No I didn't receive any message, actually except my two recent ones my whole
galley got deleted and then restored, except those two. Anyway thanks a lot,
that was fast!
After the recent issue with MT, almost all my gallery disappeared and came back,
but it's still missing my 2 first submissions here (over 175weeks old, so I
guess that's why).
the other one was also an evangelion fanart and was named "Ayanami
Rei" if I remember well. That's it, thanks for your time! (I did read the
announcement so I hope I did this right lol).
Ah and not that it matters but it's quite funny since the "purge" my
submission count stayed at 2
Getting used to a tool takes time. Getting really good at it even more. There is
no limit to learning in art, pushing it you can be fine all your life with a
basic pencil >xD. So yeah, if you're limited by your tool you must be quite
good already.
That being said, there are things on which you can't cheat, like values, paper
quality and more than all when you use colours. And yeah that also includes
digital art, you cant even compare paint to PS lol.
Most of the times there are alternatives, like free softs for digital art, or
stretching your canvas yourself and so on...
Haha that was funny. Some nice tips I guess, although I don't think you can
really separate drawing in steps as you could for walling. Honestly, as long as
you have some pencil and paper, just draw like you feel and that's the best tip
ever (after the music tip maybe ). Try
to understand your own art, and read in others the meaning of their pencilwork.
Try to express something, there is no good or bad technique, just have your own.
Honestly drawing isn't about throwing a few tutorials together.
What zephryn said about finger smudging is true, but it is still the most basic
way to get some smooth shading, you just have to be careful enough.
Ha and I don't think having a lot of different pencils and other stuff isn't
really important, at least at my level I don't need it yet , since I still have
a lot to learn with a classic pencil .
Oh well still nice to see some doujin oriented threads around
Drawing hands is an art on its own. Like a lot said already, practice a lot with
a reference ( your own hand is most times enough, though it can become tricky ).
Once you understand the basic shapes, you should get some decent results.
Practice on the proportions too, comparing the size with the face is a good way
to go. And don't forget that a woman's hand is different from a man's hand.
Finally, I have to say I think hiding hands is a shame. It's one of the most
expressive parts of the body and can easily become an effective focus point on
any picture. That being said, I've still a lot of trouble with it myself,
especially with "extreme" poses ... *sigh*

what ended the world for gods sake >.<
Everything you need to know whas said in the serie and/or manga. I really don't
see anything to add to it, that's why I hope the new ova's and the film won't
screw up the whole story.
@_@ Crazy idea, but I like it ! Yup,
I'm sure the collaboration between the different parts would be interesting.
Hehe the classes descriptions are really funny too. Now the problem is finding
enough time to be able to participate .

