Quote by MapleRoseyay you finished it! aww, for me? >___< *blushes* thanks kit-chan, I love your original works ^__^ the blue-haired girl is so cute, I esp like her expression and her eyes ^^

Glad you like :3
It feels so much better to finish it.

Quote by MapleRosewonderful marker work! I love how you did the ice, it looks shimmery ^__^ The cold blue and the warm yellow work well together. I hope you don't send this one out, it's too pretty >__< (keep it!)

Thank you, Maple!
lol. This is another one that I plan to make copies of and sell, so don't worry. The original's not going through the mail for me. (T'would make me cry if it got torn up in the process or if it was raining somewhere along the transit and ruin the envelope, anyway...)

Quote by MapleRosewoah awesome! I love how you coloured her hair and shaded her kimono, cool pose as well ^^ and the background is simple but neat, looks like an ink drawing. But what I'm really impressed with is the patterns on her kimono, how you modified and bend it according with the flow of the cloth I need to learn how to do that (instead of having flat patterns)... care to give some tips (please) ?

If you're using Photoshop, you can place the pattern in a separate layer, place it over the place you're going to wrap the pattern on then press ctrl+T (or transform). Right click, then choose 'Warp' while on it's transform mode. After doing that, you can 'wrap' the pattern on the place you want to put it in ^-^

Quote by MapleRose<3 the Edge style ^__^ the Kira and Athrun scan is pretty too (Kira looks cute ), thanks for scanning ^^

How long is The Edge: Desire? Is it just like extras to the story?

Thanks.

Mm, it's not very long. The second volume is the last one. Yes, it's like extras, points-of-view from other characters that have had some sort of relationship with Athrun (since The Edge itself is GSD from Athrun's POV), at different points in the series' timeline. The first volume contained those of Shinn, Meer, Cagalli and Rey.

The second volume appears to be more concerned with the portrayal of how the Minerva trio met, and their days in the Academy (middle portion, consisting of three chapters). There is also one chapter with Kira, as well as Dearka & Yzak at the beginning; the volume ends with a chapter on Rey's childhood. It just adds a lot of background to stuff you wouldn't otherwise know, and can be rather...enriching.

...And I think I've blabbered enough.

Quote by MapleRosethe sunset is well-painted, the colours are nice though the clouds are a bit chunky .. I like how you did the sun's reflection on the water though. the texture looks unnecessary and takes away the smoothness and softness of your painting and the scan itself.

Hi, MapleRose-sama,thanx for comment, i removed texture, i hope it looks better now...

Quote by MapleRoseHey flyin', quick question: you started right? what was your reasons behind that? (I'm writing the featured group article for MTM)

merged: 04-25-2008 ~ 09:41am
oh yeah, and when was the group started? can you give me a bit of history for the group? Thanks

Sure! I see you're going on vacation though, maybe already left... so I'll post this in the mod forum in case someone wants to add it in. Hope you have a blast!

Thanks a lot for your nice comment and the fav MapleRose.

Quote by MapleRoseOh right, I just replied in his guestbook to be sure he'd see it

Thanks. I'm if I were to attempt humour, it'd come out like shoujoboy's attempts... or worse DX But I'll try, for you.

See that, sho!? That's some sugar from Maple right thurr...

Anyways, don't be comparin' yourself to sho'... he's clearly misguided about anything outside the US border... more specifically up top.

And I'd know he'd see it because for reasons unknown, we be online all the time.

Hey, wow, thank you so much for faving "Faded Memories", I'm glad you like it, and the 'grudgy' effect... gotta love photoshop texturing for that! XP
