Quote by Ephemeral-GardenLol Shinn looks quite adorable in here. His pink cellphone just stands out so much I really can't let my eyes off it. The word 'cute' seems to be the only word that fits Shinn's expression.

Awesome vectoring. And I love the texturized background which makes it looks so... eye-catchy. I love texture.

The overall looks is good, but for some reason Shinn's adorable face just doesn't seem to fit the whole textured, decayed-looking background. But it's still a nice work. Background me likes <3

Thanks for the comment! Much appreciated!

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenYes... Death Note. ^^ I just finished watching Death Note and Death Note: The Last Name few weeks ago and I just <3 L. He's just gorgeous (and cute!)

Everyone loves L! xD;; I mean, I really liked him too, but Raito's twistedness just really got to me (in a good way). Maybe I'm weird ._.;;

Thanks for the comment on the Kino wall too - glad you liked it, yay!

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenThat's pretty detailed. Quite nice. But I'm just wondering if the outlines which appears on some of the objects (especially the brown ones) are vectored according to the original vector, they look pretty weird and out of place.

But then, just ignore what I've said. It looks very good and very detailed.

thx for the comment.

well i did improvise on the shades of the vines a bit and i erased some of the outlining of the cherry blossoms because they seemed a bit disturbing, but the rest is pretty much according to the original scan.

Hey Sofie... you have got to see this!

Wheee! No more Gundam Seed sh*t!

Hi there! I made use of your vector in one of my wallies. Sorry for lately informing you about it because I forgot where I got the vector from. At least Akaiken told me, *in a very rude way*!

If you wanna see my work it's here:

It's not much but I hope you like it.

Ephie.. ^^;;;; Haven't talked to you in ages!

Tantei Gakuen Q in live action! o-o Have you heard about this? Just thought it was interesting even though I didn't like the movie much..

Quote by Ephemeral-Garden Hey. Did anyone told you it's really painful to type in your guestbook replybox? *I nearly blinded myself there* Thank goodness MT has the advance reply box. Phew.

Well anyway, here I am. ^^ So you want me to tag you here?

I WOULDN'T SPARE YOU YOUR LIFE.
Because Ephie will keep cracking your guestbook until you have no rest. Nah, Just kidding.

So how's life? I'm pretty okay here. So I see you've updated your guestbook eh? Whoa, you're a Chinese-American. Interesting. ^^ But geez, your photo really looks depressing. Was that just posing or you're really depressed?

Gah. I didn't know drinking tea at 1am can turn you into an insomniac. *shakes fist* Darn my head hurts so much. Sleep time destroyaaa!

I love my reply box It prevents wary children from falling into the vortex that is my guestbook

The photo is posed. My friend was like "Everyone's Myspace pics are so happy and fake. Someone should totally do an emo pic." So... there we go! Still fake, but hey.

Although my hair's different now. [twirls bangs]

Yess'em, imma Chinese :3 Just came back from spring break trip to China too; funfunfun. Customs stopped us and almost took our tea ¬_¬;;

TEATEATEATEATEAAAAAA is really delicious but full of caffeine! That's probably what induced you insomnia! Hurraaaaaaay! [I had plenty of the stuff myself on my 13-hour FLIGHT HOME].

Yeah. Got so much crap in China though <33 A sheet of Death Note stickers, 2 posters [Death Note and X], and tons of Chinese caaaaaandy~~~~~ in bright packaging! But it probably tastes like crap!

Ugh. School tomorrow.

Quote by Ephemeral-Garden Well I hate your reply box. Lol. That's a good posed photo, I must say. But hmm.. I do have to agree with all the photos that can be seen in Myspace, hehe. Now that reminds me to do one of a kind pic for my Friendster photo.

What? Are you serious? Tea has caffeine? Now that's unheard of. But that doesn't change my love for tea, and yesshhh.. I hate coffee!

Yea, I've seen those chinese candies before... well I wouldn't say they taste either bad or good... they just taste weird, not the kind of taste that I've had in my tongue before.

I see. School eh. Are you still in high school or university?

