[SIZE=1]I be Gurt! ^_^;; It's a long story that you really don't want to hear, haha. I really like Eyes on Me, the colours are gorgeous, as is the model, but I don't like the text. It looks misplaced and the colour doesn't match with the rest of the banner. It would have looked better in white with a redish glow, me thinks. I

[SIZE=1]Thanks for bumping up the thread, Ichigo. Everyone's been ignoring me *sad* Anyway, I've recently been obsessed with both Anji Mito and Yakushi Kabuto, so I done a couple of images for the latter. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/naruto_kabuto0010.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/naruto_kabuto0017.png[/IMG] c&c please. I actually have quite a few more graphics I made...but since no one's been commenting I can't post them all.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1] Kitty, I am with you all the way. Now, I'm not going to let out my true feelings on this, because I may get flamed by some Christian people, and while I do respect everyone else?s religion (while not agreeing with most of it) things like this just make me sick and in my opinion, Christians do it far too often. I had an argument with my friend a while ago because she was saying, while she has nothing against being gay, it is wrong. I was like: "No....you're totally contradicting yourself there." But she's the kind who never understands when someone is pointing out what she done wrong and she goes off on this big "It's not right because the Bible and God didn't make it that way." I almost slapped her and walked away. Back on topic. Making a camp for this kind of thing is sick, and yes, it is actually something Hitler did. He sent a large number of them into camps to have them eliminated...I can't find the actual figure right now, but it was more than just a couple.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]OOC: Just to let everyone know, I, with Ichigo's permission of course, changed from playing I-No to Anji Mito. My new sign-up is in the Inn already.[/B] A soft wind caught Anji's dark brown hair, ruffling it slightly in the sea breeze. He smiled and closed his dark eyes, tilting his chin up to let the cool wind blow over his face and neck, a refreshing feeling this early in the morning, especially after not sleeping. He kept his fans hidden under his robes, tied to his waist by a light and barely noticeable belt. He had to be careful no matter where he went...especially after finding out that he was a wanted criminal by that bounty hunter. Even his past friend, Chipp Zanuff, had turned against him in all this turmoil. [I]'All I did was survive...'[/I] the smile was swept from Anji's usually kind features and was replaced by a sad frown, his eyes stinging slightly as the memories of his homeland being destroyed caught up with him again. They usually only haunted him in nightmares, but lately he was getting them during the day too, it was beginning to wear him down. He heard a soft footfall behind him and turned sharply, hand poised at his hip, ready to grab one of the Zessen Fans. It was only a little girl, and she looked just as nervous as he did as she stepped forward, a little dog held firmly in her arms. [B]"Mister? Are you okay?"[/B] Anji relaxed and fixed his warm and welcoming smile back in place, spreading out his hand casually to show that he meant no harm. [B]"Yes, I'm fine, what good manners you have."[/B] The girl smiled now and she let the dog down and it quickly scampered over to lick at Anji?s outstretched hand. The man smiled and petted the puppy softly, happy that there was still some innocence in this world. [B]"What are you doing out here, mister?" [/B] the girl spoke up again, edging closer to the sitting Anji as she did so.[B] "Anou....I was just...thinking." "Was it a bad memory? You looked sad."[/B] Anji flinched slightly and the girl noticed, blushing immediately as she realised what she had said, a sad frown spreading over her rosy cheeks. [B]"I'm sorry" I didn't mean..."[/B] [B]"It's okay."[/B] Anji stood and rested a hand on the girl's head, ruffling her shoulder length blonde hair, [B]"Is there somewhere in your village where I can stay?"[/B] [B]OOC Just to let you all know that Anji isn't half way around the world from everyone else. I don't mind where you want to put him, but if someone wants to bump into him, then feel free. Just remember, he?s on the run from the authorities because he?s Japanese. And about the Chipp reference, I found out from playing that Anji taught him Japanese but Chipp eventually tries to take Anji in?.explanation finished.[/B][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Oh God, I [I]adore[/I] Jerry the Loon. I'll be making that noise for the next couple of weeks, you just wait and see. =p I thought Ranger Jameson was done really well, especially since it was your first Flash animation. I've seen others which paled in comparison, the voices were pretty damned cool, too. I think it would be great if you done more of Jerry the Loon, because he's just adorable. I

[SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Anji Mito [B]Age:[/B] Mid twenties [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Nationality:[/B] Japanese [B]Human or Gear:[/B] Human [B]Faction:[/B] Unaffiliated (escaped Japanese survivor) He is searching for the gears, but not to destroy them, merely to learn about them. [B]Personality:[/B] Anji is a warrior who always wears a smile on his face, no matter what the situation. He even takes losing with a smile and is not one to hold a grudge against his enemy. If they beat him, they are stronger, and he can go on living with that knowledge. He is a man of pure Japanese descent and his fighting moves are said to be like "poetry in motion". He is well liked by most people who are on his good side and women are known to find him quite attractive. He?ll sometimes play along with this idea and can occasionally be quite cheeky with a female opponent. [B]Physical Description:[/B] [URL=http://www.guiltygearx2reload.com/images/char/selb12.gif]Anji[/URL] [B]Weapon of Choice:[/B] A pair of [URL=http://ps2media.ign.com/media/news/image/anji/anji_in.jpg]Zessen Fans[/URL]....and occasionally a paper umbrella...but I doubt I'll really use that. [B]Innate Magical Element:[/B] Wind [B]Preferred Jinki (Human only):[/B] None [B]Bio:[/B] Anji escaped Japan before it was destroyed and, being proud of his homeland, was naturally angry but is not out to seek vengeance, It seems he is happy to go on with life, discovering things along the way. He is currently evading capture as the Post-war Admin. Bureau believe he should be taken in to custody, claiming that a Japanese man is dangerous while being left unattended. During his travels, Anji picked up the Zessen fans and learnt to use them with expert skills, using them along with his agility and fluid movements, he can easily take down an enemy without them even knowing what happened. While he hasn't built up on speed, his quick reflexes and steady feet have made him a very formidable foe. Anji enjoys his travels and over the years has spent time in many different towns, taking in as much knowledge as he can and slowly piecing together the puzzle of the Gears. Not playing I-No any more, guys, Spence gave me permission to play as Anji.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]DW, dearest, will we be able to change our entry before the deadline if we come up with something better before then? [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/8d6c2c53.png[/IMG] Hope this is okay, anyway.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I went ahead and done a little graphic for the club. I know it isn't all that good, but it really has helped me climb out of the graphic making rut I was in. :3 I'm happy now. Also learnt a few more tricks with brushes and text, which is always good. Hope you all like. [CENTER][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/1nerissa.png[/IMG][/CENTER] [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Ima...if you would have started off with that I think I may just have given you my vote x.x Just shows you what a few bits of tweaking can do to an image. Gah, I need to start making graphics again or I'm going to be beaten to death by all this amazing talent.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]While I can see what you don't like, Ima, all those things (believe it or not) were intentional. The piece is called "Gift for the Master". Cats are known for bringing mice to their masters as gifts. Ergo-we have a mouse in the pic. It's also a bit of irony thrown in, I guess. The BG was majorly boring, I wanted quite a bit of the blood effect to make it more interesting, though I probably could have used a better brush. Pixelly edges suck, and so does being lazy. 'Nuff said. Now, Sun seemed shocked today when I told him I hadn't been in a graphic making mood...this is why: [CENTER][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/CrucifixCG.png[/IMG][/CENTER] I seriously can hardly move my right hand now, but it was worth it. This is my second ever CG and I think it's a vast improvement on my last one. Only thing I don't like it the line-art, I need to find out how in the world to make it less bitty...maybe Epsilon (my goddess and idol) can help me if she sees this. I am investing in a tablet soon, though, maybe that will help me keep my lines smooth instead of this awful mouse >.< c&c very much appreciated. Note: The character is called Crucifix and she is a variation on my Imi character. She was especially created from an idea Unborn Lord Xion had, I hope she came up to his initial expectation of her. (Original design colours modified, of course.)