[SIZE=1]Actually, Annie, I didn't even know Joe was a part of MAMA. Hell, I hardly knew who was a part of it until recently. I just want to say that not all the members are unhappy with all of the mods. I myself am not. In fact, there are only a couple that I feel have been given positions that I feel others could have done better. I talk to quite a few of the mods and consider a few of them friends. They do a great job, but my main concern was the fact that members, like JJ, Sakura, The Boss etc who have been on the Boards for a long time, have had consistent post quality and always follow the rules don't get recognition they deserve. I felt I had to say something as one of the members of the group you're having a go at, because you're grouping us all together. Not everyone has an extreme problem with the system here and I'm a little saddened that you felt it necessary to place us all together. I'm not having a go at you because I still consider you a friend, I just didn't want to be placed with something I didn't actually believe. I know you?d do the same if someone did the same to you. There are some points of Joe's post that I agree with and others I don't. I believe post quality above all matters on this board and age shouldn't be a factor. However, as I said earlier, I think that members who have been here longer, are fantastic posters and wonderful people also deserve some recognition and I feel that some have been unfairly overlooked. Yes, I am a little bitter. I admit that, because I'm the kind of person who wants attention. MAMA was a way for me to vent that frustration and I guess it was a little childish, but perhaps that's the kind of person I am. I really don't want to get anyones back-up, so I really hope I haven't offended anyone with what I've said.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Right, then, here you go: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/7ff890cd.jpg[/IMG] I probably could have chosen something a little more difficult, but nevermind. [B]Edit:[/B] Aaryanna, you got it in one. Well done. ^_^ [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I just wanted to add before voting gets into full spin: [B]sakurasuka, your piece is [I]amazing[/I][/B]. We really do have such different styles, you're is so clean and soft while mine is just...loud, heh. I'm really glad I got to face you in this final round, seeing as we both use Paint Shop Pro and we're in the minority for that respect. *bows*[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Oowah, this round was so much fun~ I've gotta say, I'm really happy with the picture. Moreso because I made all the brushes used by hand (yes, by hand) by flicking ink over paper, scanning it and converting it. =D Makes me feel like a mother to these pixels, or some such. Anyway, here's the picture. I'm posting it early incase I need to make any changes. Delta, I know you said no solid borders and that my border is solid...but I thought it was funky and a break from what I normally do, so hopefully it's okay. I hope so. =/ [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/finalround.png[/IMG] I'm loving the addition of Iruka, by the way. It inspired me to use dear Ebisu.

[SIZE=1]I think you mean the Portfolio section on theOtaku.com? You should have been a mite clearer in your first post, but I guess that's what you mean. From what I remember, theOtaku requires about a day of waiting for a picture to be reveiwed and then accepted by the fanart moderators, who then allow it to go through. If they don't think it's suitable or doesn't fit the criterior then it won't be posted. That's how I always understood it anyway. If you think your pictures should be accepted I suggest getting in touch with theOtaku fanart staff, they can help you more than people on the 'boards. Hope that was what you actually meant =/[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I'm not big on football, but I've watched some of England's games. I can't sit and watch a full match or I get bored, but so far I've been around for the goals, which is lucky. =D I was happy with the result today, because it showed weaknesses in our team that need to be overcome. Most people assumed that Trinidad and Tobago would be an easy team to play, but [spoiler]it was only right near the end of the second half that England's two goals were scored. (Both players who scored, Crouch and Gerard, play for Liverpool. Har har, sock it to 'em lads.)[/spoiler] I'm also supporting South Korea because I [strike]think some of the players are hot[/strike] like to have more than one option. ^_~ They're playing this Sunday, I believe? Against France? And am I the only one who finds ?football fever? infectious? I don?t watch any games during the year, but as soon as England scored their first goal today my hands were in the air and I was cheering. I?d barely been watching for ten minutes =/ Strange, strange game.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Yee~ Advent Children was such a beautiful movie~ In fact I think doing this request has made me want a Kadaj banner for myself. ^_^; I hope these are okay, in any case. I had some fun playing around. [B]Banner-[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/KURA_BAN.png[/IMG] [B]Avatar-[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/kura_avi.png[/IMG][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Urf...too many good artists. x_x Excuse the linkage, but most of my pictures would be too big. [URL=http://www.deviantart.com/view/34769575/]Imric[/URL] [URL=http://www.deviantart.com/view/31970880/]Imric- Profile Page[/URL] [URL=http://www.deviantart.com/view/31381974/]Ezekiel and Scream[/URL] [URL=http://www.deviantart.com/view/31970617/]Scream[/URL] So there's a selection of media. Ink, Copic Marker, digital and pencil. I hope these are okay >

