__THISRES__81653.jpg "Fly... by °Phill 1 month 4 hours ago")
^nat
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.

Upload problem: Double submission
1 month 7 hours ago
"@motogp : Um, I only clicked the 'Submit' button once. I didn't do anything wrong IMO - that's why I opened this thread... >.> The last part was more of a joke, I wasn't *actually* expecting them back.@hatesyou : Thanks, but... why did my browser do that? *is confused* Never had that sort of problem before. I guess I'll switch to Opera when I upload stuff until I figure out what's wrong ^_^; "

Upload problem: Double submission
1 month 16 hours ago
"OK... I tried to submit a wallpaper, and after I clicked 'Submit' I got a blank page. I didn't hit 'Refresh' ~ I just closed the tab and hoped that my wallpaper got through. [re: no page refreshing or any other attempt to submit my wallpaper a second time]When I checked AP a while later, I had 7 new messages - all stating that my wallpaper was rejected because of a 'double submission' problem.
Now, I'm not sure if this is because of my net connection [although I don't have problems uploading stuff anywhere else] or because of an AP bug, but maybe someone should look into this. And I want my 100 papers back T_T
LE: Not sure if this helps, but I'm using Firefox 3 on a Windows Vista Professional laptop, with a broadband connection."

Adds overlapping navigation menus

Upload error?
2 months 2 weeks ago
"Okies... I've got a[nother] problem.About 24 hours ago, I tried to submit a wallpaper in two different versions [1600 x 1200 and the standard widescreen resolution, I think it was 1440 x 900 or something, can't remember -- but I took it straight from the FAQ, so I couldn't have been wrong about that]. What happened is that I got a message saying, "None of the images you submitted have the necessary resolution" or something of the sort. Oookay, so then I waited to see if by some miracle the image was still uploaded and my wallpaper had made it to the approval queue. After nothing showed up, I tried submitting it again; this time, it was uploaded with no problems.
And then, I just got a message saying, "Submission Rejection Notification: Wallpaper submitted three times". Uh... 'scuse me? The first time, I got a message saying that the images weren't approved, and when nothing else showed up I assumed that the submission had been a failure [no idea why]. The second time it worked OK. So why did I get this message in the end? [and triple, on top of that].
I dunno... sometimes either people have problems with their Internet connection or AP has bugs [...or both]. I think this kind of situations can't be helped, and it'd be best if you guys just approved one submission and deleted the extras? Just a suggestion from a frustrated user. "

Why Does Kisame Look Like A Shark
2 months 2 weeks ago
"@ mad333: Kisame and Orochimaru had absolutely nothing to do with each other, except that they might have been in Akatsuki at the same time. The manga doesn't even so much as hint at that >.<I agree with redstorm that this could be some ninjutsu effect, but I'll stop at that. I don't usually like to speculate, so for now I'll just stick with "Kishi wanted to draw him that way" :)"

Are obscene tags allowed?
2 months 3 weeks ago
"O~kay... here's something that's been bothering me for a while. I've seen the tag Oppai on the first page for a while. I'm not sure how many people know what that actually means, but in Japanese, "Oppai" is a word with sexual connotations, which could be roughly translated as "titties" [the largely accepted word is "mune" (breasts)]. Is this allowed under the AP policy? I don't know about any other Japanese-speaking users, but I personally find it disturbing. "View

J.A.P.A.N. - The Gaijin Adventures

" First page of randomness! (zOMG CLICK! [/n00b])I've been meaning to start my own lil' [web]comic series for a while now, but I usually lacked two things: time [mostly] and talent [definitely]. I'll face it: I can't draw on paper, not to save my life. I have lots of ideas and no-one to draw'em for me... so today, I just opened Photoshop and said, "What the heck, if I can vector stuff, I can definitely doodle some chibis, how hard can it be?"
The process of creating this comic was really simple: idea -> doodle (Wacom tablets are pure w1n) -> abuse Pen Tool -> add text -> DONE!
Opinions, anyone? *shifty eyes* "

Naruto Shippuden latest anime and manga episode discuss

"Chinese outfits...? *scratches head* Didn't really notice.I agree with the user above that the villains look interesting this time. From what's out so far, the filler arc looks decent at least. They integrated the story well with the general background of the series, and now I'm really curious to see what happens next. Besides, it's nice to not know what will happen next for once. Once you've read the manga, everything in the anime except the fillers becomes quite boring and predictable, save for certain scenes I really want to see animated, like

When will they remember Kabuto?
3 months 1 week ago
"The most decent way to bring back Kabuto would be if he joined Akatsuki or prove to be some threat to Konoha and the world in another way; I doubt any scenario will happen, though, because that would be just... another lame plot twist. I liked his character, too, but the story moved beyond that. "View
Naruto and Sasuke Wallpaper
3 months 1 week ago
"My advice would be to try and vector the main renders of Sasuke and Naruto and give up on the smaller image in the middle [it doesn't really fit in well]. As far as your wallpaper goes right now, the lines on the scans are too jagged, so I doubt the wallpaper would pass...You can find some excellent [and easy-to-follow] vector tutorials on DeviantART *nod*
Good luck!

New wallpaper resolution request?
3 months 2 weeks ago
"Some of the newer Sony VAIO laptops have a default resolution of 1200 x 800 [which can't be changed for some annoying reason >.<]. Some Mac laptops also use this resolution so, since I've seen a bunch of weird resolutions which AP accepts, I was wondering if you could make room for one more [if not now, then in the next version, maybe?] As a VAIO user, I sure would be glad *nods* "View

Too much additions to the anime
3 months 2 weeks ago
"Ever since Shippuuden began they've been dragging it WAY too long. In every episode there were at least five minutes of either staring and not-so-dramatic close-ups, or irrelevant chit-chat. LAME >.< And now, the filler arc. I can't believe they're making us go through this after the two years of lame fillers in the last season.I stopped following the anime and I only stick with the manga now. Even though that's coming out at a snail's pace, too. "

"IMO, the movie was way worse than I'd expected it to be. And the guy who designed the new characters should be shot [he's been doing character designs for every Naruto movie, and failing miserably every time.]Anyway,

Cuteness ~ Haruhi ♥

"I agree with you on simple wallpapers *nod* But for this particular piece, I think it would look better if you delete the aura around Haruhi [the white blur-ish lines] and maybe add some very faint brushes in the background [as it is, it's simple in the bad meaning of the word -.-;] OR, you could use the same effect that you used in the stock for the background, too, and that would make the stock blend in better.Good luck! And good luck with hoshihana.net, too ;) "

The end of naruto series
4 months 4 days ago
"Yeah~ they're dragging the story WAY too much in the anime, even though they're seriously behind.It's gonna take a long, long time.
Anyway, my take is that the whole Akatsuki will be dead in the end, and the whole series will end with a dramatic battle between
~ where, like someone was saying, everyone uses their abilities to the max."
