All right, I understood that: 1 - I have to redo the background, and 2 - I have
to clean up the extraction. But I have two questions: are the filmstrips OK?
Most of the screencaps I used there were cleaned of subs and stuff, so they
weren't simply put there. And second, does anyone know some hints / tips on how
to make a better background? Any sort of hints, links to tutorials etc. would
help.
Hm...I think another option you could do to the background is to edit it so it
is no longer a lower quility screen cap. I don't know what kind of background
you are trying to create but a good palce to start is Good Tutorials and Imanimetion.
Quote by nght5tlkrWhat are your
personal preferences in music style? It'd really help out if you gave examples
of songs you enjoy.
Well Um.. I listen to songs from Yoko Kanno, and I love Asain Kung Fu
Generation. I have a pretty wide range choice of music.
Ja ne ^_^
Hmm...Yoko Kanno writes music for Maaya Sakamoto so you might want to give her a
try. If you want more on the AKFG type of music, try L'arc en Ciel or Orange
Range. Also, another artist I would like to suggest is YUI.
After many weeks of planning, we have decided to host a wallpaper contest. We
have also invited the group Celestia
to join us in this competition but they have not replied. So we have opened the
contest to everyone in MT. You don't have to be a member of Love-to-Stars to
join this contest! Here are some rules for the contest:
1. The most important rule: The wallpaper
submitted is required to have at least 25% of the wall to be a space scene.
2. A member may submit as many wallpapers as they like but can only submit one
that has already been posted. If it is a bit confusing, let me explain...If you
already have a few wallpapers in your MT gallery that can qualify for this
contest, you may only submit one of them. However, you may submit as many
qualified wallpapers as you want if they have not been posted on MT yet.
3. There will be no complaints about how the wallpapers are judged. The criteria
for judging is below.
4. All wallpapers submitted must abide with the rules of the Minitokyo's Submission Policy .
5. The contest is open between November 21 to December 21. All entries must be
received by Dec 21 at 11:59:59pm Eastern Pacific time.
And here is how the judges of this contest will judge it:
Effort: Did you take the time to make it or did you put it together without
giving it some thought?
Creativity: The less cliches, the better.
Appearance: If you choose to use cliches, then make it look good!
Colour coordination: Is it colour coordinated or are the colours random?
Theme: Does your scan fit your background?
All the categories above will be ranked from 1 to 10(10 being the highest
score). All the judges will rate each wallpaper and the points will be tallied.
The top scorer will win the contest.
Please send all entries to hongrboi AND/OR Andulien including a link to your submission(s). A tally of the submissions will
be updated on the front page. If you don't see it there within a 3 days, PM
hongrboi or Andulien again. Since all members of MT are welcomed to join, please
invite all your friends to join ^^
Oh yeah, The best part is the prize! The winner will receive Mod status for the
group as well as something else as a bonus!
Any questions about the contest can be PMed to Andulien or hongrboi.
Well...to some, it may be a good thing but to others it may be bad. But theres
~21 weeks of fillers left. Then the Kakashi story arc ^^ I really hate the
filelrs though because naruto comes up with all these stupid attacks like the
'clone spinning kick' or whatever. That is one of the most useless skills I have
ever seen. Even sexy no jutso beats that.
Hmmm....if you don't mind crappy graphics, I suggest you start Gunz
(htpp://www.gunzonline.com). It's a free online multiplayer that is very fast
paced.

"Well, we can also give you infrared or thermic vision, so you could see
body heat, so you could learn to tell whenever someone was lying to you. We can
give you night vision, so you wouldn't need lights to see in the
dark."
Hmmm, never thought of it that way. I guess it now depends if you want the
'extras' or not. If you chose not to have those extras, I think it would be
perfectly fine. Personally, I think having those extras would be cool. I don't
really care about my humanity. If you were to chose those extras, then my
opinion is undecided. If a person told me that they had something artificial
with extras like that eye, I probably won't consider them any less
human.
Credits are gradually given so you will get full credits in time. It's like the
lottery. You don't get it all at once. you get like a certain amount each month.
That's why it seems that you don't gain much.
Plus, I don't think the mods chose the credits system to make people go away.
It's made that if you participate, you will have enough credits to survive. The
system is made so that even non-wallers can contribute and survive. I know an
example that will definatly give you credits. It's writing a review. It takes
less time than most walls and only requires you to watch the anime which I'm
assuming you already do.
Another way to contribute would be to critisize other people's gallery items.
Although it takes less than 1 redit to see full view, you get more than one if
you comment on it.
Haha, I get this disease all the time. For me, I go around MT looking at walls
that are similar to t he one I'm making and seeing if any ideas can be
incorperated into my wall. Most of the walls I look at are at the top of the
favs list. Hope that helps ^^
EDIT: Just noticed that you have a really long sig. I think the new rules only
allow 3 lines of text.
Nice topic bweb. I have often wondered about where to draw the line between
humanity and machine. But aren't glasses eye aides? Although they are not
robotic, they are not much different. They both help us make up what we have
lost. Many old people are also relying pacemakers in their hearts to keep
themselves alive. I think you should go ahead with it. You're not going to be
any less human if you put on those cybernetics. It's up to you though because
it's your body ^^ Also, you'll pave the way for future generations ^^
So you have all the frames of the gif but not the complete animated gif? If so,
you'll need a program called Imageready(it comes with photoshop and it should be
located in the Adobe folder). If you don't have it, then go on google and serach
for a frrames animator program. Open the program and put each frame on a
seperate layer in the order you want it to go(bottom layer is first frame).
Delete any unneccesary frames. Then on the top menu, you click
Window>animation . Then a wide window will pop up. Near the top left, there
is a little button with an arrow on it. Click it and select 'Make frames from
layers'. Then, on the top menu, select File>save optimized as... and save
your gif. Then you should be done. Then you can upload it ! Hope that helps ^^

Yeah, I've had that too. The text description for gallery items just dissappear and appear randomly. Maybe it's because I'm using IE to go on MT...
I have quite a few of those brushes if you want ^^ Just pm me and I'll send them!
EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot this tutorial

I am a digital artist because my 'traditional' skills are really bad. I respect traditional style artists more though because it's a lot of hard work.
Darcia from Wolf's Rain.
Yup ^^ She's' really good. I especeially like Garden of Everything.

I cried when they said they were continuing with the series. It should have ended at 80 smething, if not 90.
