I must have a really bad habit of only coming here when my lifeblood forum I always go to dies. I must make a conscious effort to stay here more often aieee. @_@ Yeah, I'm a pretty old user here. Some of you may recognize me, or maybe not, but I'm just going to start over here. After some failed log in attempts today for forgetting my password, I'm finally back. :D Hoorah!

It seems like the strangers at this forum are way more friendly and INTERESTED in my graphics than the people I've known for a couple of years now on other forums to be looking at my stuff which I am thankful for frankly.

Some of my stuff I've made recently within the year. I admit I've been having a hard time getting some inspiration lately. I hope that changes soon by hanging around this place.

I initially had a third image at the far left in this one, but decided to take it out because even though it was a slightly funny picture, it didn't fit with the rest of the theme and it got crowded. I was eventually too lazy to go to the video (D'espairsRay's Squall PV; has nothing to do with Squall from Final Fantasy VIII) and take another screen shot of Tsukasa (Drummer of D'espairsRay).

Request, and its Tsukasa again! Oh yeah, that grin is so artificial. Real one here where he's not really grinning at all...

Though I worked on this for a very long time, it didn't really amount too much because of horrid me not being inspired. Also, I do NOT know how to make 3D renders and at the moment, refuse to use free ones. If I knew how, I'd just slap it in the back for a background and probably call it good. But noooo... By the way, that's Monica Argento from Trinity Blood; no she's not in the anime from what I remember.

The D'espairsRay guys again. As you might've guessed, I'm pretty obsessed. Tsukasa on both sides, Hizumi (vocalist) in the center. This was actually really, really, really old but it never really amounted to much and still didn't in the end.

This one, I basically just drew what I felt over their faces and yeah, I am a drawer outside of PhotoShop, I just never posted traditional drawings here. The drawings are self explanatory I think. The initials "F" and "D" on the cheek are from my really old username, FierceDragon, which I've had since I was 10... And what a lot of people remember me by. Cheesy? Oh well.

This is the really REALLY old version I was talking about. Thought it was too busy even though I liked the border and the colors.

Request... Or basically something I just made but gave away. Hiroto from Alice Nine (really good-looking band, terrible, terrible music).

Tora, from Alice Nine. Yeah um... really simple and nothing real artistic-worthy *twitch*.

Shou, from Alice Nine. Argh, again a pretty much failed tag. I really just wanted to put imaginary "flat" rainbow headphones on him. You know rainbow headphones would rule.

Request I did for someone of Chipp Zanuff from Guilty Gear. I don't know much about Guilty Gear, but it seems like they got one of the coolest character lineups in there. And Chipp is on our American team, fellas. :D I also hear he is a super fast fighter in the game. Weak, but fast. But hey, you gotta sacrifice something for speed.

Tadashi from Plastic Tree looking o-so handsome. >_> I wanted this to look pretty fancy so I placed some purple patterns over the shirts. And I wanted something that looked like a set of twins so I took two separate images of Tadashi and placed with next to each other.

Yeah I know, I wouldn't be the last one to admit that I have some pretty disappointing pieces there out of my rut lately.

I was never one to really make avatars, either. Mainly because I had to work with a 100 x 100 space, it was too small, at least for me, most of the time. My usual size is around 150 x 150.

http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/7681/aoicopyyt1.png

I thought Aoi's (the GazettE) pose in that photo of him was real good looking. But an otherwise uninspired icon...

Something to go with that Chipp Zanuff tag. You couldn't see his face from the tag but you can in the avatar. :D

My current avatar which sadly had to be resized to fit the forum's rules... Aye...

rukincopyem1.png

http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/2568/rukincopyem1.png

Definitely one of my favorite icons ever. Using some lighting and colors. I didn't want the text to be just out there, nor to be nonexistent, but I didn't want it to overwhelm the thing, so I had to put the words "rest in peace" quietly in the corner and faintly... Ruki (the GazettE).

merricopybh8.png

http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/6238/merricopybh8.png

A guy from Merry. I don't know which band member he is, but yeah. >_>... Also, this might've been wrong of me to do to some folks but I assume the band members of Merry are fairly old, so I had to remove a rather prominent parentheses wrinkle around his mouth... But I bet you didn't notice I did that editing now did ye? :x I used a similar blue-green color in the avatar above since I really like that color. o.o

This is probably too simplistic to even mention but I was in dire need of an icon at the time and just quickly cropped and edited this. No, he does not really have hair that extends that long which I just quickly pen tool'ed for. But the beauty of the shot was originally how white and minimal it looked. Thought I'd share.

These I probably posted last time, but I'll just add them.

I'm new to making animated stuff, but here are some things I made from D'espairsRay's Squall PV. I'm not a really big fan of that song at all (kind of hate it), but the video did look nice and D'espa isn't one to make a million PVs for us fans either. ;-; If you want to know why I don't like the song Squall, well here's my answer: Its great that Dray (nickname for D'espairsRay) wants to experiment since this sounds almost like pop... Which is way out of the realm of say, industrial metal and nu-metal that I'm used to with them. Dray also seems to be making PVs out of songs that I am not as fond of as some others. I mean, why couldn't they make a PV of Garnet instead of BORN? Why couldn't they make a PV out of Abel to Cain instead of Squall? Why couldn't they make a PV out of DAMNED instead of TRICKSTER/TRICKSTAR? There's a buttload of other reasons but most of you probably don't even know what a Dray is. ._.

