Except you can actually enjoy Last Exile and not regret losing two hours of your life to the worthless drivel known as Sky Captain.

As for the scan, Bravo.
I have always admired Murata's work. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for commenting on my Last Exile Postcard. ^_^

Do I sence that someone actually did watch all of Sky Captain? My sympathies to you.

Quote by elessar007Not exactly sure what you mean when you say "extracted", but this image could definitely use some clean-up work. The areas around her face and hair look blurry and indistinct, almost like this was a smaller sized image that was enlarged. The yellow cording in her hat looks as if it were filled with compression artifacts. The image is cute but needs a lot of TLC in order to be useful for a good quality wallpaper. This particular image would make a good canidate for vectoring.

Thanks for sharing.

By extracted I mean that I copied it directly from the game, so this is the highest quality possible with the current software I am using, I am still searching for a better software though, the only modification I do to some images is cropping them to decrease their file size if there is plenty of empty regions around the character.

-poke, poke- How are you doing? And I do have another wall up. ^_~

Quote by elessar007Okay, okay, stop poking me.

I am doing just fine, thanks 4 asking. I just don't spend as much time here at MT as I once did. Ever since the policy shift that resulted in such a massive deletion of 'ecchi' images the site has gotten boring, IMO. I am not a big fan of the doe eyed, soft focus type of imagery that seems to dominate MT now.

That issue aside, it's good to see that there are still some very interesting creations being made by the members of MT. Thanks for reminding me via your newest wallpaper.

Ahh. I'm not too sastified with MT myself. Is there another place you hang? That deals with wallpapers, of course. I'd just like to hear more of your critique and to keep in touch. And I'm happy to be of service. I'm just recently becoming more active on the site.

Oh, and thank you very much for your critique.

Quote by elessar007This is a doujin or some other un-official work of the title character from Eureka 7.

Sonotori ^^

Hi elessar007! Thank you for oyur fav on my lineage 36 scan, i'm glad you liked it.
Have a nice day!

Quote by elessar007Excellent job, in my humble opinion. I especially like the way the layering is inclusive of the extracted character as opposed to the more common method of making a bg and then placing the extraction on top of the background. This way gives a texture and sense of depth to the image in its entirety. I really think this is a great wall, with the tiny exception of the bits of text on the image. As a matter of personal taste, I do not like to see titles, names etc. on wallpaper unless it is actually a part of the image composition.
Thanks again for sharing sharing some of your work with those here at MT.

Thanks, for the comment. It was my first time ever attempting this style. I'm starting to see a dislike in text as well, however, I cant just kiss it goodbye just yet. I hope I have more comments from you for my upcoming works. Sadly, I'm kind of fixated on this style at the moment.

Okay Elessar007, as it is your 2nd time warning from CW, I am so sorry I will have to remove you from the group. Actually you can rejoin us later if you want and make sure of your action ^_^

Okay see ya around and good luck anyway.

Quote by elessar007Very cute picture. I'm guessing this is from a doujin cover or something to that effect.

BTW, lingerie is not always allowed. This vector was deleted from my gallery because of mature content along with quite a few other images and none of them actually showed anything that is expressly prohibited.

Hmmm...I see, but perhaps if the Lingerie includes an outer lingerie layer is ok. Lets hope, the reason I feel this is justified is because what it actually shows is more like a girl with a singlet, and wearing a bikini bottom of sorts. It is more to that.

Anyhow, thanks for all the lovely comments. Appreciate them a lot.

I am so glad you understand for us CW, sweetie ^_^ Yup, just visit the group, say smt and join the newest cotest "Banner cotest" with your vote ^_^ So you should read all the annouce too for all the news ^_^

Good luck and i am so appreciated you care that much ^_^ See ya sweetie *kisses*

Elessar, thanks for the comments and favs. I'm glad you liked them. Take care.

Hi there Elessar-san ^_^ So sorry I have to send you this warning 'cause you haven't take action in Colorfull Wallies for more than 2 months. So now, if you still want to be a member of CW, you can post in the group your will and being more active. We have to be responsible to build up a fresh and high-quality group for all CWers ^_^

Hope you understand ^_^ If after 10days from today (22th March) that means on 2nd April, you still not reply me so i will del your application ^_^ Hope you understand, sweetie.

Quote by elessar007Great vector work. Unlike some others, I like the fact that you can't see Luffy's face. I think if you shrank him down in order to fit his head you wouldn't be able to emphasize the hat as strongly as you have. Sometimes I think that too many wallpapers are just snapshots of a character slapped onto a background. This wallpaper is a refreshing reminder that there still are people on Minitokyo that know what the word "composition" means. Good job.

Thanks for sharing with other fans of One Piece.

Thanks so much for the comment on "My Treasure"! I'm glad some people got the point of it ^^

Just Wanted to drop by and thank you for the comment you made on one of my scans. Glad you liked it. Unfortunately it was deleted because, I guess it was a duplicate... Just wanted show my appreciation though.

You're quite welcome. Truthfully, I can't recall what scan it is that I made a comment on. I looked at the thumbnails on your userpage and in your gallery but am still not sure.

It was the one with tifa.

Quote by elessar007Was it a scan of Tifa from Final Fantasy? Whichever it was, thanks for sharing.

Np. I'm glad you liked it.

