Quote by MapleRoseyup, 4 votes = gallery.

um, I'm too lazy to highlight =P besides, the page is kinda full. So yeah, totally democratic.

well, how about the monthly feature? Like for the item with highest votes in the month?

Quote by MapleRose
btw did you guess for w?w yet?

I did, but I'm not sure about my score yet. Either below or above 50%. How about you? And your wallzz.... >_>

Quote by gaara-no-shukakuA new place to spam! :3

lol, Mai-chan has been here for a month, and you're just starting to spam here? XD

Lol, I live in a cave. X-P Anyhow, it's good to read that popular-chan article, what a random name you picked. :D

r q g

Quote by MapleRoseah I see you've added some text. Actually I kinda like it better without text, 'cause it looks too.. extra and unnecessary :\

Yeah, I just thought it looked a bit empty in that area, but your right, the feel of the wall isn't the same with the text ^^" Thanks for pointing that out :)

r q g

So, the nominations with 4 and more votes will be added to the gallery. Don't chu want to highlight any of the featured vectors, like giving reasons? Or you just want to be totally democratic, like at Simple-ism?

Quote by MapleRosenice work, I like the atmosphere ^__^

a few things to point out though: first of all, the outline stands out too much, because it's black and sharp while everything else is either brightly-coloured or pastle-coloured, and soft. I suggest using dark brown for the outline, and perhaps blurr it a bit?

like chloe-chan said, the hair looks a bit too smudged and blurry compared to the rest of the wall, possibly due to lack of outlines. Same with her eyes.

the blanket thing over her shoulder, the two bits that are draping over her shoulder looks over-smudged, so that it loses its texture and edge, and looks kind of odd.

the shadows from the flower branches in front of her should be more diffused/blurred, as shadows are rarely that sharp.

the bushes on the bottom left corner, although is a good idea, looks too sharp, esp compared to the painted-ness of the rest of the wall. Also, things tend to get blurry as they get farther away if your focal point is in the foreground. So those leaves should be blurrier/less in focus than the girl and those branches to create depth.

That's all I can see. just some minor details to point out. overall, it's really nice and I see you've put a lot of effort into it ^^

hiya Maple-chan XD
thanks alot for the sweet comment :) & thanks for pointing out my mistakes :) I really appreciate that :)

Quote by MapleRoseHi Lord DREAM, just dropping by to say congrats on being featured on MTM ^__^ and thanks for those scans ^^ (and I'd love to see more or your walls, your vectoring style is really neat ^^)

ah thank you for the kind words Lady MapleRose, i really appreciate that. ^^ i was surprised about the honorable mention in MT M#2. i hope to finish a few more walls myself. i have 5 separate works in various degrees of completion. :(

:leaves MapleRose a red rose:
au revoir

Quote by MapleRosewow, lovely details! *-* nice character designs too :)

good luck on the contest

Thanks for ur sweet comment and sweet heart, can feel u r very sweet from ur words
thanks for fav and for suggesting too, u make me touch <(^3^)>

Quote by MapleRosehaha cute design, I love the fairytale-like setting, and nice colours. Nice border, though there's a black area on the top left corner of the border that looks like it shouldn't be there.

can't wait to see your tea entry XD

lol cute, I didnt wanted to admit it but I guess that's the correct word for it and if you liked the, how you called it, fairytale setting , then you like the whole thing, so I'm glad, the border thing, hum it's not that it shouldnt be there is just that it didnt look bad for me and at the end thought it was giving a detail, some sort of weird rustic detail, kind of think it goes with the taste.

and well, you put the scan I'm walling as the tea one in the request section so I'm thinking you'll probably like it.

r q g

Quote by MapleRosenice work! I love your inking, reminds me of Chinese ink brush strokes ^__^ nice bold colours. You're really good with Copics ^^


Yay! That's the effect I was going for. I wasn't sure how well I'd pulled it off, though. Glad you like it! :D

Quote by MapleRosegreen looks... different on him.. wow he wears 3 shirts XD

lol know, just yzak, shinn, and hiene, sakurashirayuki is going to do athrun XD

aaah sorry for the late thank-you =.= I've been too attached to PS lately. The Bread wall was... er... the day I went crazy, to use that much pink.... glad you liked it though.

r q g

Quote by MapleRosewoah, 3 vectors in 2 days, you've come down with "Vector-Itis" XD

is it just me, or does her skin look really really pink? O__o

oh yea about that, i had a problem with that, and i was trying to get her skin right, but couldn't, it is my first meyrin vector XD

...For the advice!

