Quote by ASH-HikariWow, I have to say I love what you did with Sakura here! The dress looks awesome and really cute on her! The outlines of her hair are a bit jaggy but it doesn't matter much. Nice job! Oh, and the colours are great :)

Thank you so much! ^_^
I'm glad you like it!

Take care Ash-san~! XD

Quote: You know I never actually timed myself to see how long it takes me to reply...well I'll start now, at 3:43 PM.

I am wondering how long you will need to reply me=D Well, I will also stop the time. I start at 11:10 (is it pm or am? it is night. never get it)

Quote: Hm, I don't even remember what the first few episodes of Kanon were about (I should probably rewatch it sometime). But out of all the girls I know Mai and Shiori were my favourites. Makoto got on my nerves after a while near the end of her arc...but anyways.


I just like the art of the characters and when I watched Kanon I didn't like watching animes really since I have to watch, hear, read, and translating at the same time. I was overstrained. To get everything I watched some episodes twice but that was so boring. Maybe I should give Kanon a second chance if I find the episodes. I searched the whole day for Haruhi but just found some with spanish subs. Okay I can speak spanish a bit but that's too much for my spanish skills =D

Quote: I don't know if Fuuko's a ghost, but I'm afraid of what will happen to her, we can't have such sad things so early in the series! And Clannad will be 24 episodes.


Did you watch Clannad 5? I watched it today. I was so bored. The boyfriend of my sister sleep at my sisters apartment so I have to be at my own, cold apartment the whole day. I just watched animes. My eyes are hurting XD I really want to know more about Fuuko. She is so cute and the 5th episode was so funny...

Quote: While I'm waiting for new episodes of Clannad and Naruto, I've started watching Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. Only seen the first eppy. I get the feeling this'll be a violent series. I don't really like violence and stuff but I'm willing to watch most animes. I hope that despite the violence it'll be interesting.


If you don't like violence in animes, why do you watch Naruto =D? At this weekend I will try a lot of animes. Otherwise I will dying because of boredum. I started School days today since the art looks really nice but nyaa I don't know what to think about it. I am not used to those "normal day" animes. Iwill continue watching it tomorrow.

Quote: That's too bad...lol yeah, yay for presents. I love giving and getting presents, it's fun. It's just always weird around Christmas time when everything is so cheery and whatnot but you just don't feel cheery...but it's great for me because I buy all the snowflake decorations in the stores for my room :)

That's why I love easter. You get so many stuff with sheeps on it. Stuffed animals, glass with sheeps, everything with a sheep =D We didn't celebrate easter too. Actually we didn't celebrate anything .. =D

Quote: I love that piano version, although it makes me feel so depressed. No I don't play an instrument, but I used to play songs on my friend's piano. I was actually pretty good at figuring out how to play songs on my own (but those are really simple songs). I knew some harder ones but they took more practice. I just love piano, I really want one. Oh, and I used to play simple tunes on the flute for school.

My eyes really are hurting and I should take a rest. You wrote "I love that piano version, although it makes me feel so depressed." and I read "I love that piano version, BECAUSE it makes me feel so depressed." and I thought "WHAT? She likes to be depressed?" Everytime I feel sad I listen to this song. Don't know why because it also makes me depressed listen to it. In primary school I had a friend and she never had time to play because she had to learn playing piano, flute and fiddle. That's why I never want to learn any instrument. Now I regret this. So be glad you can "play" piano and flute =D

Quote: Everyday I check here, Animepaper, the "Anime Chronicles Scans Imageboard" and "moe.imouto" for scans, plus the image threads at the Animesuki forums, and there are quite a few other sites I know of that have scans. I've always been a big image hunter on the computer, I love finding rare images and things like that.

I have -41 papers at animepaper. I didn't really like this site. It needs so long to load any page. But in the moment I am trying to get more papers sinc ethere are so many nice scans I want to have =D I will try your sources one day =D First I want to do more vectors. Otherwise I am going to day. Yesterday I found so many other scans and ahh.. I saved them all and decide to vector them. I am hopeless =D

Quote: The thing is I'm half Indian, and the family of mine that I ever get to see are also Indian, and in India, well, clothes, jewellery, and all that stuff is a huge deal. So all my skirts are mostly gifts from relatives who went to India. My relatives like to dress me up and stuff...when I was younger I let them do it but now I think they're getting the message since I refuse to wear anything nice around them. Even when I have nice pants or shirts I just wear the same old when I go to see them. Once my grandma told me "next time you come, wear a skirt", so I ended up not going. When my grandma asked where I was my mom told her I didn't feel like wearing a skirt that day. And next time I went (wearing pants) I said "Oh, I didn't have a nice shirt to wear with it". So now they've moved on to bothering my younger cousin about how she looks, poor girl.