Looks like you liked the Silmarillion by carrying the name of the stone and the title of Aragorn.
Good. Tough the history is really crazy in the movies, the concept is...well, "could not be undone".
I liked your nick, touhg 007, well, NO WORDS.

Yeah. It's a magnificent book.
I rather it somehow besides "The lord of the rings" books.
The whole world Tolkien created in there, it's just...you come to think, didn't Tolkine had anything else to do in his WHOLE life?
Thanks for replying at my guest book.
See ya around.

Quote by elessar007Really looks good. Maybe it was the lack of an outline but there appeared to be some spots that just didn't seem smooth. It looks like many of the curves were made up of a series of short, straight lines instead of a single curving line.
The highlights and shading in the hair turned out very well. Good job.
Thanks for sharing.

Really? I'll have to take a closer look at that! But thanks for the comment

Argh, I wrote an entire PM but I hit the back button by accident and it erased everything!
Anyhow, yeah, I understand what you mean now. Those pin things in her hair were harder than I thought, 'cause I didn't have any outlines to guide me
I'll see you around!

The difference when it came to slavery the Dutch knew when to quit. .. Now if you want to start a pissing contest you know where to find me....

Acutally unlike some Americans I don't live with my head up my ass. Please do note the "some" atm I'm confident you have a fresh look on things.

Nice to meet you,elessar007.
When I submitted Hold My Hand 3, I made a mistake in the category.
So I mended the category.
Thank you for good advice!

Maido!^^ I just wanna say thanks for your reply on my thread! Hope you will have a nice week!^^ See ya!

Thanks for the very useful comments on my latest wallpaper.

By the way, the link to my userpage doesn't work. It's been spelt umbbody instead of umboody.

See ya around!

Quote by elessar007 Although I agree with most of what you said, the image was not removed from my gallery for any reasons related to hentai or ecchi. Originally, I had a much larger resolution version of the same image that I had gotten from a torrent file. It was removed on the request of the person who did the original scanning. Therefore I found a scan done by someone else and then uploaded that to replace the one that was deleted. Unfortunately, the one that is in my gallery is a smaller resolution.

I find it rather silly that a person who scans someone else's artwork and then posts those scans on the internet w/o the artist's permission gets upset if the scans are redistributed on other sites. Its not like I tried to take credit for the scanning or anything. I clearly stated that it was not my scan. I simply was sharing some quality scans with other anime enthusiasts. Anyway, thanks for the comments on those two Tenjho Tenge scans. Hope to see you around.

I'm sorry to hear that you were requested to remove the image, I didn't know that the image had been replaced at all.

I myself am an artist and would like for my art to be displayed in as many ways as possible. It's like free advertising. Anyway, art is ment to be enjoyed, not hidden away by someone who dosen't want their art to be displayed for any reason. Thank-you for your responce.

Hi Elessar007, thanks alot for your comment on my scann. And... you're right, my scann is still.... far away from perfect. well... i guess i need to improve my self hehehe.....

2. Main Entry: red hot Function: noun1 : one who shows intense emotion or partisanship 2 : HOT DOG1 3 : a small red candy strongly flavored with cinnamon

hahaha....just droppin by the great scan collector's page and found this lol!
It sounded like a level 90 spell from Bleach or something meant to tickle your bones more than activate a powerful spell...
it just cracks me up...really funny comments and generic comments, i hate them, but well, eventually they will get muted for spamming, hopefully....
hope everything is fine with you, keep up with the scans, love them!

Quote by elessar007Just curious, how is it 'officially released' if it is from a doujin artist? I'm not trying to be a pain but isn't the term doujinshi used to refer to artwork that is created by fans, not by the company that produces the anime/manga? Additionally, there is no copyright mark or anything else to indicate that this was released by the company. Not to mention that if you found it on 4chan and not the company's website, you can't really be sure that this isn't the hardwork of some otaku who likes to make wallpapers.

ah, this is well mentioned, just a sometime ago, I was sure I saw the doujinshi floating around the 4chan hentai section, I am sure of it, I checked again and it is not there anymore.

I mentioned cause most of the doujinshi released for selling and something rather more mature themed and something like this one scan should be sponsored by a company. I am sure back then, I saw a company print on it, I can't remember what since it was written in Japanese, with .INC behind it, seems like proof enough, unless I am wrong. However, it does not blinds the fact that it is a scan does it?

And plus, the character itself is definitely official, and considering how most company releases similiar wallpapers with such effortless cut and paste backgrounds, I can more or less confirm. Many examples such as Hentai Game companies often gives out free downloadable wallpapers on their site, and more than ever, their basic WP background is always the same as the said scan.

However, you are welcome to do your searching and prove me wrong otherwise. Thanks.

Quote by elessar007Lovely image. I'm putting into rotation for my wallpaper program. I am puzzled as to why you did not color Maya's skin or the weapon in her mouth.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for stopping in to look at my wallpaper and taking the time to comment! Believe it or not, I actually didn't color her skin and the knife for a reason. When I was doing the picture, I thought she seemed like an assassin, and felt that both her and her weapon should carry a more cold/dead/evil feeling, so I left it void of color. The flowers and such are more alive/warm/good feeling, so I accented them with color. Although I did color the tassel on her knife, which I realised later, but left because I wanted to keep that color in the wall... *rereads her explanation* I'm sorry if I sound like I'm rambling and stuff, I'm not good with trying to explain why I do things, I just know it didn't seem right to color her or the knife... *shrugs*
