No, I must not forgive myself! >_<" *cries*
Hah... It's okay. *pats you on the back* Thanks for the b-day wishes~!
HOLY CRAAAAAPPP! I'm so sorry I missed your birthday! x'O *feels terribly ashamed of himself* But... HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
Wow... That's simply...stunning~! The background is sort of reminiscent of...I wanna say a fairy tale? Mostly because of how you used pastels. It's very soft and fantasy-like. :3 I love all the speckles of light and sparkles that you did, and I also like how you arranged the character render! Her arm extended like that helps give the banner some nice visual movement. There is beauty in it's simplicity. <3 Have you got people asking you to make banners again? Or do you just have that urge to create? Either one, you do some very nice work, so I hope to see more of what you do!
Oh, and I just made this. Definitely a more simple style, but I like the banner. It's Noel from BlazBlue, by the way. => Looks like I'm back into graphics for a while. xO
Really?! ='D I played Friends of Mineral Town over and over and over and over. It's my favorite! But like you I never got the Summer Cottage, either. I honestly had no clue how someone could gather so much money. I did have my farm perfectly with all grass and a symmetrical design for the 3x3 plots of land and a complete lumber border. I gave up after that. x3 Oh, I've been doing excellent! Demon's Souls is my current obsession, and it is absolutely thrilling--like, LITERALLY. ='D
I LOVE Harvest Moon~! I've played Friends of Mineral Town for a long time. I tried saving up enough for the Summer Cottage, but I never got that much money... I've also played More Friends of Mineral Town and Save the Homeland. MFoMT was the same, you just play as a female, and Save the Homeland was pretty good, though you played on a time limit. You only had a year to save the town from being destroyed. Anyway, how have you been sir?
Heehee, you played Harvest Moon, ever? I'm certain that's where it's from. xD Series is so addicting with its compilation of mini-games. ;;
YEEEE~!!! I shall add it in!
Cow GIF is all yours. xDDD
Haha, I try like twenty different textures until I find ONE that I think fits well. It's a pain, really, but it's worth it. I need to find a format for a tutorial first. I made a rushed one for a friend to use as a beginner's guideline, but the formatting was way off. It needs to look good. xD If I make one I'll be sure to show you~ You need INSPIRATION! Haha, you got my favorite, at least. The other two are Anette Olzon from Nightwish and Carly Smithson from We Are The Fallen (Omega introduced me, and Carly was also on American Idol seasons...5 and 7, I think?)
Your random experiments turn out much better than mine. And yep. That's true. If you do make your tutorial, I'll be certain to check it out. I'm still stuck with GIMP though, but I've managed to figure out how to do some of the same stuff that one can do with Photoshop. Haven't had the initiative to make anything recently though. :/ I recognized Amy Lee, but I have no idea who the other two are. I'm so out of touch in the music scene...
Thankies~! ^___^ That third one was an entirely different style for me that I just randomly tried. I've never really used effects like that before. xD I like how it turned out, though. Hahaha, but the more I know, I the more knowledge I have to pass on, right? I've been thinking of making tutorials for my avatars. Naw, they aren't for anybody. I just got bored and wanted to make some new things. They're lead singers from my favorite bands. XD
Those look really fantastic! I especially like the first and third ones. Really beautiful colors in the third one, and the soft ray effect is pretty awesome. The first one is simply gorgeous. Keep up the good work! Though at the rate you're going, pretty soon there's not going to be anything left for you to learn! Did you just make these on a whim, or are they for anyone?
I'm learning a lot! ='] What do you think? Three newest avatars with my current knowledge of Photoshop. =]
