Quote by Ephemeral-GardenHi there Chloe-chan! *waves* XD Random spamming~ >__<

So how are you doing? It must be busy being the moderator, but I'm sure you'll do great. :)

By the way, I just wanted to ask you a question.. hmm.. you mentioned before that you used a tablet to paint clouds right? What kind of tablet you have? Coz I was thinking of buying one, but then I'm not sure what brand or what size is enough especially if I want to use it to paint or drawing doujinshis. Ever since I first saw Gintama I just kinda got hooked up, the table's full of their fanarts. XD


Hi hi!
I have a Wacom tablet. Size is... 5x6? 4x5? something along those lines, I can't find my booklet XD
But it's definitely worth it if you like to paint digitally; using the pen is so much easier than a mouse D:

Eat huh.. hhmm... well, not much. We didn't have turkey either this year. But then that's a plus for me. :nya: Drink huh? Aahahha, I did have some liquor but I couldn't last any longer. Weirdly it has this strange taste, is that how they are supposed to taste like? :\ I was especting something sweet-like. >_<

Errr... Well, I mean, apparel wise. Not the inside. *coughscoughs* You like red don't you? Then maybe you can try wearing all red, and I'll try wearing all blue. :D Hm, hold on. I used to wear everything blue last time. ;)


Hahaha... of course it's not sweet-like. It really tastes like that, well, according to what you drink. What did you drank anyway?

Hmm... I dunno if I can do that but I'll try. ^_^'

Jyuunishi? That's the 12 animal signs in Chinese calendar right? These look adorable. XD

Thankss, and yep about 12 animal signs! Happy year of the rat XD

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenNice job on the clouds, Chloe-chan! Lovely indeed. How did you do that? With tablet?

The overall effect is stunning, everything blends and the whole wall just feel so natural. Although the type is not necessary. :) Nice work.


Thanks a bunch for the comment!
Yup, the clouds were done using stock, my trusty tablet and the awesome tutorial by Candy-chan =)
Also, I've added a link to a textless version. I only added text 'cause it seemed rather empty to me.
Thanks again!

They actually changed our roster for the first year and gave up Christmas off and New Years Day :O I was so shocked espcially since we are a 24/7 call centre so it was just a quiet one at home with family n stuff and Illustrator heheheh what a way to spend Christmas

I actually went DA stalking and found misa and kiru and regen I was like :O Ive been missing out hehehehehehhe

:D

That's really good for you. They let you spend some quality time with Illustrator at that. >___< So what did u get for Christmas? I bet it must be something very interesting. :)

Yeap yeap, misa and kiru is there alright. I just realised kiru was in DA only just last week. >____< Begin the stalking!

By the way Evo, Happy Year 2008!

Mwahahahah stalking rocks! I didnt get much, just some money and a really sweet snow globe from my friend in the US because I can't get snow here <3 My sister's present hasnt arrived cause its on back order but she said its large and I fan girl over it and its old school and also really expensive so I think she got my a Voltron model ohhhhhhhhhh I so hope so *bounces*

And yourself? anything fun and exciting?

Gah, that's good enough. :) Hm? There's no snow in Australia? Whoa, Voltron!? You serious?

Nah, didn't get much other than new clothes. ~_~ Gah. Sad Christmas. Was expecting something like sony ericsson w850i. I've been having insomnia just by the thought of that, lol.

Yeah no snow... well at least in Western Australia. In winter Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania get it but there is no love here for snow.

You should have left a bigger note for them. Something like GIVE ME A FRICKIN PHONE... love ya XD

Yeah.. Boring Christmas I must say. No wonder I just had this "not-looking forward for anything special" feeling coming underway a while ago. -_-

HAPPY YEAR 2008! >_<

Lols. That's a funny way to put it. Maybe you should try that sometimes, and take photos of yourself so I can actually "see" Akai burning in red, yay!


Errr... I guess you still got the chance to eat some food you really want to eat, ne? Or even drink... you know, since you're already legal, ehehehe!

YEAH YEAH YEAH! Hope this year's better than the last!

