I feel honoured that your honoured by my description OTL ♥ oh really? o_o to be honest, i actually cant imagine you being a fan of anime XD not in a bad way of course! its just that you kinda have this serious and sophisticated aura around you? that is of course judging by your writing i mean since you have like perfect english with a wide vocabulary ouod (perhaps thats just my image of you XD?) but like because of that i cant exactly imagine you spazzing over an episode going "OMG DID YOU WATCH YESTERDAY'S EPISODE?" or something among the line XD really o_o? truth be told, i always wonder where the admins meet each other, like if they knew each other in real life or not XD but that is an interesting place to have met XD i see, i see do you like her in general or her talent in being a voice actress c:? mm not sure if i cant count myself as one of the "young" people anymore XD but i doubt i have more experience since that was around the time i started too, really? but you make awesome signatures too D8 i'd love to see you making some more! speaking of which, i really liked that blank set you were wearing before, the grey one with the silhouettes of the 3 girls i think it was :'3 the design wasn't complex but it definitely stood out to me XD i feel like i'd be speaking out of line OTL but i do think anime renders are easier because they match with both real life and drawn stock, plus they come with so many expression and poses so they're much either to work with. oh i noticed that as well! particularly the colours, i think most girls tend to do a blend of colours while guys tend prefer to use darker and more of a solid colour, and as girls use quite a lot of stock i think guys prefer c4ds for more of an 'epic' look XD yup :3 compliments are always nice :'3 though i'd like critics too wherever possible since im always trying to improve ;u; thats good to hear :'3 usually i talk a lot and sometimes too much to the point of annoyance OTL
Now I actually feel honoured by your description. And yeah, I guess that's not that uncommon. As a matter of fact, the other admins are pretty much similar to me in that they have interests in Japanese stuff, but hardly anime and manga like most others. I personally had interest in all of them―anime, manga, games, visual novels, you name it―although I gradually lost interest mostly in anime and manga. I met the other admins on an eroge blog, from which we then formed a staff unit and founded the site. And yes, I quite like Hanazawa Kana. I like a bunch of behind-the-screen people such as voice actresses (rarely actors), writers, illustrators and the like. 4-5 years? Awesome; you probably have more experience than I do at such a young age. I started using Photoshop somewhere in 2009, although I never got serious and was basically just messing around with signatures. I see, it makes sense that designers like yourself were originally people who messed around with posters and photography. When you're used to blending real-life renders with effects and backgrounds, I guess doing so with anime characters is considerably easier. One thing that I notice, though, is that there's often a stark difference in style between a girl designer and a guy. But I understand that probably half of the satisfaction in making graphical pieces comes from the comments from people around you. Nah, nothing wrong with being a little talkative at times. It's a fun conversation anyway.
well there isn't really much of another word to describe it, after all i cant help but respect admins seeing how hard they usually work XD (some are unfortunately lazy though most of the ones i meet are rather dedicated :3) really? somehow i dont really find that much of a shock, i know of an admin who ran a fanfic website despite not really having an interest in the area o: were you interested at first but slowly grew out of it or was there some other reason that brought you here :3? (if its personal no need to answer ouod) are you a fan of the voice actor :3? (i actually didn't know the person behind the screen XD) as for me, i'd say i've been learning graphics for almost about 4-5 years now :3? im not exactly sure if there is a mandatory class for gfxing but i do know people touch on it when it comes to photography. hmm well, majority of the good gfxers (in my opinion) come from those whom make posters particularly for fanfiction seeing how they are required to use real people and blending in new stock, knowing how tiny the cyber world is it wasn't long before it spread to game and anime forums and well i guess most people (including myself) quite like the praises and recognition after making a signature :3 plus there is like a sense of satisfaction after completely a piece XD not to mention, if you were surrounded by graphic makers, its only natural for you to join the circle ouod well thats my opinion in the least, not sure if i strayed or said anything which didnt make sense but yeah :'3 sorry im quite the talkative person <|3 OTL
Honoured? Haha, how quaint. No problem, and I see, thanks. That series doesn't look quite like my cup of tea (and despite running this kind of forum, I'm actually not much of an anime/manga person), but the character you're using in your signature looks cute nonetheless. And I see she's voiced by Hanazawa Kana too. Also, how many years have you been dabbling with graphics? I've been seeing a lot of young, talented designers such as yourself lately, which makes me wonder if curricula mandate learning graphics design at schools or there's just an increase in interest over the field in the recent years.
somehow i feel so honored that your talking to me ;~; ♥ and thank you for the compliments :3 ! of course, its Ren Kougyoku from Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic (Kingdom of magic) shes my absolute favourite character in the show :'3 and its a great anime + manga so i also recommend it if you have the time ouod
Hey there. Besides congratulating you for winning the SOTM (twice in a row, I see, nice!), I'm just dropping by to say that I really like your entry in #20. I don't always pay much attention to SOTM, but Pinkylicious goes through me to give awards and update the announcement, so I still get to see the winner of each SOTM. Yours caught my attention and personally appeals to me; it's cute and quite beautifully designed. May I ask who the girl in the image is?
