Fly... by °Phill 1 month 1 week 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.

"Those braided things look really nice, do you have a wire inside them to keep their shape? I myself play with ribbons sometimes, you can make a neat looking rose out of appropriately coloured ribbons. And who doesn't love a guy who sews! Hahahaha, you rock, eso!"

FMP! TSR Wall.

"I suggest that you use another texture that is not so grainy on the character, or lose the texture on the character altogether. Also maybe you could move the character to the center? Unless there is something hidden in the shadows to balance the character on the left?"

Mao Zedong

"If you wish to let others know about Mao Zedong, a much better way would be to do a short summary (not too long), and maybe link to some websites with some commentary about what they contain and is worth looking at. To initiate discussion, perhaps you could also state some of your own opinions and perhaps pose some open questions. Simply cutting and pasting a series of quotes and extracts without any commentary doesn't promote interaction, which is what the forum is all about. "

Aria

2 years 11 months ago

"I've wanted to get my hands on it ever since I read this review. Since it compared it to Yokohama shopping log which is another weird but strangely compelling manga I like, I've been looking around for Aria. Apparently, Aria is a sequel to Aqua, another manga. Anyone has any information about Aqua? "

Has anyone heard of this anime ?

It seems to be some kind of weird

SPOILER SPOILER









SPOILER SPOILER
amalgam involving clones, a strange phenomenon that disables electronics, psychic powers, and a conspiracy. I for one was not amused with the "I'm pregnant with a strange baby of unknown origin" which is going to cause me to go into a cocoon and will probably eat me from inside out. @.@ What did amuse me was the use of physics terms (or at least an attempt to) when the characters tried to talk scientific-speak. Otherwise, in my personal opinion this seems to be a bad bad mesh of some good ideas. "

FMA wall - graf

I think the glowing symbol clashes quite badly with the sporty styled character. May I suggest you convert the symbol into graffitti-style? Dripping spray paint style?.


That's what I was going for originally, but it looked kinda naff.


o.O; Hmm... if you go for grafitti styled text instead? And give up the symbol? There are lots of nice graffiti styled backgrounds at thespook at deviantart like this."

my 1st WP what you think?

"I personally think there are too many repeated characters, Kakashi and Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke are shown twice, and Kakashi in the same side view. I recommend removing the central three characters and the Kakashi above it, and just leaving the two teams and their mentors on the side. To fill in the space in the middle, how about some yin-yang symbol or something similar? "

"I think the glowing symbol clashes quite badly with the sporty styled character. May I suggest you convert the symbol into graffitti-style? Dripping spray paint style? Maybe make it bigger and move it to the center, then the character placed in the center. I think that would suit the style of the scan better. There is also a nice symbol that Dioma used in her Lust wall here.

Help making pillars

3 years 12 hours ago

"If you have CS2, I suggest using transform->warp on a texture to get that curved effect. There was a thread on Rays of light not too long ago in here, maybe the lighting tips in there will be useful. Note that if your pillars are shiny or metallic they will have reflections in them. Also don't forget that your pillars will cast shadows depending on your light source. "

Anime Worlds - Which Would You Live In?

3 years 2 days ago

"The anime world I would most like to live in is the Card Captor Sakura world. ><; Why? Because I found it so sweet to the point of being unrealistic, even with the weird CLAMP fetishes of having very young girls paired with middle aged men and yaoi. The people are so seemingly perfectly kind and selfless, especially Sakura's family. What appeals to me is how their household is run and the atmosphere of it. Nobody complains about having to do the chores, and everyone is responsible and considerate. @.@ It doesn't hurt that everyone seems to be multi-talented too, Sakura's father for example who can cook, clean, sew and still be a university professor at the same time. After encountering so many inconsiderate and thoughtless people, it would be really nice if I could live in a world populated with sweet and caring ccs characters. "

"May I suggest you lower the opacity of the speedlines? Maybe now all you need is the Meow! text returned but this time black with a white outline to match the character? Somehow I think that the white outline is rather thick and could be done without, but that's up to you. XD"

"May I suggest you shift the character to a more central position? And perhaps move them further up a bit, so we can see more of the reflection in the water below? Also, the spiral sparkle thing looks cut off on the right hand side, maybe you can fix that? Maybe changing the blending mode of the spiral sparkles to overlay or soft light would make it look better? Similarly for the font? I think a black blurred stroke/glow blending mode soft light with 50% opacity with white text 100% opacity blending mode soft light may look nice. "