Quote by MapleRosenice vector, you've improved so much since your first one ^^

yeah it does look exactly like the scan... I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not, but I do kinda wish you'd put your own touch on it...

Glad you like it! Though maybe you're right! I'm not sure what kind of touch could I put to a vector? Different colours on it or a ceratin backgrond that's the same for each vector to be distinctive.

It's not bad that you said that, but it does make me think. I mean to me I guess when it comes to vectors I just vector them away and make colours brighter. :D Though I can't think of what would it be that would give it my touch? :o It's just like drawing, where everyone has their own style and colours so you know who's who. >:D Thanks for the advice though. :D

Oh yeah, can I ask you this question? Can elite members change catergory for a certain wallpaper, vector, or doujinghi just like moderators? :x

hmm, maybe try using textures and patterns? Or instead of using brushes, use multiple layers of vectored shading (like this vector)? Just a thought ^^

Yeah elite members can move gallery items, do you need something to be moved?

Oh yeah, I remember seeing that from carbon. It was very unique as you said and it was his own touch. :D Thanks so much for the example, now I have a better idea of what you menton. :)

Yes, I do need something moved. This [url=wallpaper]wallpaper[/url] was in the catergory of Kannazuki no Miko instead of Kyoushiro to Towa no Sora. I know the character couples look the same, but they're not in the same series. Here's the scan I used from the wallpaper to show proof it's in the Kyoushiro to Towa no Sora catergory. :D

thanks a bunchhh for proposing my wall to be highlighted!

Hi!
I just stopped by to congratulate you for the 'Did you know?' articles you write on MT Maigetsu. I always read them first, they're extremely funny! You go girl!
XD Can't wait to see the new adventures of pOpuLaR-cHan X-P
Cya around!

r q g

ohh thanks a bunch for the nice comment and the favie! .. that vector gave me headaches to finish lol..

btw.. i have a little question about the codes at MT...
i tried to put the thumbnail of "the painting steps" but it doesn't let me...
i use a lot this things on AP [img] [/img] to show little size images instead of putting some text as link, but they don't work in here... is there another way? or is it just that MT doesn't support those stuff?..

merged: 08-02-2007 ~ 02:56pm
thanks for the information XD
i guess i will have to be happy with the links :P

r q g

Quote by MapleRosenice job ^^ wow... you must be insane to vector all those things in the background *-* ...

the shading and highlights on the characters look a bit over-smudged, thus losing some of the texture and clean-ness, I like the subtle painted shading on the wings better.

anyway, the background is amazing, and congrats on the highlight(s) ^__^


sorries for replying late.....
hehe insane.......really dont know...
thnx for the advice on the smudging thing...im new at those things...
im glad you liked the wings
many thanks
bai-cha ^___^

Quote by MapleRoseI love the colour usage ^__^ and the scan extension, looks seamless. Love the subtle textures and patterns too. congrats on 2nd place! :)

Hello MapleRose,

thanks for the comment and the fav! :) I am happy that you like my wallpaper... next time I'll try to submit something with more paint technique again... OX

It's always fun taking part in competitions! However since I want to finish my uni diploma paper in October I don't have as much time left as I wanted... that's why it always takes me quite a while to come up with something new.

Well thanks again and I'll be seeing you around! Take care!

Quote by MapleRoseOne relatively flat pillow to rest my head on (although by morning I'd someone end up off the pillow ^^' ) and one very comfy pillow to hug ^^ . I find that if the pillow is too high I end up with a crick in my neck the next day... I can't understand how the ancient people used blocks of stone and wood as pillows, ouch!

O.O omgosh they used stone for pillows?! i would die b4 i could get to sleep on that X-x
