I still don't know what's going on...

*fainted due to severe embarassment*

*awakened* really happy of that... statement... >_< *sob*... Lol.. I experienced before that a certain someone said it isn't that special, and what you called kinda like a fastfood snacks that's like you can see them anywhere... lol... though I laugh at that certain someone when I retaliated... haha

anyway... hope you can continue to spread your talent also blaze-sempai not just only in K-on thread but elsewhere here, since I think many peeps also liked your works including me and if I'm not mistaken PM-sama either. ^^

About the update, that Miku's one is looking great but the other one somehow have something than bother me but I am not sure what.

*taps ganbaru-sempai* first of all I'm not that popular neh!!!.. >_< though to be honest even if my time is shortened just seeing those hmmm "words" like...
"It's great I really liked it" or "Wow it looks good" or something like "OMG! it exceeded my expectations" makes all that time that I spend worth it... really worth it.. ^^... Though sadly real life is really matters at the moment... ^^ Really happy for those people who were posting and even lurking here at my thread....

She could still keep doing weekly updates, but instead, she is going to stop as she has no time for those either.

I wonder how is Patchy able to do what she does with her job, though. If it's so demanding that it leaves her no free time on computer.. Just work work sleep, and repeat.. It sounds so.. tiring.

^^ Yup, I've letting down some requests lately specially for those people who are kinda new to this site and only posted once/twice or just for requesting a sig. ^^ Sadly that I really need to stop since my job is kinda hectic atm (as of now still on vacation).. before I can spend some 30 mins to an hour doing some requests, but now I must rushed even that remaining time for dinner break lol... ^^

Yep it's tiring... sadly I can't get back to the way it was even to the way it was like only a month ago where I"m doing a 2 updates per month basis.

Though if my hands will itch severely due to missing my PS, I will grab a laptop placed it in a table then open my PS immediately...

So no, I don't think her popularity went down at all. In fact, it just kept building from day one.

And yeah, all these during her dinner break? If that's true, then damn, that's badass.

Haha I loved those dinner breaks... haha I saw that before, there are some people gathering at my thread whenever I updated... even people I don't knew

Lol.. is that badass? haha... munching a sandwich while P.shopping lol... it looks like hmmm kinda weird lol...

and again... what is this thing again about my popularity.... I'm not that popular >_<... guhhhh....

Nope why would I? lol... Yup you must be productive since your works are more eye-candy than mine .... (animated sig is like.... wow!!! )

Awesome?.... keep the mediocre sigs coming lol....

----------------------------------------

2 updates again... (since there's only a few request left only made a vocaloid sig for today)

Vocaloid Rush:






and a simple tutorial on cropping my sigs on how to make them AS Safe (PS only).... (For touhou sigs only since they're free...) (Created For Matty-sempai)

First Open a certain signature of you liked...




Then Use the Crop tool




Then Go to Image>Canvas Size



(Note: the Cropped version must be more than 160 so that you can adjust it more to your taste....)


Then Control either the straight up arrow or down arrow then reduced the height to 160 px...




Done....




Now add a border by creating a new layer and pressing ctrl+a then Edit>Stroke (border of your choice...)... after that... choose save for web and devices (PS CS3/4/5) or use imageready (Optimized) for (CS2/PS 7)

CS4


CS2 (Use save optimized as on Imageready)

This one really look rushed...
@ thanks for making my Yune sig (gosh got coincidence when i watched the last episode of this anime..). honestly, how can this be a LOLI?!, its looks like my imouto type..

and this msg by Dist...

yeah, i support this statement. after all, Patchy is just a normal person who wants some breaks and declining request. (i'm one of the victims, so i understand her...)
patchy is just really working in the company (hell if know it... ). but those "repeat" thing is really tiring. anyway just let it do for yourself but one thing i only ask is... """Don't leave us, because we want not to miss your PS creations..."

Anyway where's the vid I told you I'll borrow.... Baka!!!!!! you forgot it again...

I'm not flattering you idiot, just saying the truth there

So how was it? Burning a BD copy sure is time consuming thing, but it was really worthy after finishing it. Crystal Clear

This one really look rushed...

Not agreeing in this statement, it doesn't look like it was rushed to me, and if it is rushed, that is a one heck of a great looking signature for a rushed one. But who knows as far as I can tell she can make a sig in a short amount of time with a great outcome [remember those dinner break when she was updating everyday ]

A occasional update would be better than no update
I can't give any suggestion about time-gestion, in my case Photoshop Element did eat a big part of my reading time...

