Ahah it seems like every time I visit your userpage, there is something new and exciting to look at :D :D - how are you finding Full Metal Alchemist? Hehe I see you have a Mustang chibi-doll I think I shall have to visit that site for myself and adopt a few for my own userpage.

Oh and very nice artistic licence - I like the bit where it says it grants you permission to warp reality to your liking - haha that's fantastic :D

Haha looking at that site now, but the site is in chinese? How did you get through it? Or can you speak chinese - wow I wish I could X-P... oh wells I'll try my luck at it ;)

Who's my favorite from FMA - hmm Mustang definitely, he has this cool air about it, hmm he seems to come off as manipulative, but he's passionate about what is does, and goal orientated - and really does care about the boys. I also love Riza, she's just great by Mustang's side. Lust is the best Homonculi and Hughes I think is great as the 'father figure' well sort of X-P for Ed and Al... and out of the brothers, probably Al cause like you said, he's so sweet, and keeps his brother in check. Though, I seem to vary between which Elric I like better X-P

What episode are you up to at the moment? Probably past the Flame vs Metal one... um are you after Dr Marcoh?

Oo, lol and I figured out no that site where to get the gifs, I shall be adding them up soon. So many cute ones :D How on earth did you find it, it's such a good site for anime :)

thanxs for the comment on my vector of kira, and as for the eyes, i don't put the highlightes in them, cuz its not my style, if you seen my other gs/gsd vectors, you'll see that they don't have them, and most of them don't have their hair outline too, its my own style, and thats how it is, and i just out line it, i don't use stroke path.

Quote by walkure245How cute~ I support those two as well. ^_^ Her chest is a lil large from this perspective and the edges are still a lil rough which does no justice to your nice cging of their clothes and figures. I like the abstract bg and it's nicely brushed. The colors work well together. A really nice thought out piece~

Thank you. hehe, her chest was referenced from an official image OX

yeah, I like to airbrush and smudge for the cg, so everything looks soft, but I'm always at a loss about the lines... I tried taking them away, but looks odd; I don't quite like black lines, so I colour then according to their surrounding and tried to blur the lines a bit, but still doesn't quite fit with the softness of the cg. Any suggestions/advice?

Hiyee, Maplerose!
Sorry for taking so long to write back. I have a hard time writing back to people so it takes me longer than most people to return replies to people. Gomenasai~ m-_-m

I know what you mean. I like to airbrush and smudge the shadows too. The lines are rather difficult for me. The thing is, if you have a tablet, the lines are cleaner and aren't thicken. But since I don't, my lines are usually hard/soft black lines. But the lines that are scanned in aren't really smooth. So it's hard to get right. But maybe if you ink before hand and then scan into the computer, you can clean up the lines and adjust the colors. I used to do that, then I got lazy. XP
But if you ask rythem and evasion, their cging skills are really good. Evasion has a tutorial as well but it's currently down but they are really nice about giving advice. I'm really sorry for not being helpful.
Ttyl~
Ja ne~

Hello maplerose! :D

Thanks for the comments & favs to my vectors... :D I really appreciate it!

Thank you for your reply to my thread about Basara ^_^

Quote by MapleRosewow, beautiful vectors. Love the textures, esp on the floor.

are those bullets supposed to be resting on the floor? because the one on the left looks to me like it's floating a bit. maybe it's because of the shadow, or the lightness of the floor beneath it...

anyway, the feathers are a nice touch :)


Thanks a bunch for the comment on "Red Fraction"! Yeah, the bullets are suppose to be on the floor. Lol, you're right about the left one! I'll go fix it when I have the time ;)
Thanks again and see you around!

r q g

Quote by MapleRoseThanks! Hatori's as smexy as Mwu imo :D

yeah, I've been hearing things about Shigure too... where he's kinda...evil... but I still love him :)

maybe I'll vector him someday too... any suggestions of scans?

^-^ No, no, no, Mwu is teh hotness :P XD jk, because Hatori is also so very very smexy.

