Oh, screw the PSP! I'm on my computer now. I'll upload it to my Photobucket. Tell me it works. xD And thanks, Dodie! =D I think I've grown tired of rectangles, too. =P I just went back to my original style. =] Thank you~ =] I wish you the best of luck, as well. Likewise, I submitted my entry, too. Hopefully I'll get some votes. >> But Christmas is my favorite holiday, so I want to win this one. =D
I saved this new one again, and tried it in my signature (again) to see if I could get it to appear without the white background. I still see white. It also appears smaller than the first one. I uploaded it my PDN program, and yeah, it's supposed to be transparent and the size isn't affected. I wonder what the deal is? Anyway, if you can figure out why it's appearing white instead of transparent and fix it, this banner would look great against TFF dark. The golden yellow is a great color to have, and I like the overall design of the background. Hope is in a good placement too, and the sizing is nice. Oh, I wanted to wish you luck in the Christmas banner contest! I got mine finished. Actually, I had one finished and turned it in, but then I decided that I didn't like it and made another one. Violet let me use the second one. I was really thankful that she did.
Wait, I posted a typo in the URL. xD It's "img" instead of "image" wholly. =P Try this link: Imageshack - hopebannerglow
I tried two different web browsers and neither one of them are picking up that there is a picture in your VM. It just shows up as a white box with a red X in the center. So no, it's not working for me on my computer. Sorry Fate!
I'm currently on my PSP, but I'll try to upload it elsewhere and type...he entire URL. >< Hope (Hahaha!) it's short. Erm... How's this: Is it working?
It was hard to judge it in your photo albums because of the white background, so I saved it to my computer and uploaded it in my signature to see if the white would go away. It's still there. It looks like a great design though. I like how you went with the yellow that is on his arm band, and yes that font is really great! If you get rid of all the white, then this will definately be another great banner to add to your list of great banners.
Dodie! I can't reply now on my PSP, but might you have some feedback? I could only upload it to an album on my profile. It's the bright Hope one. There is supposed to be a transparent background, and it glows on a dark color. 8D Took a while for it to be that bright. =P And yay, I got the hang of good text. Whaddaya think?
Merry Christmas to you too, Fate! I hope you had a nice one. I actually got a couple of presents this year. I got a new iPod Nano, and some beautiful new bedsheets. I wasn't really expecting anything, so that was really a nice surprise. How was your day? Did you get anything nice? Wait til' you get older. You won't be able to hold onto money like you can when you are young. I remember when I thought that fifty bucks was a lot of money, now I use that much just to put gas in my car... ^^; I actually don't go shopping that much, but when I do I REALLY shop! Last time I went it was on Black Friday. I wound up spending $900... Whoops... That was a little excessive on my part, but you gotta spoil yourself once in a while, I suppose. Colorado is a much better state for celebrities to come than Arkansas. We don't have much in the way of attractions. I think the biggest celebrity that I can think of that came around my part of the state was a country singer named Toby Keith. He performed a concert near where I live. Hey! I like those depressing songs... I like the slower OSTs. They sound pretty relaxing to me. I'm pretty thin myself. Last time I played with my Wii Fit, it told me that I was underweight too! That may have changed though, since I've been cooking a lot of dessert stuff here lately. I made sugar cookies, brownies, and chocolate volcano cake just last night! Especially if that person loves desserts in general! As for white chocolate, I'm not a fan, but I like Divinity okay. Dark chocolate is best. RANDOMNESS-EY-NESS!!! My cousins got a cute new DS pouch that they can put thier DS lites in and take them out and they won't get messed up. I'm jealous... I have both a DS lite and a PSP, but the battery in my PSP doesn't stay charged long. That's why I prefer my DS if I travel or go anywhere far from an electrical outlet. Um... I guess they do. I'm not a big fan of hair covering half of a person's face, which is weird because I'm a fan of Zexion, and his hair does exactly that! In 358/2 days, you can't even see his face very well because of his hair! I lol'ed.