Okay in germany it is different but my oh my, my relatives are so conservative when it comes to clothes. I just don't get it. Me too, at the end I also never visit my relatives just my grandpa because he was different. Of course he wanted to see all his grandchild and great-grandchild in skirts. He was the only one who accepted that i am different from his other grandchildren. So I didn't get why my aunt is so serious about wearing proper cloth.

Quote: Yes, relatives can be very annoying...I don't really have a problem with mine because so far they don't have a problem with me (they blame all my flaws on my mom I guess) but they play a lot of games with each other. People will act nice to you but then not like you behind their back. I don't like fake things like that. If you don't like someone just darn tell them and get over it.


One of my aunts ( the sister of my father, she is alcoholic) told me one day that it is my and my sister sister fault that my dad died because we didn't told him that he was already grandfather. (I have a half-sister) We just find out that we are aunts AFTER my dad died but my aunt doesn't get it. She really was mean to me and since this night I didn't speak to her. A few days later I met her at the supermarket and she asked me if I am still angry about her and I didn't answer. My sister was so proud of me =D You know, after this night I had to go to the hospital because I had a light mental breakdown.
But you're right, if you don't like someone you have to tell him and not be a fake friend. But sometimes it is easier to be fake insead of being honest.

Quote: It's true, I don't like those userpages that are overflowing with so much stuff and take 5 years to load, but I think I'll become like that anyways


But you're userpage will look great even if it takes 5 years to load. What I don't like on userpages are those huge friendship pictures. Of course it is a nice idea but havethey be so big?

Quote: So expensive *sigh*. Oh I have 2nd CCS movie too (I have the first one too but it's English only). I refuse to buy DVDs without the Japanese version now because I always hate the dubs. Sometimes watching the anime that comes on TV in English hurts my ears XD Luckily most DVDs that come out now have both.

Unfortunatly xxxHolic didn't have the japanese version. When I find out that they will release xxxHolic this year I was so happy and now? I am so frustrated. And the price is just WOW! Each dvd (okay, there are 8 episodes on it) cost 50euros. I don't know how much this is in your currency. But 70euros are 100us-dollars right know.. I didn't even know what a currany they have in canada.But what I want to say: it is tooo expensive even for a german anime.

Quote: There's this really lovely manga scan of CCS I want to do but it looks hard. I've never done manga style vectors before. I guess I'll have to learn though if I want to vector Kobato. So much to vector...

Yehha manga scans are more difficult than anime scans that's why I always try to find some nice anime scans right now =D Or some easy manga scans. In my opinion the most difficult part of a manga scan is the hair since there aren't often outlines for it. If I am honest I think you will manage to vector a manga scan =D

Quote: Lol, well it is kinda cute how you wanted to cuddle them, just sad for the fish :P I would usually cry just a little when my fish died. Luckily I've never had one of my rabbits die so I haven't had to experience that. When we had the 4 baby bunnies we gave 2 away and let the other two go out in the country; I cried for that because I really loved them and wanted to keep my favourite one. We gave the mother away too to some people who raised a whole bunch of rabbits, but we heard later that she escaped. That made me smile because she was always a really wild, unfriendly kind of bunny. She belonged in the wild. (Hopefully she didn't get eaten by anything o_0).

You let the rabbits go out in the country? wow I could never do this because I live in the center of a huge city. And I could never give my pets away especially when there are babies like your rabbits. The bunny escaped? wow. The chinchilla we had always jumped on the door pull and escaped from its room. so we always have to lock the door. damn, animals are so clever don't you think so?

Quote: True...sheesh I've been doing, like, 10 minutes of vectoring a night lately, nothing's going to get done now...

I finally had worked on my vector todays moring. I finished the outline and started the coloring. I will get insane when it comes to the details because there are so many details..

Quote: Well I'll see how long it's been at the end :P A lot of people think I'm crazy but it's like "oh well, so what if I am" XD.

I think "I am not crazy, you are the crazy one" so people will not bother me any longer=D

Quote: Sometimes MT is SO SLOW for me, especially in the morning. It just doesn't move. Lately I've been pretty good with faving though, but before I always used to forget to fave things.
Luckily for me Naruto Cards are pretty popular here. I guess because it's an American company so we get similar stuff to the US. Pretty cards...