You want ME to do that? Hmm... >_> <_< I'll think about it... *whistles*

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenWow, nice title. :)

Awesome crazy vector of Ichigo. It's very neat and Ichigo is just sexy here. You vectored in Illustrator I guess? Not a fan of the colour red but interesting colours will always catch attention. XD Red and Grey are love. ^^ Great use of splatters. :)


I do everything in Photoshop. I never had the time (or patience) to learn Illustrator :x
Thanks for the comment!

Ah, you caught me. XD Christmas huh? Nothing special. Just slacking at home. No presents this year either. What about you? Should be an ALL RED AKAI CHRISTMAS! Right? ;)


Hahaha... slacking at home. LOL! XD

Unfortunately... I'm not in all red. I mean, the upper clothing is the only red for me, hehehe! Not even my undergarments, LOL! Anyways, Happy New Year to you! ;)

Hi enchant! *waves* It really has been a long time? How are you?

Hm, well, Ginban Kaleidoscope... everybody has their own opinion. ^_^' The ending is kinda sad, that I admit. Well, maybe your friend has different POV about the anime. I don't particularly like this kind of anime, hahaha. *scratches head* But anyway, you can go and check it out as well. And tell me what do you think too. :)

*waves back like a rabid fan* XD Oh I'm doing fine, gonna take my SPM next year. The horror x_x And I haven't been studying hard or anything. Gahh. How about you? Attending college? Or maybe Uni perhaps? :)

My friend told me that the girl didn't get to say that she likes him to the boy. Right? Meh, I have to catch it on Animax sometime, if they're still replaying it. I haven't watched TV for a very long time, only watching animes downloaded from the net ^^

Its Christmas today btw! Merry Christmas ! :D

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenOwh? You can actually change the precentage of a programme's usage? Hm, never actually heard of that but basically it just takes lesser space in the RAM, is that it? Hmm.. *touches chin* Maybe I should do that with the pc soon. :)

Australian's buildings are mixed? Interesting. It's just that few weeks ago students from the Architecture class were really busy doing research in the lab and the photocopy machine was full of Rococo, Bauhaus texts the words just sip into our brain. But owh, I have to agree that architecture can be very interesting. ^^

Yeap, I do know why they ask those kind of questions but it really pisses me off the fact that they even made the peace sign after that. ~_~ They're really testing our communication skills and how much research we have done on our work, but ahah stage fright got my tongue tied. >.<

Ooh, that Chen Shu Fen avatar. :D Now that you mentioned it I really miss my old Kingdom Hearts avatar. X-O

Sorry for the late reply, Ephie! I've been doing a lot of random things away from the computer >.<

Yep. Jak and Ken told me it's just in Edit > Preferences and you can specify the amount it uses :) It works slightly better than before :)

Ahh Rococo and Bauhaus >_< We got a crash course on the Bauhaus (whole modernist movement) but we learn about many late modernists (Frank Lloyd Wright, International Style, PostModernism). Sounds interesting! I always like it when art crosses with architecture :D

Hahahaha well it's their job to make our lives harder >.< Seriously, that's what my course convenor said T_T ... it's to make us learn ;-;

Haha yep! I feel like going back to it because it seems so serious :nerd:

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenHENSHIN! *turns into a bear for no reason* Owh? What have you been doing? Still working? Owh ho ho, I've been staring randomly on the pc screen for hours as well. And the feeling is really empty. I did just that few days ago and I really felt hollow inside. *thinks Bleach* Evo you're in DevArt?! Whoa whee! Cool~! Then I'll stalk you right over there as well. :)

Me? I just had my semester break last Saturday, so I feel like flying right now. Coz I've been training to be Super Insomniac for the past few months and I really feel like killing myself. T_T Since I'm so darn free now, might as well take Lampy for a walk. ^^

Gaaaah I hate how they merge and dont notify you. Still working yeah and I got my lovely certificate for working there for one year the other day. It was like awwww Im loved and been in this hell for a while. Yeah I'm over at Deviant Art too.... hey wait.. did I say something about that *checks* tee hee surprisingly my username is the same... the best thing about no one else using the same one as you because they have no idea what it means. So stalk away... I love the stalking <3