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Ima: While the background is nice, I don't think using the motion blur on the stock was the best idea as it makes her look a little too soft. Also, I don't think the colour choice you used for the girl makes her stand out very well against the background. Don't like the text, either, very sorry. Rising Sun: I really like the way you contrasted the colours on Link, he looks lovely and sharp. Background is quite cool and fits the grunge theme very well. Also, the text looks nice. One thing I wish you?d done is make the background a little bit darker, not much, but I just think it may have more of an impact. So, Sun gets my vote.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]OOC: You got Imi down excellently, but she isn't leader of the Wild Cats. That place belongs to Zoes.[/B] Imi sighed as she walked into class, ignoring the disgruntled look from her teacher, and slung her bag on the desk with a loud 'thud!? [B]"Kagami-chan, so good of you to-" "Kagami-[I]san[/I], sensei, I prefer 'san'."[/B] The girl sat down and knocked her bag off the desk after taking out her notebook, blowing some hair out of her eyes before looking up impatiently, [B]"Please, continue."[/B] The teacher stood there, shocked for a moment before blushing with anger and turning around to the board, carrying on with the lesson. Imi smirked to herself and started taking notes, while she was an arrogant and overly confident student who frightened a good majority of the teachers, she was in actual fact a hard worker and a very intelligent one at that. Teachers knew by now that, on a bad day, Imi would come in late and act very commanding before settling down. There was no point in giving the gang member a detention or sending her out the room, she'd just ignore them anyway. Eventually, Imi's thoughts drifted to Michiko and she sighed inwardly. The girl was a bit ditzy, yes, maybe had her head in the clouds a little too much.... but she did seem like a good kid who could actually help the gang in the long run. She'd just need a little...fine tweaking. While Imi was not the strongest or the wisest or the leader of the Wild Cats, she held a great deal of influence over the whole situation. She seemed to be able to bend Zoes' will to suit her own needs. The reason for this she didn't know, but as long as it didn't change, the teen didn't much care. She then thought of Raidon, someone who she got on with surprisingly well. Both seemed to be rather quiet at times, and serious...with a terrible tendency to explode when angry. Also, he was a hard worker who agreed with most of Imi's ideas, and visa-versa. They had both decided that it would be a good idea to get the Cats out, away from the town for a day...and most of all, get Zoes away from Inuki because if they weren't careful, one of them would be ending up in hospital soon enough. Of course, neither Imi nor Raidon were too keen on telling their gracious leader their plans as his heart was set on the arcade for the whole weekend, spending all his money (and even some of Bunto's) and trying to beat that damn game. Yes, it was definitely time for the Tiger to take a break. As the lesson went on, Imi slipped back into reality and didn't think much about the Wild Cats, but one thing did seem to resurface in her mind....Inuki. Something about him frightened and intrigued her at the same time and before long, Imi's subconscious had made the definite decision to pay the Stray Dog a visit. [B]OOC: Bah, you know me, I like a bit of a plot twist. =)[/B][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Download Photoshop CS2! You can have the trial for a month, may not be much, but at least it'll let you know if you should spend the money on getting PS. Or you could get PSP9, then I can help you ^_~ But seriously, get Photoshop. Now, onto the matter at hand. [U]?Weaving Dreams[/U] I like this one better than Distortion because it actually looks like a proper, organised splash rather than an experiment. I saw this for your Underground thread and the colours you used really suit the mood and theme for the RP. [U]?Distortion[/U] I don't really like this one, though I think it's due to personal taste, really. I never was a fan of the "Neon Glow" filter and I really do agree with Annie about looking like cells....actually reminds me of those onion skin cells I had to examine once. Considering you haven't really used PS and this was in school, I think you done pretty well. *pat pat* Well done, darling. ^_~[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] I-No [B]Age:[/B] In her 20s [B]Gender:[/B] Female [B]Nationality:[/B] Unknown [B]Human or Gear:[/B] Unknown [B]Faction:[/B] Unnaffiliated [B]Personality:[/B] I-No is a sultry and confident woman who?s good-looking and damn well knows it. She flirts with her opponents and allies alike, taking great pleasure in seeing the men squirm, especially once she?s beaten them into submission. She is a powerful woman who loves what she does, talking and joking with an enemy before she battles them. I-No, while she is self-confident, is by no means arrogant in her approach to life and therefore is always prepared for an enemy to be stronger than her. She seems to very much fight for herself and is almost completely shrouded in mystery.

