It seems like I've seen you promoted as a mod in real time... one minute I check
Elite-Members Group and we're all italics, next minute you're shiny gold!
Congratulations MapleRose, it's something you really deserved
Quote by gaara-no-shukakuLol, I
really expect this to be from Maplerose! You know, that usual reason..
Very neat as always. Btw, she's likely turned into another pop star in GS.
Lol, not every Murrue vector is mine you know... but er, I
am vectoring this actually >___< ... um, you don't mind if I post mine too
do you (whenever I decide to finish it that is... >__>)?
Nice vector, how do you get the lines so thin? Do you use fill-path or
stroke-path?
>___< I blame the artist... for some reason, they don't draw her with an
undershirt or something >___> It's like that for the pic from the 1st/2nd
GS ending too >__> ...
I don't mind if you vector this too. ^_^ And I know, she is amazingly not
wearing anything underneath, it is so weird...O.o
As for my lines, I use fill path but it takes me forever to get them so thin
because I like to make my lines so perfect. Well...maybe too perfect...=_=;;
Is this "Desire" like a spin-off the original Edge manga or
something?
Aw.... I wanted to see the Rey pic... wait, is it the one of Rey as a kid? I
think I've seen a small pic of it...
Thanks for sharing! You're so lucky to be able to get these RGB and Edge
scans... I want to read the Edge 'cause I love the art style... but I can't read
Japanese >__> ... Hopefully one day some English company will license and
translated it ....
I love "The Edge" art too.
"The Edge: Desire" focuses on the characters who are closely related
to Athrun, so in the book, there's Shinn, Cagalli (of course), Rey and Meer. So
yeah, sort of a spin-off.
I think I know which kid Rey pic you mean. The quality is not so awesome, but
here they are:
In the first one, I can't get the book to bend enough for a proper scan. And in
the second, there is the price tag I mentioned.
No problem! I can't read Japanese either, but there are the Taiwanese ones...if
you can read Mandarin, that is.
Thanks for the favs!

Oh! Thanks for proposing that my scan be highlighted! Hadn't noticed it till
now.
You're spoiling me, MapleRose! And I'm loving it
Thank you so much for proposing the highlight. I really do feel very flattered
and honoured.
Quote by MapleRoseBut my favourite part
is how you treated hair and painted her in general, how it's neat and clean but
the outlines look almost penciled or inked (did you use tablet for the outlines
or the pen tool?); it kinda reminds me of Alphonse Mucha
^__^
Tablet and photoshop brushes with texture and scattering turned on. I was trying
to make it look like it wasn't done digitally as much as possible - one of the
main attractions of having a tablet. ^_^
Quote by MapleRoseFor the colouring
(like on her clothes), it looks like you have textures, did you actually use
textures, or are those brush-strokes? I think you could add some textures or
colour variation for the background instead of just a solid colour and make
it... rougher, to fit Nodame..
They're brush strokes, or rather, 'eraser strokes' set on a low opacity, with a
little burn tool thrown in.
Quote by MapleRoseoh yeah, your
handwriting isn't messy.. at least it's the same size
*Laughs* Yeah, except that it's only the same size because every character was
edited to make them uniform when I turned them into a font. Trust me, I have
seriously messy handwriting!
Oh, and on a separate note - POpUlaR-cHaN is so funny! Great work.
Quote by MapleRoseHow do you make your
lines so thin?! Like the eyelashes, they look so delicate >__< do you work
really big and then scale down or something?
Forgot to reply to this one.
I worked with 1920x1200 size, then I felt like submitting smaller size. I think
that makes the lines quite thin.
Rele, in my opinion I guess I thought of it more as a vector-wall due to the
outlines and its a wallpaper? Wait a sec, I might've messed up hold on a sec.
**is a bad mod**
I was hoping if maybe you could delete this thread? I'm going to do a redo for
voting unless you have another suggestion then I'll most likely take it.
Quote by MapleRosenice job on the skin
and lips, I like the layers of transition. Kinda wish the eyes (irises) have the
same amount of layers (instead of just two) though, 'cause it sticks out too
much. But maybe that's why it looks so creepy like a "nightmare"
wow.... a comment from maplerose... that doesnt happen to me often
thanks for the comment
idk... i thought about putting more shades in her eyes but then i was like oh it
looks good even now
Quote by MapleRoseI've sorta started a
vexel already anyway (of a person though, is your project gonna focus on animes
only?)
No specific theme. Doesn't matter anime or non-anime, all acceptable.
Quote by MapleRose
so, is your project ready to go yet? ie can it be advertised in the next issue
of MTM? (it's scheduled to hit MT in 5 days)
w00t, it's out! Advertise it, yeah. Should I PM MTM? cause I'm lazy..

Quote by MapleRosefirst of all, use the
[IMG]url of image[/IMG] to make your banner show up as an image and make it all
prettiful.
I did put that code, but combining with link to
the website. Damn, I'm no good at this code thing. DX
Quote by MapleRose
second of all, er, that definition is rather... complicated (what does
"neologism and portmanteau" mean? O__o ), and people might get
confused.... My definition of vexel is shading using vector shapes instead of
brushes, usually very detailed shading (ie multiple layers). Gradients and
textures are fair game.
I know the defintion is rather
complicated, but I'm afraid to jump on conclusion on what vexel really is. So,
it's quite safer to put Wiki's definition. Should I put my own definition? =S
And I feel like putting your definition in the website, is that okay?

Quote by MapleRosehey, what happened to
your signature?
I love changing my lame signatures, so yeah,
that always happen actually.
Quote by MapleRose
@Vectory's gallery: Eheh, I guess that's the thing with not putting them up in
order (hey, it looks more interesting that way), but the oldest is
"Travellers", then "Karma Star", then "Rain
Maker", then "Spread Your Wings", then "refreshingly
soft", then "smile for me everyone", then "cool of
summer" then "breakaway". phew. if it's easier for you, you can
put them in some sort of order. I just try to remember, and then look at the
messages if I'm not sure. Or you can put some sort of note somewhere in the code
or something
Whoa, you can remember all that? I like if
there're notes somewhere in the code.
hey maple whats up, i was wondering if you had a extracted scan or png of Romeo
x Juliet so i can make a layout for the group page since i haven't gotten any
yet

Sorry, I haven't extracted anything of RxJ yet... What about just using the
background that's already in the scan (and fade it or add to it or
something)?
Welcome to the dark side >D
What gallery section are you a mod of? Let me know and I'll put you on the gallery page.
Wow MapleRose congratulations on your promotion!
You got the power now! *throws confetti*
I'm sure you'll do an excellent job
Oh my, I just saw your name in gold letters! Congrats on becoming a mod!
I was planning on being the first to congratulate you, but I guess I was too late. Oh well. Congratulations.

Thanx a bunch for proposing the highlight. I <3 you - more.

Thanx! I'll do my best. ^_^ Please give supports and advices if possible.
I reckon it'd be to rescue Stellar, or so it seems. Because naughty doggie is plaguing the poor kitty. Also the two girls pwned Shinn in another pic.
I love "The Edge" art too.
