This wallpaper gives us a perfect example of how a simple manga scan can be turned into a beautiful vector. Not only did danalm trace the lineart, but he also added amazing details and a simple, yet wonderful background. Furthermore, the wallpaper shows us how the monochromatic style can make your work look really interesting.

Ein-Spike Vector(Cowboy Bebop)

2 years 10 months ago

"Been inactive lately for 3 days in AP to do some homework, vector and make wall.
this's my first on walling
here's the result
first
second
(res : 1600x1200)

i want to make simple bg so desktop icon can be seen clearly
as for bg element, i use vectored brush for musical symbol then tried to insert some add falling musical symbol and Ein's(the dog's name) off tone to make it more funny look.
the matter is its too simple, i think im missing something, the wall not so appealing ^^;

so i need some honest and harsh(but positive and constructive) crit/comment/advice/idea on vector and bg
and btw, is this considered vector wall? is vector wall means all of it(bg and all its element) must vector? ^^;

Sengoku Basara/Devil Kings

2 years 10 months ago

Uhh... Devil Kings. First played, i thought it was good, but no. The far that i go, the more i get bored.

Yeah... It's about Samurai Warriors story. The gameplay is too monotone. Some moves from the characters were based on DMC and other Capcom's games.

yes, first time play it i thought it was good too and yes, im bored after play it for many times it took much effort just to hack and slash a private class soldier sometimes (its far more tiring pressing attack button here than DW or SW)
no specific function on combo attack unlike DW (ex, square2x triangle stun enemy, square4x triangle lift enemy)
and im really dissapointed on how they make yukimura's acting *sigh*, hes like stupid or maybe young gay to me, always yell and express about his effort and loyalty to his lord in weird way.
its like he has no honour look on his face, warrior or samurai spirits in him by acting like that(anyone who like him in sengoku basara pls forgive me from what i said but this's my opinion on him)
i like him in SW, more heroic and honourable look.

the plus for this game maybe its moves, 1 vs 1 fight (char vs char) and
lol, i like fighting with iron ox its real challange to me (it pumps my heartbeat), hes far more powerful than lu bu and tadakatsu honda (SW).
i died about 7 times, need about 30 minutes just to beat him >_<

eck, i wrote this much...>_<

The pleasures of Yaoi

2 years 10 months ago

"
Omnidevil
Yaoi = Male and Male (gay anime)
Yuri = Female and Female (lesbian anime)

Someone got the meaning confused.

Well, in my opinion, since I do not believe in a God or any at that matter, I believe that it is simple pleasure of enjoying what you like best of the other sex. I am sure God or whatever you believe in give you a brain and desire to just waste them. I am sure that your mind exists for a reason.
And personally, I think whichever or whatever things (that do not hurt other people) you enjoy, by all means, go ahead. (aside from watching child porn that is)

Just because you are christian, it does not mean you have to follow the book completely, as long as you are living a life where you are helping people and not hurting no one with your pleasures and enjoyment, you are fine.

hey, many thanks for explaining about this omni. its clear to me now. i guess i've same situation as natsumilam but im atheist, so it doesnt really matter to me (i guess).

The pleasures of Yaoi

2 years 10 months ago

"Im a bit confused about yaoi definitions.
here's my question (this may seem stupid question i ask, but believe me i really confused) :
a man like to watch yaoi anime (female-female), is this considered yaoi ? or is it only apply to same gender like woman watch anime (female-female) ?

Dynasty Warriors!!!

arbel13
Waaa a Qiao lover and a Spear lover. I thought Ill never see someone like you, Thank god I found someone who think Lu Bu is a overpowered char.

haha...i like xiao qiao, here's the reason :
its square 3x then triangle sure do much much damage, send them fly and it hit enemy behind you (enemy usually whack my back to cancel my combo) so noone can touch me from behind ha...ha... if im surrounded just stir analog stick 360 degree then the fan'll spin around and send all of em fly or just press single triangle to stun then follow with square 5x then triangle he..he.. its like jigsawing human to death XD
and i like jiang wei cuz his quick attack style and musou, its 360 degree, wide range and lift enemy around up leave em defenseless

lol, lu bu got best fourth weapon, almost all 20 par and his it range sure wide. its like slicing vegetable and butchering worthless scum using lu bu. thats why hes overpowered, just not fair but its ok i guess."

Dynasty Warriors!!!

