Relaxation by °Tens 1 day 16 hours ago

As an animation, Bakemonogatari has a simple, clean art style. But the guest illustrations for the series are anything but simple! So, it's great to see that °Tens took on a more complex illustration and made it his own with vector gradients so fine at points it more resembles painting that vectoring. Do have a look at this beautiful wallpaper!

Not, hard really if you are comfortable in an application that can do vector graphics. For this contest I understand we have to pick a monochrome or black and white scan and then vector it with color, sadly nothing I am currently watching has any scans

Oh okay. I don't know anything about doing scan or stuff like that lol

$virus9009 5 minutes ago
Yeah, am looking for one while I tag the mono's so others can search for them instead of going through the scans page by page or by anime lookin

Are you picking a scan for the contest?

$virus9009 7 minutes ago
Hahah awesome. wow so many monochrome scans ;/ but still havn't found one I like yet.

It is SO easy. Just pick out the stones, put them on jewelry wire, and add a clasp. Sometimes putting the clasp on can be a bit tricky. I just read a little book on how to do it. I've taken some classes, like making earrings and using free form wire

There is nothing wrong with that, how hard is it to make some stuff? did it take you a while to learn how?

~Roxie-Rae 12 minutes ago
I just use differnet stones, like turquoise, onyx, swavarski crystals. Theres a decent variety of stuff. Funny thing is I don't wear any of it, I just enjoy making it.

Very cool, what kind of jewlery do you make?

~Roxie-Rae 14 minutes ago
I'm trying to hurry and finish making some jewlery. Me and my mom are doing a booth at a Christmas Mall this weekend, and I have a ton of stuff to do, but I'm taking a break from it now

Our host is having router issues currently and is performing unscheduled repairs, AP may be slower than usual and you may have connection problems for a little while!

Update: Things should be all wrapped up by today, thank you for being paitent with the intermittent speed!

Update Update! On top of all that someone decided to DDOS our server, not a good week for AP! We've moved AP to a better host to hopefully resolve everything, thank you for your paitence!

Well, you shouldn't worry anymore. The router was fixed on the morning, and it should be all up and dandy now. It was such a freak accident though, because this host is a very respected one, and having one of their main routers bust is a very weird accident. It didn't only affect this site, but other communities I'm part of, and it kind of screwed me over all day long <_<

Luckily, I heard that the router was fixed, and everything should be stable now, although maintenance could also happen, which would explain any further downtime.

Site seems a bit faster for me. I have a satellite inet system and the latency usually drags things out, but AP is coming up very fast. Good job, Bantam! You da man!

And why in the hell would anyone DDOS an anime wallpaper/scan site? Some script-kiddy must have sprained his wrist jerking off in a sock to some eechi and got upset.

I donated right before the DDOS attack. The mods haven't lost that information, right?

The fact that AP's back is awesome. Attacks aren't awesome -_-
