Terra-chan's One Piece Tv Review

Rated: 9

This series has got to be one of the most original I have ever seen in consideration of style, characters, story and humor. The combination is really quite unique and it is very enjoyable to watch, at least if you don't mind something that obviously has a flavor of "Made for kids" even in Japanese, though moreso in the dub with alterations like changing cigarettes into lollipops. If you have any kid left in you to appreciate, you'll certainly appreciate One Piece, but if you can't stand things that are too ridiculously silly (as One Piece can seem at first glance) never fear for there are also very serious moral dilemmas in this series and tragic histories for several characters with many difficult decisions for characters to take.

Terra-chan's Kyou Kara Maou Tv Review

Rated: 8

The story elements of KKM are that of a parody. Every character in this show parodies or is meant to be a generic character to the extreme... It looks like your generic "Hero sent to another world to Save the day" story, but it's not. Instead of being a Holy Warrior, he's a Demon King, instead of defeating demons he's to defeat humans. All of his retainers are different stereotypical bishounen and the women of the castle are very wild and controlling. It's a very fun story that works with all of the general cliches you'd see in a fantasy anime and make them into something you wouldn't expect... or at least, Yuuri doesn't suspect XD. This show likes to turn the most minor insignificant character you encounter into a useful player later in the show.

    Quote by Terra-chanThe Genei Ryodan? *checks her images* I <3 Shalnark, but he's no king, I like Shizuka, but she's a girl, and I greatly dislike Hisoka... I don't like his hair or the fact he dresses like a clown, he's like Kefka (FF6). Now Kuroro Lucifer is so much win... BUT I'd need to find a good image to use and a good theme...


    Lol, right. That's what they were called. I was thinking "Apostle of the stars? No wait, wrong show" =_=;; Speaking of which, if you've watched/read Black Cat, maybe you could do Creed.
    I think there was a really rare shot of Hisoka without his clown make-up in the manga, and I remember thinking "wow he's actually pretty hot!" :D

    Quote by Terra-chanWell... maybe... but not that vector I think... I'd need a new vector because I want a nice quality, and while my sample I showed you is NICE, it's kinda boring too... I want something more interesting and definitely something that shows his evil-ness, like I did with my Aizawa wall. When there is a theme, I run with it. "King of Villains" indicates ultimate evil... and the entry should indicate this. My Ayanami concept focused on "King" alone and Sampling it with friends, they thought he looked more bored than evil, but most people I asked have agreed that my Aizawa wall is definitely the most EVIL entry in comparison to the others. People said Aizawa just looked bored, just like Vincent looked bored. I want to showcase EVIL. Now if it was just brutality... hey I'd be all over using Killua as my subject, but he's not EVIL, he's an antihero, and never once has been EVIL, sadistic and brutal yes, but not evil. Though... hmmm I could do a Masato wall (Mermaid's Scar) but that's so oldstyle that it's probably not very aesthetically pleasing... but I <3 Masato for being evil and a kid... Phibrizzo (Slayers) has the same bonus, but I've done a wall of him already, and good source images are hard. A problem of mine is I like way too many series that do not have complete villains... the bad guys tend to be a benevolent Evil that is following a different path to better the world. Sure as in X/1999 that involves the annihillation of the human race - but it's to benefit the WORLD.


    I think I saw a couple of pretty evil looking Ayanami scans in the 07-Ghost gallery.
    It's pretty hard finding evil bishes with an evil expression. Most villains are portrayed as ugly. Took me ages to come up with Ayanami =.=;;
    Oh oh! If you're thinking of HxH, what about Hisoka? Or someone from that group?