These animations may be simple to some of you pro animation folks, but it took me awhile to do this stuff and a lot of frustration. I mean a lot.

Keeping these as links because they are HUGE files. Small, but big files because I wanted to keep a lot of frames for smoother animation.

http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w254/robouprising/fixx2.gif

I am such a lover of Tsukasa, I decided to clip most things from the Squall PV into this single animation. I wanted it to flow well indefinitely and I think I achieved that. A lot of these were small tiny clips throughout the Squall PV you might've missed just watching the video once. I timed each section carefully so you get to see a clear face shot (slower frame rate here) throughout the animation and I had to do a lot of rearranging as well as clipping out a ton of frames while keeping it looking smooth without such a big file size.

http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w254/robouprising/Hizufin.gif

WARNING, THE ABOVE GIF CONTAINS A BIT OF EXPLICIT MATERIAL.

This was an easier one to make. Much less frames than the Tsukasa one above. Showing my crazy mad obsession with them and it was a nice shot with the camera panning (that's what you call it right?) around Hizumi.

I spent quite a bit of time in making this post so it'd be nice if you actually dropped by to drop a line. I will answer any question(s) you want or if you need some help in PS, I can do that as well. Animations were made using VirtualDub, KMPlayer, and AnimationShop.
 
The left hand side of the first two banners seem a little too blank for my tastes (ignore my own sig, thanks. :monster: ), but really, I'm loving what you've presented thusfar. I don't know how anyone can not be interested in what you've done. ;p

All-in-all, this isn't criticism... just thought I'd say your style is intriguing. :wacky:
 
I'm actually in awe at this stuff, well done!!

Thank you! :)

Yeah, I agree. u.u;; I actually like what you have (your current set). Thanks for the comment. :D
 
lol i'm new here this is the first time i see you ...^^ ok back to your designs....
AAAH thats rock man ....brilliant brilliant brilliant brilliant......
creative style fascinating colors awesome texts and lovely lightings my fav is shou one i don't understand why you so dispointed about it believe me the headphone is fine ... for your avatars all of them cool but the merry guy one is pretty awesome in my opinion...hope to see you next stuff..^^
 
Gosh, those are very nice. I like the color and lighting you used.

Hrmm don't see very many D'espairsRay fans around. :( It's hard to find some of their songs.

Wow, I really appreciate for the comments and the colorful post. XD I have my reasons not liking the Shou one. Its just too empty for me. And the reason why you've never seen me before was because I was half dead the whole time.

Thank you. :D Dray isn't too hard to find. I got their albums just by Google and going to some J-Rock forums. I have their entire discography... Though I'm not at all too much of a fan of their old stuff, definantly love their Coll:set (2005) and MIRROR (2007) albums.

Too bad there isn't a forum to share files. Not like this place would endorse it anyway... Heh heh heh.
 
God your work is fantastic! Im in awe here and very jealous. Keep them sexcellent pieces up!

Thank you so much! :3 Ah don't worry, I get envious with other people's work. @-@ But its what keeps me driven. I'm basically inspired by envy. D: Sounds kinda bad, and it sorta is. D: Thanks again for reviving my thread!

I haven't made graphics lately. Been way too busy with some of my other obsessions.

Other than my current set, that is probably the only thing new, but nothing special at all... They were really uninspired.

It's weird with me, when I can't do graphics, its almost like a phone call for me to do traditional work and suddenly I get inspired in another medium, and it switches back and forth. When one's dead, the other is alive. o.o I will have to try and do something traditional soon. :)

And thanks to everyone who viewed but never really said anything. ._. Comments and criticism are well appreciated!

It's like on DeviantArt, I value a comment more than a favorite. Like my friend said, "a single comment is worth a thousand favorites."
 
Beautiful pieces there. But Ia gree, being driven by envy can be a good thing. Cant wait to get my photoshop up and running on my new PC soon! Any good tutorials you can give us please?

I haven't looked at a tutorial for a long time other than the ones on DeviantArt for coloring and line art.

But I have to say some of the most useful ones were the icon tutorials off LiveJournal. Yeah, anyone can make an icon, but its the special techniques in there that you may learn that you've never done before!

Here's a sweet set of tutorials:

http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=icon_tutorial

You might need to have an LJ account to see them though, but I think its worth the sign-up. Something different other than Good-Tutorials.

If you want to know how I did any of the stuff you see, its ok to ask. ^^
 
That's some impressive work you've got there. :monster:

Your style is very appealing.

Thanks for the comment Dark Remnant. :3

EDIT:

Among other things, I haven't done too much in the graphics department. School and now exams next week. *twitch*