I'm a high school frosch <3 I get picked on my upper-classmen! My parents berate me about making good choices! I'm dreading the slow approach of my junior year!

Life is good.

Chinese candies are disgusting o_x;; I don't get how so many of my friends jump on them when I bring some to school. They're so... sweet/disturbing. Meh. -opinion!-

Speaking of photos, I need to shoot one for Facebook >->

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenCompared to your previous submissions, I think this one is really unique and beautifully done.

I agree with fireflywishes - it really looks like an official scan from an artbook. The painting are very professionally done. The drawings of the characters, the weapons, the cool outfits, every detail is just awesome. Colouring is awesome as well.

Great job. I really love this one.

Yea, I'm still in that process of trying to shade correctly But thanks! I'm glad you like it!

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenJii-chan's really disappointed at the fact that your mermaid has a cloth on. *stares on the comment above*

But it's really surprising to see that even water colour can turn a picture into a magical thing! I suck at water colour so it'll prolly take me 100 years to get this effect.

I really love it. It's really too lovely to overlook this one. Your drawings are okay, but how you applied your water colour is really something that must be taken serious notice. ^^

Great work.

Thanks!

Bah, watercolor can be a pain sometimes, but to be able to paint like I do isn't difficult. I'm not that great, really. So don't give up watercolors! They can be rather fun to play around with.

Quote by Ephemeral-Garden

:) No problem.

Yeap, I agree. Water colour is quite a pain. I'm not quite knowledgeable about water colour but everytime I tried painting, the brush just doesn't seem to like me at all. Instead of being pointy it'll be a brush with a bad-hair-day tip (not sure how you call that).

But yeah, I'll try on water colour again some times.

XD Bad-hair-day tip. I love it! Yeah, the quality of the brush will also have an affect on how it behaves, I've learned. I took a watercolor class last year, so my mom bought me some decent brushes. I kind of went, "Ahhhhhhh...." when I started using them.

Do! Do! And if you don't want to spring for the expensive paints, the Prang watercolor sets have really good pigment in their colors.

@ julian1:

Yeap, I'm going for limkokwing in april, but I'm going for the one in Kuching though. I'm taking diploma first. (so that means I'm going to be in kuching for 3 years) But if my results are good during that 3 years, maybe I'd consider going for degree over in semenanjung. ^^

hehe, alright. hope to see you then. btw... what course you're taking?

Animation and Multimedia Design. I know there's one Diploma in semenanjung specifically for animation only.

ok... alright. some of my friends are taking the diploma for animation, but they say there's only 2D animation, whereas in 3D you learn both 2D and 3D. i think the same goes to your course too. anyway, good luck and have fun!

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenWow, 10? I've never seen a perfect anime but great anime, that's a different case.

My bro watched Princess Tutu but I don't think he'll rate this 10, it's pretty much different from what you've reviewed though coz I remembered him saying it's a bad anime or something. But since it's airing in Animax now I'd better watch it for myself. But I've seen the art for a glimpse but I don't think it should be 10; probably about 7.

Thanks for commenting <3

Well when I rated it I didn't
mean to give it such a high rating,
I just though that for it's genre it was done
well. But I guess I should have explained that ^^'

There are animes greater then this
one

But it's worth just checking out :3

Quote by Ephemeral-Garden
I suppose that's a good thing. ^^ So you just finished your training in tech support?! So I guess you know how to fix a jammed scanner then? That's great! Lampy gets to meet his kind and hang out. Maybe we should let him go on a vacation in Europe to meet more kinds of lampies.

I heard of Curtin, we have one over here. But I don't know about the rest. @.@ Well, I have a number of friends currently in Perth. But I forgot to ask which university they're in. *knocks head* Ahahha, well, if I were to go to WA, it's more of a vacation instead of furthering my studies. Forgotten states huh, why say so?

hahahah Im sorry jammed scanner is unsupported, please contact your scanner manufacturer XP

Now Perth as a holiday place hmmm I dont think its really worth while for that. There isnt much to do over here except look at buildings and go ohhhh ahhhhh hehehehhe and as for being one of the forgotten states, most people havent even heard of WA its always Melbourne and Sydney and they aint even the state O_o plus bands frequently forget we exist as they go to Victoria and New South Wales for concerts and never come here or the others, maybe Queensland if they are lucky. I went to see Weird Al last Saturday which was great because he went to ever other state but NSW and Vic...now that is love.

