About Me

* If a thumbnail catches your attention enough for you to take a look at it, then it's probably worth commenting on. Even the smallest comments go a long way for people - especially the ~'s that aren't well acquainted with this site.

* My stance on favs: My favs hold less value than my comments. I put more time and care into commenting than I do with clicking the little +fav button. While I understand the +fav is a nice rewarding compliment, I feel that communities turn this reward into a "hates me/standards are too high/only favs friends" kind of ordeal. To me, +favs are simply for my own reference/collection in the "My Favorites" account page. I collect +fav walls that hold a special appeal to me, not based on skill, but just because the wall holds a unique appeal to my tastes. Think of it as something as trivial as "favorite color" or "favorite TV show."

* Why am I so obsessed with the "~" symbol? Because I've always held a negative perspective on people using "." at the end of their sentences haha. I think sometimes the period just seems so assertive while the squiggly just seems so much more flowy and nicer. Example? "Nice job." "Nice job~" The tone is different, yes?

* I'm always open to continue discussing walls in PMs, IMs, or on UPs. While my activity on this site is sporadic, I will always try my best to get back to you on things :)

* If you need advice/help/suggestions, feel free to ask. Again, I can't guarantee a quick response but I will try my best to help you!

* When people do comment on your work or +fav it, try to thank them. I'm not saying go to each UP and say "thanks"... It's just that people don't get thanked enough in life. If they give you a nice gesture, why not try to return it if you have the time to do so?

* Don't under-appreciate the devs, mods, and admins here. There's a lot more things that happen behind the scenes that builds up the effectiveness and success of this site.

Yeaa I have been on AP for a LONG time lol.

Even before I registered. I was lurking AP for around 3-6 months before I made an account to favorite wallpapers. AP has grown A LOT. I only wish I was involved in the community since then. ^^

Thanks, yup I haven't made digital water before. XD
Yea, the leaves look like donuts, as mentioned by asa. lol
Hmm more contrast on her...where would you like? Most of her is underwater, so there's a lot of dull blue covering her.
Lol yay ruffles! Surprisingly I think they took the least amount of time to paint, only like 3 layers. D:

Indeed I have come a very long way.

I remember my long break from walling. I always wanted to do another wallpaper. The amount of started and incomplete projects slowly increased. I do not remember them all but I did a lot of line work.

The break was something I needed. I was really bummed out my wallpaper before it was really bad in terms of score. Being as excited as I was back then it was a huge blow. I went back to just lurking AP and learning from other wallpapers. There were a lot of mistakes I found in my own wallpapers and took note. Then after a while I watched Ga-rei Zero with my friend and really loved the anime.

Combining all those little things and passion I was able to push myself to complete a wallpaper. I had done every single detail down to a bolt and tiny hair strand shadow. My friend kept teasing me about "no way you made this" and how it looked like a movie poster.

Sometimes I look back at my wallpapers and look through them all. I improved so much without regularly releasing wallpapers. It was like I had a eureka moment.

I am just hoping that I inspire other people who started walling never to give up. As I was inspired also by wall artists like vitaamin, Nysha, and grayserg. Even someone like me who started off with not-so-great vectoring skills can become substantially better with patience and practice.

Thanks for the comment, favorite, and maybe reading my long rant lol.

I'm glad to hear from you too ^_^

Life has been busy as always. In my spare time I've been watching a lot of anime and manga though... I'm a bit behind on the times, but recently I just finished D. Gray Man and I was so upset when it ended.

I HATE THE TREND OF MAKING ANIME LONG BEFORE THE MANGA IS FINISHED!

The anime usually never ends properly (or at all) this way :=[ emoticon


I see in your blog you wrote you're working on a new project. I can hardly wait! (9+_+) emoticon

Take care and keep in touch~

PS: It's awesome that you're a House MD fan! It's one of two TV shows I actually make an effort to watch! ::high five::

I've been pretty good. I rarely go on msn cuz I'm not used to it so I don't get to talk to you that often anymore. XD I guess I'll see you more on the forums since the work load is going down for you. Hows your project coming along did you get to work on it during your busy times?
