I haven't been on in a while. Sorry ^_^
The Ayumi wallpaper as absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for working on it. It's so beautiful! I really appreciate it. I'm going to set it as my wallpaper right now! hehe
Thanks so much! You should make more Ayumi wallpaper. I have so many so now it's hard for me to find them on the internet. Thanks again!

You're welcome! I apologize for the lack of updates. Last weekend, I was on a trip. A couple days before, I got this cool new laptop which I have been using a lot since. I was doing things with it which kept me off of the desktop computer (which is where the GIMP is.) On a side note, I noticed how much easier it is to draw with a touchpad (I'm terrible when it comes to using a mouse with art.) So, I did this... thing. My six year old nephew was around so I wasn't really serious about making this pic. I just threw things together. I could have touched it up a little more, but... I got lazy and played Tales of Phantasia instead. take the picture with a grain of salt i kinda hope to make better things in the future with practice im better when it comes to hand-drawn art so yeah...

Thank you, Cleo! I just finished this a while agoa few minutes ago. I'm not too pleased with the text turnout, because I was hoping to make it blend more with the background. Adding a blurred black version of the text behind it makes it pop out more, and generally wasn't what I was looking for here. I did this because I'm experimenting with making images blend more with the person in it. Text will hopefully have this, too. I started this because on another forum a friend showed me, I saw how much improvement I could use. I need all of the experience I can get. i want to level up and learn light spear

tales of destiny tales of destiny tales of destinytales of destinytales of destiny... tales of destiny! [/totally not obsessed] I made this wallpaper in GIMP. Making wallpaper in GIMP is kinda hard, because it takes a while for things to appear at that size... I never had this issue in Photoshop... With Tales of Destiny... I'm about 25 hours in and I'm outside of Cloudius. My team consists of Stahn, Rutee, Philia, and Khang. I put Khang behind me so he could get in some hits with enemies closer to me. Thanks to him, I get bigger combos, though I never get anything over 10 hits... Anyways, I liked the first half of the game better. This Aeropolis place bugs me to no end. It also kinda feels like the Cave of the Past from Earthbound, only way longer and tedious.
I was playing the game without a guide up until the part with the password in... Well, I forget the place. It's the one where you fight Ilene at the end. That password thing was ridiculous. Putting in "HUGO" was amusing, however.
anyways i like this game overall Though I kinda should have finished Phantasia before starting this... i think i see why leon is soooooo popular with the fandom...

its stahn so that makes it okay, right? I think I'm gonna start using tinypic now. Photobucket takes forever to load and the URLs are so long. So... right, I made some sigs. Reid. Collete. Presea. I had asked a friend for advice, regarding my inability to make a sig flow well. He told me all he could, and I think I really benefitted from it. I'm more satisfied with these than my previous works.

I made this a few days ago, but didn't get around to uploading it until a few minutes ago. Senel. I'm actually working on something now, because I'm waiting for music to upload on my playlist on Imeem. I'll post those later.

Thanks for the comment, Mary! I meant to show these sooner. These probably aren't new if you check my Deviantart page. I made some wallpapers. These are simply brush experiments that I did and the reasoning is in the last post I made in this topic. Dark MadnessDark MagicDark SwirlDark ElectricityI also put this thing together earlier. I'm waiting for something to finish downloading on my laptop, so I made another wallpaper for it. Also noting that I made these with "1366 by 768" in mind. I also tried updating my site (for once) and after finishing editing a page: ERROR!!try imagining this being said in a rough, deep voice like by a sea captain or somethingGoing back to the page erased all of the edits that I did, so it was pretty frustrating. I'll try again soon. this post would be smaller if the images didnt take so long to upload :/

^ Happens to me a lot I became so panicky, I save every 5 minutes of work.
Also, blank wallpapers are handy when you're not feeling like making a BG for your sig xD

It's not too helpful for me now with my new style of working with these graphics. I do most of the brush work over top of the image layer (I still mess around with image layer duplicates over the brushes but...) Oh, and thanks for the site advice. With Firefox, I think it saves the work that was edited, so I'll hopefully have an easier time editing. Also, I drew this in MSPaint. There's another version, but I didn't like it. Just practice with touchpad drawing. His name is Phil, and he's one of my characters. I haven't really done much with him, though.

Here's the last batch that I did. After this, I may not update for a while... Unless I decide to reuse the renders for something else. Anyways: Richter. Chester. That's it for now, I guess.

I'm going to use this personally for a little while, but after that it's up for grabs. Changed the requests rules. Just give me an image/images and tell me what you want. When requesting anything, be sure to tell me the dimensions.