I actually think evil Gure-san is the hottest out of the three though. >_^ No wonder I always like assholes (in real life) lmao. XD

Um... Shigure scans? How about... ALL? XD jk
I assume you can vector anything (but I don't really know) so I know of some good screencaps of him.
I went ahead and uploaded 2 to imageshack for you, though honestly they are not the best of quality, but I really like them. ^_^

The first one screams... rape me... and so does the second one. XD ::fans herself::

Quote by MapleRoseya know, Sasuke's hair looks really cool from the back...

hehe, the robes must be fun to do :)

I know, Sasuke's hair is so awesome! I dunno, it's not the most original but I really love it in Kishi's style. So smexy. And Sasuke looks so good from the back its not even funny. o.O I've never been such a fangirl for a character. lmao.

The robes are fun. ^-^ <3 Thanks for the comment, btw. <3

hi!

I recently started to wander around the forums again and your username comes up often, and I just realise that you and me like the same couple in GS and you love to rant about Mu and Murrue, so I'm wondering if you would like to write an article for me about Mu, Neo and his relationships with other characters especially the one with Murrue for my fansite. I'll credit you of course!

hehe, I'm like obsessed with Mu/Murrue :). and I'd love to write for ya! I love Mu's relationships with other characters, like with Kira, Rau, and esp Murrue. What kind of articles are you looking for? like a general summary of their relationships, more indepth analysis, or character analysis?

and where can I find this fansite of yours? :)

Indepth analysis would be great, the site is at http://kalena.atspace.com/fan/hawk/, too lazy to write my own, I copied most info frm Wikipedia. I also have one Mu & Murrue fansite as well.

"Great site!
How long do you want each of them to be? and are spoilers okay?"
I doesn't matter how long are they, I'll leave it up to you but I prefer longer ones. Spoilers are okay. I will warn the reader of them when I put it up.

Quote by MapleRoseooh, pretty! great poses that you've chosen, and pretty background (so shiny and sparklie ^^)

but where's Meer...


thanks for your comment on my wall and on my guestbook! :D
Meer isn't present because she isn't a person that I like in GSD, I think she isn't important in the gsd ;) that's why she isn't here in my wall!

Quote by adeki like your vector. keep your great job OK. i will add it to my fav. ^_^

Quote by adekbeatiful captain, i like it ^.^


Thank so so much for commenting and faving my works! :) Yes, Murrue certainly is a beautiful captain ^^

Nice wallpapers you've got in your gallery :)

no problem. i like your scan so much. and you're welcome :D

r q g

Quote by MapleRosethanks for the fave! :)

Hi! How are you doing? No problem on the fav! I really like all your gundam seed and destiny stuff! Also nice userpage! Well I hope you have a great week! Take care!

r q g

Hi there, MapleRose!
I was juz dropping by to say THANK YOU for the comment and adding my Lacus vector to your favorites...^_^

r q g

Quote: thank you! yeah, the background is kinda slapped on.. you know me and backgrounds, we don't quite get along (same goes with hands....)

hehe, still waiting for you pic :)

Yeah, I never do backgrounds. >< Gonna have to one day though, if I wanna improve LOL and hands are my worst enemies! XD

... my pic... I was looking at it last night.. and I MUST fix some things... yes, definitely. lol. You will see it though! Eventually and it'll be at DevArt, of course. ^^ <3

Quote: ooh, nice pose. I don't see anything wrong with Sakura, she looks rather calm and at peace... hmm, you should try inking/colouring it, it might change your opinion on it ;)

Well I actually have already worked on this one a little, and I changed some things about Sakura... ^^ And one day soon, I am gonna finish it up... XD one day!

r q g

Aww, they relooped it, the first eps of GS was on last night... but I guess that is okay, because I did miss a heap of middle ones... but I thought the start was a tad bit slow. But hey, it's great to here GSD is getting dubbed, I mean even though the jap is probably a lot better, sometimes it's interesting to see the English take on it... then other times it's slightly painful *thinks Lacus' singing*