Maybe I should made a statistic at what times of the day mt is slow so that I didn't go at that time only. Maybe mt is always at the same time slow.
I asked a friend of mine if there are naruto cards available in germany and yes there are but they look so ugly. It looks like they extract some characters from a screenshot. They doesn't look really nice..

Quote: Yeah I'm not sure how a group works really...do you read the MT-Maigetsu? You know how you can ask it questions? Well I sent a PM asking about groups, so maybe they'll answer it in the next issue. True, I don't think it will be a really popular group, but I think these great animes need a group and making one for each of them would be a bit much (although I know Haruhi and Lucky Star already have one, not sure about the others). It would be fun to make a layout and host contests and things. I'll have to think about it more. But I do have a lot of time on my hands.


And what if the MT_Maigetsu will not answer it in there next issue? will they answer you by pm? I hope they will. You're right. Maintain one group will be easier than maintain 10 groups. And the one group will be popular like the 10 groups together. Since I start liking the animes from kyoani it would be nice to see a group for it. It really would be nice to maintain a group, to make the design, start contest et cetera. Tell me about it if you start a the group =D

Quote: Well now it's 4:23 PM. Which means it took, um...40 mins to reply. Wow, longer than I though! Time flies :)

So I am not the only one who needs so long to answer =D
I also stop the time now and it is (oh my gosh, I don't know how to write the english time) 12:17(still don't know if am or pm =D) so i need 67minutes. This time I wrote pretty fast and luckily I know almost all words I need so I don't have to search for the translation =D Time to go sleep know

(oh sorry for the late reply >_<)

You're welcome :)
I always look forward to your next works! <33

Quote by entity1660OMG Clannad! Yayyy! I love this anime. I love the leaves and Nigisa is so cute! <3 (Did I spell her name right? O.o)

Thanks entity-chan :D I love Clannad too! Lol, you almost spelled it right, it's "Nagisa" :P But thanks so much!

Wow, your vector looks amazing so far! You're so good at vectoring! And I haven't seen all of GSD either actually. When I saw that scene with Kira and Shinn I thought I would die. I was so scared for Kira! :D

Quote by entity1660Ashy, how does your banner change once a day? I wanna learn how to do that because I love making banners too! ><

Lol, actually I change it myself everyday XD I made a ton of versions of the banner, uploaded them all to Photobucket, and every morning I pick a new one :P I thought of making an animated one that changes itself though.

Wow, you have so much free time. I like your idea but I don't want to seem like I'm stealing from you. ^^;

Quote by ASH-Hikari*Is squealing* This is just so sweet! I'm actually a big AsuCaga fan and I adore this image to death!
It looks gorgeous! All of it looks gorgeous! The outlines, everything! Really great vectoring as usual!
Nice to give to Moon-chan :) I know she'll love it. But I think my fave part of this vector is the title. It's so simple yet so perfect, I love it.

thankies ;)
i was thinking a lot about the tittle, and ur beatiful was like great
outlines arent perfect at all cuz i was hurrying like crazy and they came out a little sleazy =( and i can never do shape outlines like urs ='(
lol anyway, thx for both coment and fave ;)

Thanks Omone-chan ;)


What a cute card. Thank you =D And you know, you're always welcome =D

Quote: I don't watch much TV either, just a few shows like you. And actually there are two soap operas I watch, even though I think soap operas are so ridiculous and boring. I watch them while I vector so it helps pass time


My sister loves watching soap operas and sicne she doesn't have an tv she always watch them at my home when I am at the pc and try to answer you =D Like I said I always need about 30-60minutes to answer you.

Quote: Clannad is really one of my faves so far. Probably because I'm a big fan of Kanon, which is so similar to it. I just loves these types of animes (although there are always some aspects that annoy me, but Clannad hasn't annoyed me yet). Aw, I love the girl with the stars too! She's Fuuko. She's so funny! I think she's going to have a sad ending though...


I just watched two episodes of Kanon and I didn't really like it. It was so boring and so silly. Hm, I cannot even remember the story =D Is Fuuko really a ghost? This would be sad. I really like her =D I think I will watch Clannad to the end. How many episodes does it have? Do you know it?

Quote: Wow, cooking for Christmas already? So early! Well like you said the cookies will be gone by Christmas XD I don't celebrate Christmas though, although I love that time of year! Snowflakes everywhere, everything is decorated with lights, it's all very pretty :) Lol I would probably make my mom bake and then I'd do all the decorating :P


I hate celebrating christmas for years. My father was always drunken at christmas and everybody went to bed crying. Now I just hate it but I love getting presents=D I am not selfish I also love making presents if I know what the person wish for.

