:'D arigatooo flyin! <3333

Quote by flyindreamsI likey, although the crease in the clouds right above the short guy's head is making me go ? a little bit xD

Well spotted.

Quote by flyindreamsDefinitely some beautiful scans from this artist... I especially like the little details here like the lily pads. It's inspiring ^^

thanks for the comment on my Xixiang Ji scan i'm glad you liked it!
yes they're very inspiring indeed!

he stuck on my page xDD anyhoo, keep walling widescreen will ya? because i need it for my computer xDDD

Quote by flyindreamsPurty design indeed I think if you can come up with a concept for the wall then it'll probably feel less empty... and also so I can put your entry up on the offsite page lol. The concept definitely doesn't have to be anything mind-blowingly deep or profound, but maybe just what that symbol on the bottom signifies. For the moment I think, maybe playing with some (subtle) colors overlays over the vectors could make the design stand out a bit more visually.

That's just hte thing, I'm drawing a blank when I stare at it... dunno what kind of a theme to use I guess I just thought it was a cool design, and wanted on my desktop, but dunno what concept to draw from it =S any suggestions?

Quote by flyindreamsYeah I would agree with above two comments about connecting the squares. I'd also suggest making the borders less thick (or possibly even getting rid of borders altogether ) but maybe with some straight lines in between the squares extending out... kinda hard to explain xD Anyhow yeah the way it is now, it feels really random.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've made the borders smaller and changed it so that they line up (I've tried connecting them but that looked really weird ), does it look better now?

Quote by flyindreamsReally not much to say apart from beautifully done! Very lovely and fitting tribute to your cousin. For a bit of nit-picky critique, I feel like the outlining in her hand could be a little stronger, because it blends into the background a bit too much. Her four-fingered hand also threw me off a little bit, but I think that's how it looked in the original. The clouds on the bottom right could be a leetle more subtle, but that gets into really nit-picky territory so I'll stop here lol. Again, beautiful job :]

Thank you a lot! And hello of course =3

Haha, I usually don't mind nit-picking so please, go on. I enjoy critique [but just not loads of it, I get tired too at times haha ]

This wallpaper was planned a long time ago, even a long time before my cousin's death. I had outlined her and her hands before but had a completely different idea for placing the chara and so on. But I got tired and left it in my folder, suddenly remembering it after the accident happened. I don't know, I hope I don't sound cheesy, but I really felt like it should be a hmm, tribute to him, since he really liked my first Amy wall and he liked these colors. He liked Amy's artwork which I showed him. So I thought he'd really like this wall if he'd still be alive. God, now I really sound cheesy. But the idea is really suiting my feelings for him and what happened.

Oh haha the clouds I know they're really weird! I don't mind you saying it should be more subtle, I appreciate you seeing that, I know they're not perfect, but, just as a little secret [which will be in your GB anyway and every curious mind will be able to read it...] I don't want to work on it anymore. It gets a little too much on my emotional side.

Oh and BTW! If you really want weird-ness, look at the second from the bottom bird's face. Looks drunk to me.

Thanks anyway for commenting and leaving your opinion I really appreciate it. ^_^

Quote by flyindreamsI'm definitely starting to swing back into the shoujo genre because of Nodame Cantabile. HYD I only read bits and pieces, despite it being a classic... I did like what I read though Hana Kimi I watched a few of the early Taiwanese live action episodes. Seemed like a fun show, but I wasn't a tremendous fan. Then again I'm generally not a live action person... yeah

Neither am I. On general I watch really little anime and a few live-action series, I prefer feature films, though I think I am familiar with the classics, e.g. Akira, GitS, Cowboy Bebop and Interstella 5555.
Btw, I always forget to thank you for your feature gallery, it kinda helps me to keep up-to-date after a longer break from MT...

Quote by flyindreamsLove the warm earth tones and the sketchy style... beautiful scan

Yeah, when I first saw it as a tiny photo I loved the pose & colours, but I have to admit I'm not keen on the sketchy style... I doubt anyone will use it

Quote by flyindreams
Ima Mokona! xD And thanks but not really... unless you're thinking it's an improvement in the emo over warm cuddly department.

Good to see you back on here btw ;] You have more stuff in the works right?

Yeah (?). Well, maybe not so much for here or AP, but I've got some stuff to update my DA with in around a month or so.

I wasnt talking about that wall specifically, btw. I was just saying in general; you've improved.

Quote by flyindreamsUrgh -__- Yeah it's mine. I'm not really an LJ person... can you tell that person off for me? Just say, I made the original image, and this faerirose person can either give me credit for making the image that she cropped + slapped text on, or else please take it off... since I original made it to be a wall anyways =__=

Actually if it's too much trouble I can log on to my defunct LJ account ;; it's been ages since I actually used it

Thanks so much shi-chan for letting me know <3

no problem ~ and yeah if i can i'll go tell that user for ya y

Thank you very much for your 3 comments .

Quote by flyindreamsI had no idea this was from a b&w scan until just now when I read your description... and now all I can think is wow! Stunning job... the coloring job just looks so professional, and the soft Asian-style bg looks lovely xD

Thanks flyin, this made my day. ^_^
- And I'm really relieved you liked the BG, I find it so tricky to do them '

Oh, best of luck in the upcoming w?w round! [Not that you need it... ]
