[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Demondrake [/i] [B]Lillith is the mother of humanity. I think angels were created from Adam, but I could be wrong on that. No one truly knows where Lillith came from, but you can speculate where Lillith did come from.[/B][/QUOTE] That's something I don't understand...Lillum lived a good deal before the second impact, at which Adam caused. We know this because Lillum produced Lillith, whose AT field shatterred for some reason, making us, humans. So does that mean that Adam was alive all the way back then, and just never came out? After all, Adam has always been reffered to as the first Angel. *shrug* That was just a quick thought.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Semjaza Azazel [/i] [B]Well, my site is up... I haven't had time to work on it recently, but there should be substantial updates in the coming weeks. Anyway, the link is [url]http://www.slownerveaction.org[/url] Any of these banners will do. I did several colors so they would fit with most any site. I've not done a grey one for some reason though. I'd prefer that anyone that takes these host it on their own server.

[/B][/QUOTE] Ah, I see you're going with the small ones. I like those a lot, they're more professional (the small ones, I mean), but I don't see how people fit pictures on them. It's hard enough with the bigger version! Your idea is a good one though. My rating: [b]9/10[/b]

Syk3 is getting upset! lol Look, if you have an entry, PLEASE post it, otherwise, there is no reason to post at all. This thread is clustered with enough silly comments as it is. I know the art takes a while, but if this thread remains pointless, it will be closed.

Ah, you mean affiliate icons that you use to trade with sites? Well, I'm not sure about trading them (sites would have to be Pmed back and forth) but if you want show off some that you have, go ahead. These are...all right. I think they could have a higher quality, and have some more effort into them, but they're good I guess. The thing that you have to remember is that most sites won't trade until you have a regular sized affiliate image -- approxamtely 88 x 30 pixels. You also have to try and make it look as good as possible, so as to get visiters to your site. Here's an example image: [img]http://japanimation.com/jstore/affiliates/img/jjs002-mini.gif[/img] I didn't make that, however. I did have a whole lot from previous sites and such, but I must have deleted them, hmm...

Pretty good. It's an okay banner, but it seems that you were really just copying the Windows Media Player and adding some text. I think it could improve with a border on either side of the strip with your name, and around the media player. I'd really like to see some original artwork from you. :)

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Solid [/i] [B]when does the competition ends? [/B][/QUOTE] Well, first we need to worry about when this thing starts. After three or four pics, maybe we can [i]start[/i] thinking about it, but hopefully this will last a little while. Can somebody please post a picture? If one is not up by Saturday, this topic is closed, since most of these posts are basically about nothing anyway.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by redeyes [/i] [B]I Think It Is Very Very Very Good!!! [/B][/QUOTE] Welcome to the boards. :) There are a few things you need to be wary of, however. In the sticky thread on the main page of this forum, it informs members that they need to expand on why they may think that a picture is good. Such expansions include what part of it you like, what they did a good job at, and how it could possibly be improved. Otherwise, the artist can't really improve on their work for the future.

Hmm, it's a good idea, but I don't think that this thread will help much. First of all, you are asking for pretty much any game, but this is the Nintendo forum, so it could only work with Nintendo games. Besides that, if someone is stuck on a particular game, they will most likely make a seperate thread anyway. In this thread, things would likely get very confusing, and people may accidently take advice for a different game. Like I said, it's a good idea, but it wouldn't work. Topic closed.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Batman [/i] [B]Good Charlotte make me sad. [/B][/QUOTE] Batman, please put more of an effort into your post than a single line. I'm sure that you can expand on why they make you sad, or at least say a little more about what you think of them. Five words hardly contributes to an intelligent discussion.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Shinobi [/i] [B]I'll try...i geuss. See if a judge place is free slap me in there ;). [/B][/QUOTE] Nope, it looks like all of the positions have been filled. I think we should get this contest on as soon as possible. Whenever someone has a picture, just go ahead and post it. :)

I think I'd better be a judge as well, as long as there is still a spot open. ;) It sounds interesting; interesting, yet complicated. It would be really difficult to capture one's imagination, but judging would give me a chance to see other's ideas, and go from there.

I think I saw another thread of yours which probably had the attachment, but it was deleted before I could look through it. If you post a new thread, I'll be happy to delete this one. :)

Well, it's a good try, but there are a few things you can improve on. I think you could have drawn his hand and potion a little better, and more. His words are a little close together in the banner, like the second line is practically touching the bottom of the top. It's funny though, reminds me of a caption I saw for the first picture in the caption contest. Link is looking scared, and this girl is holding on to him with this kind of smile, looking up at him. Anyway, the coption was something like, "Link, remember that night when we drank WAY too much blue potion? Well, ummm...congratulations, you're going to be a dad!"

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by treton_noir [/i] [B]*looks at the number of threads about Asuka* hmm...i do believe my Asuka has reached a celebrity status.[/B][/QUOTE] Yes, I was thinking the same thing, except for the part about "my". :blackeye: I think I'll limit Asuka threads from now on; if someone wants to send Asuka a birthday gift, IM her, PM her, or just add on in a previous Asuka thread. This is getting rediculous. o_O As for the picture, it's pretty good, but I know I've seen a similar picture to that before. Did you copy it from something, or did you make it up?