[SIZE=1]Hm, I'm not overly keen on these pictures, really. I like the simple effects you added and the text, though simple, does suit the images. It just doesn't make me think "Woah....those are AMAZING!!" I do like them, they just aren't anything incredible. Though I guess there really isn't much you can do to make a tree picture 'special', haha.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1] Actually, I think Rising Sun has more of a sentimental meaning to his name *looks at a certain flag* I may be wrong though... ?[B]Retribution[/B] Your banner is awesome. Absolutely and utterly awesome. I think it's got a real painty affect, I can imagine an artist gone crazy and just slapped on all those colours, then put it in a wind chamber! Seriously, that's what it reminds me of. But it looks great, the colours, the text and everything else is just wonderful. Once again you own my skillz. One crit. though, the text underneath "ChampagneSupernova" is very, very hard to read. I had to squint in order to see what it said. ?[B]Rising Sun[/B] You didn't make an abstract banner, you silly boy =P I do adore this banner and if this was a free for all match without any boundaries I would have voted for yours because I just adore the style, the stock and the way you used for simple colours and lighting to give an awesome effect. The text rocks, too. But since it isn't abstract, I can't really vote for you. Shame. *sad* For this match, Retribution gets my vote.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Hey, Baron, South Africa has some bloody good swimmers, too! I'm originally from South Africa, I lived there most of my (15 years) of life. We first lived in Johannesburg, then moved down to Somerset West, Cape Town. It was gorgeous there and you can see why tourists love it, but for people who work there it wasn't all that great on a day-to-day bases. Crime, violence and bias towards bilingual children was a big problem, I knew I wouldn?t get into Uni, for example. So we moved to the UK, now I live in Liverpool. I really hate it and desperately want to move; even though it's great from an education point of view it's just everything else that drives me nuts. Actually, the whole of England drives me crazy, haha. I should probably clear up the fact that I?m actually English and not really of South African blood, both parents are from the UK. In the next two years I should be moving to Australia, Brisbane, I believe. I can't wait ^_^;[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]It's taken me three days to get this image just right ;_; My PSP9 has also been plotting against me. Twice it's frozen when I'd done a load of work and I hadn't saved >.< But finally, it is done. The gift for my wonderful, charming, loving partner-Unborn Lord Xion. You deserve it baby, I just wish I could give you something more. [B]?Gift for the Master[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/GiftfortheMaster.jpg[/IMG] [/SIZE] [SIZE=1]I [I]hate[/I] .jpg files. They are Satan incarnate. *grumbles*[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]*dies* They're gorgeous. ^__^ I really like number one, as that cerise pink is one of my favourite colours. The text is just so simple and pretty, too. It's all over pretty. I'm not too keen in number 2, I think it's just the colour looks a little washes out, is all, not as pretty. Number three is lovely; too, it's so bright and happy! Always a pleasure to see these kinds of banners from you, Retri, especially if they happen to be a gift ^_^; *glomps* *

[SIZE=1]Hey, would you look at that, my Z'oh practically has a clone. *rolls eyes* Some people need to get their own ideas. Hey, I had a load of time on my hands so I made a three part fight sequence! *is a dork* [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/1fight.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/2fight.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/3fight.png[/IMG][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Hee, my character was fun to make. I want him ^_^ [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/1KarPow.png[/IMG] [B]Name:[/B] Kar-Pow-Chiyang-Z'oh! [B]Mood:[/B] Dejected [B]Powers?[/B] Extreme Angst Z'oh will usually be the one who is attacked as he has great trouble in moving. The poor thing isn't quite sure if he's a plushie or a creature and generally rolls around car parks, trying to find someone to love him. Now he just looks dirty and is constantly shunned by the crowds. He tends to win fights without knowing, drawing out long, depressing and angsty stories about his life to his opponent who either gives up and walks away, feels extremely bad for the poor thing....or knocks the stuffing out of him. When Z'oh isn't depressed he's very, very bemused and disorientated.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I like the images, but I think it would have been better if you had them all as one set instead of separate images. My favourite one is ?Silent? because of the way you darkened the image and used the halftones on it. I also like the text very much. Mm hm, yes, Jamie likes shiny things ^___^ Holy and Alone[2] look exactly the same despite the text and I think you should move the "Holy" up because the end of the 'Y' is being cut off and it spoils the finished effect. I also quite like "Alone", it inspires me to create a blog XD It would look great as a Splash image. *