Quote: I like Grief and Sorrow too, but my absolute fave will always be Sadness and Sorrow, piano version. I really wish I had a piano...Anyways I can't help but check all the new scans always (and there are, like, 5 sites I check) and so I often find scans even before they're posted here. Yeah, maybe I should get a life outside of vectoring too XD


Ah you're right.The piano version is even more better than the normal version. I have to search my naruto cd =D It has to be somewhere. Do you play any instrument? I cannot even read notes =D Where do you find you're scans? if you had 5 other sites. I didn't havy any specific site I search for scans. The scan find me =D

Quote: I climbed trees and was very active (and crazy; I would walk up the monkey bars with no hands and then flip off of it o_0) but I was very quiet and shy so I never fought with people. I rarely wore skirts though (just on picture day, usually). Now I never wear skirts, unless it's a long skirt and it's for a fancy occasion (like a wedding or something). My relatives are very into clothes and stuff so they hate how I always just wear pants and a sweater but I prefer to be comfortable.

Even at a wedding or funeral I wear jeans. I just own jeans, not a single skirt and I don't plan to buy one. Don't get me wrong, I look proper at those arrangements. My relatives hate that but I doesn't care. Our relatives hate us because my mother didn't married my father, but have 2 childs with him. Relatives are so annoying.

Quote: Thanks :D I hope it will be awesome :P I get so excited over these things XD I plan on adding more content to my page too, a "personal highlight" section and a "freebies" section, and some other stuff. Just designing the layout will bother me, I know I won't like it at first but I'll get used to it, like I did with this one.

Aw, that's a cute scene :D I really should make a dango wall. It'll be reaaallly simple though if I do.

Of course it will be awesome. I also thought of expanding my userpage content but I don't know how. And I don't want to much content. Maybe I will think about it when the vector series is over =D

Quote: It's fun to own things (especially anime things), which is why I've started collecting DVDs...unfortunately DVDs are a very expensive thing to collect -_- Lol, so I can't buy too many. Why don't I collect mangas? They're $20 cheaper! Heh, oh well XD


I also like to collect dvd's Unfortunatly anime dvd's are so expansive.. So I just own the two ccs movies on dvd. Some of the anime dvd's didn't even have the japanese seiyuu's on it. Hate it hate it hate it!

Quote: Aw thanks :D Well I don't think I'll lose interest anytime soon ^_^ I was looking through all my pictures for the November contest, I thought maybe I could do Sakura/Syaoran from CCS, since there are some cute winter pics of them. I don't have an idea for a background though...
For December I want to do a Kobato wall, but the picture I choose seems difficult to vector, I don't know if I can do it o_0
Well aim to enter at least one of the contests, I want to see you in there participating! XD


Also also had some sakura shaoran pictures in mind for the november contest but they all are manga scans and I already fail to vector sakura's manga style hair so I will not try it again =D Kobato looks so great but soo difficult at the same time. You just know if you can do it if you try it. In my opinion you can do it. You already vectored difficult looking images.

Quote: I don't like dogs as much. I mean I don't have a problem with them and there are a lot of cute ones, but I don't want one. I love cats though, but I'm allergic to furry animals so having one is a problem. Lol, you cuddled your fish? "Unfortunatly fishes die when there are not in water for a long time. how should i know this" I'm sorry, but that's really funny XD Lol all my fish died too when I was small, though it wasn't because I tried to cuddle them XD That's so cute :D You had a lot of pets, but that's good. When I was young I just had fish, then when I was 10 it was all bunnies, and now it's both. Yeah poor kitty was chased away by the neighbour's cat. I hope that wherever she ended up she was alright.


You are the first one who said that killing my fishes is cute. Yehaa I had a lot of pets but it was always so sad when they died. I hate it and cried about two days. Okay not because of the fishes, but when the rodents died.

Quote: Okay, but if you try my method there's something you should know, I just don't know how to explain it...well if you end up with hundreds of layers when doing the outline let me know.
Well you can always take a break between each scan :D


Yehaa but if I take a break after each xxxholic scan I will never finish them. I don't want to vector xxxholic n the next year XD
Okay I will told you if I had this problem. Like I said first I had to finish the other vector and I haven't worked on it a 3 days.

