Quote by MapleRosehooray for tablet! ^___^

very nice job on the watercolour-ish, ink-painting style ^__^ Did you just use the default brush?

Thank you ^_^
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've never used anything but default brushes - I downloaded a whole heap once, but I never got around to trying them out. Hmmm, now I want to.

Quote by MapleRoseAh you're welcome ^__^ I really like your walls. Hey why aren't you on my watchlist? *mwuahahaha! pressure to make more walls

Oh no! I hate pressure! ^_^
I think I need it though, my spare time is all going towards my ps2 lately and my poor little walls are missing out '
Hope you don't mind if I add you as well.

Quote by starrliteangelYES! can you please put this in the next issue of maigetsu?! <333

Sure thing Any specific message you want to write?

umm..not really. Should I have one?

Quote by MapleRosejust finished Aria, it's so... cute ^^ and I love Neo Venezia, since I've been to Venice, and it's such a pretty city. though it's kinda weird that they have all this advanced technology, yet they heat their homes with traditional wood fireplaces

In case you haven't heard, a third season of Aria just got announced! I too love the seemingly-contradictory combination of high technology and quaint lifestyle in Neo Venezia, but it's all part of the charm of the series. Aria isn't the most interesting anime or one of the best-made, but I've always found that it's lovely to sit down to an episode at the end of a long day, so it's great to know that there are others out there who also appreciate it ^_^

Quote by MapleRose though the black looks kinda out of place 'cause everything else is pastel and light. It contrasts too much, esp with the full opacity.. I'd think dark purple would work better.

lol actually, I was going to make it dark purple, but I realized that I didn't have any black in the wallpaper yet and my theme required me to use black . Putting black on low opacity wouldnt work either because then it would be dark purple and not black. hehe.

Quote by MapleRosenice pose and emotions. The pose is so sad and longing. Nice colours and good job on recreating it. However, I would've liked you add bits of your own touches instead of just recreating the original. Also, I think those clouds looks a little bit over-smudged...

Hi! ^_^

Yes, that's the one thing I'm afraid the most, not adding my own touches... it's just that I still am quite a newb at things like that, and I still haven't created my own style. I'm glad you noticed that tho, now I have what to work on. Yes, the clouds are weird... I should had tried more, but [this in more on a personal tone...] my feelings got the best of me so ... well, they aren't perfect...

Anyway thanks for commenting, I really really appreciate it.

Hi there,

thank you for the comment^^
To tell you the truth it was bothering me too. I will overwork it when i got some more spare time^^
A nother thing that bothers me somehow is the moon. i think it is sticking out to much. What do you think?

See ya and thanks again^^

ne thank you for the fav
and comment but yes i do use a tablet
to draw with...but unfortunately my tablet is getting old on
me so i need to save up and buy a new one soon
ah and i use photoshop cs2.

Quote by MapleRoseeee pretty. I like the colours. and those splats ^__^ Are those from textures, or are those brushes?

Textures and brushes :3 Wow, what a late reply

Heya MapleRose
I've been meaning to get round to this for a while, but I'm really slack...
I just wanted to thank you for proposing the highlight on 'Life is not a Spectator Sport'
It was a really big [and really nice!] surprise to get highlighted.
So thank you. ^_^

Hey Rose <3
I need help with the highlights in GSA
Could you give me the codes for that please?

Quote by MapleRose
Your signature is creepy. I think I see a face in there >___>

I remember seeing a discussion on merging somewhere before. It's done to prevent spamming. You need to find someone else to spam in here. Or, spam here yourself. =P

Lol, I didn't see any face there...

Haha, spamming myself. I thought about it before, but I think ppl would think I'm insane, or maybe too noob.

Quote by MapleRose

btw, for the image to show up, you have to use the [img]URL of image[/img] instead of [img=URL of image][/img]

lol youre the best! thanks so much

Quote by MapleRoseWow it's beautiful! I lvoe the colour choices, fits well with her expression. And wonderful vectoring job, I love the subtle shading on her skin. The pattern in teh background is a nice subtle touch as well. I prefer the non-textured version, 'cause it feels fresher and cleaner ^__^

nice work!

hello MapleRose-san!
thanks so much for the comment and fav! I appreciate it!
I too like the non-textured version better. it looks cleaner
well, I'm glad u like it!
have a nice day! ^^

Quote by shinshinoviThis one is not a review.
This is a criticism.

No, this is more like a disappointed/angry fan's rant. Except, that's what forums are for. Reviews are for objective analysis.

I don't care about the scores, they're just some numbers after all. But you did point out some positive things about the sound.

And yes, you dislike the movie (you got that point across), but the way you wrote it out made it sound more like a rant than anything else.

Now that you mention it...it does really sound like a rant. X-X(Knock out)

Wow. Gee. Thanks for your helpful critisism and next review I'll be sure to take it to mind! Thanks. ^^

Thank you for the comment for Ganon and the comment/fav for When the Days Were Long. ^^v

Quote by MapleRosewoot, I like ^^

yes, OC + tablet = heaven! *--* so, get a tablet

Too expensive. I actually never told my parents I do digital art so it'll be like, what do you need a tablet for? Me: uh... It's a rather awkward situation... >> I'm weird.

Quote by MapleRosefor outlining, er, it takes some patience to do it right, but I find that if you start with a large resolution, then resize small, it looks better.

I like her hair, and expression/pose. though the wall looks a bit empty/light, maybe adding some light colour would be better?

For some reason I never thought of that. Thank you. xDD

Quote by MapleRosenice vector, I like the depth in the shading of her eyes ^^

btw, would you like to join ?

Thank you for inviting me to your club :] I'm new here and I don't really know much about that site yet [nor about what being a member of the club means] so first I'd like to learn about the account options and rules here. But as soon as I make myself more at home, I'll write to you ^^

OH~! thks maple rose san yesh ur a good example ^^ good artist making good tutorials thks just wanna say thks ^^

Quote by MapleRoseyou know this looks somwhat different than your usual style, in terms of vectoring and colour O__o But the pose does remind me of this other wall you made so I thought this might be yours, but then I thought somebody might be deliberately copying your style >.>

woah for pastel colours, reminds me of toothpaste for some reason

I wish I could fly, will you tell us your secrets of flight?

I knew that that freaking pose was gonna screw me up, oddly the last time I also knew what it was gonna reveal me and however didnt do anything about it, it's just a chemical disorder or something....you in any case........had the fun of the time ...i supposed, tricking everybody

and no...probably I wouldnt tell you...since I have a lot of trouble knowing it myself

Quote by sailorchironWow, this is beautiful MapleRose. I have really enjoyed all the anime advertisements that came out of the last round of w?w, and this WOULD be a great sunscreen ad. ^_^ Nice job on the vectoring then painting, it's really beautiful.

Thank you ^__^

yeah I love some of those advertisements, and it's actually a fun theme to work with. I hope you can join w?w next round...

Quote by MapleRoseHi Kitten,

Um, for the GSA contest, I thought there was gonna be a popular vote as well? We didn't even get to vote, and the "voting is done"? O__o

Oh! well since we didn't have enough members writing
I thought we could skip this feature, but I can add if you want me
too. I don't mind, I kinda forgot it actually

Quote by MapleRosenice vector, I like the patterns in the background. the only complain I have is that the blue gradient looks too sudden, I think it can be better blended into the black (ie have a more gradual gradient)

Oh, really? oo; Thanks for saying that. I didn't see it ^^; Will fix it soon.

Have a nice day~~

hey, thanks for the fav