"Hmm, i dont like lu bu, for me lu bu kinda cheat char but sure hes worst enemy aside high speed swing char (i remember died only whacked by several combo) luckly he only got average swing speed and i can easily counter and break his combos using L1 + triangle. i prefer using xiao qiao and jiang wei"

help with creating the outline/line of character

2 years 10 months ago

"Yes, i trace around the whole line using pen tool. just take your time trace it, dont rush or the result'll be bad and sure, tracing takes a lot of patience some of vectorer needs 1 week to finish complicated trace. well, ofcourse you're not tracing whole day in 1 week. if you want to do it fast, i guess you need graphic tablet (i dont recommend this though) then use free form pen tool to trace."

my first wallpaper

2 years 10 months ago

"I think your wallpaper too plain white, at least you should put simple background.

i see some glass blur and bright effect on your scan (maybe you should expainwhat idea you've on your wallpaper)
but some of the effect washaway scan color and forming irregular color and shape of the box pattern. this one and four dots (left side) kinda disturbing to my point of view.

anyway just keep update it, surely some people here'll give their comments."

Advice on background

2 years 10 months ago

"The vector's great, clean and her skin looks shiny to me.

my personal preferences on vector :
maybe you could change white outline with green one, darker green than cloth inner color and same goes for her stocking, use darker green than her stocking's green color

about bg :
actually im confused thinking about bg for this vector. but here goes my idea.
maybe big window glass or frame around your vector with some scenery behind the window(town scenery or flower maybe). why i choose big window? from your vector pose, we can assume that she's in tight or narrow place so window maybe suited. but the choice is your this's just my idea ^^"

clouds and more clouds and a tiny plane

2 years 10 months ago

"The plane? what do you want to do with the plane, erase or use it? just brush it with white cloud color.
the rest is fine to me, maybe the cloud at the blue sky area kinda too realistic than the cloud below it but i think its fine."

. I'd advise doing a more complex background, and maybe adding a little text.


easier said. ^^) I suck at graphics. All I know is vectoring. ...unless of course I vector a BG. ^^?

hi solwy, glad to met you here too.
maybe you can try brighten (not too bright) the background then give it few effect to make it more eyecatching . well, you can vector the background the laser beam and butterfly, you can find brush for the fire effect but i find that vector bg may take too much time ^^;"

dilemma...3 styles which one to choose

2 years 10 months ago

"I choose the first one (sasuke and itachi). 2nd one i dont like the orochimaru image its kinda too scary. 3rd one too congested.

about the vector, i'll honestly comment on it. and im really sorry maybe my comment sound harsh and may turn you down

mangekyou sharingan vector's perfect

itachi vector seems not matched with sasuke vector cuz two of em've difference
here's the difference in my point of view,
- sasuke vector've smudge or blend effect on his skin color but not on itachi vector
- fuku and you surely've different way in vectoring cuz of this viewers can see 2 different vector
- sasuke's outline vector've some weakness.

my suggestion :
- if you short in time, you may fix itachi vector's outline, make its curves more smoothly, and gave some smudge on his skin so the vector matched with sasuke's (but beware the result may not satisfactory)
- or you may vector sasuke in your own way.
- if you really want the best result, vector sasuke and itachi using shape layer technique (this surely cost alot of time)

again, sorry if you find that my comments too harsh"

its brand new media storange and noone knows how to make illegal or legal copy of this media yet except Sony now.
So i guess no mod-chips, why? we play PS3 using Blue-Ray.
Maybe there's mod-chip for PS3 in several years later if they know how to make illegal copy of Blue-Ray"

Valkyrie Profile

2 years 10 months ago

"Well, its Valkyrie Profile Silmeria. Valkyrie Silmeria herself sealed inside princess of uh.. forgot the country name by Odin.

Graphic sure is great (well, who doubt square-enix)

the battle system same as PS Valkyrie Profile, four char in party, each character using triangle, x, square and circle for attacking. PWS (Purify weird Soul) gauge and AP gauge (i dont really know about this one, i red that this gauge have something to do with attacking, magic and using PWS gauge.

about exploring dungeon, kinda same like old valkyrie profile but of course there's some upgrade like change position to enemy location by shooting 'em so you can reach higher or unaccessable location.

the rest, i forgot what red and where did i put that magazine?

btw, i heard they remake PS Valkyrie Profile Lenneth to PSP, they add some features and remake its scene just the same as Valkyrie Profile Silmeria (battle system and the rest just the same as the old one)"

$900!!!!!

2 years 10 months ago

Firefly3D
They estimated the materials and manufacturing costs could approach $900 per unit. That doesn't mean they'll sell it for that on the release date, that wouldn’t be a wise move on their part.

And like someone said manufacturers typically sell new game consoles at a loss initially to gain market share so they can make a profit later by selling software.

I'm withholding my judgment on whether I’m buying one or not until I see it action, who knows, it might be worth it


Yeah, i agree with Firefly3D. And maybe PS3 lifetime much much longer than PS2 as we can see PS3 capability, anyway who knows, just wait and see the day PS3 released"
