Thanks dug, yeah Hatsune Miku is a favorite anime figure of mine, was glad they turned out well.

Need your thoughts on a comparison Which do you think looks better Where she is in front of the downpour --OR-- Where she is in the downpour

Lol i meant changing the Thread title info to say New Additions or whatever the user wants to put there. Edit: nevermind apparently its because i wasnt in "full editor mode" when editing or posting

Such creativity so many things to look at. Very nicely done!! Kampai!!

Neko Wallpaper Edit: Is it just me or are these last bunch of images lesser quality due to me belting out images??? I can't tell if im imagining it or what lol.

Again thankyou! It's also nice to find someone else who loves nekos and nekomimi here on the forum.

ShinichiOkazaki, are you a cat lover and love nekomimi anime characters, cuz i am lol. I could make a wallpaper yeah (in fact im using Kinetic Flow as a wallpaper, though its only the top 60%, I think it looks good) Like this: and thankyou I enjoy doing anime subject pieces. Here are my 2 latest Any and all opinions are welcome!

On that note, I have been unable to figure out how to do what drew dale said about New and dates etc. ever since the forum layout had changed. I could use some help with that.

I newest string of works over the last four days. I told it to resize during upload to 800 x 600, but if any turn out to be beyond that please inform me.

When I say open I mean Open New blank project. As for brushes, it allows you to save the smoke image as a stamp/brush so you don't (a ) have to redo the whole process of cleaning the image up from ground zreo again or (b ) search for the image to add into the work, i just find it easier and more friendly. As for the background issue, did you merge the brush (which is with a transparent checkered background) with a black underlying layer before applying the flame effect? If not thats the issue, the black background is needed to be merged so the flame effect only touches the white smoke. Sorry again for my hasty judgement.

Very true EER I overlooked that. Also I don't mean to sound rude, so for the part I paly, my sincere apologies. Edit: Wow 2nd page xD

Oh my Gosh I love Hatsune Miku!! And i love Nekomimi which it seems you like as well! Yippee

I can't make it anymore straight forward. It's already written step by step. Anyone that has saved documents before should remember that Open New is the first option under the File tab, and opens a new whatever that program is used for. Thus it would open and new canvas in Paint.net. The tutorial is self explainatory. Forgive my frankness but this tut won't be able to be of use to anyone who doesn't first know how to navigate a computer. Edit: And also, the tutorial plainly lists the plugins needed for it, so if you have to wonder what I mean by brushes and custom brushes, you need to familiarize yourself with paint.net, the forum, and simpler tuts that need less plugins.

The image was much larger (1444px by 534px) but i resized it for paint.net, then again so it was sig size for the competition. xD

Done sorry and thankyou minners

Hahaha no I'm 5'10 with Blonde hair. I never assumed you looked like me but I was surprized with some similarities xD

Lol I saw this and I was like "Now why have I never thought of that as a studio productions name etc. (I make many logos for studios and such) Also it makes me curious. Do you have ADHD/ADD too?? I'm starting to wonder if you are my double or a me from another life! Creepy xD

This one took awhile until I was satisfied with it. Still not sure I'm 100% happy with it, but I could be overthinking it haha. This one centers on the picking up on and absorbing of the feelings, emotions, and moods given off by other people. It's often very overwhelming.

Both are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. However due in part probably to my somewhat creative/ADD caused love of depth and lighting etc in spacescapes, I have to go with Mr. Bobert's sig. Bobert- 3 Winner NN- 2 My turn after a long time away

Newest work (yeah I have been using anime characters to help portray the idea a bit more) This one is more the 2 sides of pain within the same person. Let me know what you think

I'm glad you like it. Alone is my fav as well, and I'm glad the raw emotion is evident, as that is the "embodiment" of my emotions at the time. And yes the time away was refreshing, and has helped me have more thought and feeling to put into works. (Sometimes I even create works based on others feelings, as I'm cursed with intuition due to ADD and can feel others emotions as if they were my own.)

Having recently learned more and more about my specific ADD situation and how it affects me, I realize that I put my feelings and emotions into every creation of mine. It is a strong source of inflow and as a result effects everything I create during outflow. Anyways I have been doing a lot of thinking again over issues and struggles I have gone through in my life and seen how they all relate. I continue to struggle and push my way through, but have faced much discouragement over certain situations. These feelings have resulted and culminated into this work. The anime boy and the chalk guitarist sketches are the only outside sources. Please let me know what you think.

Hey everyone, sorry I was gone for quite some time. I moved from Virginia back to Colorado in November, so I was busy for a while, then I had a lack of some ideas in general, then after Christmas I was messing around practicing with my new Wacom Intuos 5 tablet. So here I am to update you on a few new things I put together, I'm pretty close to turning 18 so I have been busy with a lot of other things haha. My current Desktop background An image I found online and decided to mess with, the text on the guitar was hand done with my new Intuos 5 tablet I brightened her eyes up, put a silver engraved name on the guitar and added the text, I know its not much to have changed but I couldn't think of how to give this one a background due to the bench outline she is sitting on.

I realize it's likely no issue with Paint.net, but it still makes no sense that it works fine to open all that night and then can't open the very next day (like 12 hours later). Any suggestions you can give are appreciated (obviously this is not an uncommon issue, but that doesn't tell me anything about fixing it) Edit: Frankly, I don't even know how to go about figuring out why it's doing/what is causing the issue, much less fix it