Quote: Yeah me too, even if it takes a few minutes :D

Meanwhile it takes an hour to answer you =D My sister says I am crazy XD

Quote: Your welcome for the faves (I believe there's a lot more in your gallery I should fave, I just haven't gotten to it yet :P).
It's funny, I buy so many Naruto cards just because I want the pretty pictures. I have a list of the cards I want and what series of Cards they're in, and I check them off when I get them. My list is still very long though. Especially since a new series just came out, and there's a card with both Sasuke and Sakura that I'm dying for, but it's a rare card...

I also think I havn't faved all your vectors I like. Sometime sMT is really slow and sometimes it is even slower. So sometimes I forget to fave all the workes I want to fav. I didn't even know if these naruto cards are available in germany. I never saw them but I didn't even searched for them.

Quote: And I was thinking of starting a group here at MT, for KyoAni fans (fans of the series produced by Kyoto Animation, i.e. Air, Kanon, Clannad, Haruhi, and Lucky Star). Do you think it's a good idea that I could pull off? It just sounds really fun :D

I don't know if you need a specific topic for a group or what conditions there are to open a new group. But I like your idea. I don't know if the group will be popular or so active but I would try it if you like the animes from kyoani. I will also start watching haruhi at the weekend I think. I hope I can watch it =D

Sorry I didn't wait until you came online, I had to go on early today.
As you said I already know what you think so thanks :)
And thanks for faving even though I didn't fave you! Lol XD
No special card today, just a boring one :P

oh ur welcome XD
and the card is nice ;)

Quote: Yeah, and it always seems at first that they've made the best graphics possible, then a year later suddenly they've made it even better. I wonder what the limit is? Soon they won't be able to get any better...maybe?


Now like you say it, there really have to be a limit for the graphics. Or they develop a new video game console which will definetly cost double like the ps3.. I wonder how expensive games/v-g-consoles can be?!

Quote: Well we were young and we all did it; plus sliding down like that was the only way to do it without breaking your neck XD
Oh yeah, I love the "crunch crunch" :D It snowed here yesterday! Well it was only for a miniute, and the flakes were barely visible so it doesn't even count, but it means real snow is coming! All this talk about snow makes me excited for my userpage transformation to my snowy layout! But that won't be until December.


No, I never did it cause I always thought "Ah. this will hurt! I don't want to do it!" I was and I am still anxious about hurting me. HAHA I am such a, oh, I don't know the english word, is it wimp?
Really it snowed?Okay I mean you live in canada. It would be strange it is snowing here in germany. this would be really rare =D Why don't you want to change your userpage earlier? I am thinking about changing my userpage. I don't really like it. And I vectored those dango's fro the clannad ending for my sister.. maybe I will used it =D

Quote: All my mangas are fairly new, so they're still in good shape. My first one was Fruits Basket Vol. 1. The only other I have are Chobits, Tsubasa, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Gundam Seed Destiny, all Vol. 1 :P

And I thought I haven't so much mangas since all my "manga anime" friends had more than me =D I have around 100 mangas XD I hate white manga covers since after a time they look yellow.. =(

Quote: Makes me wish again that I had a sister. Everyone seems to have one! Lol.
You don't mean the Wings-Lovers October contest do you!? I hope you mean November. Making a wall in 2 days would be hard! But I don't know what to do for November. Winter Romance? A couple in the snow. Hm...I'll have to think about that.
I just looked at my folder, and there are currently 62 scans to be vectored. And that's not all of them. Plus the last few days some nice scans came in...it never stops! We have our work cut out for us, it seems.


Not every sister is like mine. My friends sister just beat my friend and treat her like trash.
No, of course I mean the november contest. I could never do a wallpaper in 2 days. You know how slow I am. I think I will have problems to create a winter landscape for the november contest.
If I would chose every scn I like I would have over 200 scans but I am glad most of them were too difficult me =D

Quote: I chose a Japanese name for my fish XD He's Haruki-kun XD
I don't think I want a child either. I mean I like children, I just don't plan to have one (don't tell my dad though! He'll kill me!). But if I did, maybe I could name it something like "Hana" for a girl. It sounds normal in English and it's a Japanese name :P I just adore the name "Sakura" though...and "Hikari", of course...


What a cute name for your fish. I never thought of giving my rats japanese names. Hana would be a good name, hehe if your child don't want to have a japanese name you can say: "hey it is just a normal name" I ahve to remember it=D

Quote: Lol :D Yeah I used to sleep in class and the teachers thought I was so good because I didn't talk XD Just the lectures and lessons are so boring!
I get bored of TV fast, so when I'm done with it I listen to music. Sometimes I can listen to the same song for hours, and sometimes I'll just go through my whole playlist.
Aw, that's cute about your rats XD I have a bunny, he doesn't usually like that either XD


I also have a few songs I like listen to it continuously. But most of the time I get very fast bored of a song. Just like it two or three times and after that I start hating it..
Ah, so you also have a bunny. Any other pets you have? I just love rodents. If it would be possible for me I would like to have something like a "animal shelter" just for rodents.

