After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!

Vocaloid - Kei's Miku Fig wall.
1 year 5 months ago
"Nice concept, very cute and striking at the same time. Also great job on matching the colors. XDThis wall tends to look much darker at my office monitor... but looks just fine on my home monitor. I suggest upping the mid-point level (brightness) a bit to Miku to make her having less contrast and less saturation (notice the screaming color saturation on her armpit). Would be safer for lower-gamma monitors, and that way she would also look more natural.
The 3D effects are very good, and techy. But the only irk about it is that some of the lines look too much aliased it's distracting. But I have no idea how to fix it since I very rarely use 3D rendering softwares ^_^'
Oh, and to trick people's vision into not noticing the 'detached'ness, you can try adding 'light rays' originating from her back, very subtly and low opacity.. because her background elements emit very strong lights and IMO adding shadows beneath her would be a bit odd because of the disorientating angles pointed out by hamstersanonymous."

What would you do If someone delete your anime colletction or destroy your DVD's

"Well, ridiculous question, but an interesting one nevertheless.Of course, if anyone dare to mess up with my anime collection, he/she would be battered to death and sent staright to otaku hell.
LoL. Kiddin.
Maybe I'll just ask for a total replacement or what not. I'm not that barbaric, y'know.
Just, maybe... not that violent...
or...
it's just that such thing have never happened. So I hope it won't happen for real anytime soon. XD"

Has an anime ever made you cry?
3 years 3 months ago
"Eh, just finished E7, and I must say, I almost made me burst in tears. But that's just almost. I got some difficulties understanding the overall ending scene, so yeah, that took much of my mind compared to the emo impact. LOL.Anyways, the only anime that 'succeeded' in making me cry was Automatic Maiden Mahoromatic, which is my all-time top favorite anime. Watch the 2nd season ending, and you'll see why."

What should I do?
3 years 7 months ago
"1. Noticed the strange blobs of colors in the characters' image? That's called JPEG artifacts, which is caused by either low-resolution scan or high image compression rate. Although the image is properly extracted, the background is too much basic. It looks as if the characters were floating in somewhere... and there's no 'visual treat' to the entire scene. There's no interesting points other than the characters themselves. Try adding patterns, shapes, and other combinations as a background.2. The concept/idea is good, it looks like Daisuke's reading a book in a couch, and behind him is a wall filled with picture frames. But it's poorly executed.
The filter's ruining the entire scene. Instead of giving texture to the wall only, it gives off a chaotic textured look to the entire wall, which is not a good filter usage. Try to find tutorials on good layering techniques and how to effectively use filters to specific layers and their blending modes.
And Daisuke is very badly extracted. Avoid using magic wand as extraction tool, and start learning how to properly extract images using other means, such as pen tool.
3. The scan is not a good image to start making a wall with. Unless you're thinking to expand his blanket and the entire room scene, I suggest you try to find another scan."

"LoL'ed at the last post XDit's a bit pedo indeed... but the story is quite interesting towards the end. The villains are unfolded, and the fightscenes are getting more intense.
The artwork is by far one of my favorite. It's very noiji itoh-ish, but added some blinding special effects."

Soukyuu no Fahner: Dead Aggressor
3 years 9 months ago
"From my ava, you can tell I'm a big Fafner fan. Tho, I doubt it that a sequel would do this title any justice, because the story ends -there-. Not much to expect from a sequel -if any-, because the main intriguing, and most interesting part of Fafner is to guess how the story -would- progress after the ending of the TV series.But that's just me being one way and around...
overall, I really love this anime,... I think it's kinda overlooked by most mecha fan because most of them said 'It has GSD characters in it, whoa~ cheesy!' ... blah, if only the character design had not been made by Hisashi Hirai, Fafner would definitely not be as good as it is now!! >_<
The effects are very cool, with many dynamic camera shots, and the story is appealing.
Mecha fans out there : You'll regret it if you haven't seen Fafner!"