I guess maybe it's because there are a lot of objects in this world that are revolting and brown in color? xD I don't - and can't, technically - gamble, but I do have a gambler's spirit. I almost never, ever back down when I'm on a streak at any game or whatever. I just keep going, knowing very well that I won't make it. It's just more exciting that way. And I do hope being an optimist helps with winning. xD I like twenties the most. They're easy to pay with, and most things I buy are usually twenty, forty, sixty, that range. Though, I don't tend to spend money that often; I can last a while without buying things that are just for entertainment and not necessities. How often do you go shopping? There's a stage there where lots of stars come to perform and host concerts. I know the Beatles have come once, I think. This is it: Red Rocks Amphitheatre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ooh, violin? I love the sound that it makes. That and the piano together probably make my favorite non-lyrical songs, like all the depressing OSTs in video games. Well, I'm proud to say that I don't contribute to the country's obesity. In fact, I'd make the average go down with my underweight...ness. Oh, God, even though it's like frigid right now, I'd kill for an ice cream sundae, preferably something with white chocolate on it. I haven't had one in weeks. =' How do you expect a person to go that long without his favorite dessert? Hahaha, I suppose it would be. xD As would blurry-ey-ey? =D Also, adding ness to anything automatically makes it a noun. Bubbliness! That's why they make handheld consoles: for we gamers to be able to play outside to get some fresh air but still avoid the sun and outside world. xD But really, I wouldn't want to leave without getting my PSP first. But... emos have very nice hair, don't you think? Merry Christmas, Dodie!
Hmm. Brown must be an "acquired taste" of a color. I like it, but I didn't used to like it. I guess it just grew on me. I guess so, but you don't experience the same sort of rush you get when you actually win something. I suppose that's why so many people have a gambling problem. Ummmm.... YEAH! Who wouldn't want an extra 100 bucks in thier pocket? It's probably not fair to say, but finders keepers. If I found a 100 dollar bill, I would wonder who was careless enough to lose it, and also who carries that much cash anyway? I use my debit card for big purchases, so the most actual cash I have on me is usually in the fifty dollar range. I keep a twenty hidden away in my purse for an emergency, and another thirty for just if there's something I want and I don't feel like taking it out of my account. Red Rocks sounds familiar... Maybe I did see it, but I'm not sure. It's been a while since I was in that part of the country. I like that song. I was just looking for a video so I could show you what a dulcimer sounds like, and I came across that video, and the song just grew on me. I listened to it like three times before I linked it to the VM I sent you. As far as what intruments I like, I like the piano too. I also like the cello and the violin. I would love to learn to play those intruments. I have a lot of fast food restuarants close to where I live too! I live not too far away from a Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Sonic, and Little Ceasar's. They're all huddled together for easy access I guess. And people wonder why this country has a weight problem... Funny thing though... There's no ice cream places close to me like those other fast food restaurants are. Both Braums and Dairy Queen are on the other side of town. Sonic makes some pretty decent desserts though. I like thier peanut butter fudge ice cream sundae. So would blurry-ey be a word, too? =P We're gamers. Of course we don't go out in the sun. That takes away from our gaming time! Yeah, we wouldn't want people thinking you're an emo kid. They would probably ask you to sing the emo song.
Dear Lord, that color is absolutely hideous! Oo Lucky! That's even better than winning money. It's free, and effortless. I only find pennies, not five dollar bills. Speaking of which, if it was a hundred, would you have kept it? Really? xD Haha, well, we are the best state for tourists and hiking or camping. Hmm, I don't think I've ever been down to that part before. But if you come visit, you should see Red Rocks, if you haven't already. The rock formations and scenery is amazing. Oh, so that's how it sounds. =D It has a good tune to it, don't you think? And YouTube has a snowy font now, too, for Christmas. =P I've always liked piano the best, though. How about you? Woah, you have to go cross-state for Baskin Robbins? But Dairy Queen is still good, though. I have that about seven minutes away. And the fast food. I swear, I live at like the heart of fast food stores. There's a Wendy's just across the main road, a McDonald's five minutes down, a Burger King the opposite way about ten minutes, and a ton of other ones, too. Everything -ey is a word. =D Haven't you known? It makes it all... adjectiv-ey. Yep, yep. I don't go out in the sun much, so my skin isn't so tan. I like wearing white, though. =P But black is too gloomy for me. And what with my hair and all, it makes me look a bit emo. Oo
Thanks for the tip. I changed my last VM and now it's in brown. LOVELY LOVELY BROWN! Awwww... I never win when it comes to monetary gambling. I do find money all the time though. One time I was at a gas station and I was looking at some movies, and a five dollar bill was just laying on the floor. I bought some flavored water and a bag of chips with it. I LOVE COLORADO!!! I went there once. It was really pretty. I don't remember the exact location, but it was near Denver, I know that much. My mom was happy too, because there was a Christmas store up there either called "Santa's Shop" or "The North Pole" or something like that. Anyway, we spent HOURS looking at Christmas stuff, and we wound up buying a couple of houses for the snow village that we set up every year. I have no idea what sort of instrument dulicmer is, I suppose it would be a stringed instrument, sort of like a fiddle I suppose, but you set it on your lap to play it. Here's a video of a guy playing one. He's pretty good. YouTube - Mountain Dulcimer - Whiskey Before Breakfast - Stephen Seifert Heh... Makes me want to do-si-do or something. LUCKY!!! The closest Baskin Robbins to me is in Tulsa Oklahoma, and that's about an hour and a half drive. We have Braums and a Dairy Queen, but they don't make Peach smoothies... I agree about the character designs. They are really nice, and have very action-ey poses. (Hey! I say that action-ey is a word! ) Green is my favorite color, but I look best in red, so I wear red a lot. Unless I'm working, and then I have to wear a white button up shirt that makes me look like a boy, and a pair of black dress pants. I wish we could wear colorful shirts, because I look gross in white. Maybe because I'm sort of really pale.