Quote: Oh, fill path, a lot of people say it's the easiest, plus it has a nice result. I only use shape layers because I like the fact that I can go back and adjust things if I feel like.
Yeah a lot of scans like CLAMP or Carnelian have the varying lines, and thin outlines seem to work :)

I have to find a vector tutorial for vectoring outlines with shape layers since your outlines are just adorable =d they always looks very neat and so on.

AH, damn "House MD" is about to start and I havn't answer everything. I will answer the rest tomorrow. I hope you don't mind.

I finally get up =D It is already about 11 o'clock here. I am sorry I couldn't answer everything from you yesterday. I don't really need a tv only for "house md" and "navy ncis" I just love this two tv series. hehe =D

I watched clannad the last days. I don't know what to think about this anime. It is neither good nor bad. But I like the little girl which loves stars. She is funny. =D

My sister and I started baking cookies yesterday for christmas. We always bake around halloween. Unfortunatly al the cookies will be eaten when christmas is coming. Today we will decorate all the cookies. Okay my sister and my mother will decorate the cookies. I didn't really like baking and the othe stuffs =D

Quote: I really do love it :D Thanks so much again!
Yeah they always play that song at the sad parts, which makes the song even sadder to listen to.
*Sigh* A bunch of awesome new scans came in for me today...it never ends!


But there is also another "sad song" which they play in those scenes. I think it is called "grief and sorrow". I like it =D I am not looking for new scans until I finish at least, hu? I don't know, 10 vectors. Otherwise I am overstrained. I want to have an other life beside vectoring XDD

Quote: Who knows o_0 But people are going to have to be crazy to buy it!


Yes, you're right. There are everytime some silly people who spend milions of money for games et cetera.

Quote: I was a wimp in some ways (plus I was a crybaby kid) but I never really noticed if sliding down hurt or not. I was just having fun :P
Well my new plan was to change my userpage on the first day of every season, so my winter layout was planned for late December. But that does seem far off...I don't know. Plus theres a pic I have to vector for it, though it shouldn't take too long.
Aw, I love those dangos! They are the cutest thing ever! I was going to wall them actually. But if you did end up making a layout with them I would love to see it!


I was the complete opposite of my sister when I was young. I never climb trees or fight with other girls. But my sister always fight with boys and climb on trees et cetera. She was more a boy than a girl and i was a very girlsh. I always wanted to wear skirts. Nowadays it is the opposite. my sister wears skirts and I behave more than a boy =D
I am looking forward to seeing your new up-skin. It will look awesome like your current skin =D
Yehaa I vector the scene when those dango's looking into the moon. I hope I will be able to make a skin out of it.

Quote: Wow, 100 mangas! I just recently discovered that they actually have mangas here, so that's why I only have a few. Plus they're expensive. Although if/when the Kobato mangas start coming out I think I'm going to buy those...


I bought a few years ago a lot of mangas. I always found a new manga series I like and spend so much money on them. Now I just want to finish xxxHolic and tsubasa. I don't know if I will start a new series after those two.

Quote: You're right, not all sisters are going to be nice like that, but still.
Okay :D Well I look forward to seeing what you choose for the contest. I'm still thinking about it. A couple...in the snow...with wings? Nothing comes to mind. Luckily I have a plan for the December contest.
Aw, too difficult for you? I'm sure you could do them. But as you said, you would have 200+ scans that way so I guess it's a good thing...I just tell myself that I have my whole life to vector. Although who knows how long I'll be interested in vectoring or how long my life will be :P


I am also looking forward what scan I chose. Maybe I also have to skip this contest. Damn. I didn't have an idea for the december contest. or maybe I have one. I don't know. I have to wait if I can move or not. No I have my limits in vectoring and I am happy I know them. I hope you never lose your interest in vectroing since you always do so beautiful vectors =D

Quote: Thanks :D Yeah I actually researched to find a good name for him. At first when I saw "Haruki" I thought it was a girl's name but it said male. And it means "shining" or something, and he was a very shiny fish (now not so much, he's been sick a few times).
There was this one time when we were babysitting these kittens, and we were possibly going to keep them so I named them "neko" and "miko" even though they already had names. I don't know why "miko" since it doesn't make sense, but it sounds cute :P
Yeah, Hana is a good way around the rule >:D I have to find more names like that!


