good. Definitely one of your better works so far!

Hey!!! thank you for the comment and the fav its gives me great pleasure, for the bottom, yes I it be taken on small a scan that I have to find and I have to arrange certain thing. Thank you to be to pass ^^

kisss

Quote by SkillzpayThe whole cloud-filled environment looks wonderful, very dreamy and not too bright which is good since ppl tend to make these kinds of walls too bright. Chi could use some more work on the extraction since the edges look pretty rough. The purple brush work over the clouds with the sparkles and butterflies looks kinda odd tbh, I think you could've done without them. All in all some pretty good work

Thanks for the comment on my wall ^^ Yeah, I need to do some extra work on my extraction but that scan was pissing me off so much that I gave up on it. I put in the butterfles and sparkles because it looked empty. i was going to use text but i couldn't find the right words and font. So I just filled it with random things and added butterfly wings to her back to add to the effect. Anyways, thanks for your honest ciritsism. I really appreciate it!

Quote by SkillzpayHmm pretty tough to top ryhanzaa's wall of this scan but you still did
an admirable job. The scan is too blurry on the right side of her head
and her hand as well. The grungyish wall and how you pulled off the
ground was great. The window however doesn't blend in with the rest of
the room you created, it's got too much of that clean and sharp
appearance. The text doesn't really seem to fit the the theme and feel
of the wallpaper either. Definitely some good parts to this as well as
a few areas of improvement but solid work nonetheless

lol...yeah..ryannza's work is indeed a great one. But I thought I can give him some little competition :P
anyways...that wall was done at 5:00am in the morning and has some serious errors. but it's always good to learn the mistakes from someone like u. thx a lot for all the advice man. much appreciated.It ll help me in the future for sure. u and ur comments really are one of the main factors that I am improving this quick bud. thx again for all ur feedback
see u later

Quote by SkillzpaySure although I'm pretty much limited to weekends for walling cause of college. I haven't really kept up with w.a.r. and all the details so I don't exactly know what we're supposed to do on the collab side of the competition :|

Cool! Well... with the collab.... so it'll start in a week and you get almost a month to work on it with your co-collaborators... there's going to be guidelines for the collab as well, and the category is a wallpaper, so the idea will be similar to round one (that's going on right now).

Details for round 1: http://pink-sugar.net/untitled-fairy-tale/battlegrounds_r1.html

3-6 wallers per group per collab. Post on the Simple guestbook if you wanna do it ok? *big bunny eyes*

Quote by hongrboiThe Kyuubi is a collab? Can I ask with who? And when can I expect it? I can't wait for it ^^

lol it'll probably be a long time till it's done cause I'm back in college now but anyways I'm partnered up with mezzed....thing is I haven't seen her around in ages o_o

Hmm...I don't understand how a collab wall works. How do you assign who does what and who gets to post it?

Quote by flyindreams*reads your message on top*
*pokes* wanna do it? The Simple-ism collab for w.a.r.?? It'll start in a week... ^^||

Go for it skillz! I have confidence that you will do well^^

The Kyuubi is a collab? Can I ask with who? And when can I expect it? I can't wait for it ^^

I always see you give out detailed and contructive feedbacks to ppl....
and i really appreciate ppl who will take time to do that....
so "add u to fdlist" don't wanna miss ur walls...and i hope i can get comments from u too ^^

Quote by SkillzpayMan over 1.5 mb for this wall o_o!
You should save it at a lower jpg quality to reduce that massive filesize.
Anyways, looking at this second version I still have the same issues with it that I had with the original version. Just too much particles and the kyuubi needs to be less flamey in shape. The colors and grunge look pretty good though.

Thanks for your comment and critisism on both versions. I want to have a lower file size but doesn't that reduce the quality? I already tried to make the flames smaller and less sparks but i gues not enough =( Should i go for version 3?

BTW, interesting avater xD What episode is it from?

Hey is the first pic in you 'Coming Soon' section a Kyuubi?

Quote by SkillzpayI hate to play devil's advocate here but I'm kinda indifferent about this wall. The whole picture concept has been done a lot so it's not something that I'd get too excited over. The leaves need some shadowing and depth cause they look flat and dont really give off the appearance of being on top of the pictures and tile. There seems to be something missing that brings everything together, possibly some text or some other added items could've been beneficial. One thing though that I did especially like was the tile. It looks great with its nifty design and colors. I'm sure you put a lot of work and thought into this but I don't think the concept allowed you to create something all that special unfortunately :|

Hi Skillzpay! Sorry for the late reply! Been so busy lately and school is also starting soon for me! Anyway, I really appreciate the feedbacks from you! It really helps me look at my work! I agee with you that prehaps I could use a different approach when using the scan and the concept was really hard to work with. The only thing that I was really focusing on was the scan ^^;; Maybe I should have focus on the background too. Thanks so much!

Wowies, I can't wait to see your new works! I look forward to them! Have a wonderful day and talk to you soon!

Quote by SkillzpayHey no prob man. You've got a lot of great BakuTen scans that are tempting to use.
If you'd like to check out the end result of what I did with the scan you, here's the wall: http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/163860/

thanks for the link... awesome stuff you have made, can't wait to see more Bakuretsu Tenshi walls by you ^^

Quote by SkillzpayCool concept here, in fact I'm attempting to do something rather similiar to this. A few things could use some improvement...first I think you went overboard with all the sparkles which end up being somewhat distracting, second the rasengan looks too sharp and should be blurrier, and lastly the kyuubi has too much sticking out. Imo the kyuubi would be better suited being more similar in shape to nartuto's body rather than having that pointy flame appearance.
Regardless though, this is an impressive attempt in trying to recreate naruto and him slowly being engulfed by the kyuubi. Great stuff and keep it up

Thanks for the great ciritsism! I only used a few brushes because my brush library is very small >< Tha sparkles are supposed to be water droplets flying out as the rasengan touches the water. Oh well...

You're trying to create something similar? I'd like to see it when it comes out ^^

-glomps teh Eddehness-

Thanks for the comment and the fav on ''Aquatic Breeze'' /Niwa-kun

Thanks again... Byeees!!!
