Sorry for the overly simplistic card. I just realized I was late for a dinner appointment but I really wanted to make a card. Sorry I forgot to wish you Merry Christmas! I hope you had a great one anyway. Not much left to say except I hope next year will be even better than this one. See you next year!

Quote by KukuruI just have a general question about vectoring:
When you guys do outlines, do you use the pen tool just to draw straight lines, or do you use shapes to get different thickness in lines?

By the way - I love the work everyone puts up here - it's fantastic

I personally use shapes, but different things work for different people.

Hey - just saying thanks for answering

I always wondering because I see a lot of people's vectors and they have different shaped lines. At first I thought they just used the erase tool to makes likes thinner, but - when I tried that it just converted it to weird shapes. Then I thought perhaps that it was shapes - and it seems like for you it is

Wow - that must take you AGES!

Still, it looks good though - so I guess it's worth it in the end

Thanks again - and I look forward to your new work

Hey Hikari-chan, maybe you can help me out with the css in the clannad group X_x I got some problems.

Quote by ASH-HikariOmigosh! The awesomeness of Kitten-chan and erika-san, combined! I love this so much <3 It looks pretty good, and I know how annoying long hair can be. Great job! Clannad~~

ugh I don't want to see long hair for awhile =__=

Quote by jusuchin-corocoroah, you just finished this! finally...

A good vector i may say...detailed and while some lines are not applied, it still turns out great!

Nice one!

Glad you like it ^^
Some lines aren't applied? I forgot some? Oops. Which ones?
Anyways thanks for the comment and fave!

Ahaha, no problems...

I've noticed the ear of Sekai, and maybe some hair-lines? Maybe I'm wrong, but please enlighten me!

Ash-chan~!

p.s i like the song on your up. xD

Thanks for the fave on my wallpaper Lucky Star ~ Lovely in Lace ~ Izumi Konata, I'm glad you liked it!

Thanks for the fave on my vector :3
*pokes, hugs and runs*

Quote by ASH-Hikari
Well we'd love to have you
Just apply and you're in

lol I can't believe I forgot to apply

Quote by ASH-Hikari

And thank you so much for the card. You don't know how happy I was when I saw it. You're such a sweet friend

Quote by ASH-HikariKairi-chan! Glad to see some new work from you
Ah, depression. I had it too, for quite a while...but I've found my own way to deal with it, even if it isn't necessarily a healthy way. I hope you find the method to overcome yours as well.
Lovely vector~ The outlines are nice and straight and the colours are vibrant! Nice one to choose for your last of the year.
Happy New Year!

Thank you for the comment and fav too. Depression sucks I haven't had any patience to vector at all, though my biggest passion is drawing so, that's what I do to cheer myself up. And thanks, this X-mas break is really a lifesaver. I'm actually feeling better. Hope to get rid of this asap.

You watched Higurashi Kai's last ep too? It was really great. I loved the calendar part too! <33

Oh, and Happy New Year~

you are invited to join...

how could i not fave them thats the question

Quote by ASH-Hikari
Aw, come on, you deserved it
I'll get highlighted someday...someday...just probably not in 2007.
Yeah, 8 people...well the kimonos aren't as detailed as my recent vector. Some are even plain. So hopefully it won't take too long...
Am I alright? Not really

Quote by ASH-Hikari
Sorry for the late reply ^^' I'm really tired right now so excuse my short reply
True, and I hope they hire me there...
That's why I've always wanted a big walk-in closet. I would plaster every inch of it with anime stuff. Would be fun.
I don't know one letter of kanji (although once I randomly knew "ru").
Ah, Comiket...*dreams*
The anime store doesn't have much. Mostly DVDs and manga, and some figures and stuff. There are little knickknacks and keychains that might be interesting but it's not anything that important.
Walking in the dark is easy if you know the territory well
I used to draw like a maniac...all day I drew. I had tons of characters and storylines I'd made up...I forget most of them now, and I haven't drawn for a while.
And while I'm here...

I hope you enjoy your holidays ^_^

It's alright, I always respond late =]
I have a closet built into the wall, but it's filled with clothes ><. I'm currently trying to clean out my room to be able to put some stuff up, but...
I would take a Japanese course, but in 11 weeks you can only learn so much of a language...so I just watch subbed anime
Is there a Kinokuniya up in Canada? It's a Japanese bookstore, but it has a fair share of anime stuff. And .27mm pens =D. Not sure about figures though... I was looking online for some cheap stuff to buy and some of those anime keychains are so cute . Like Tsukasa's Keroro cellphone add-on thingy
You drew before you started vectoring? i try to keep all my stuff in a folder so I can look back and see how much I suck ><.
Thanks ^^. I also don't celebrate Christmas, but New Years is a big thing for Japanese. btw, why do anime girls always look so good in santa suits...? lah

oh yea...I finally got my figurines, and they look so awsome that I wanted to buy more. Then I realized I don't have any money. Until my next paycheck.....