If you find more names like "hana" tell me =D I like that all the japanese names have a meaning. I mean the european names also have a meaning but just someing like "god bless you" and something lik e that. When I first get my rats both were white and had a darker gray on there fur and know one of the rats is pure white and the other one has still a light gray on it. They got old so they got more white fur.. hehe=D ther grandpa's XD

Quote: For me there are just some songs that I can never get tired of =D
No, I just have a bunny and my betta fish, and two tiny fish. My mom also has a betta fish and two tiny fish. We used to have a cat but she ran away, unfortunately (and she was so gorgeous!). And a long time ago we had another rabbit, but then the 2 rabbits had babies...
Yeah, there should be a place just for rodents and small animals. All people ever talk about when it comes to pets are dogs and cats. I have no problem with dogs or cats but there are other pets too!


I don't like dogs and cats really but I don't hate them. I just prefer rodents =D We had so many pets. Some fishes (but I killed them. I was too young and I want to cuddel them. Unfortunatly fishes die when there are not in water for a long time. how should i know this), a bird, a chinchilla, 4 guineapigs (they were so cute) and 4 mice. Babies are so sweet. I always hope one of my mice are male but they all were female... Oh, that's sad that your cat ran away.

Quote: Well if you're interested, I learned how to vector from this tutorial. Two methods are given here but make sure to follow method two: shapes. I think it's very similar to fill path so it shouldn't be hard for you :) Lol, my outlines are adorable? Thanks :D


I will try your method with the next vector since I already started another one with the fill path method. If I finish this xxxholic scan I finally did the half of what I want to do =D Why the hell did I chose 10 scans for my vector project. I was insane =( I don't want to make so many vectors in a row..

Quote: That's okay :D Oh wait...I just gave you more to reply to, didn't I?


Yes you did, but that's okay =D I like reply to your entries...

Quote by ASH-HikariHm? How come I never commented on this before? This is one of my favourite pics of Sakura! (The image is from a trading card actually...I'm working hard to get that card, along with a few other really nice ones :P).


I didn't have any trading cards. But you're right. This really is one of the best sakura pictures. Too bad I vectored it at the beginning of my "vector career".. And thanks for you favs on "Blossom with hidden strength" and "What about being EXOTIQUE just once?" =D

Quote by YoruAngel866hi what's up?

Sorry for this late reply ^_^' Actually not much is going on with me, just trying to make my lazy self do some vectoring. How about you?

merged: 10-30-2007 ~ 12:07am
Oh, cool song you have on your site by the way :)


i'm good too,tommorow i have a break of 2 days...
song is from tsubasa chronicle and it's called "a song of storm and fire"

Quote: I know, the improvement is amazing. But it's funny how even with the difference in graphics, pixel games and those new games can be just as fun XD


Yehaa you're so right. And I am curious how the game graphics will change in the future. Maybe there will be an improvement with the wii so more interactive gaming..? Don't know!

Quote: Oh, hills are no good! At least when going up anyways. The way down I would just sit and slide down XD I was crazy like that. I used to walk to and from school too, I would always end up late because I would walk through all the big snow banks :P


I had more problems with going down the hill since I don't want to slide down the hill on my ass=D I like going through fresh falling snow. I love the sound it makes..

Quote: Yeah, mangas are expensive, I only have a few. I like owning them but then I have trouble reading them because I'm always trying so hard not to bend the book.


You should see one of my first mangas. They look so ugly but they are over 10 years old so my oh my. I was a child when I get my first mangas. It was sailormoon =D what was your first manga?

Quote: Aw, that was nice :) They must be hard to use though.
Yeah I guess it is kinda cheating, but if you have no other ideas then it still works :)
Tell me about it! I just recently made a folder to put all the scans I want to vector and it's so full, plus almost everyday a new one pops up x_x


Yes, my sister is always nice. When one of my pets died she always tried to cheer me up. When I was young she was like my mother since my mother had to work. We really have a good relationship and I am happy about it. Anyways, maybe I will try the graphictablet another time..
I should start searching for a picture for the contest. Otherwise I will not finish it in time..
Same like me. Yesterday I Pput all my pictures from my pc to my sister ones and there are about 50 pictures at the moment. Damn! I will never make so many vectors.. Have to make something like a top ten..

Quote: Ah...don't tempt me...I love those names...hehe >:D My relatives would be like WTH?


My sister expect that I chose a japanese name for my child. I don't know what name I chose for my child. I never really thought about it since I don't want any child..