I missed you too on MT Are you sure you added me now? I didn't get any notif ;

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenHiya Evo. ^^

It's been quite a while since I last cracked your guestbook. So how've you been?

By the way, I've got info from Misa you're from Perth. Are you? Coz curiosity is killing me. I was wondering how many universities are there in Perth; especially that's related to technology.

Ohhhh my first guestbook entry in 17 weeks Im special heheheh Lets see my days usually consist of work, work, work, work and more work with school thrown in a couple of days a week so its pretty hectic. I just finished my training in tech support so now I have to listen to people all day asking why they cant get line sync and fix my email but Lampy get to go out and play for a few hours a week and socialize the the others so he is happy.

Also I am from Perth We have few universities the major ones are Curtin, Edith Cowen, Murdoch & University of Western Australia. Out of these ones Edith Cowen is the most technology based with Curtin coming a close second and the other 2 are more general purpose doing pretty much everything. Why you wanna know? Some poor sucker wants to actually consider coming to WA? hehehehhe *hangs head* we are one of the forgotten states in Australia.

Quote by Ephemeral-Garden!

Morita has finally held Hagu's hand!
Haha, anyway, I enjoy this scan. It's really rare to see Morita doing like that. Plus the expression on everyones faces are obvious. (Takemoto's sad T.T)

Great scan.

Hello! Thanks for the nice comment. Yeah, their expression are very obvious
Hagu is so lucky

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenCharacter design is good, the colouring is great as well. ^^

But maybe the clouds are not necessarily needed. They just look out of place since the black out cloud is already there they just look weird together. A better font might work. Or maybe the font with different colour instead; maybe black? Since your character is wearing mostly black, they must match the character since they catch the most attention, not background.

Hi Hi. Thank you for your comment! I'll think about the font. I don't like it so much either, but at that time I just wanted to get it done and over with. Anyway, thanks again for the comment! See ya 'round.

Heyhey Epphie-chan~! Haven't talk to you in a while You must have taken your SPM results already right? How was it? I bet you mustave did great~! 10As? 9As?

Haha Hi there enchant. ^^ Nice to see you around. Have been busy with Form 4/5 I guess? By the way, which form are you in right now? I've got quite a weak memory (especially when it comes to something like this)

Yup. I've taken my SPM results. Well, it wasn't so good like you expected. (10As and 9As? That's just too impossible for me, considering that I've been slacking quite a lot during my senior years in middle school, mwahaha ) Well, I've got 5As out of 11 subjects. 3A1s and 2A2s. It's actually way better than what I've predicted myself to get, hehe. I'm glad, cause I did my best. ^^V

Lols. You love my page huh? Glad you like it. By the way, do drop by sometimes. ^^

Form 4 Stoopid homework driving me crazy I shouldn't have picked pure science, the teachers are nuts~! I should have at least dropped physics That subject is the MOST horrible of all! Plus, with my suckie teacher, things won't be better

Ooooh well 5As ain't all that bad ^^ My friend got 7As ^^ So you're going straight to Uni? or going to form6? or studying overseas? Ooooh yea btw, did you get picked for NS?

Haha Sure will drop by when I have the time

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenWell, like how Shuda explained it, it's just "grown-up love". You know, Shuda made a move on Cattleya, something like that. But not in detail though, bwahahha.

Owh, Fairy Tail huh... well Fairy Tail... the story is basically about a mage named Lucy who wants to join a mage guild called Fairy Tail, which is quite infamous for the amazingly skilled and awesome mages that are in that guild. But the mages in that guild though, creates quite a havoc whenever they are to do something heroic so they've got quite a bad reputation and thus pissing the heck out of the mage council members. But the mages are really awesome though. ^^

So one day Lucy bumped into this guy called Natsu, who happens to be a flame mage from Fairy Tail. So yeah, after some incident, Lucy finally joined Fairy Tail and thus the story within Fairy Tail begins.

