Glad to hear you had a good time over Christmas! I had good time with the christmas dinner stuff, so yeah all good. My fiancee's brother proposed to her gf on Christmas eve during dinner with her family - lol!

I went back in September for an informal engagement dinner with my family and relatives back home, so that was good to catch up with everyone also to show my fiancee my root of origins

And of course my parents are coming for the wedding, I'm not walking down the isle by myself! But no other relatives can make it I don't think, everyone's busy and pretty much need something like a year of advanced notice

Quote by flyindreamsOoh, nice... neat job on the render ^^ The moon seems a bit too bright to me though in that it takes some of the focus away from the house... still, it's a nice scene and I like the underlying concept behind it as well

Thank you very much for commenting on my work.
After reading you comment, I do have to agree with what you said. I might make some change to it after I'm done with my upcoming projects.

By the way, have a happy new year.

Sincerely,

Yu-huang

Quote by kawaii-chickenI hate you and your awesomeness T___T

simply beautiful and simple

Super late response? xD;;

Glad you liked the E7 wall though, thanks? xD;;

Merry Christmas btw ^^

oh ditto to you

enjoy my reindeer puff

You've got Australian boyfriend? Well, next time you thinkin of going to Melbourne let me know

Yeah I know how you feel, I get emo over Christmas and NYE as well for similar reason - my folks are also overseas in Indo and I only get to see them like 2-3 weeks in a year. Even when we get together we never really do anything special, we just sit at home and watch tv coz the roads are crazy during festive seasons. So yeah, I should really know better by now and stop expecting anything but somehow I still do, I still want Christmas and NYE to be a special day even though I often just get disappointed because of high expectations lol!

But yeah, today is no exception, got slightly homesick emo and wasn't really in the mood for singing the carols at church even though everyone was really happy to be in holidays and stuff. Tomorrow Christmas day just gonna have a quiet one with my fiancee and his family - the future in-laws LOL! Which is okay, I know everyone pretty well and they've helped us heaps with the new house reno and everything so it's good to spend Christmas with them to say thanks.

And catch up with my sis who also just got engaged on the 27th which should be good. If anything I think I've already received my Christmas miracle this year. Me and my sis never get along well since we were kids, massive personality clash and not a lot of common interest - except for anime/manga lol! So yeah, this whole time we've had lots of ups and downs, the whole family tension thing which was worse coz we were sharing an apartment so it got pretty crazy at times lol! But yeah, I dunno how but I woke up one day feeling all that burden in the past kinda gone, and I really feel like I want to start over with her and try get to know her better this time. Weird huh? But kinda nice feeling as well, very humbling

Anyhoos, let's not stress over the xmas/winter thing, let's call it off this time around and start over in the new year. It would have been good to get it done but I couldn't pull it off in time, gomen. I'll keep working on it though, send it to you for feedback and stuff if you're not going away during that time Should be good, I'm looking forward to it as well, seeing this is the 4th attempt at the same wall lol!

Well, have fun at your family friend's place tomorrow, PS2 and yummy food sounds good
Merry Christmas to you buddy, God bless

PS. have you had a chance to play Wii? We've got it on our wedding gift registry - that's what the newlyweds gonna be doing after the wedding LOL!

Hello flyin-san ^_^

Dropping by to wish you a happy Christmas etc etc... (sorry for that, but i don't have anything new to say, given all my creative potential has been depleted by the 10 or so Xmas greetings i've made so far... pretty lame ).
Anyway, i hope you have fun, get a lot of loving, and don't eat to much cause it's bad for your stomach !

Take care

anj

PS i didn't know about the brownie points.... i'll try to get a lot in the future, but you might feel like banning me after some time if i send too many (oh, and you've usually already taken all the good drawings... so that makes less brownies for the others !) lol

Lovely design work, but I do agree with alterlier about the text and logo not fitting very well. The petals seem a bit heavy to me too, in that there just seems to be a LOT of them. Having fewer petals and more of a color-fading distinction might help create a stronger sense of distance and airiness. Otherwise, love the clean crispness of the image, it definitely makes for an appealing desktop ^^

Thanks a lot for the comment! Heh, I went slightly overboard with the petals indeed. Who knows, I might tinker with that wallpaper later and improve it. So thanks for the suggestion =3

Quote by flyindreamsSweet design and colors Glad to see shi-chan's continual pop-style work XP

thanks for the comment sweetie! xD
yeah, I hope I don't forget how to vector anytime soon so I can make more wallies with swirlies! which you said you like, I don't get why you like my twisted vector swirlies xDD;;

Quote by flyindreamsCool ^^ I like the simplicity of course, and very interesting use of body parts that makes for an intriguing composition :3 The colors are nice as well... I wonder what this would look like with traced as opposed to stroked outlines. Nonetheless, still a really nice piece of work, and glad to see that you're not dead yet

Thank you for the nice comment, I really appreciate it^^
A little question: What are traced outlines?

Quote by flyindreamsI admit I don't frequent the vector art section on MT that often, but this is just lovely *_* Lovely soft shading, perfect lineart... gorgeous work You should put this in a wall <3

Hello, thank you so much for the warm comment , I am so glad you like it. Yup I plan to make it into wallpaper ^^ thanx again and Merry Christmas in advance ^^

Quote by flyindreamsmonchiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii(...)