We do some in-house gambling at times when I visited some of my relatives. I didn't want to play at first, but then my mom said, "Come on, sit down and play," and handed me a single dollar. I think I just didn't wanted to lose any of my money. =P I ended up winning twenty-two dollars; good times. =D Nothing's wrong with Arkansas. =P In fact, it might be even better than where I live: Colorado. ...Neh, it isn't. I live here. =P Dulcimers? This is my first time even hearing that word. xD Is it like a fiddle, sort of? Ooh, I just LOOOOOOOOVE ice cream! I can't believe that there's a Baskin Robbins about five minutes away from my house and I never even knew about it! I like cheesecake flavoured ones. =3 No fair, really! And the charatcers that I like aren't usually the main ones, either, so that makes it even harder. xD Erm... I guess you can say that. =P "At the moment" means that I'm currently playing the game. =D I played it a couple years ago for the GBA, and now I've got the remake. Hooray! Besides, the game has nice character designs, don't you think? ;] Most of my clothes are blue, though. xD But I like WEARING green a lot, for some odd reason. In fact, I'm wearing all green right now. And you want the colour brown? Use the BB Code but type in "brown" instead. =P
So did I ever tell you about the one and only time I went to a casino and gambled? I lost, but I only lost the ten dollars that the casino gave out to ladies, because it was ladies night. My friend won forty dollars, but she lost it in a matter of moments. And what's wrong with Arkansas? I'll have you know that Arkansas is a GREAT place! Not really. It's boring around here. But if you ever decided to visit, I suggest you go to Mountain View because from my research, they make dulcimers there. Nope. I do get brainfreezes sometimes, especially when I go to Baskin Robbins and order up a peach smoothie. SO YUMMY!! but so painful when you drink them too fast... I wouldn't want to have a freeze in my throat... I bet that was very painful. I do that too. I took that advice from VMM. It's soooo much easier just to type up (character's name) render in google image search and just use one that you find. I guess it would be harder to find one from a game that not many people play or heard of. I'm only assuming that last part because I never heard of Yggdra Union until talking about it with you. Also, you're Yggdra Union obsessed now? What happened to your love for Star Ocean? Is that on a hiatus? Are you having problems with your relationship? I kid... My second youngest brother's favorite color is orange. He has an orange room, and an orange backpack, and he used to own a pair of orange pants. He's an OSU fan, mainly because thier team colors are orange and black. Did you notice that I typed up this entire VM in brown? Actually, there is no brown, so it's sienna, but it's close enough. DO YOU HATE IT?!?!?!
Then pray you hit the jackpot or win the lottery or something. xD I'm sure you have no objections to that, right? I'd give you something, but I'm not going to Arkansas. =D Hmm... I'm not entirely sure what I want for Christmas. A new laptop would be nice, but no one knows that I want one. But I'll settle for anything. I just want FFXIII to come out quickly, really. I've been waiting for it all along. Oh, God, that picture gives me chills. (No pun intended; I ain't that lame. =P) Hvae you ever gotten anything close to frostbite before? The worst I've gotten with ice is drinking too much slushed ice and having it stuck on my throat. It's soooooo painful. Oo I cut them out, half the time. It depends on whether or not I find a good one. However, the ones that are rendered themselves are much more convenient. I managed to find one render of the character I wanted, but the quality isn't that good. I'll probably have to not keep the blending mode to "Normal" when I make the banner, then. But strangely enough, bwue isn't my favourite colour. =P It's orange. xD I don't have it too much since an off shade of it is brown, and I completely hate brown with a passion.