    Quote by Terra-chanNow see, that's exactly the quality I lack in doing things... I start something and I look to BAM be finished right away. I have tried vectored scenics before to poor reception. And I do not like the idea of only vectoring a scene for a contest... A scene requires no thought besides "Oh hey, I can add X for texture." I like doing collage walls because of this, because they are simple, but it requires thought for what scenes to use for the right impact, and how should they be positioned?
    As for close-ups... well, I love to vector and taking an itty bitty frame and turning it into an HD wallpaper... well such a thing requires skill and vision. I sigh when there is a lot of quality lost... maybe I should post the Ayanami vector and my source image for an example? Like so. If you still want to, I give you permission to use this image for a contest entry, if you can get over the lack of quality.
    But yes, the same sample you mentioned is also my favorite for 1/2 Prince... now waiting so long...? Well not sure about that, I may vector many items and make wallpapers myself in that time... but that does not stop you from taking my vectors and making your own creations with them when you can I guess :3


    I usually find that when I'm scenically challenged, I use other scans and photos as my reference. They really help.
    Doesn't the CoK contest allow 2 entires? Why not submit an Ayanami wall as well?
    Yay! Keep submitting 1/2 vectors and walls <3 MT definitely needs more of them :3

    Quote by Terra-chanYou really have a way of bringing things to life that I don't... I wonder if we worked together if I'd actually hold you back :( Uploaded 1 hour and already put into elite... >_> *slinks back to the Underappreciated where she belongs* I don't even follow this series but I still say this is a nice paper.


    Oh, I just realised that you ran Underappeciated with Misa-chan. It was like -the- group to be in back in the days. I can't believe so many years have passed already @_@

    The second last picture is the nicest I think. I generally like to have at least half of the character's body visible. If it's just a close-up of their face, you have to add a huge amount of detail yourself unless you want it to look over simplistic.
    Lol lol! I was going to do an Ayanami wall for CoK contest. But I seirously don't think I would finish it unless I had another 2 months or something and I was feeling uninspired for the background haha =.=;;
    Oh my gosh, I have no idea how many years ago I watched Sukishou... I don't remember anyone except the 2 main characters.
    For that one, I'd probably enlarge Ayanami to take up more space. Maybe vector the interior of his battleship or if you're feeling lazy, just do some pillars and a omnious looking sky lol. And voila!
    Hmm, I just started a collab with Kitten, and I think after we finish that, things at uni is going to get really hectic. But if you're happy to wait till er.... around November, I'd love to do a 1/2 Prince collab :D

    Quote by nikko3Hello everyone?

    I'm niko and I want to join this group. But I'm artistically blind, which mean I don't have any artwork submission in MT. Would you take me in?

    Well, I am a big fan of KHR anime and manga. Just today I got my first Mukuro avatar and Hibari signature images. They are my fav guys. Teehee~ XD I think this group would be the best place to suit my taste. I like bishonen and I would be very please to be here with everyone. :D

    Thank you. niko.

    ps/ I'll wait for your permission to join. But I hope I can make it into the group. :)

    I'm not an authority or anything, but I think the means of your participation in Chamber of Kings can be construed as your comments and appreciation of other members walls. You may not feel like you have anything constructive to say when you feel you lack talent in the creation department, but I personally appreciate it most when people point out design elements that they like best, because I know my shortcomings all too well...

    But that's just my own opinion. I do say you should apply no matter, since you have stated your case.

    Oooo and perhaps another thing you can do is make requests. Be an idea person for someone else's talents, like suggesting {Series - Character - Subject}, like...
    {Host Club - Tamaki and Haruhi - Roses} End result Haruhi and Tamaki Roses by Terra-chan Haruhi and Tamaki Roses by Terra-chan blam.
    And if you can't think of any particular subject, you can suggest images you'd like to see at least :3

    Terra-chan,

    Hi there! :) Thanks for writing in my guestbook. Since, I'm artistically blind I would like to learn how to appreciate a certain artwork. They are made from scratch so I think I'll be able to learn by being a part in a group. Somewhere that involve artwork and I think Chamber of Kings would be the best place for me to learn and discover new talents in MT. Although, I can't be of much help but I think someone who appreciate artwork would do no harm eventhough the person is not contributing to the group. Thank you for your suggestion. That is truly what I'm seeking for in this group.