Hawt job on your latest wall :3 What do you want to do for ILD? xD;;;;; *piles list of online things to procrastinate for on monchi*

I actually just realized that one of my personal project ideas could be fun to try, but yeash want your input lol

P.S. *do a virtue wall for meh *

meeeep I'm coming I'm coming!
Still working on something for xmas lol! When's the end of winter? lol!
It's taking painstakingly longer than I expected, keep scrapping from scratch, it's the 4th time!
I'll never paint on 1 layer again, ever!
Sigh, do you still want to go ahead with the xmas/winter thing? It's getting really late .. gomen ..
We can still go ahead and take recent submissions dating Dec1 onwards ..
There's a bunch of walls within the theme already out, so I'll contact them and try pick up new ones in the making as well.

Umm ....... yep
*rush back to walling cage meep*

PS. any plans for xmas + new years?

Quote by flyindreamsYay it works! Really adorable job on the vectoring... love the colors and the overall warm atmosphere, makes for a sweet desktop... I really like the way you did that sky x)

Yay! Thanks you like it I'm really appreciate your kindess for putting a comment thanks

hehehehe- thanks so much for your comment on my "swing, swing"

As a fellow human, I do get impatient and irritated at times. So let me know as soon as possible please.... my mind can't suffer any more boredom.

Check this out if you have time to spare.

Quote by ShokuHi flyindreams,

I am excited to hear that there is actually something that I could use my talents in. It seems somewhat very unbelievable or I am just too excited.

LOL Don't get your hopes up too much. They'd probably mostly be small-ish projects for people on this forum, or possibly another forum. Unfortunately none of them have really started up yet since I've been annoyingly busy with work, moving/settling into apartment, lots of other projects and what-not. So yeah sorry, but you might have to hang for a little bit while I straighten things out... x)

well, anything beside boredom and writing school essays.

I just want to ask something *answer either or both questions before Dec. 22nd*:
What kind of person are you like?

or

What do you like to do? Hobbies?

please reply as soon as possible

Shoku

Yeah I'm cool with the winter+xmas theme, just a matter of getting the promo stuff happening! *dies under a masive pile of work*
I'm soo tempted to ditch the promo thing and just start inviting friends to join. I've started on something last night, see if I can get anything worthwhile there. Yeah I'll do that actually, just post the thing up now and invite some friends to join, don't have to wait for the promo whatever. Maybe should've thought of it much earlier LOL!

How's work? Going on a break soon right, what a perfect timing to start working

Quote by flyindreamsThanks for the guestbook message, I'm really glad that you're finding simple-ism inspirational ^^ 'Course I don't mind about the friendslist, and it was interesting to read about your dreams and goals. I can think of a couple of ideas that got tossed around for different projects that involves both wallers/artists and other members of the community like writers So if anything ever pops up, I'll definitely drop you the info.

See you around ^^

Hi flyindreams,

I am excited to hear that there is actually something that I could use my talents in. It seems somewhat very unbelievable or I am just too excited.

Oh about my dreams and goals...I hope I didn't bore you with them even if you say you find them interesting...I can get out of hand once I am talkative enough or once I am involved in a conversation for long enough. But otherwise, I am quiet and obedient as a dog *reference to Louise calling Saito a dog in Zero no Tsukaima*

And your welcome.

I find simple-ism relaxing and an ease to mind. Maybe it is a stress reliever?! ^^

Shoku

Quote by flyindreamsNice, I really like her expression in this scan ^^

Hi flyindreams! thank you for your comment on my Neon Genesis Evangelion, i'm very glad you liked it.
Have a nice day!

Quote by flyindreamsDamn your painted works get more and more impressive with each submission...! This one is probably my favorite so far, I love the way you used lighting and the awesome contrast between different textures in the wings, rocks, waves. The wave sprays look amazing, and damn the colors look great too

I usually don't use walls with these type of colossal mecha-ish creatures but this is simply stunning, and it just looks hot on my desktop. Awesome job

^^; My thesis adviser also told me that my work appeared not fully organic but with signs of being mechanical. BTW to produce those dotted like spray waves just turn your brush mode to dissolve to achieve such effect. Thanks for the comment and the fav... I also updated it and added a glow on the wings and mists to further increase the mood.

Thank you.

Quote by flyindreamsBy the way don't feel obligated to rush the x-mas thingie... keep the expanding to winter theme in mind. Another benefit about doing that would be, you could extend the deadline of the project comfortably past New Year's Day :3.

Okay you bought me with that argument, let's do it!
But can we make it so that it's winter theme OR xmas theme? So then if it's just xmas only without any snowflakes or whatever it's still acceptable. And vice versa, winter theme only without any xmas-ness is also fine. You think?

And did you say you've got something winter-y on the way? *hint hint* LOL!
I'm pretty full-on this week as well but I'll see if I can squeeze some time to get stuff done for ILD. I also want to get stuff done for the painty group and vectorness as well, which at this rate I think I'm being very hopeful ... *sigh*

Oh well, at least the good news is I got crapload of stuff done for my wedding prep with my week off work last week, can't believe it's only 7 weeks to go!
