Quote by MapleRosehey gaara, a question for you: for your outlines in your latest vector walls, did you use stroke or fill for the outlines? 'cause they look really really thin and I find I don't have the patience to make thin lines with fill DX

Believe it or not, I actually used your lazy technique for the vector, since I really wanted to try it long ago. So, yeah, fill paths. But I'm not sure the outcome is so thin like you mentioned.

Quote: Lol, of course Popular-chan has Photoshop! It said so in the 2nd issue/chapter. She used Photoshop to create her screencap-collage userpage, and to enlarge/add borders to those scans, remember?

well, too bad she can't see those comments and faves when it gets deleted DX ...

Must be missed that chapter. Err, I should check it back. ^.^;

Quote by MapleRosewow, nice vector and background ^__^ I like how the background and foreground are well-blended ^^ Did you use a reference picture for the background?

you should join

hiya MapleRose

thanks im glad you think so

thanks i had a difficult time trying to get the colours right since they didnt match at first

i did before i decided to give up on it about half way through since the image was 500x493 pixels so small resolution and low quality even in that small resolution

plus i decided to change a lot of things cause there was text and other random stuff cluttering a big portion of the image so i decided to make up most of it including changing the stain glass windows to my own liking

thank you for the invite

-clicks join-

thanks again

thank you for the lovely comment and i also want to say thanks for faving my wall Sacrosanct

i really appreciate it and im glad you like my wall

i hope you have an enjoyable day and take care -waves- ^^

Maplerose, Please moves my vector to the category wallpaper

Hello MapleRose
I've got a question, and hopefully you can help me. I was looking around the tutorials at Paint-o-rama. But I couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm in the process of making a Final Fantasy wallpaper. And I wanted to paint in the pyreflies, but don't know how to and I can't find anything that will give me an idea.
So...could you point me in some sort of direction. Please? *puppy dog eyes*

Rose, I feel bad for letting you do and update the nomination system at Vectory by yourself, since you'll be having midterms exam. I do hope the other admins help on that matter. >.>

Quote by MapleRosenice vector, very clean ^^ I esp like the multiple tones in his hair ^^

btw, would you like to join ?

Oooh! I would love to join!
Thanks for the comment by the way!

Quote by MapleRoselol, that's Stellar-kitty sitting on Rey's head isn't it

Yep. She's not pleased that he stole her food, I guess. I don't know why she latched onto his head though. Guess it must be yummy. Thanks for the comments on the scans!

Quote by MapleRosejust wondering, how many entries do we have so far for purokon, and when do we get to see them?

Lol, we have 6 entries (and the contest is over) and I'm really slow with the judging/voting 'cause I've got limited time, but the voting will be held soon!

Quote by MapleRose

Quote by kykyopjI was never actualy planing on participating, but beacuse of the lack of competition, I think I can make a little something there. I have a idea for it, but nothing ealy outstanding yet. You think you can give the contest a little extension? I need a bit of time to preper ^^'

Sure, we're in no real hurry. How much time do you think you need?

Not 100% sure, but I think I might be redy some time around this folowing Monday, if that's not too far away ^^

thank you for faving "Kalika's Black Rose!" =)

Quote by MapleRosewow *-* ...

love the colours and sense of movement. The hand is well-painted, lovely shading. And I love the enigmatic look in the eye ^^ Those fish look.. kinda out of place and unnecessary though =\ But overall, great work!

Thanks ^_^

Mmm, I think that fish is ok - it works as frame and give more mad feeling to pic %))

Quote by MapleRose
I saw the pics from a forum, which probably got them from you

Thank you SOOOO much! *glomps* ^___^ I love RGB, esp RGB chibis Are they scans from Newtype?

Are you uploading them to MT?

You're welcome! They're scans from the magazine Newtype Romance...Seems to be targeted at girls, lol, judging from the content and its name.

I wanted to, but I wasn't sure if they were large enough...

Quote by MapleRoselol, beware of the wrath of Cagalli

wait, you scanned these right? Then you should change the source to "self scanned"

Oops! Changed it now. Thanks! And thanks again for the favs!