We aren't that much better for anime over here, we do get a lot of the kiddie stuff too, and then when I tell my friends I love anime, they judge it by that and think I'm really immature - ahha not that I'm super mature or anything, but they don't take the time to understand what I really like about it and are just like anime=cartoons = for kids -_-; It's sad, they really don't know what they are missing out on :( X-P

I wanted to check out Scrapped Princess because I thought it looked like it had a bit of medievil theme to it, and I wanted to see how anime pulled that off, because lots of anime are mecha or cyberistic.

~Kukuru~ ^_^

oh, just in answer to your thread, about Phase 44... spoiler coming, lol just in case any else reads your guestbook, but that is the one where Muflaga ends up dying to save the Archangel and Mwu is like 'No! You said you'd come back to me' and then she recklessly fires at the other ship... ahah I forgot the name X-P the one with Azrael and ... the other captain... I can't really remember her name ... is it Romius? I didn't really like her, she was a bit too arrogant for my liking.

Quote by MapleRose
yeah I hate how people assume anime is just for kids, probably because the only anime they've come in contact with is Pokemon or Sailor Moon -_-; Another pet peeve of mine is how my art teacher doesn't like us drawing anime because it's "copying someone else's style"... I could rant forever about that -_-

Scrapped Princess does have a medieval feel to it, but also a futuristic feel too with the way they fight (and use magic) :) it's just kinda confusing near the end, and a bit slow here and there. but fun series ^^

oh, the phase you're talking about is phase 49, the next-to-last one. yeah, I was devastated and shocked by that, because I do like Natarle (the other captain) too, even if she's a bit cold and arrogant, but she's a great contrast to Murrue, and she does show kindness towards the end. It's one of my least fave eps, but at the same time, one of my faves, because of just how cool and heroic Mwu was (and Natarle too, to an extent) >.<. and it's the reason I despise Azrael so much >=(

ahah I was a fan of Sailor Moon back in the day ;) I still really love the art, but watching the show now is yeah... it doesn't work too well X-P especially after such shows as GS and FMA :D ^.^ That is sooo stupid your teacher won't let you draw anime, what if you like that style and you want to adopt to your own, not AS your own, but develop your own anime style? Silly silly, sometimes art teachers can be so picky -_-; .

My friends compare anime to stuff like Beyblades, Pokemon, DBZ ... although I have to admit (embarassingly) again that I didn't mind Pokemon and DBZ for a while, ah the days when I was so naive X-P

I was just about to watch GS the other day wondering why it was on Adult Swim, becuase they showed the old series on toonami ages ago, then it was the episode where Genesis was fired, and you see people kind of getting blown up, then there was the one where Natarle (thanks for the name ^.^) was getting shot and I realised why X-P

Natarle, I agree, I do like her contrast, and it was nice to see her 'see the light' in that episode, also sad too because if she had realised it sooner, Mwu wouldn't have had to die :'(

Azrael >.< firstly, his hairstyle bugs me so much! Gah! Crappy hair, Natarle should have killed him off way sooner X-P, okay so there wouldn't have been much for a story then, but then Mwu would be alive - isn't fate cruel sometimes :(

Well, I shall be getting the series of Scrapped Princess soon, so yeah, I'll check it out, lol see how it goes :)

r q g

>< I feel bad because I haven't uploaded any Murrue/Mwu ><
I do have one of them though... but I'm thinking of either coloringit or shading it with pencils... dunno... >< But since I can't decide, I might do two versions. LOL.
It's not an original pose, I got it out of my couples book... it's mature art ::Laughs:: but you can't see anything. ^__^ So its tasteful (and I think its a sexy pose, lol)


r q g

Quote by MapleRose Thank you so much! :) yeah, I'm like obsessed with GS :) (esp Mwu and Murrue ^^)

hehe, I like making avatars ^^

Hey, at least it's a great obsession :D ;) I love Mwu and Murrue too! DEVESTATED about what happened :'(

