Really? Hum. The background is just a mash of brushes.

Haha, sweet! I'll have to visit korea one day then. 5'4"? w00t! I'm taller =D

Ahh, I donno. I just love anime. Anime always has several plots in one. regular shows only have like one plot in the series. You really get sucked into the story in anime. I watched a few series that were like "meh" in the beginning, but after the 1st or 2nd episode I was like "WOW!" I loved Furi Kuri (AKA FLCL or Fooly Cooly) so much, I watched all 6 episodes in a row at night from 1am to 4am. Not to mention the characters are all very well thought out. There is massive detail in them, especially the ones which are mostly old school and original character designs are drawn by hand.

Thanks =) That girl is Misaki Suzuhara from Angelic Layer! One of my favorite animes of all time. Dear god I love CLAMP's work! <3 Chobits! I am reading the manga now on and off.

Thanks :) Thats actually the first signature I made without getting help from people. I started off doing a couple of tutorials and all to get to know brushing and stuff. I was really bad at blending. It is actually one of my favorite that I made. She very cute :) Shes Sei from Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel is the name of the english dub) Shes actually 19 years old ;) Not 12-14 like all the other animes I watch. I mostly watch Shojo, Magical Girl (same thing but girls with magic), Comedy, Romance, Drama, Science Fiction, Action. I find Mechs to be way over done in anime =/ There have been some Ecchi and Yuri animes which I like. He Is My Master is a VERY perverted anime (hence it being in the Ecchi genre) but the story is very well told and it has cute 14yr/o maids in kinky outfits. haha. Chobits is also considered Ecchi, but is the first anime I ever watched and I absolutely love. Chii is soo damn cool and the story is so awesome. It made me cry :( So did Fooly Cooly, and CCS :(

Looks very nice!! If you want to know how I did the "Shine" effect, its very simply. Several easy steps.

Make a new layer on the top and go to image -> apply image. Then use motion blur at like 45d with like 100-150 strength. Set layer to Soft Light
Repeat, but use -45 for the angel.
Repeat, use 0 this time for angel but this time set it to lighten.

And ta da! Shinyness =) It might be a too much so lower opacity on layers. I find that if its super bright using 30% on the lighten layer, and 60-80% on the soft light layers works well.

What he said. Just several layers of brushes with different effects. I adjust the levels once in a while because I brush in white and it gets super shiny fast.

Very nice :) The text is a little hard to read from far away I think. Try using white or something. I love the brushing though.

No worries

Oh yea. It is kinda hard to see. My friend helped me out and taught me some new stuff. He's pretty good at this whole photoshop thing. I showed him the thread and it looks like he'll be popping in with some of his own work.

It took me some time to get a good mount but after hard mounting and redoing my loop I finally got it right. I'm not sure what was wrong before. Very nice block. Was it worth the purchase? Yes, I get high 30c idle.
