Quote by MapleRosenice job vectoring
and extending the scan
However, the perspective of the roof looks really.. odd. But that's a hard angle
to work with, so points to you for trying. The railing should be smaller as it
goes farther, so instead of the lines being parallel, they should converge
slowly. Also, I think you need some shading on where the door and the floor
meet, to give a sense that the floor is underneath. For the shingles, the slope
looks too sharp, it should be more gradual. And the highlighting, instead of
using a square bit of light in the middle, try using a line going down the
length of the shingle kinda offcenter (like how it is in the scan), to give it a
raised and curved feeling.
lol! Mna, I know what you're meaning. I guess I couldn't find the perfect
perspective which I did noticed that too.
Though on my next wallpaper I'm trying to see if I could add my own touch like
you mentoned. :3
Oh, I tihnk I did add shading for the floor and the door it's just the shading
is too light because I put it ino 25%. I'll try to correct those errors next time when I use a perspective.
Quote by MapleRosewow, pretty painting.
I love how you did the clouds (clouds are hard to paint >__< ). Did you
use any reference pictures?
Thank you for your comment. =D And nope, I didn't use any reference pics, just
Photoshop and the default brushes. It was hard and difficult, yes, but it's okay
if you have a tablet. :3
Quote by MapleRosenice vectoring job,
it's smooth and clean. The only thing I would suggest is that Tamaki's skin is a
bit too pale; he's wearing a white thing, and since you're not using outlines,
his chin and the white cloth kinda melt together...
keep vectoring ^^ would you like to join ?
now that you mantion it, yeah, they do seem to be melting together . i had
a bit of a poblem choosing the skin color cuz it was darker on his right side of
the face and lighter on his left side so i kinda chose somewhere in between the
two.
as for the group: sorry, won't be joinin' it for now. maybe sometime in the
future when i'll vector more and have more confidence in my skills. what i'm
doing seems like child's play compared to what i saw on the group's
page.
+ thanks for the tutorials on your page. they really help. *hugs*
Quote by MapleRoseI suppose the design
looks nice, and it looks a bit like stained-glass. But I think you over-used the
filters, that we can't really tell all the details...
=\
ORZage
Yup. Filter-over dosage and was too late when I just realized.. <---- Was
just too lazy to re-do the whole thing. *ish slapped*
Quote by MapleRosewoah it's so... pink!
I'd imagine you with something... green
icons? what icons?
I remember there was once a tutorial on how to make semi-transparent boxes, but
I can't find that thread anymore... but if I remember correctly, it involves
taking a screenshot of your page, then place white box set at "screen"
layer mode on top of where these boxes would appear, and reupload your
skin.
an easier way would be using css in your custom userpage content thing.
add
Quote: div.inner {
opacity: X !important;
}
where the X is a number <= 1, sort of like a percentage where 1 is 100%. This
number determines how opaque your boxes will be, the higher the number, the more
opaque. I set mine at 0.82.
However, this only works in Firefox, not in IE. Also, since the css is on your
userpage only, it will only work on your userpage. So when you browse around in
other places of MT, it will go back to being 100%
opaque.
Thank you! ^_^
Oh, so you put css codes in the custom userpage content thing. haha, I couldn't
figure it out. lol. I'll use the css one. it's easier. hehe. And I never use IE
anymore anyway, unless I'm in school. (and most of the time I'm using the macs
so it doesn't matter anyway. xD)
Yeah, I didn't plan on it being pink. It just came out that way. xD
I always thought it would be green or brown. xDDD
icons as in the user icon next to the username on forum and guestbook posts.
=P
That's why it looks like an explosion right now. (maybe you need to clear cache
or refresh to see it?)
Quote by MapleRosew00t! nice new
layout! lol, the last one was so light and bright and fun, and this one is dark
and elegant ^^ Will the button change too?
merged: 08-31-2007 ~ 09:13am
oh btw, when I view it in Firefox, there's a gap missing on the right side and
my skin shows through
I have changed the button is it
still the old one?!
yeah I know that......you see Im not very good with the HTML codes I used the
codes of this thread
when you view it in FireFox it looks messy thats why I wrote "best view
with internet explorer"
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 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.
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?
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.
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. ^_^

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.
