Hi kuromisa! Thanks for the heads up. It's all pretty new and confusing but I'm getting the hang of it. I hope I can contact you if I have any questions and hope you have a great new years too.

I still couldn't edit my highlight wallpaper. What should I do? (I can't say thank you for the highlight under my wallpaper =_=)

Oh, Happy New Year for you!

My mistake, oh well.
I'll just keep looking by myself then.

Hi Silvana11

There is no facebook group on Minitokyo, but there's a Minitokyo group on Facebook.

When you go to Facebook, seach for "Minitokyo" and under groups you will find "Minitokyo.net-ers"

Ahh, ups I just misunderstood Guess I was a little tired hehe.. But thanks

Hahaha... busy-ish, huh?

Anyways, Happy New Year Kuri! Hope we go get a great school grades, ehehehe!

Quote by kuroimisaHey entity!

About the scan you asked about in the Wintry WL thread, I think it'd be a good idea to tweak the icicles a bit to look like icebergs (eg. flatter top, or showing the water it's floating on), since icebergs are typically floating bits in water ^^;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg

From the pictures in the wiki article though, you can probably make those icicles the side of an iceberg. Anyway, it's up to you, but hopefully it's possible to make them look icebergy, if that's okay

That's okay, Kuro-sama, I don't think I can really edit the scan all that well...I'll try to add some ocean. If I can't, I just won't submit it for the article.

Kuroimisa
Thank you for the advice on my 'installing problems...' thread. Sadly, it didn't help any, but I appreciated it anyway.

Quote by Kuroimisa I'm happy that you chose to go for a different background rather than the red in the original scan (not that red's bad) - it makes it seem refreshing in a way to see a different interpretation of it :3

Seriously excellent vector (I can't believe it's the first ) and the elements put together makes this pleasing on the eyes. Also very nice use of texture. Thanks for the great wallpaper!

Hello Kuroimisa!
Thank you so much for the nice comment! I'm very glad to know that
I wanted to change the background because i didn't want to make all those roses, I wanted something different, so I decided to make it simple and original.
I practiced a bit on other scans before making this one, some outlines and base colors, and then I decided to make vector of your scan, i'm glad you enjoyed the work.
Take Care!

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

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

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

No, it's okay!

We learnt History of Art during the 2nd semester and I kinda liked it. I mean, we get to see different styles in oil painting and actually try to paint according to the style chosen is pure fun! To think we can go crazy with the brush on such huge canvas, ahh, the joy. >__<

Ah lols. I don't think thats actually quite a problem though.

Thanks Ran!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!

Hopefully you don't blow up too many things...

Hahaha... to tell you the truth, I have no plans on blowing things this year, ehehehe! Hmm... might as well blow your page with fireworks, if that's okay with you.

PS: Still am waiting on your reply to my other message, hehehe!

your most welcome!~ ^^ hope you have a great time as well!~ ^^ cya around!~ ^^

Quote by kuroimisaHi enchantment! Thanks so much for the kind comment

I did have a look at the new version and it looks great I see you changed the vector and you also repainted the flowers :P

It's also great to hear that the wallpaper evolved It's a process and we all like to know and see it ^_^

Anyway, to tell the truth I'm a terrible painter (getting a tablet soon though... might help a bit... lol ) From the looks of your technique though, it's really good.

If you really want to know what I'd do, I'd probably do some more to the flowers - like shadows. Maybe the stock you picked had different lighting, but anyway, when a flower overlaps another it should cast a shadow. What I'd also do is change the colour of the outlines - the part closer of the flower outline should be brighter than the back to add depth (and thicker at the front, thinner at the back for perspective).
Same with the flower itself, the front part should be brighter than the back - that was a handy hint Candy made me realise, because painting seems to be quite straightforward, but it's actually very hard to achieve depth. So using colours to create depth is something we'll all have to take advantage of :P

I hope that was of some help It's a really lovely wallpaper and you've put a lot of work into it <3 While I'm here, Merry Christmas in 2 days' time

your welcome and i should be thanking you

thanks a bunch for the kind words

lol no your not, your painting is heaps good, way better than mine thats for sure

yay for tablets [im too lazy to get one (dont even know where to get one meh ), so i'll stick with the customary mouse ]

thanks

shadowing, so thats what i was missing i didnt even notice oops

i'll do the shadowing tomorrow and if its ok, could you take another look?

its like 11:44pm at the moment and im just a tad tired [thats what happens if you have 3-4 hours sleep the night before lol couldnt sleep must be the pull of christmas lol ]

yay for candy and her helpful hints both of yous are such good wallers

thats so true, i thought id almost fall over cause of the painting evil

thanks a bunch and it was really helpful -huggles-

thanks and merry christmas to you as well

hope you have a wonderful christmas with many gifts and smiling faces

Hey, Misa! I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas and a lovely New Year!

Quote by kuroimisaNot a bad try for a first wallpaper Extraction is nice and it looks very well thought out

Some things to think about in the future:

- Butterflies: If you rotate them a bit so they each look a little "different" and make them different sizes, it'll look a bit more natural. You can do this with Photoshop's EDIT> TRANSFORM> SCALE / ROTATE option

- Snow - same with the snow - the brush sizes can be changed a bit more, and some can be rotated (mostly the asterisk looking one and the one with 4 corners like a plus sign). With snow you can also differ the opacity (you can change it on the entire layer or for the brush - there are options at the top).
Also, don't be afraid to use the eraser and rub out bits of the snow so it doesn't look like the same brush. It's okay to have irregular looking snow :P But if you do that, make sure to have your eraser set at 30% flow or less so it doesn't rub out too harshly.

- Clouds - when you can (and I think soon :P), trace over the clouds so it'll fit with the scan feel - kind of blocky and solid. If not, paint or smudge them so they are less realistic - same goes for the moon and butterflies

Lastly, signature is always good at the bottom, and scan/vector credit in description also helps for good habits

Keep it up!
