Fly... by °Phill 1 month 4 hours ago

This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

Firemistress's Comments

my first vector :)

3 years 1 month ago

"Well, sicne I'm in a Computer Graphics school I was taught to vectorize with Illustrator. I did tried using Photoshop as a vectoring tool a couple of times, but wasn't very happy with the results. Illustrator is the best program for vector images, which is why it's industry standard. I never tried Freehand, but it's nothing that I'm really interested in.

Besides, you can vectorize an image in Illustrator and resize it anyway you want and still look good, but in Photoshop this is not possible.


Dioma, good job for your first try, although I agree w/ Riza. Her fingers looks a bit funny.
Don't let this discourage you, though. Trust me, you DO NOT want to see my first vector project :)"

Attacks on London

3 years 1 month ago

"
Terrorism isn't about changing minds or persauding people. These kind of attacks are all about hate. Terrorist aren't trying to turn deals or convince governments to change their stances. Terrorist just want to kill people.


This is quite true. It actually remainds me a lot to this movie I watched a little while ago called 'Seven'. It is practically the same thing. A lunatic murderer who kills innocent people to teach the rest of the population about the Seven Deadly Sins, which are: Pride, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Anger, Gluttony, and Sloth.

In the movie, the murderer supposedly "turns each sins against their sinners, because you can't just tap people on their shoulders and get them to listen anymore." and when asked, (by one of the detectives) why he seemed so excited if he killed all those innocent people just because, 'God' gave him that job, he said, "...nothing wrong with a man taking pleasure in his work."

I think this is the same when it comes to terrorists. They supposedly kill innocent people to preach, but in reality they are doing it because they are enjoying it. They are just very twisted people.

If you guys haven't watched this movie, I personally recommend it. The dialogues are incredible. It's the type that after you're done watching it, it will still make you think and analize. I remember going to sleep the day I watched it thinking of some of the dialogues that had plagued my mind. Sad, but this movie hits real life accurately. "

Birthday Member Suggestion...

3 years 2 months ago

"Just a thought that occured to me. I used to attend a FFVi forum quite a while back, and there was something that they had which I found to be very cool. You see, the admins/mods had a list of every member's birthday. When it was someone's birthday, the would announce it one the "news" and congratulate him/her.

I really liked this because I felt that it made the members feel...how should I say it, appreciated. That someone has not forgotten their birthday and felt that they were special enough to announce it on their news section.

Lamentaly, this forum is not up anymore, but nonetheless I still admire everything that it had to offer. I was very proud to be one of their Mods.

Now, I'm not saying that forum should immitate the other one completely. Within the few time that I've had here I've come to love this site and its members just the way it is. This is the coolest forum I've seen for quite some time. Yet, I feel that it can always get cooler. Which is why I'm giving you this suggestion to consider.

I understand if this may not be possible at the moment. Most likely you guys have a lot already in your hands with the upcoming of the new AP, but I'm just asking you not to throw away this idea without giving it careful thought.

Thanks. "

Other Languages Board

3 years 2 months ago

"I was thinking of that, but wouldn't that be a bit too difficult to maintain several boards at a time?
So I wonder, why not have the beta guide available in other languages?
Unfortunately, the only thing that we can do for them in probably have a list of people who knows English and a second language so that if anyone who wants to ask a question doesn't know English, they could always PM one of those member, ask them to translate, and post later that translation to the board.

Am I making sense? O.o"

Introduction

"Hi and welcome to AP!
I know what you mean about there being plenty of people in other forums who complains, instead of help. I myself belonged to some of them, too, and noticed first-hand how very trivial things can easily brake apart a good forum. So far, I have yet to encounter something like this here, and I'm very happy about that. This forum is one of the best I've been to and it would be a real shame to see it go away because of stupid people who doesn't know how to behave.

I'm glad you decided to join us and introduce yourself.

No, but I believe in a thing called love.

I do however, believe in black magic. Not the kind you see in a video game or anime, but the really harmful one. Like Vodoo, for example."

Batman Begins

"Like Dias, I also thought this movie was going to be all about the "eye candy". No solid plot, terrible actors, etc. But, I was proven very wrong. I really laughed with Morgan Freeman's jokes. The plot was very interesteting. It defenitly kept me awake. The setting was very well-portrayed and the gadgets! I love that batmobile! Geez, I wish I can get a baby like that, too...

I loved the part when Bruce says, "Does it come in black?"

:lol:

All in all, I rate it 9.0/10.0

":lol: Honey, after knowing that you were the one responsible for drawing Kalico's Albel picture and seeing how sexy and how like the character he looked, 'great' may actually fall short to that. You see, I draw what I see. the fanarts there that I've drawn, I've drawn them from other images or by pausing my PS2, :D

I really admire someone who can draw a picture of a character...or anything for that matter just by memory. Julie Dillon is another artist that I truly respect. Silly to say, but she is like an idol to me :D

Which one?

"I love Fushigi Yugi and I'l defenitly will recommend you that one. It will seriously make you laugh, cry, scream at the evil-but-sexy- villain...and most importantly you'll defenitly will fall in love and will empathize with all the characters, even the evil ones, although at first it may not look as so.

I haven't seen Spiral so I can't really say much about it, but even if you pick Spiral, make sure that when you have money again, you get Fushigi Yugi. Trust me, you'll be thanking us :D"