Yeah Lampy will look forward to seeing you and spending some quality time, he has been missing you so much so the bonding will do each other good. Finals finished for the year? Time to sit back and relax for Christmas... not me thought Im working :sweat:

Quote by Ephemeral-Garden
Owh? Memory card huh? Hm, I get A LOT of problem while I was still using the old desktop. I only have approximately 30 minutes to 1 hours of time to work on the pc before it gets restarted by itself. It sucks. Can't do much photoshopping back then. If I'm not mistaken the fan had something to do with it. Sucked big time. x_x I'm not so sure about churning noises, but if you really want me to guess it might have to do with either the cooling fan inside the CPU or maybe your CPU doesn't have enough memory or there's not much space in your hard disk. ^^ Try checking it out.

Ooh, then you're probably the same as me then. ;) I'm not sure if my diploma will go well. But in case if it does, then I'll continue my degree for another 2 years and I'll be graduating at 23 years old too! Yay~! Lolz, ARCHITORTURE is just right. Then maybe I'll try to come up with something in my course as well. XD

Australian Architecture huh? Come to think of it, I've never been to Australia, so I'm not sure how Australia's buildings look like. But I'm pretty interested in it though, since I have an interest in history. XD Thinks Rococo. X-P

Really? Handrawn presentations huh? We're pretty much doing the same thing as well. And our presentations requires us to have at least 2 A2 and 1 A1 size boards during the presentation. Ugh, the torture. T_T

Yeah, you're right. There's just no such thing as perfect presentation. It seems like they're always trying to pick some minor flaws or ask random questions so they can shoot at us in case we can't answer. I still remember being shot by this English lecturer just because I asked the wrong person during out sculpture presentation. *shakes fist* Ephie needs to brush up her shooting skills, lol. Presentation in our college means "JOO MUST WIN THE LECTURER OR ELSE YOU LOSE". How tense indeed. >_<

New walls coming up, YAY! Is really looking forward to it. ^^ I'm still stuck at the moment. And somehow I can sense that the artblock disease is starting to kick in. :\

ARGH NO! DONT CHANGE THE AVATAR! Ahahha. What kind of avatar are you going to replace that with by the way?

Lol yeah. I have a feeling Photoshop was just taking too much RAM. I took Ken and Jak's advice and lowered it (it was 50% before, now it's 30%) and it seems to not make so many horrible noises. I think the fan is working since there's air coming out the back. I have enough space too, because well, >30GB free space :P I think I might get more RAM later on though.

Haha yeah. By then we'll all be still young :) It's not too much of a biggie. Enjoy it while it lasts :)

Australian architecture... it's because we're such a mix we don't have our own style. The best we got was the Australian verandah (because of our climate). Murcutt just simply designed these sort of enlongated sheds for living in isolated areas and they were environmentally friendly/ good for the climate. We have no distinctive architecture lol - Sydney just looks like any other city. But we do have some great buildings, of course :)

Yep, same here. We had 2 A1 sheets for our last presentation. It took me like 3 days to draw because of the rendering. Thank God for drafting film!

Well, my philosophy about lecturers asking questions is not to trick you... they just want to understand what you were thinking and what you were trying to do, that's why they asked. There's this guy who asks a lot of questions and I know someone who hates him because of that. But the truth is, he's only asking to see how well you've thought about things... it's not that you're scared you can't answer... you're scared of answering a stupid answer, which will then trigger other questions. Questions aren't really that scary - they just prove how much work you've done :P

Lol artblock. Most of my artblock was because of the damn computer noises. I don't want to fry my RAM card again :\ The first time it did, I was scared because the computer wouldn't turn on >_<

I was planning to just change it back to the Chen Shu Fen avatar I had before lol. I'm planning to alternate between the two. I have a feeling if I don't change my avatar, people won't take me seriously >:\ haha

Long time no see! How are you? *takes cookies offered, patting Lampie at the same time*


