    Quote by karaI 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?


    The 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...

    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


    Well... 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.

    Quote by karaThe 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


    Now 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've started to become a little active in wallpapers and such again and deciede to look in on people I remember on my friendlist, saw your name and wondered "Does she still have my layout?" And voila! You do! This tickles me pink ^_^

    Quote by karaOh... 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?


    For doing Blood Elf? Chapter 3 Page 5, Chapter 18, Page 22, Chapter 18, Page 23, and Chapter 21, Page 02 all have some decent examples. The long thin panels can be vectored to wallpaper proportions for widescreen wall closeups. You're pretty good at backgrounds so... would you like to collaborate on a Blood Elf wallpaper? I do have a couple of other projects on my plate right now... Doing a contest wall for Chamber of Kings, I think I've scratched my Ayanami (07-Ghost) wall idea and I'll stick to my Aizawa (Sukisho) idea due to greater evil and ability to make a prettier vector.

    Plus I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do with it...

    is what I came up with, but it's a little TOO simple...

    Quote by karaI 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


    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.

    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

    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


    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...

    Quote by karaOmg! Yes! It's 1/2 Prince!
    I always imagined Ugly Wolf to be brown-ish, but whatever.
    Awesome job :3 Totally love you for vectoring 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.
