Sounds good to me. Not too short and not too long to bore the audience. I'd support it. ^^ (Just that be sure to state the contest rules and details very clearly.)

Thanks for the advice...did it already^^,
This is the first group I made...so I'm still a little clueless...lol
Arigatou..ja^^

Quote by Heaven-PhoenixEh... your wording was kind of confusing. xD;;

I guess...it depends. For vectors, it's probably easier to just do it on the computer with a graphics program by tracing the lines. But if you're gonna create something new, it's probably easier to sketch it out, trace the lines with a pen (Or those tools that manga artists use. Can't really remember the names of those tools. ), then scan it.

Well, just whatever method you're most comfortable with I suppose. xD;;

haha oops sry ^^ yer thks for the help heven san just wanted to see how ppl feel see ^^'

Quote by Heaven-PhoenixWell, it really depends on what you want, the characters, events, etc... Each era has it's own shining points.

Personally, I don't really mind as long as it fits. I like manga with Magical elements in it, or some mystical/supernatural powers. I guess...Pre-Modern or Post-Modern, if you really want a definite answer. ^^;;

Thanks for replying, and don't worry there will be magical elements.

Quote by Kikyo1986That part of having a 'serious problem' actually was a little joke of mine, guess ppl take me too serious sometimes I do try to be funny from time to time, you know

Actually, I didn't mean what I said that seriously either. I was just kinda lazy at that time not to put that last emoticon there. (After all, I had my 2nd wisdom tooth pulled out a few days ago. It hurt like hell. )

Argh, that sounds awful, you feeling better now? Now that you mention it, I think mine are coming through too. But I don't want them to be pulled, it's scary

Thank you for replying to my thread, "What do you look for in anime/manga?," and for sharing your opinion!

Quote by Heaven-PhoenixOf course I wish I've never been there, especially with how my surgery went. xD;;

Well, the surgery wasn't really anything special other than they had to inject the paralyzing needle into my spine (yes, where the main nerves are and such). Then I didn't feel anything. Not even the cutting or anything of that sort. What's worse was what came after. Once the numb feeling was gone, I had a headache for 2 weeks.

I didn't see the use of that operation though, since they only removed a few of my minor blood vessels. ^^;;

Wow, that seems really scary to me. First of all I'm scared of needles but messing around at your spine, that's really dangerous. Maybe it's a good thing you came off with only a headache, even if it's for 2 weeks! It could've end up much worse (Yes, I'm quite a pessimist ^^)
But then again, it's quite uncomfortable to have a headache for so long. I'm glad you're okay now!

Quote by Heaven-PhoenixI'm okay with my English name, but I don't really like my Chinese name. My Chinese name is....too "showing". Like, people will only need to see it once, and will remember me. Not to mention the next few times they see my name, they can make jokes out of it, especially with the Taiwanese kids/teens. I hate that, yet none ever realizes. ;;

Anyways, I'd like a new name, for both my English and Chinese one. For my English one, I sorta want it to be the Romaji form of some Japanese name. For my Chinese name, I just want it to be not so....unique. Least not unique in the way that stupid Taiwanese kids/teens can make lame nicknames for me.

I don't have an idea of a perfect name at the moment though. So I can't really share anything.

Wow, you actually put some serious thinking into this! Well, I'd say, don't listen to those stupid jokes about your name, just try to ignore them
My name is rather unique too, and I hate it as well, but there's not much you can do about it, is there ^^

...For the advice!

Quote by Heaven-PhoenixYou don't have to, though it's probably best if you did, since there is a lot of resemblance. After all Tsubasa Chronicles is like...most of the CLAMP animes kinda merged into 1 (So if you watched Cardcaptor Sakura, Chobits, xxxHolic, Magical Knight Rayearth, etc..., you'll find a lot of similar things in Tsubasa.) with the story main characters being Sakura and Syaoran crossed over from CCS, along with 2 new original characters (Fye and Kurogane).

Basically it's really up to you. Either way works. ^^

I've only watched CCS and Chobits before, but I liked Tsubasa. =D

Oooooh okay. Thanks so much! It was REALLY helpful!
i've watched to first two episodes so far. It's REALLY goood^_^ I need ta buy it!
I really appreciate you taking the time to help me^_^ THANKS!

Quote by Heaven-PhoenixI have never gotten into a real relationship before, but I'll see what I can suggest. ^^;;

Hm...seems like you handled the situation quite nicely/maturely (even though it didn't really turn out to be in your favor at the moment). No fighting or hating is good, so keep that up. ^^

About going out with other guy, if you still hold strong feelings for the guy you already love, I wouldn't advise doing that. It would be going against your will, plus it might even worsen the situation (and you'll have to deal with the new guy in the picture). Plus you'd want to show the devotion/loyalty to the guy of your heart, right?

Anyways, in your case... I'd say... don't give up just yet! You might not win his heart in the end, but why not work for it? If you don't even try, or give up half-way, then chances are you'll never be able to win his heart. Even if he ends up with another girl, you can still remain friends with him. No one said that if you can't win the one you love, you must stay away from him/her, and no one has the right to decide who your friends are other than you yourself and the person you want to be friends with. Like...this is democracy, right? You have free will, freedom of speech, and all that. You'll still have to deal with that other girl though, unfortunately. But it's the same, don't give up. Keep on moving the way you do, not hating/hurting her. I know it'll hurt a lot (I've been in an argument with a friend before TWICE (and basically kinda broke up), but both times we managed to act maturely and got back together again. We're having fun now. ), but it should work out in the end somehow. ^_^ (The humble man will win! Boyeah! )

Just remember don't be bothered by what others think. YOU and the guy are the ones who will determine the result. After all, love works out only if both sides love each other. Also, don't pressure the guy. Make him feel comfortable around you. Make the atmosphere pleasant for him, so he'll probably come to you more. =D

Mm...that's all I can think of at the moment. Note they're just suggestions/advices. Feel free to agree and disagree with bits and pieces of it. 'cause I'm not the one in charge. I'm just trying to help. ^^

As a final note...Wish you good luck with your relationship with the guy of your heart!

Thank you so much for your post, it meant alot. I think you give excellent advice considering you haven't been in a serious relationship. Please keep up the good work.^_^

Thanks so much for the post. I appreciate it and i think it was very helpful advice coming form someone who has never been in a serious relationship. ^_^

Whoah. Next time reply in the thread you posted your wallpaper in pleaze. (Or through PM)

I didn't mean they looked like ghosts though. I was just trying to describe it. xD;;

Hm...yes. The wallpaper is not so vibrant anymore. Looks pretty smooth now. ^^ It's okay to me, but I'm still quite worried if you plan to submit that. ^^;; Mm....maybe you could try to search for stuff like brushes and textures from graphic sites like Aethereality.net. Experiement with them, and see what you can get. ^^

Hey! I'm not a graphics thief! Don't you dare suspect me!

Sure. I can continue to comment on your wallpaper if you want. ^^ (Just not in my guestbook. xDD)
Mm....well, stock photos isn't always a must. You can show me the stock photos you used though. I'll see what I can come up from it. ^^
