Hope you have fun wherever you're going. ^_^ Looking forward to when you get back. The new layout is a really pretty and bright. Really nice work~

I've been drawing since I was in 1st grade. So I have been drawing for 18 years. But I didn't become really 'serious' until 1995 when Sailormoon came out. That was my inspiration to draw anime. I started drawing with adobe in high school and became much better when I finally owned it myself.

Pretty Cure is okay. It's really repetitive. It's like Sailormoon. The beginning builds up the characters and introduce to the enemies. Then you have filler eps and then some battles, then more fillers, then the ending. But it's fun to watch if you have nothing else to watch. The sequel, Max Heart, is a lil better since the plot gets a lil boost and you get interesting developments. Pretty Cure Splash Star, honestly, is like Pretty Cure, plot wise, only they have different girls. Still, I watch it. Heheh~ But all in all, it's not too bad.

Yeah~ Congrats, minna-san. All of them are really pretty.

I really feel your pain. *huggles* I was upset when I lost everything on my hard drive. Ganbatte ne~ I look forward to the finish product. ^_^

Omedetou, minna-san! ^_^ Everyone had really nice layouts.

In comparison to most of the movies, I love the ending in this one. Super sweet. Shows the innocence of love. The movie was very well done in showing the pains of growing up and trying to discover what our niche is. I like Mononoke too even though didn't care for the ending too much. But I like the strong women present in the film. Even though it's not listed, I like Nausicca and My Neighbor Totoro too.

It's good for your first try but there are a few problems. First, it's really blurry. The characters aren't seen clearly at all. You can try vectoring it or find a larger a picture to use. Second, you don't have much of a bg. All it is a orange bg with inuyasha and kagome in front of it. You have to put a lot of effort into the bg in order for it to get accepted. The forum has some useful links to tutorials that can help you.

Sorry for being such slacker. I haven't been as active in making wallies as I should be but I'll try my best. ^_^

For the first one, why do you have most of your wallie filled with the moon? This shows that you couldn't think of anything for the bg and just simply placed a moon that appears weird in comparison to the girl. It has a lovely look so I think if you shrink the size of the moon and recreate the bg following the look of where the girl is, this will really look nice. Maybe a space or scenery bg would look good. The area of where the girl is, is really nicely done. I like it. Just add those same effects and it should be fine.

The second wallie is fine as well. The only thing was probably the effect that you used in the bg. This also shows that you just added effects to the bg and added the scan and that was that. Tone down the effects the bit and use some brushes to add effects, you should be fine.

All in all, these are really nice works. ^_^ No worries~

This has a really nice idea. I like the original Kira without the blurriness. I think the realistic bg shows that you didn't put in any effort to the bg. You should keep the bike, but I think a different bg that you created yourself would look really nice.

Heheh~ This sounds really interesting. I think I was around level 120 at the time. All that work. *sigh*

I have to agree as well. Sometimes, I feel that vectors get more attention than a regular fanart. It's definitely much easier to vector than to draw. I think we should really move the vector catergory somewhere else. We should be still be able to submit vectors and the like since people can use it for wallies but it shouldn't be considered part of the doujin cat.

I was in it for a while and that was so hard. We were at at 8 hours a day. But I liked it since I lost weight from all the exercise. Tee-hee~ The routines for the flags were pretty cool to do. I wished I was good at keeping the beat.