[SIZE=1][U][B]Name:[/B][/U] Shing Wen [B][U]Birthdate:[/U] [/B] January 4th 2003 [18] [U][B]Gender:[/B][/U] Male [U][B]Username:[/B][/U] Juan Feng (Joo-an Fong) [B][U]Appearance:[/U][/B] [URL=http://hyung-taekim.org/displayimage.php?album=11&pos=3]Shing Wen[/URL] Those are his clothes in game. Out-of-game, he sticks to jeans and sleeveless shirts. His hair, facial features and body structure are the same, though. (Except for the pointy ears >>) [U][B]Faction:[/B][/U] Wind [U][B]Class:[/B][/U] Fighter [U][B]Weapon:[/B] [/U] The ones shown in his appearance picture. They are two large, albeit short, blades and can also be used to deal blunt damage if he keeps them sheathed. [U][B]Known Spells:[/B][/U] [B]Tornado Strike- [/B] Shing can rotate his body at high speed using the magic of wind. He holds his swords out at arms length, becoming a slicing tornado for 15 seconds. Afterwards, however, it takes a while for him to regain full footing. Usually used for a finishing blow or a desperate last attempt. [B]Return Blade-[/B] Using a strong string that attaches his blades' sheath to his belt, Shing can toss his sword and manipulate the wind to control the blade as it's in flight. This skills requires effort and practice to perfect, but Shing has learnt it pretty well and uses this as an opening strike on a charging enemy. [B]Sonic Boom-[/B] Shing has taken months to perfect this skill and still has trouble with it sometimes. It involves a huge amount of wind energy being gathered before Shing is blown forward by the force. The rush of wind combined with his two swords pointed toward his enemy is a deadly combination. It's highly inacurate and one foot out of place could cause Shing to throw himself headfirst into the dirt. [B]Air Thin-[/B] This is a minor spell that is easy to cast. It simply 'thins the air', making it extremely easy for Shing's swords to move. He can make high speed combos using this technique. Shing also combines sword art with martial arts in game and tries not to rely on his magic-based skills too much. [U][B]Skill Level:[/B][/U] Shing has been playing almost since the game was released. He was a game addict before hand and for months eagerly awaited for the release of EVIO. For the first couple of weeks the stores were sold out immediately, but he eventually got his hands on a copy and has been addicted ever since. The reason for his small amount of spells is because he prefers relying on his sword and body skill rather than magic. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]So I decided to revive this thread, even if it was on the second page >< Arf, don't eat me, Retri. [B]Rock Lee[/B] [IMG]http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/2715/love4zh.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/Banners/fangirls.png[/IMG] XD I love this picture of him so much, I just [I]had[/I] to do something with it. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/Banners/determination.png[/IMG] [B]Uchiha Sasuke[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/Banners/reachforthesky.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/Banners/sasuke.png[/IMG] [B]Random[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/Banners/da_vinci_code_chica5.png[/IMG] Mmm, Silas~ >_> Thanks in advance for looking and any comments. They're always appreciated~[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Bwee, I couldn't resist a request with orange in it~ I know you said about using a small font for all four words, but RAGE looked pretty good in big, eroded letters. [B]Banner-[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/illusion_rage.png[/IMG] [B]Avatar-[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/avi_illusion.png[/IMG] If you could upload them to your own hosting site or use the OB attachment URL, that would be great. Hope they're okay![/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Just letting you know that I'll be signing up for this--My computer bombed me out yesterday before I could finish and I was too angry to get back on >< This is a really good idea, White, a fascinating concept. I don't think I was in the other Elements RP, so hopefully I can get into this one.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Eeyah, so cute~ Those scan lines are such a lovely touch! To be honest, I tried to incorperate that crying picture into a banner and couldn't, so really well done!

[SIZE=1]So, I'm getting bored with the banners I'm doing for myself and I've been out of inspiration as of late. I'd love it for one of you talented people to do a set for me~ I'm attaching some pictures that you could use, but if you have better that's fine, too. I was hoping for maybe the sad side of Lee, or his sad memories. I'm still pretty far bak in the series but now that I know what he went through as a little kid I love him even more ;_; So, if you could have the phrase 'The boy I used to be' on the banner somewhere that would be nice. Anything else is up to you, really, but I'd love for this banner to show something from his past. Thanks so much! Note: I know I attached quite a few pictures, but you don't have to use all of them. They're more to give you an idea of the side of Lee I'd like to show.

[SIZE=1]Well, marriage isn't a big thing for me. I mean, I'd like to get married but there's a pessimistic side of me that thinks it may not be worth it if the relationship ends badly. If I'm not married splitting up won't be as hard. But still, I don't have a problem with moving in with someone. I stayed with Trevor (Onix) for two weeks last year and we got on great. He even told me (jokingly, I hope) that "If I can spend two weeks with you and your mum, I'm pretty sure I can handle anything in this relationship." I think it's true, too, and I love him more from having met him. We had a chemistry and I think that's all that matters when you're considering being around someone else for sustained periods of time. I do like my own space, however, so I think if anyone is considering living with someone, married or not, there should always be somewhere that each of them can go by themselves to just chill out and read a book or something.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I have to agree with Boo. I was hoping to do something fun for this round if it was going to be my last. Now I'm just dissapointed and don't really care if I go on. =/ I wish you guys could have made some effort and come up with something original.[/SIZE] [CENTER][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/Image1.png[/IMG][/CENTER]