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Demondrake [/i] [B]So, are Evangelions human (Not lillum since they were spawned from Adam :P)? They do have memories AND a soul, but they (and Angels like Kaworu) don't possess a human body.[/b][/quote] Actually, they do possess human bodies, from what I understand. In episode 19 when Eva unit 01 is fighting Angel 14, Zeruel, you will remember that Ritsuko said that the Eva had become aware, and was breaking free of the armor that they originally placed to keep it under their control. You could see an eye, teeth, and even a human arm. Later on we learn that a human is from an Eva, which is from an Angel, which was created by God in God's own image. I quote: "Mankind found God, and they tried to pick him up. For that Man was punished! It was fifteen years ago, and the God they found disappeared. Then Man tried to resurrect God with his own hands, and created Adam. From Adam, Man created what resembles God, himself. That is Eva!" I also believe that humans were created in God's own image, so basically, yes, Evas are human, but obviously a lot bigger. o_O [quote][b]As for Rei, I thought she did retain some memories, or why did she leave the decision of third impact to Shinji? Well, it was my understanding that it was because Rei cared for Shinji and believed him to be worthy, but I could be incorrect (I've read to many fanfictions...they influenced me too much :P). Personally, I believe that the third Rei is NOT the same Rei as in the beginning of the series. She is herself, a whole new person. She even denied Gendo control of the Third Impact, so even though she is different Rei, the third Rei is not a mindless doll like the second Rei in the beginning of the series.[/b][/quote] Eh, I don't think this Rei has any previous memories. It was a brand new Rei out of that tank, and has nothing to do with the old one. As far as I'm concerned, there are 3 Reis. The first one died as a child at the hands of Ritusko's mother, the second died by killing herself for Shinji against Armisael, and the third one that made an appearence after this.

Awsome man, very well done. I love the quote, and I love the picture. Everything just looks so great together. ^_^ Happy birthday again, Asuka! Ok, I [u]really[/u] like the picture, lol. *_*

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Steiner [/i] [B]I was goin to get that game about 2 weeks ago but instead i got Golden sun 2 because i wanted a long lasting game. Is sonic any good and how long does it go for? [/B][/QUOTE] Sonic Advance 2 is a great game, lol. You can set it to different levels of difficulty, so it varies how long it takes to beat it. There are 5 different characters, each with 14 different levels, plus 5 boss levels. And [i]then[/i] you can collect a certain number of special rings in each level (like I said, 14 levels) to get the chaos emralds, one every two levels. After all that is done, you fight Dr. Eggman as Super Sonic. Some of the levels may take you a while to beat, too. I'm stuck on the Sky Canyon Boss level, but before that, that levels took me forever.

Try asking this question in the other .hack music thread. We don't need more than one. :) [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22294]Clicky[/url].

About time I posted in my own thread, lol. I finally got Sonic Advance 2 yesterday, and I've been playing it a lot even though I gave it to my brother for his birthday. It's such an amazing game, even better than the first. I love the new moves. In this game, you can press R and you'll kind of glide up, or over, depending on which way you press the d-pad. Also, if you run fast enough, you'll kind of go into a super speed, and you'll see faded images of yourself behind you. Even the speed is a lot faster than the previous game. And the levels are great too. They are much more impressive and interactive, and a lot longer. The graphics are sharper, and there are more things to help you along and such. The only thing I dislike is how hard it is to get chaos emralds. It will take me forever to get all of those special rings; how much are in each level? All in all, it's an amazing sonic game. It's better than the first advance game in my opinion, and a must buy for all sonic fans.

I usually visit OtakuBoards every day unless I have just gotten a new video game, lots of homework, or I'm not around a computer with the internet. My life basically revolves around the Otaku community -- both the site and boards. It's just a daily thing. :-p When I visit, I usually stay on for 2-3 hours. At the least, I'd go on for an hour when I get home, and an hour before I go to bed. There are always things to do on OtakuBoards, so I'm always on for a while. My longest visit? That is probably some time during the summer, especially when I first found OtakuBoards. I was just getting used to the internet, and I'd just get on from when I get up to when I go to sleep. Eventually my parents put up restrictions for obvious reasons. I guess the most time I've spent on OtakuBoards in a day has been somewhere around 8 hours. If your wondering, no, I don't have a life. I go to all sorts of forums. Obviously I check the art ones first, as I need to clear it of spam. After that I skip around to Otaku Lounge, Music Movies & TV, Anime Lounge, Dragonball, .hack, Yu Yu Hakusho, Sony, Nintendo, PC; anything that interests me. I don't always go to them all every day, though. Why I continue to stay on OtakuBoards has already been established -- I have no life, lol. I guess I'm just really close to the whole community, being a staff member on the site and boards and all, and there are so many friends that I have made. The topics are very interesting, and the board has always been so friendly, much more than any forum I've ever been to.

*_* That's an amazing drawing, Tori! I absolutely love it. ^_^; You are a very talented artist indeed. Your picture of Sara is very sexeh. ;) And best of all, there are no backwards hands, heheh. My rating: [b]10/10[/b]

I think he means how do you fade an image over another. It's actually quite simple. Just paste on a new layer like you would usually (Ctrl+A to select the image, Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+V to paste where you want it pasted). You should have 3 boxes on the right of your screen, the bottom one dedicated to layers. Click the layer on top so that it's chosen, and at the top of that box there should be an opacity meter or soemthing. Move it down from 100 to fade it to whatever degree you'd like.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by treton_noir [/i] [B]the hand isnt backwards, they are gesturing towards each other. open and outstretched.[/B][/QUOTE] Well, it's backwards in the sense that the thumb is on the wrong side, as if it was the left hand.

I love it, Asuki! ^_^ Two of the most beautiful women on OtakuBoards. The only possible thing I see wrong is that your hand is backwards, but the rest is great. My rating: [b]9.5/10[/b] Now do me a favor, and get a real picture of that with the same clothing and everything. :)

Not bad, the body is drawn well and I like the shading. Anyone could tell that's cloud, and I think that's what matters above all else. ^_^ Detail such as the wrist braceletts and such really bring it out. The only big problem I have is the placing of the head, which is kind of slanted and looks like it was just stuck on. You can work on that, but otherwise, great drawing. :) My rating: [b]7.5/10[/b]