Ok you're going to laugh because it is REALLY dumb, but I basically was trying to edit the title, forgot to move the category (so it was still on 0 or whatever the default was), hit submit and then it just disappeared into the void T__T

But yeah I see you're linking the offsite so that looks great. You're AWESOME btw doing all the hard work to crank out the newsletter every month!

Quote by MapleRosewhere did the announcement thread to the inspiration minimalism project @ simple-ism disappear to?! O__o I wanted to plug it into MT-Maigetsu (since we're short on material in that section and all)

Quote by MapleRoselol, awesome idea, great sense of movement, and nice background (love the texture/pattern for the background, where did you get it?)

you know, you should submit this to the minimalism project ^__^

thanks, and it's a texture I jot from deviantART annnndd suuree I will :3

Hey Maple, I updated the group a bit, (GSA)
added a new banner and changed the music.

I'm wondering if it's time for a new skin

Hi Kitten,

thanks for changing the banner, it looks great ^^

sure, if you want to have a new skin, why not. I'm a bit busy at the moment (in fact, I shouldn't even be on MT >__> ), so you'll have to do it.. who usually makes the skins? Since we currently have Shinn and Athrun, and Lacus in the banner, how about the picture of Kira and Cagalli (for sibling love)?

Thanks and your welcome! :3

Uhh Enchant usually does it so I'll give her a message,
Kira and Cagalli? Hmm well I can't stand her but ah well
she does have fans, I'll consider them :3

Quote by MapleRosewow, nice job extending the scan, looks seamless ^^

Yay, I'm happy you liked it! I've only learned recently how to use the healing brush, so it's really nice to hear that~ >w<
Thanks a lot!~

Quote by MapleRoseooh nice use of colours, I like the tints of colour on her skin and tips of her fingers ^^ and I like how you blended the colours for the spilled nail polish (mmm I love nail polish, though I'd never wear purple or green though, just reds and pinks and yellows, maybe blue )

reds, pinks, yellows and maybe blue? lol... when you use yellow in your nails, there's nothing you cant actually put on , I wouldnt dare

Quote by MapleRose
ahaha aww, you can't remember the secondary colours? hmm, some parts still look somewhat blue to me (on my screen anyway), like the lids of some of the nail polish and that one bottle on the left side that was cut off at the end and that one bottle to the right side.

haha...shuu

Quote by MapleRoseme love the painting and texturing <3, and the angles ^__^ nice lighting as well, I love the break in the clouds thing ^^ His chin's not pointy, but it looks a bit too smudged =\

LOL! That's the effect of blind people likes me :3 Anywho thanks and It's uber late
(reply) so sorry (lol I can't help but think of that crap kids show my brother and I were watching the other day when I say that :X)

Quote: muahahaha! you know you could still enter and we could do a vote-off in the PoR guestbook or something (yours would win anyway )..

...........................................(...)

nu-uh...

a dance off would be more interesting than a vote off C:

Quote: is this for the CL purokon as well? The colour scheme seems to fit

Noo, you think I should submit this for it? :S
maybe I should, and If anything goes wrong I can pit my blame of failure on you :3 j/k

yay it works now! I think it was 'cause the server for the site wasn't working or something... thanks for the link, those are neat tricks... unfortunately though, my laptop doesn't have a numpad thingy =( ...

Mine doesn't either, but there should be a "numlock" key. If you press it you can use the keyboard as a pseudo numlock. The bold is what is typed and the non-bold is what key you press. ^^

Quote by MapleRoseYou mean like this? I dunno, it looks a bit too crowded widthwise =\

Well, I prefer this one though, but in order to give it more minimal, the current one is good enough.

Quote: oh yeah, throw this in the vexel gallery please ^^

Alright then

Quote by MapleRosehey you finally walled something! pwetty colours, and I like the composition ^^ nice painting and vectoring, though the outer edges of the dirt/ground thing look over-smudged =\

Yay, I walled something! Well, actually, it's just an old WIP, that I think worth an entry for the minimalism project.

Quote by MapleRoseholy crap the details! *-* I love the shading, and your choice of colours (with the 2 tones) ^__^