[QUOTE=The Boss][color=dimgray][size=1] Now here you guys go. Your gonna have fun on this one. [URL=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/Cybernator/12GB.jpg]Twelve Gauge Baby[/URL] He wears what he's wearing, though feel free to locate him anywhere. [/color][/size][/QUOTE] [SIZE=1][STRIKE]Claim'd. Won't be done as fast as usual, I'm going to try Cell Shading him when I'm done. Glad I finally got one of your characters![/STRIKE] Edit: I'm sorry, Mike, but I don't think I can touch a character without making him at least somewhat feminine. *sigh* I'm working on the CG now, but here's the lineart. Enjoy! [CENTER][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/twelvegaugebaby022.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] My character [B]Blayze[/B] is your next mission. He has black hair and pale skin, apart from that, go wild.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Don't know if I can make 20, but you never know. I think some of these may be a little stupid because I'm right in the middle of my final high school exams. Some things that are keeping me going now may not apply in a months time, heh. 1. [B]My mum[/B]- She's my best friend and I honestly have no idea what I would do if I couldn't talk to her. 2. [B]Trevor[/B]- Because he's wonderful and squishy and I love him.

[SIZE=1]Actually, I always thought that Knighty-chan was a guy. His username is too manly for a girl to use it. Then again, I don't suppose many girls would opt for Methuselah, Gabriel or Ezekiel, either >_> And I always thought you were a girl, Delta. Just a very [STRIKE]butch[/STRIKE] confident one. ^_~ (I kid.

[SIZE=1]Well, people still think I'm a guy most of the time (and I actually like that). I feel kind of sorry for Trevor...people are probably convinced he's gay. XD I think what Dagger said about girls having cute anime boys and guys having cute anime girls is pretty amusing, really, because it does stand true. I think I've noticed that lots of males have 'darker' signatures, if you get my meaning. Whether it's some threatening quote from an anime, a more 'action filled' banner or just some writing saying how they like to push old people over. Girls seem to have a lot of 'I love ????' and '????? is so hot! :animestun :animeblus :animeshy: :catgirl: :animenose ' Of course I'm talking about the younger members here, as I think that's where it's easier to distunguish gender (not all the time, of course). When older teens type they seem to have moved on from their young obsessions and act pretty equal. I know I usually RP as a male character and I don't act very feminine, so I totally get why people think I'm male and I can't blame them. I think because this forum is pretty mixed with regards to subject matter also adds to the fact that genders are easily confused. If you only see someone giving their opinion on a subject it isn't easy to suss their gender. I guess people will judge by signatures and usernames when it comes down to that.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Even if I wanted to, there would be no hiding in the church for me. I had two of my GCSE exams (aka [I]really big important ones[/I], for Americans) today and it only occured to me during the second one that it was the 6/6/06 today. Then I remembered that The Omen was out and was happy, as I want to see that movie =D I'm not a very superstitious person so the fact that this date is a number associated with Satan doesn't really bother me. I guess I could understand why really superstious people would be worried, but... *shrugs* It's just a number, in the end. Why is 666 an evil number anyway? I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain to me. =/[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I'm quite a mix, I think, though I have been told that Temari is pretty close to my personality. Cocky, confident, sarcastic etc. I see some Shikamaru in me, personally, because I just...can't be bothered with things, and it's always because I find myself thinking 'It's too hard' or 'It's not worth it'. But yeah, Temari is as close as you'll get to me, I imagine. Looks wise I think I'm pretty close to Kairi from Kingdom Hearts. We have the same hair and such, but Im not quite as cute or girly as her, heh.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][quote name='CoLoR_Me_EviL][COLOR=Indigo][FONT=Trebuchet MS] Kimi to iu hana is my favourite song by them[/FONT'][/COLOR][/quote] Bwee! Mine too~ I have two of their albums, Sol-Fa which has Rewrite on it and Kimi Tsunagi Five M, which has Kimi to Iu Hana, Understand, Flashback (another favourite) and many other amazing songs. They, along with Orange Range (Asterisk, Viva Rock), are in my top five favourite bands because as you mentioned, Kita, their songs are totally addictive. I adore Gotoh, too, he's dreamy. But of course, that's not why I'm so into the band :rolleyes: It's funny, though, I think Haruka Kanata is one of their less impressive songs, compared to others on their albums. After the first couple times of hearing it I found it boring, but I can listen to Kimi to Iu Hana on repeat for hours. (And I have, too.)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][quote name='Corey][size=1']I believe in recycling, so I hope that my soul would be funneled back into another body so it wouldn't go to waste.[/size][/quote] That's pretty much where I stand, too. But as Retribution said, there's no possible evidence for an afterlife of any sort. People can only have theories and guesses. I know I don't believe in Heaven or Hell, as I'm pretty much an Atheist, but I'm sure there's [I]something[/I] else for our souls after we die.[/SIZE]