[Reverzer0]

i maybe a total stranger posting in your thread to tell this but sometimes you need to listen to your friend's concerns.

just droppin' by and nice lovely works",

edited: if the problem is you don't have time anymore in granting a requests, probably this is not a contest who's better and loyal based on my understanding from previous posts! if you feel burden on such things, maybe try asking help for others especially from your friends.

just my 2 cents",

[Om Nerabdator]

thanks for the tuturial patchy!!

and when you have time can you make me a sig with this pic plz with all 3 characters and the background

Spoiler for pic:

No problem, your request was delayed due to certain circumstances back then but there you go... after so many weeks at last already done your croisee sig... and glad that you liked it.... Haha some bad thoughts will clouded your mind if she'll be your little sister.... (teasing her, teasing her, and teasing her more )

Haha... ok... >_< though I'm still flattered there... ^^ happy to see the love I'm getting lol...

Yep the concert vid is a wow!!!... I wish I'm in there too... I knew that thing a long ago but I'm not that fond with it... ^^ guhhh ~~ if I knew it before maybe I'm included it in my updates list not just only touhou...

Hmmm yep it isn't rushed since I did it for more than 30 mins XD.... look at that hair... it's hard to render it >_<...

^^ Yep I think so too... hope I can do that in the future though... will really miss those touhou pix >_<... hope there will be more Toyosatomimi pix in the future when I decided to come back XD...

^^Oh! welcome to my humble thread, hmmm I'm an hard-headed person so listening to them is just a no!....... just kidding lol... of course I'm listening to them it's just that some circumstances is preventing me to agree to some.. ^^

Thanks glad that you liked those floating works here...

^^ Yup I'm also declining some other requests specially if it isn't I can grasp with. Though asking help from others is kinda different since the requester asked me, so I think I have the obligation to finish it by myself ^^... as long as I have taken it... or for my friends here...

-------------------------------
Updates:

Larethian-sama


Matty-sempai



Vocaloid Updates:

Miku and Luka

[larethian]

I'm deeply humbled. Many thanks. I rep you some time ago, so I can't rep you again. Not that you have much use for the rep . I was wondering whether you have a website where you teach people how to add effects. I actually wanted to be able to add the flowers to my avatar background as well.

EDIT: *goes and translate Itsuten faster*

[ganbaru]

That signature for Larethian look great,and it isn't just because it's a bride.

[Om Nerabdator]

thanks patchy sama your the best!!

[Tong]

Sorry I have something to say... I wont leave before posting this.

Your works are amazing, breath-taking and every possible good adjective. I've been working with Photoshop for some years, but I never saw someone so consistent , both style and sheer number of signs, like you...

I deeply believe that someone who developed a style of its own is a great artist.

[Suomi]

Pat-chama! (I had a sudden urge to call you onee-san, though )Your sigs are so beautiful they make me smile every time I see one.
The Luka vocaloid ones are the best recent ones, in my opinion, the color and softness and mood/tone just go well together and Luka is pretty. I will miss your beautiful works, though I understand real life must take priority
I have lots and lots of respect for you ^^

and if you would, I might have one last request. One last Patchy sig before you go. But only if you
have time.

[Essa Maneira]

how beautiful it is.... for me, its not like a real wedding, but it is a wedding photoshoot

nice lighting around on her vectors to make it look a moonlight. and Luka was a different person..

Captain Patchy-san, if I EVER consider that, I want you to give me a dishonorable discharge and sink my fighter plane to the bottom of the sea while I'm in it.

Haha I loved those dinner breaks... haha I saw that before, there are some people gathering at my thread whenever I updated... even people I don't knew

Lol.. is that badass? haha... munching a sandwich while P.shopping lol... it looks like hmmm kinda weird lol...

and again... what is this thing again about my popularity.... I'm not that popular >_<... guhhhh....

That's seriously badass! Unless you're levitating pieces of bread with additional foods contained between into your mouth, you must be using one hand to eat with, like most humans do! On top of that, you're photoshopping. No, not changing the channel on your TV, or clicking a pen open and closed, photoshopping. You know how difficult that sounds?

And you ARE popular, like it or not All for good reason, I say.

[zatsu-chan]

woooww cooool!!1 cAN i request???

Gahh no need to rep me... <.< Not really hungry for that one... just knowing that you're still translating some LN makes it worth it. Sorry but I've no site on it... Or maybe Larethian-sama is only pretending not knowing how to add effects ohoho

^^... Haha maybe you've some bride/wedding dress fetish neh sempai?

*Fainted for severe flattering* Thanks really happy on what you said it is a honor to receive some compliment like that ^^

*Oh my I'm fainting again....* always happening a lot isn't it? lol... ^^ Glad to hear that my works can do some wonderful things like making you smile ^^..

^^ Yep most of the Luka pix are suited to some natural scenic pictures, unlike the Miku ones that are used in a more complex techno background.

About your request.... hmmm... don't know if you've liken what I gave to you... but I'm trying to do another one just in case...

Lol.. don't know Larethian-sama knew it though since I think He already played that game (since the pic looks like a scene/event from a visual novel)

Haha, if you do that lots of your soldiers will annihilate me. ^^

Hmmm... though that skill isn't that amazing compared to you... (Drawing, Playing Musical Instrument, Writing, and recently was your practicing making a sig...)

^^... Popular? hmmmm ok let's leave it like that...
