Haha, I've just gotten really addicted to photoshop is all ^^; It came with my laptop, and I've never had it before, so I've gone a little nuts.

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

Heyyyyyy waitaminute....  you're shounen kakumei akio from AoD aren't you?   Welcome aboard!  cool  You may recognize me as Serial Experiments NieA over there.

Now I'm wondering if aquapermanence or monika or any of the others are here lurking around (or actively posting and I just didn't know it!) somewhere too...

Back on topic, those paintings are great!  I especially like the second one.

I adore the way you have the light playing on utena's hair in the last one.  perfect.

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

OR I CAN DRIVE MYSELF NUTS TRYING TO MAKE A LAYOUT I'LL PROBABLY DECIDE I HATE ANYWAY.

I'm seriously an idiot. 'Wow I've been working so hard on the gallery. I've been in Photoshop so much I see it in my sleep. I will take a break! :opens Photoshop and works on a layout:'

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

If I stop for anything it'll be to read my idiot textbook for my idiot Psych of Personal Effectiveness class.

You can see then why I'm working on the layout.

Well actually I do have cooking to do, but not for a while yet...I'm thinking I might take pictures this time, since I'm making...well I don't know, but it'll be different.

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

Hey, hey, aside from the graininess and bad line quality and strange colors and need for excessive amount of work to make anything decent and lack of filters and layers...MS paint is actually okay.

I mean, really.

I think it's good.

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

I can get a lot done in MS Paint, but it takes much longer than it normally would. Yesterday my friend showed me how to make Utena's hair in five minutes in PhotoShop, whereas it took me five hours to do it in MS Paint.

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

It's blending colors that really kills me. There're so many layers I have to go through in Paint, when I can use the actual tool in Photoshop.

Saionji doesn't look nearly as buff as he did in that exhibitionist balcony scene. How do they fit those muscles in those skinny sleeves? emot-biggrin

I'm still there posting almost daily, maybe just not the same threads you have been. emot-keke  Ironically (and this goes for here too, strangely enough), as much as I love picking apart Utena, I try not to devote too much time to interpretation threads since I am still enjoying picking apart the series myself, and I want to avoid any excess influence from the outside.  I'm due for another re-watch of the series soon (it's been more than a year, maybe close to two now emot-gonk ), so maybe after that I'll take another look at the interpretations and offer some of my own insight. school-eng101

So yeah, it's kind of a weird way to go about it, but that's just my own peculiarity in the SKUniverse. emot-biggrin

Re: Submissions for Update 01/31/07

I'm a bit similar in that sense too, because some theories I pick up on by visiting forums destroy my own but it's always a good chance to see theories about characters I never thought deeply of before. And the fan art is always awesome to look at around here ;)
