PS-It's wallpaper size~

I am not the biggest Symphonia fan out there, but this one is nice nonetheless.

Very clean and very pretty.

Thanks Daniel. ^^ I'm putting that vector on hold though. xD

Update time~

Sigs




SoTM Possible Entry


If the "A" fades at the top, you need to refresh the page. >.>;;

1. The text don't fit in, I think it's the font and/or the formatting of it. Try to experiment a bit if you want and make it blend in with the bg. That might get it the push it needs.

2. The color of the render. It's very nice on the bg and the clouds looks spectacular, but the render is a bit bright. Maybe a little darker and smoother would make it perfect.

Very nice composition. The render and bg go very nice together. Colors are good and smooth. The only thing that disturbs my mind is the text to the right. The font don't fit in. Maybe a more "dreamy" or stylish font would fit better since the sig itself is a bit "dreamy".

Ah yes, the SOTM. Very, very nice composition and colors. You have managed to make it soothing in a way, imo.
But (and you know me) the animation makes the quality go down. I just don't think it fits. A static "note" or something else would fit better I think, that shares the color and design of the rest sig.
You know I hate animation in sigs so I might be exaggerating, but just think about it for a bit. This sig has great potential in the SOTM.

Good luck.

Edit: You didn't ask for critique, you have to excuse me on that. I just noticed after I wrote all this >_<

Yes, I have the most difficult time with fitting text. I'll experiment some more.

The render was acually a washed out white color, so I basically had to color it myself. Which explains why it's so bright in the sig itself. ^^;

Yes, yet another text faulty. I'll keep trying. Dx

I do think that the animation doesn't fit either. I think I'll try from scratch and use a more "smooth" type of animation. The animation of the bars makes the image not seems as soothing anymore. I know your dislike of animated sigs so I'll keep trying until you like it.


Speaking of animation...I had a little fun with an Okami animated sprite I found. xD

Lulz, I know the clouds don't loop. But I thought it was a funny idea.

Never go after what I think about animation. That's a big no-no. The important thing is if it suits you, or at least other people who likes animation (which is a big percent of the members here). Try to please them with a great animation and I'm sure you come a long way in the SOTM.
I only offered my opinion and that's not the best thing to go after when it comes to this issue.

My god, so cute. Too bad about the clouds though, it would have looked even better.
See this is a great example of an animation I like, using sprites. I get a nostalgic feeling and it suits sigs much better IMO. Good work.

Aughh! Haku-chan always surprises and amazes me when I comes to Okami ^_^ Great little sig there!

Spoiler for funny little fact:

Remember that Okami music from Ledgem?I'm using Issun's theme as my ringtone

Well, compared to A4, this place is loaded with wonderful animated sig makers. I didn't know you can do most of the animation until I joined ASuki. ^^;

Aww, thanks. I did it in about 5 minuets, so it's not all that great with out a loop. But I'll see if I can loop it and/or make it look better.

Thanks Marina-chan. That means a lot.

Spoiler for Response~:

Lulz, I have that as my ringtone too. I'm so greatful for him giving us the soundtrack. ^^

I've gotten into a new series recently, Toradora. I think the only reason I watched it was because Aisaka looked like Chiaki from Minami-ke. xD

So, here are some free avatars from episode 1 if anyone's interested.

Oh you sure go a point there. Can't argue with that.

Until I read the name I also thought it was Minami-ke...the similarities are huge. Nice animation on the avas!

[UltimaWolf]

Just wanted to say your new sig is extremely cute Haku-chan. Loved what you did with it, and its a really nice job for a quickie Hardly see anyone use sprites either!
She really does look like her alot, Nice Avies.

They seriously looks alike. Even their personalities are similar.

[Hakuryu]

I'll always be a much bigger fan of Minami-ke though~

My second try on the SotM. Trashed my old animated sig, cuz I lost the .psd.

[NorthernFallout]

Wonderful effects, although they are hard to see. I didn't notice at first. The quality of the render/image seems a bit low, but other than that I think it's very nice, the colors fit nicely. Beatiful background too.

And is that some pre-made brushes or did you make them yourself, because I am looking for something exactly like that. (Guessing dA *cross fingers*)

Ah, thanks. And the original image was small and in bad quality, but I couldn't find a better one. >.>

Are you talking about those flower brushes...or something else. If you are, they're on DA and I can upload them somewhere for you, because I don't remember exactly where on DA I got them.



Free Avatar time~
This time it's from Tales of the Abyss...which will never be better than Symphonia; EVER! <3
Episode 1




Episode 2






And a free sig~

[Marina]

Yay! Love this game! Haven't seen the show yet ^_^
Can I take the above avi Haku-chan? Is it also possible to make the hiding time just a little longer?

The game is fun, and the anime seems interesting so far. (Although I've only seen 2 episodes so far)
And sure, how's this?