I love drawing so much I can't describe it, hum so much that I hate it !
Quote: Anyway,I think,it's normally
if u saw the other work that look much better than ur work & u'll think, ur
work so poor
lol, that's so true, but I do something else too : I compare what I did to what
I wanted to draw, and then I mostly realize it's crap
. Well, I use that feeling to kick me up too .
But sometimes, I guess I'm to harsh on my own art, actually I keep redrawing the
same pic since weeks and don't submit it since I don't get what I want @_@ (
yup, I'm crazy )
I don't think ppl should compare these two masterpieces. Both seem to have some
common points on the surface, but the storyline and the themes aborded are
completely different. I agree with keiyosu about the brilliant ending of Eva.
Though I can understand ppl don't like it, since like it was said in an Eva
review here on MT, it sacrifices the entairtaining value. To me, Rahxephon is my
fav anime ever, mostly because of the consitent quality and the themes of art
and love. Eva is something apart, like a philosophic essai of a genius which was
greatly misunderstood, the show isn't overrated, it's just that a lot of ppl
like it for what it isn't supposed to be .
Hum, I don't think it's about a plot or something, it looks more like a dream...
It expresses strong depressing feelings, I think that's the point. Things like
this, the more you think about it the less you understand . I
found it interesting, you just have to watch it in a special mood
HL 2 could have been better of course but I think doom3 doesnt stand a chance
against it. The graphics were top-notch but that's about it, and hl is not ugly
either ^^.
The scary side comes from over scripting which becomes boring after few play
hours. You hear a sound...you fire with your shotgun behind you...done. There
were some interesting parts, especially the beginning but most time no real
challenge or innovation. At least you see a bit more AI in HL 2 and the physics
allow some fun in the gameplay, so not all the fights are the same. So if you
want to play the game more than once, I recommand half-life ( length is average
for both, though you can finish them quite fast).
Doom3 hasn't a scenario in my opinion so I won't compare that .
The cinematic storyline with the use of almost realistic facial expressions is a
great point for hl2.
But then I have to agree, the two games are of great quality but Doom3 seems a
lot more "finished" , while installing itself is a pain in hl2 ( for
non-steam users ). In the end it's a matter of tastes...
Well, Susan is on my f-list and I'm sure she never wanted to do something bad.
But one thing is sure, each time I came check out my notifs, I could be sure
there were some walls from her. Cute girl and mostly simple bg. I'm not a waller
and I can't say if they were stock photos or filters but I have to agree with
the mods that even if some looked nice they didn't show a lot of efforts. Even
Susan-chan commented on some of her walls as simple or quickly done. A lot of
ppl like her walls ( personnally I added her to my f-list because she's kind,
not because of her walls ) and I'm sure she likes walling, but obviously not for
artistic reasons. I don't mind her enjoying the level-system, but I can
understand that annoys some ppl. The only problem is that her walls stayed too
long before beeing deleted, the rules were here since the beginning but were
really applied only recently. So instead of having a few walls deleted at the
beginning, she received a lot of feedback and obviously didn't think she was
doing something wrong... until she got the mass deletion. So, I can understand
that she didn't .
But she wasn't banned for that. The mods gave her her chance, the issue is that
she didn't took the time to learn from it and started the same thing again...
The mods do a great job and haven't the time for this. I miss her and she was
improving but she didn't need to do it that way since it was against the rules,
and I have nothing wrong to say about the mod's attitude. They don't want to be
rude, they just can't talk to you for ages about each deletion, ppl should
involve themselves more and read the rules/faqs/threads before making the mods
responsible for everything.
ps: I really think it's funny when ppl come complain about their wall which
needed so much time to make ( like 1 hour ) while there are a lot of art in
other sections which are completely ignored though they involve days and even
weeks of work (I'm not talking for me, I receive far enough feedback).
Just thought of something else : films by Satoshi Kon could convince too, all
are masterpieces, really interesting to watch and serious enough to make anyone
forget about the "childishness". ( Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress,
Tokyo Grandfathers... )
PS : I must disagree with the RahXephon Movie, I don't think it's meant for ppl
who haven't watched the serie ( which I recommand of course )
Yeah, tutorials are not really needed since you can find them somewhere else.
But as Korgie said, we are an anime art community, mostly focused on wallpapers,
so it would be nice if MT had some originals tuts.
I mean, the reviews weren't needed, since there are a lot of specialized sites
around but it's still a nice add to MT, and it's not even directly related to
the anime-art as these tuts would be.
So I still think it would be a nice feature to encourage great wallers from MT
to share some personal tricks with the other members.
Hum, I guess everything from Ghibli would do. Mostly because they're all of
great quality, are films ( since it would be harder to make someone who is
anti-anime watch a whole serie ) and the themes are interesting for most ppl. If
they're not against sci-fi, I guess classics like Akira and Ghost in the Shell
should be able to convince too
.
Hum, about the lvl 50 idea, I think it would be better to let the mods judge
according to the case. I mean ppl like Sir-Boingal0t are not lvl 50, though
their walls are amongst the best. Ok, that's more like an exception I guess
That's a great suggestion. And I think with the pinned subject 'Post tutorial
application here' like Korgie said, there wouldn't be so many rip problem,
anyway it would be easier to point them out than with the reviews for example.
Quote by zdenekA small intermezzo: They
call my site shitty. Of course I don't have as complex CSS as them, but this
site is optimised for speed and has to offer data, not spiffy looks. And my
links are actually visible! Theirs aren't! And also notice how I didn't call
their site's layout badly. Don't even try to request a link, if you aren't
someone who is still on my side.
Now he even goes against MT
rofl he is really crazy. Just read all the crap here.

kill that SOB!
(Chorus): Ripper! Thief! Die in Hell! ...
Do you get it now? They still have everything what they had before and I didn't
save praises. Somebody just cannot stand not having more than
others.

I have a link to one of the two thanks to a notification:

Hum, I don't know but I like the art too. I think you should ask Nuriko since it's her site ^^.
Yeah, some AMVs are really great. My fav is Euphoria/Rahxephon, I think that's the one you mentionned. There are a lot of others which are awesome too, just search for AMVs made by Koopiskeva, AbsoluteDestiny, Vicbond007, Kusoyaro, Pianos, Tyler_yj, PoD...

Hum haven't seen that much, but I think I will go for Battle Royale, and all films of or with Kitano...
Recently, yup Casshern was quite cool
I have them all since there are published in France, Shirow stuff is quite easy to find, but hey if you feel like sharing with others why not