Fairy Tail is basically about magic, magic guilds, mages, darn darn darn they're just awesome. It's really different from Rave, lots of cute guys, lots of babes, and the drawings are better than his previous work Rave as well. ^^ Click on the link to read more! ^^ And tell me what do you think about the manga after that. Coz I'm just in love with it right now. Come on, make the anime already!

Ooooh... now that's interesting!

I see... now that's interesting, again, hehehe! So Rave and Fairy Tail are works of the same person, eh? I guess I really should see it! it's not that obvious that you're hooked on it!

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenWell it must be hard to guess that you actually made this wallpaper. It's really different from your usual style! Definitely surprising.

^^v

I need to practice re-CG more often ><

Thanks for dropping the comment

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenHahha, I've seen the anime. But the artwork isn't as good as the manga, and the voice acting is... weird. But then I've never seen the whole episodes so I won't be too sure. But I love the manga, I love Inoue Takehiko! ^^

Well eh... Rukawa's attitude is a little like Sasuke. Well of course I know Rukawa has been long born before Sasuke, but using Sasuke as an object of description will makes it easier to how Rukawa's like.. hehehe. In the way he really wnana be the best, stuffs like that. ^^ But I like Rukawa, but definitely not Sasuke. Don't tell me you're a big fan of Rukawa?

Girl, I tell you, you better watch the whole episodes in the anime. It's really CooL!

I'm not a big fan of Rukawa, it's just that for me, comparing Rukawa with Sasuke is unacceptable! >=0!

In fact... I'm a big fan of Tensai Basuketoman... Hanamichi!

Quote by Ephemeral-Garden Not exactly fiance but he and Cattleya did "something" together when Shuda visited Garage Island recently to visit Shiba and to inform Cattleya about Gale's death.

Click here to view all Rave's scanlations in English. The part where Shuda showed that he and Cattleya really did something was in volume 21, not sure which chapter but I think it's around chapter 170+.

Shuda used the term brother-in-law to tease and heat things up (especially Haru). ^^ By the way, have you read Fairy Tail? Hiro Mashima's latest work? Wwwwooo! Gotta love that one. Click here for the currently available scanlations on Fairy Tail. ^^ You'll love it, trust me.

Hmm... what in the HELL is that "something"? I'll go check the links! Thanks...

Errr... what's this Fairy Tail?

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenHiya Misa. ^^ Well, just dropping by. It seems like you've been very busy lately. Uni must be really taking lots of your time.... ''' Anyway, I'm going to go through what you've been going through now so I'm a little nervous. It's just too hard to imagine how uni life's like.

By the way, maybe I asked you this question before, or maybe not... but do you live in perth?

Hey Ephie~!

Indeed I am quite busy lately... I can log in about once a night for a limited time because i'm so tired from model making and all that Ah, well don't be nervous, because it's probably the most rewarding time of your life Freedom and all that stuff- it all comes at this time

Nope I live in Sydney ^^
Evo lives in Perth, if I remember correctly

Welcome to the Mt-Review Group!

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenI've seen FC, and to say the truth I don't really like it, well except the music they're great. Well I'm also one of the victims that was fooled by the simple drawing presentation, the style really looks old but it's in... 2005 if I'm not wrong.

I really don't like the twisting plots, it's really hard to understand. @.@

But this is a great review, nonetheless. But it's really hard for me to "feel" this anime.

p/s: Origa sang GiTS's opening. ^^

yeah I guess the plot twists can be confusing (how it's all connected together and all that). At least most of the questions have been answered (unlike Loveless where the ending's just wtf -- ah don't mind me, I'm just ranting now...)

*doh!* I knew she sang the openings, that's what I meant... but I think my brain malfunctions when I wrote that =_=... thanks for pointing it out, I fixed it now

HOLY SNAP EPHEMERAL-GARDEN FROM AP?!

This is aplastictree. Remember me?