    I'll try to apply for the group. At least, I'm trying and thanks for your encouragement. :)

    Oh, I see.. that's a very good suggestion! I will try to do little by little because I'm not that familiar with everyone here. But I'll be happy to see my ideas being cooperate into an artwork. That's a great feeling to have. Another great idea! I thought requesting only work for avatar, signature image and layout. I didn't know I can request for an artwork. Thank you so much, Terra-chan! :D I would not know I can do so much in MT. I thought, I'm just going to spend my time in forum site. Well, at least I have some place I can visit often other than forum site. X-P

    Thank you for your brilliant suggestion! :) niko.

    Well I've found plenty of nice scenes, it's just a matter of whether they can be used well in the composition of a wall... like the first time Prince is called Blood Elf is a nice pic, but it's vertical and has clipping a la here. I have a little skill in doing "completion" but I prefer not to push my luck with some things... And on top of that... what should be done as a background? I'm pretty bad at that... I really like simple walls, and I love making actual scenic walls... but I have no skill in creating scenic backgrounds... I work best in doing artsy brush BGs and maybe add a nice border like people's fave wallpaper of mine.


    Oh... hands are like one of the hardest things to reconstruct. For a scan like that I would probably make a desolated battlefield kinda of background and add some flames for extra touches XD What other pictures did you find?

    I read all the cover spoilers. Are you saying you read the novels on babelfish translations? That'd be so evil as it translates names and such too ^_^; But I know what you mean about waiting on the manhua chapters... and I'm also waiting on the novel chapter translations at http://halfprince.wordpress.com I'd love to see it as an anime to boot, it's just that much fun. Similar to .hack but not afraid to be involved in both real life and the game! All of the series of .hack downplay real life except for the ones that came with the games... but those are rather negligible since they're oneshot ovas... and .hack is sinister, while Half Prince is FUN!

    I'm really tempted to make a Blood Prince Wall :3 it'd be a lot of work though and would take looking at manga frames for the best effects...


    I think it was google translater. Someone linked it on mangafox forums. Yeah I kind of spoiled myself on all the spoilers flying around forums, I totally can't wait for them to be turned into Manhua. Omg! If it ever gets turned into an anime, I think I would die happy XD Have you read chapter 35? Prince's new armour is <3 I've only watched .hack//sign, it was pretty good but I agree, the atmosphere seemed to be one of the more depressed type. 1/2 Prince is just crazy and a lot of fun XD
    It would be awesome if you're going to make a Blood Prince wall XD But Yeah, it's hard finding material to use. Manhuas don't seem to have much in terms of pretty spash pages, etc compared to mangas :( *starts a petition for a 1/2 Prince artbook* Lol XD

    Thanks for the comment and fave on my PH wall! Glad you liked it :)

    I read the novel translation and found a site that was in chinese and translated it with babelfish, plus when Yulian describes him, she says he has lovely Silver Fur. So yeah, I did my research. According to the novels, Gui's hair is supposed to just be black, and the novels make Lolidragon's hair pink... So yeah ^_^; It's quite the jumble... The site I looked at indicated something about Doll wearing Pink, but she's only portrayed in Blue on the Novel covers... So I had to do a bit of artistic license on the colors. The clothes portrayed in the novels are simple and rather boring too... but the visuals is not their focus at all of course.
    Thank you for the comment and fave.


    I tried reading a google-translated version. Half of it was just so wrong that I probably wouldn't be that much worse off trying to figure out the Chinese myself =[ I totally admire your perseverance XD But ahh ok, I guess I got my impression wrong ^_^' I think Lolidragon's hair looks better as dark red like what you did and Doll definitely looks good in pink XD
    From all the spoilers I'm reading, I totally can't wait for the rest of the story to be turned into manhua *_*
    Anyways, I'm really glad to see 1/2 Prince works and it would be awesome to see more XD

    Quote by Terra-chanThis is gorgeous... I am so impressed... I don't think I could have pulled off such a lovely composition. I know what you mean about time... man... you take it into mind to do a vector and days later you're still working on it... and then there's always something you missed when you think you're 'done'.


    Yup, totally agreed =.=; And you kind of lose it after a while cause you've been staring at it for too long @_@
    And thanks for the comment and fav :3 Really appreciated!