Anyways, keep up with your lovely works :D Oh, and have you watched anymore of Full Metal Alchemist? :D Haha that is my obsession X-P

merged: 04-12-2006 ~ 09:02am
Woo - just finished the last ep of Gundam Seed ^.^I knew they hadn't died because there is a second series :( but it was still sad, haha and I was still on the edge of my seat thinking :O oh no! What is going to happen? Hehe I hope they start showing Gundam Seed Destiny... they showed the second series of Ghost in the Shell much to my suprise, so let's hope they do that for GS... providing it has been dubbed, not that I mind either way, they can show subbed too ;)

Aww, once a week of anime, that's terrible :( we have 4 days a week, well 3 days for Gundam Seed cause of Ghost in the Shell on Mondays. Haha and I thought 4 days a week was terribly X-P. I love chibi Ed and Al too ^.^ ahah and I know what you mean about short, it really can get to you after awhile X-P

Oh, you've seen Scrapped Princess? I was thinking of checking out that anime... anyways talk to you later :)

r q g

<333 Hey, add me to your watchlist okay? That way I get notifications for everything. ^^ <33333
Now I'm off to fav and comment on some of your stuff :3

r q g

Thanks for signing my guestbook :) Yeah, I'm watching the Dubbed version at the moment, and while the voice acting it okay generally - I mean there have been MUCH worse dubs out there, I think that once again the Jap actors suit better... even though I've seen like none of the original X-P just sippets.

Oh yes I remember Ep 36 - she looks really nice and has the great outfit... though the dubbing in that ep for her singing, just made me >.< because firstly it didn't match her lips (well, there wasn't much you could do about that since you know the language problem X-P ) and then her sining was no where near as good as the Jap version, which I had been listening to a lot before the episode and had really come to love that song. I like that episode however, with Athrun and then Kira is alive and the Archangel crew are all like wow!

Hehe, and one day you may just see that Lacus drawing... ahaha I should be getting a break soon for Easter and all - I can't wait!

Well cya around :D

r q g

aloha MapleRose.. lolz.. Thanx for the ulber long post on my thread - Which Gundam Seed/Destiny Couples you wish to see together? *gives 2 cents* XD XP
wow.. you are still new here.. ayane wishes you a wonderful stay in MT oh.. *throws confetti* :D
see ya around wor..

Quote by MapleRoseactually, the first pic of Athrun in the manga adaption looks SO much like a girl, that my friend whose well-versed in anime thought he was a girl
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d50/maplerose/athgirl.jpg

I think if one was a girl (doesn't matter who), and there's a romantic relationship, they'd be even more agonized, esp if their love started in Copernicus... it'd be kinda like Shinn fighting Stellar, except that they know each other much better, and know they're on opposite sides.

if Kira was a girl though, the whole Fllay thing would be screwed XD. If Athrun was the girl, the whole "bring Lacus back" thingy wouldn't work, because she wouldn't be Athrun's fiancee...

Thanks for your input in my thread! You have sum rather interesting pics of athrun from th e manga! they indeed make him look like a girl. ^_^'

Quote by MapleRoseShii-chan! :glomps:

I love that picture of him! thanks for making this :) the background looks great to me :)

Thx for the fav and comment! *hug* Shigure fans united forever! :3

r q g

Hiyee, Maplerose!
Kyahh~ Warm thanks for the favs and the nice comments on my inuyasha and fb scans and my GS drawings! >_< *huggles* I really appreciate the feedbacks and glad that you liked them. ^_^
Sorry for the late reply. I have trying to keep up with school and my notifs. Gomen~ It's cool to meet another GS fan. Yoroshiku~ True about Stellar's hair. I was trying to draw from the original screencap and they didn't do much shading in her hair so I let it go. XD But I wished they did one for Cagalli. *sigh* Maybe they'll make up for it in season 3.
Thankies again!
Mata ne~
