SOTM 2008 - May (Despair/Sorrow) - Entry Phase

[Tamekichi]

My entry for now:

[KiNA]

[Cyz]

The forefront pic feels like it was "put there" and it's making it look "out of place" from the rest of the sig or so to speak. But that's just me nyways

Good job!



Also, is that a gradient line I see on her face near her nose and mouth?

[KiNA]

I honestly didnt see the gradient line u point >.< edit: Ah.. good catch.. let me inspect why that line is there @.@

<- new
font change >.<
<-old

Which is better ?

I'll see if I can slow down the tears more.. Still got room for more frames ^^

[kayos]

@KiNA

Maybe you should try a more gothic font...

Is that line related to the animation? (Like where the animation frame boundary is?)

And if the new font is your choice, go back to the old one...



Kayos has the right idea, methinks.

@KiNa:

I am loving the background and text, but like Cyz said, I still think Suigintou's face is too "put there." I know what you're trying to do, but maybe it's just me.

[KiNA]

Total redone lol..

I'm done for today.. Too much emo tears ;_;


Dark BG was for the gloomy mood.. She got left out in there while Rozen finished her other sisters ..;_;

[Solace]

@KiNa - I'm really impressed that the quality is so good for a gif. But it seems like a different style for you.

Yay emo tears! Here's my first entry. I'm trying a new style.

Text:


No text:


Render ended up a little bit sharper than I wanted, but it's fixable. Kinda stuck on the text though, as usual. Anyway, was going for a "swallowed by darkness" kind of vibe. Either that, or a big blotch of color....one of the two.

Edit: Softened render -

Text:


No text:

[KasumiGirl]

I don't like the 3 lines. Well, not the actual lines, just the glow. Seems a bit weird, it being kinda diffused. The black shouldn't cover up as much space like that imo. But her eyes are really hypnotising, and the overall look is interesting.

I think that would be a good text for it instead of somebody help me.

[Solace]

Good points. Here's a version 2:



And...I'm gonna stop spamming images and get some sleep.

[nekowai]

If my life was anime i would win this by default.

[Mitsu Aoi]

Hmm I think I'll try to think other animated theme >,<

KiNA I like how the tears flow but in the end it seems to defy natural physics :O
But still its a sad sig I say *thumbs up*

[KiNA]

Don't leave me.. Father..

[KholdStare]

@KiNa: Much better in my opinion, mostly because her face is smaller. I agree that I like your old text better, or at least broken doll doesn't seem to invoke despair/sorrow in me. I'm not seeing how the tears defy the laws of physics either.

Yes, I did watch Ouverture, but I was just playfully commenting on that fact. It's one of the reasons why I don't completely hate Souseiseki.

I dont know, there's just something odd about her expression.

As if she were sad and were about to start laughing, or laughing and about to get sad. >_< !

Or like me not making any sense......

Final Entry (maybe)

Much better!

What caused the line in the old version?

"Don't leave me... Father..." sets the mood a lot better (as KS points out).