[SIZE=1]These are very pretty, I like them a lot. *cracks knuckles* 1) I like the quote, it reminds me very much of my Internet connection. I hate to say, but I'm an absolute sucker for pixel fonts, I just adore them and I think you made these little fellas stand out so nicely. The image looks like it's been inverted from the brown one at the bottom, which I quite like. It's got a very frosty look to it. The one thing I have to say, and it isn't a criticism, is that in this case I think it would have looked [I]awesome[/I] if you gave the edges of the banner an eroded or misty look rather than a straight rectangle. But, that's just my opinion. 2) Since the image is pretty much the same 'cept for the colours, I wont' go on about it too much, I like the colours, makes me think of a warehouse after a war. Is that a decommissioned robot or something in the background? O_o; Maybe I'm seeing things. I like the text, I've got it somewhere but I've yet to use it. 3) I don?t' like this as much as no. two. ;_; I think you cropped the wrong part and it just looks like a bunch of jumbled lines too me, pretty un-descriptive. See? I'm not all compliments ^_~ But I still

[SIZE=1]Beth was surprised when Faustus had called, answering him in a quiet and shaky voice. She must have sounded pathetic, she thought, after she placed the phone back on the receiver. She stood up and brushed off her skirt, shuffling around and switching on all the lights and brushing her hair very quickly, checking her reflection in the mirror. There was no point in looking a mess for this, only they?re first, meeting. A few minutes later she heard a knock on her door and walked over, shocked at first when she opened it. It was not the doctor and his aura of confidence that surprised her; it was the dog at his side. Beth took a step back before looking back to Faustus who was laughing softly, [B]"Do not worry, Holly will not bite." [/B] Beth merely nodded and opened the door wider, tucking her hair behind an ear with a shaky hand. [B]"Sorry if I caused an inconvenience..."[/B] [B]"Not at all! You're a doctor and, like me, you seek answers. Come, shall we drink before we talk?"[/B] Beth crossed to the mini bar under her television and popped it open, displaying the contents to Faustus. He plucked out a small bottle of Brandy and tipped it into a glass, nodding towards the rest of the alcohol. Beth shook her head and sat back on an armchair while Faustus pulled up a high-backed wooden chair from a small table in the corner of the room. He looked over the rim of his glasses at the piles of books and papers on Beth?s bed, slightly alarmed when he noticed the book on demonology. [B]"Ah, that is what I suspected."[/B] The brunette didn't even need to see what he was looking at to know what he meant and she leant forward, her elbows on her knees as her chin rested on tented fingers. [B]"I really hope you don't mind my questions, Doctor Faustus-" "Call me Wolfgang."[/B] the doctor interrupted and Beth nodded before continuing. [B]"I was looking at some old newspaper reports and came across this,"[/B] she held up the one detailing his parent?s deaths, then gestured to the book, "I may not look like much, but I made the connection." Faustus laughed softly and leant forward, his arms crossed over his thighs, [B]"If you know that much, what is there to ask?"[/B] he had a small grin on his face and again Beth was struck by the feeling that something was not right with the situation, though she tried to ignore it on the whole. [B]"I want to know..."[/B] she blushed slightly, [B]"Did it work?"[/B] [B]"Yes."[/B] Faustus' grin seemed to grow wider and Beth shuddered, something in her mind telling her to get out. Get out now and leave Germany on the next flight. But Faustus held her gaze and drew her in, his eyes sparkling and swirling darkly behind his glasses. Beth swallowed hard and drew in a deep breath. [B]"Are they coming?" "Ze Demons, all of hell, evil itself?"[/B] Beth nodded. [B]"Yes. They are, and I think I'll need your help when they do." OOC And that?s me, hope that was okay ^_^[/B][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]The Daisuke set looks very nice. *claps* I like the text, it looks very pretty. I think you should start adding borders to some of your banners, it may just be me, but I feel they always give it that "clean and finished" look. The next one....I....don't like it now it has the girl on it. I did suggest you cropped the image; it would have looked good if you only showed her head and shoulders. But you resized her and now the only thing I can see is a red blob on what is actually quite a nifty background. It looks like you've used a chrome filter on it to give it that metallic look? But yeah, the girl totally ruins it for me. Very sorry. *I hope you safety saved as a.psp (or the Photoshop file, which ever you used) so you can go back and edit.[/SIZE]