Ephie! *glomp attacks* Same old same old, working myself into an early grave, spending countless hours staring randomly at the internet and improving colouring skills on Deviant Art XD *hugs the Lampy* and yourself? Its been a very long while. I've taken care of him, he got a shine the other day so he is feeling happy :D

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenMisa~! Owh, you're finally back! ^^

By the way, thanks for dropping by my page and the greetings as well. XD I was really late in logging into MT, so I just realised that a few days ago, sorry. Damn college is getting onto my nerves. But that's over now so I THINK I should be able to start with the photoshop again. ^^

So how about you? How have you been? So you're in Architecture huh? That must mean a lot of model board, making models and stuffs like that. O_o

Hi Ephie :D *Waves*

It's okay! I'm pretty late at replying lol... in the mornings I have to put out the washing, boil water, make tea, boil the rice and soup and hopefully comment on Mt ... all in 40 minutes! Hahahaha anyway that was random, but the point is, everyone's got their own life outside the internet square ;)

Yay! I can't wait to see your next photoshop work :D

Hmmm I've been lazy X-P Yep, you're totally right about the models and stuff. This semester we didn't make many models though, it was mostly the drawing that took me a long time. I think after a while when you get your models and cutting accurate it doesn't take too long. But the drawings... oh God. The fact I had to use colour as well to make it look nice took forever *_*

What are you doing at college, Ephie?

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenMisa~ *beams*

Woo, that sounds like you're really busy and rushing. But why 40 minutes? Ahaha, I don't mind late replies. :) That applies to me as well. Yeah... everyone is busy with their lives, no arguement there. Don't even have the time to even log into MT for like... how many months. >.<

I already have the scan cleaned and editted, I just the need the motivation to turn it into a wallpaper. It's been lying in the pendrive for nearly a year X-P

Owh? Which semester are you in by the way? I have a housemate who's taking architecture, but he's only in the first semester though so I can see just how busy and frustrated he gets whenever it comes to making models and very very frustrating drawings. You can find most of our college's 'craziest' students either in architecture or interior design. x_x So I can pretty much relate how you feel. :)

I'm taking diploma in animation and multimedia design. Just finished my second semester though. And I barely went out alive, with all those pressure and assignments to work with. :sweat: By the time I start my third semester I'm officialy a dead man. ~_~

... :D

Forty minutes because that's when my parents come back from exercise ;D
Yup, we've both been away from Mt for several months ^_^' It's kinda good to be back :3

Woo...! I have that kind of thing with a lot of my undone psds... lol, got to find motivation to finish them :\

I'm in uhm, I just finished my 4th semester. 2 more semesters and I graduate! :o But I have to do another 4 semesters after that to qualify to be an architect (it's mandatory to do 5 years' study >_<). Yep! They expect us to spend an extra 48 hours on design outside of class... that's the weekend without eating or sleeping D: We have other subjects too T_T But yeah, I'm glad the holidays are here. I can rewind, and be prepared for next year. We get Glenn Murcutt D: He's apparently Australia's pride because he won the most recent most prestigious international award for architects D: Scary!

Wow! That sounds fun O-O I can imagine that it'd be busy *_* All design subjects tend to be like that.... it's a crime to be creative X-P :nyah:

merged: 12-09-2007 ~ 08:44am

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenI see. >_<

Yeah, that's true. I miss MT so much. Too much to cope up with. I'm planning to take part in Vectorness challenge in AP if they announce a new challenge. ;) Is mad because my last wallpaper was meant for the challenge but I was way behind deadline. T_T And not to forget the UA's one colour challenge! Yay!

5 years? That's like taking Degree after your Diploma. That's kinda long. No, wait. That's TORTURE. X-P Glenn Murcutt? Not a familiar name but the buildings he designed, are they nice? To win the most prestigious international architects award is something really worth the proud. o_0

Bahaha, well since I'm still learning the basics, so I'm doing the same thing as Graphic Design for now. But soon I'll learn something slightly different the next semester though, all excited, visual design! XD

I'm not sure with other courses but my lecturers are really demanding with the work we presented. Geez. That's not right, this design looks common, maybe if you modify this, and that... I know creative colleges are like that but argh~! Give me a break..