Quote: True. I find it easier if I watch something on TV at the same time. I can listen to it while I'm vectoring and also I glance at the screen every now and then to give my eyes a break. My eyes used to really hurt as well but since I got my new glasses I've been okay.


I also where glasses but staring at the monitor a long time still gives me a headache. I don't know why. I cannot concentrate for so long. Especially in school butI didn't want to concentrate there =D hehe
I listen to music when I am vectoring. To all kind of music. After a while I cuudle with my rats. But they don't like it.

Quote: What do you mean it doesn't look like Sakura? It looks just like Sakura! And the eyes look really nice to me, even better then the original screenshot! The only thing I can say is maybe that part of her hair on the left looks a bit too long. Although the original is like that so it's probably just me. It's looks great though! I would be really happy if you finished it :)


Sure? Do you really think it looks like Sakura. Great =D I already made a wallpaper out of the scan and maybe I can submit it after reply your entry =D Like I said I already need 30 minutes to answer your entry. And I didn't finish at all..

Quote: This reminds me, I wanted to ask you what method you use for outlining. Because the advice I gave you last time works for the shape layers or fill path method.
But for your question, I would say make it thin. Or you could do the varying thickiness, but make it thinner than the original. I used to just make my outlines as thick as the scan. But everyone likes thinner outlines now so I just make them thin, regardless of what the scan looks like.


I use the fill path method for outlining ant colouring. I didn't even know how the one with the shape layers is working. Which method is easier? Okay I will look if just thin outlines looks good on this scan since it is CLAMP and they sometimes had a varying thickness.. Thanks for your answer =D

Quote by ASH-HikariOh my gosh you posted it! And I didn't know you vectored both screenshots! And I love the way you put them together with the text in the middle! Kya, I'm totally having a fangirl moment! This is going straight to my desktop!
Perfect name for it by the way! That's my fave music from the Naruto OSTs, the only one I listen to. Plus it was playing in that scene. Your outlines look perfectly smooth! And the text in the background with the varying sizes is perfect!
Do I like it? No, I love it to death! XD Seriously I love you for this, thank you so much! *Hugs*


Yehaa, first I just vectored one screenshot but it looks kinda boring.. anyways I am really glad you like it =D Really, really glad.. I was afraid if yo like it or not =D hehe
Ha, I love the song, too=D It always rememeber me Sasuke's "death" Don't know why..

Quote by ASH-HikariNice vector! Your lines are very thin, do you use Illustrator? The colours look good, except for the darkest part of Sakura's hair (looks a bit green).
Sola is love <3 I look forward to that!

Thank you very much for the comment and favorite! I'm sorry I couldn't make a thank you card T_T But I do appreciate your nice words!
I don't use Illustrator, just Photoshop, but I changed the brush size to only 1. I think this is the thinnest line I've ever done :o
I look forward to vectoring that scan as well, if I can mobilize enough for it XD
Thank you again and hope you have a great day! <3
P.S. Your userpage is very lovely ;)

Quote by ASH-Hikari
Wow, your outlines are very thin for Photoshop, 1pt. is so small! It's harder to colour when the outline is so small though, huh?
Can I ask which Sola scan you're considering vectorng? I'm curious, especially since there have been quite a few nice ones lately :) I plan on doing a few more Sola works myself, later on.

Yes, it's a pain to color with so thin outlines X-P I have to do it at 300% sometimes even at 400% and PS freezes a lot. But I guess it's worth it, I'm a bit obsessed with how thick they are XD
I've thought of vectoring this one. I saw it in the gallery a few days ago and liked it :) Though, seeing how big and detailed it is, I'll probably end up begging to be killed by the time I get half of it done!
(Note: I'm still in shock from losing an almost vectored Carnelian image T_T )

Quote by ASH-HikariSorry ^_^' No, I meant on Photoshop, do you trace the lines with the pen tool, and then say "stroke path"? It's just one of the methods of vectoring. It's not my fave but there's nothing wrong with it. And judging from your vector you're actually pretty good at it! (A lot of vectors using that method have too many bent lines). Well sorry if I'm wrong OX

Ahhhh yeah got ya. The line path *nods* sorry stupidity moment. I have only ever done one without the stroke which was back on the days when I had an assignment when I was learning to use Freehand. I like the definition of the stroke but it takes a well drawn picture to remove it where those boundaries are. Using matching colour strokes is good too but I still haven't got to take that step yet mostly because Im worried how it will turn out but the thought is definatley there. You are quite a vector master, its good to get a tip like that from you *bows*