Hi Ash-chan^^

on my Lelouch vector ~Charismatic Enigma~!
And thanks also for giving the link to the tutorial site
I really appreciate it!
See yah around! Take care always

Quote by ASH-Hikari
I've gotten back into vectoring a bit, thank goodness. Only a few days until New Years and I still have lots to do

I found episode 12 of Myself; Yourself pretty boring. There were a few good moments between Nanaka and Sana, but it's the 2nd last episode! They should be wrapping things up by now! We still don't know Nanaka's or Sana's backstory. And we need a follow-up on everyone else. And also, Nanaka said "daisuki" to Sana and it was such a...flat moment. But I guess I'll see how the last eppy goes.

Yeah, go for elite next time ^_^ Even though I know in my head that elite gallery doesn't mean that much, it always makes my day.

Oh, my computer space is full Well yesterday I was able to burn Higurashi to DVD and delete it, so that freed up some space. But I think it does slow down my computer. How many GBs does your comp have?

Oh, I haven't been "super duper" busy...I'm never that busy But yeah, there have been things going on lately. It should slow down now. All I have left I want to do is a bit more boxing day shopping. But I'll still do the screencaps; I know my explanation doesn't really make sense :P

Clannad 12 was great, but we have to wait 3 weeks for Clannad 13! What will I do! So long to wait...

Ah, well I'm kicking you out of my highlights now I still like your vector but it's time to update

A good example of gradients would be my School Days vector. I'm going to submit it right after this. Almost every layer had a gradient That is kinda how I relax. I'll get some food and watch some anime. Although I can't eat when watching Clannad; I'm too engrossed in the story

I don't celebrate Christmas but "holidays" can mean many things Now I gotta upload that vector, then get some sleep

Good job on getting back to vectoring! Good luck! New Year's is just around the corner! It'll take me a while to get back into vectoring. I can't get that much time into doing it since sister has her break as well, and she uses the comp whenever I feel like I might want to vector. So I've just been playing my DS that I've been addicted to, about 8 hours of play in a row, of course with breaks in between.

Well, I guess everyone has their own opinions on animes . Episode 13 was okay, I guess they did wrap up everything though, an okay ending for me. Although I don't always pay attention to the endings of animes.

My comp has about 144gb. I have about 25gb left over. I always leave it at 25gb since that seems to be the low point for me on my computer. If it gets any lower it seems that my computer starts to slow a little, I've no idea why. I don't burn my anime yet until it's complete and another one is complete to completely fill up a DVD cd. Since some animes are too small or too big, so gotta separate it into batches. How much GB does your computer have?

I'm a bit sad because I didn't buy anything for anyone for Christmas. All I was able to do was wish them happy holidays. What's 'boxing day shopping'? I'll be waiting for those screencaps, maybe when I get them I MIGHT get back into vectoring. I need some motivation . The hair still makes me mad/frustrated/annoyed/confused(my head just can't process it) from my second vector so I can't get back into it right away.

Clannad 12 was really good! What! Episode 13 in 3 weeks?!?! Clannad is one of my anime's to look forward to . I guess I'll just wait for it.

Thanks for putting me in your highlights for such a long time , that made me really happy. Seeing that I'm still a beginner and was able to make it into Sensei's highlights , a great honor for me!

You finally submitted the school days vector! Very nice! I already fav'ed and commented. Although I can't comment anything too elaborate or great. I still don't understand vectoring that much heh. The gradients look perfect for the hair! I should probably try it out! . I always eat when I watch anime, just a habit for me, so I don't waste time to other things I guess.

Oh, so you don't celebrate Christmas. Well as long as you're having fun or doing something else, it should be about the same anyway . All I had was a BBQ at a relative's house. I guess that's still Christmas? heh. I've been saying holidays to about everyone since I don't know if they celebrate Christmas or not . Whoa, so you're sleeping now and that would be 3 hours away.. so right now its 2 pm? woww! heh. Okay ja ne!

--EDIT-- 36 minutes later
Oh! I just wanted to recommend an anime to you! Since you liked Lucky Star, how much trying out Minami-ke when you have time. I feel it's hilarious to watch! Well just wanted to say that. Bye