So you're having your hm... summer holidays, am I right? What's your planning, Misa?

Hmmm sounds interesting :D I want to make something fantastic, but I can't find any reason to do so :\ Not to mention after I changed the memory card in my computer, it makes horrible churning noises when I try to do stuff on Photoshop >_< Sigh. I want to go to Uni and do it... but I don't know if I should...

Yeah, it's long, but I'll still be young :P I'd be 22 by then o_o Well with work experience I'd be 23, but life has hardly begun by then >_< Yep, we call our subject ARCHITORTURE >_<!
I don't think he's done any huge buildings, but he's been doing a lot of work with the "Australian vernacular" and modernist stuff combined. And he's been defining Australian Architecture pretty well (our country is just a mishmash) so yeah, he's pretty good. I hope I don't get scared >_<

Oooh visual design! I think I might be doing that next semester with computers. So far all of our presentations are hand drawn XO

Lol but that's what design's all about - they say these things and there's no possible way of having a "perfect" presentation. And the funny thing is that my last presentation, we had the Head of Architecture as a guest (scary, yes!) and he was arguing with this other girl. And you know what he said? "Just smile, nod, and say nothing". >___< LOL!

Yeah, super holidays :P Well I'm starting Uni early because of general education courses (They are compulsory) and I don't have a job so blah. I do want to wall. But not on my computer :\ I've been reduced to only typing and doing really simple Photoshop projects here because I don't want to fry my memory card :\
Lol thanks for the gallery comment, by the way. Yeah, I know it's kind of rusty and not my usual busybody kind of wallpaper - but I have a feeling a lot of the things I'll submit will be very different to what I did before o_o Well, gotta start somewhere ;)

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenNot a very bad doujinshi you came up with. ^^ I'm not really that attached to TRC's characters so I dont mind who Kurogane end up with but hah, this is just one scene I just couldn't ignore. The positions of Tomoyo and Kurogane is very interesting indeed.

Your drawing is good, but I think you can do better with the colour. They look kinda flat.

But other than that, I think this is a very great work. The emotions are there, and it's overflowing. ^^

thanks for the comment ^^ - yeah colouring has always been a flaw of mine >.< i just cant get it - and it takes me ages O.O - kinda wish someone else would color things for me - but i guess thats just selfish - and prob wont feel like its all mine so i guess i just need to keep practicing when i have the time ^^' - glad u dont care who kurogane ends up with - i've had lotsa ppl tell me how totally wrong i am and how stupid i can be for shipping those two - but hey its fandom - who cares who you like cause it's not like you can make that pairing real yourself - its CLAMP's call there :P

Lols. Yea. Sorry about that. Been busy with all kinds of stuffs. In fact I'm pretty sleepy right now. O.O''

Yeah, Tantei Gakuen in live-action. I saw the cover of the dvd once in a store. The characters don't resemble the original characters in the manga at all. >.< But I think I know which one is Ryu though, gah, he's so just cool. XD

By the way, I've got my hands on the final chapter. T.T It's just plain touching. To think Mr. Dan passed away because of some unknown illness. *sobs*

Owh yeah, talk about live-action dramas, I just happened to watch Hana Yori Dango 2 few weeks ago. Now that is really some touching story. And I think I've fallen in love with Utada Hikaru's Flavour of Life. >.<

Haha.. Yamada Ryousuke?xD the johnny's junior kid right.. I think he plays Ryu. I don't have a fetish for little kids but he does certainly know how to act cool. *lovest the scene where he saves Meg from falling* I actually almost mistook him for Kazuma at the start since he was so short, until I saw the real Kazuma who was even taller than Ryu! O_o I think the TV drama series has a different Kazuma thankfully.

I like Hanadan season 1.. but am halfway through season 2, don't have perseverence. If you've heard Otsuka Ai's Planetarium its actually quite catchy as well. I had both songs up for repeat for weeks wanyway.=D I wonder if you've seen Nodame Cantabile Live Action? Its a recommended watch as well.
