OK, then should we have something along the lines of "Optional: If you have any gallery items inspired by music, please present them after being approved into the group". That way members won't feel obliged to present their works :)


Sounds good. o:

Quote:
Well, you can always check out the gallery on AP, I have an account there so getting a scan isn't a problem. Just look around there and if you find something you like give me the link; else I'll use the scan you gave me the link to, k?
Aw, don't say it like that! It's not like I'm making you make me a gift >_< Take it slowly, you don't need to make it ASAP :)

Wow, the AP gallery kicks ass. I think I like these three the best (I'll order it in terms of prefrence).
LINK1
LINK2
LINK3

Just choose whichever one is easiest to work with! The only problem is that they wouldn't match the earthy color scheme I wanted. I suppose you could use the colors predominatley used in the scans or something.

I know you're not making me make you a gift, but I want to. You've been so kind and good to me, that I wanna show you my appreciation and stuff. ^^

Quote by temarigeniusPande is just a genius in making layouts >_< I admire her skills :D
And yea, she make lots of layouts for other people... Maybe Pande has this secret technique to make layouts fast and nice X-P

Isn't it still summer break? She probably just has a lot more free time, or something. If I had more free time, I'd spend it making wallpapers and layouts. Soon, I'm gonna have some more free time, but not as much as I used to. Gonna be getting a job soon.

But, alas, that is what comes about when one reaches adulthood. It's strange, I still feel and act like I'm 15 or something. But people call me things like "sir" and mistake me for someone a lot older (like getting ID'd when my mom is buying whine for herself, or getting asked if I would like to register to vote). My brother never gets asked that, but that's probably because he shaves his facial hair (I'm currently working on a mustache and possible beard), and he has long hair while I keep mine really short.

Quote by pandeOooh, I can't wait for a contest! I think we'll need 20+ members for that, though it's not that important as all members are wallers and serious people :) But I'm looking forward to the section when we'll have enough new works! Now we only have older ones which members introduce to the group. By the way, I was thinking of adding a rule that asks members to present their music-related artworks after being admitted in the group. How does that sound?


We're well on our way to getting 20 members. We already have 16! XD
If we added that sort of rule, it'd make it seem like it's mandatory, which it shouldn't be. Some people might not want their old work in the gallery... for whatever reason.

Quote: Look, you send me the links to the scans you'd like and I'll see what I can do about them, OK? If they need to be partially vectored, no problem, I've done it before. Plus, you deserve a great UP because you're awesome! :3 *hugs*
And if you want any headers (like I have) or any other graphics, just let me know.


I dunno about that "awesome" comment, but okay. P=
I kinda like this scan: LINK
Note the keyword "kinda". The BECK gallery sucks on MT, and it's hard to find any decent ones through google as well. I really just want anything serious looking with a guitar (because I did come across quite a few images of cute girls with guitars... but bleh). As for headers, I guess I would only need... 4? One for the about me, another for my friends; then one for latest wallpaper (gonna add that soon); and then one for gifts I've received and such (which I also need to add...).
And now I feel spoiled again. XD
And I feel awful that I haven't had any time to make you a gift. ;_;

Quote by temarigeniusI didn't find out how to put a layout until recently... ^_^'
The lovely complex layout was the first layout I ever put on :nya:
I can only do basic coding too ^_^'
And wow! Pande is going to make you a new layout? It's going to be so cool~ :D
Pande is just a genius is userpage designing! >_<


Yeah, tell me about it. She's bloody brilliant. I wonder where she get's all the time to make them for others. I can barely find the time to make one. XD

f

Okay, so ya made me cry. AND NOW YOU OWE ME SOMETHING. (not really)

And now I see that you are into power metal and symphonic power metal. Would you be interested in joining a group I formed, like, two weeks ago? It's called depths-of-sound. Check it out! If it seems like something you'd be interested in, please join! :nya:

Quote by ArtificialRaindropAAAH! Blackmail! XD But on a more serious note, it's absolutely something I'd be interested in :) Music often inspires my work, so I went ahead joined. Thanks for the invitation!

Oh yay! Feel free to post links to any of your previous works that were inspired by music. And I'll be looking forward to seeing you there. =D

Quote by Ori-chan
Actually my plan failed... I'll make one soon... but it won't be considered a promo wallie anymore, just a wall for the gallery.

My original two plans failed as well. Though I've found a perfect one that I'll start on as soon as I finish the remaining bits of that project that has been eating up all of my time. )=

Quote by Anja When I was making this I wondered the whole time: "What do I have to smoke to make the cigarette smoke look like this?" XD


One would probably get that effect when smoking some sort of hard drug. XD Though only they'd be able to see the pretty colors. [DISCLAIMER: DEVIN DOES NOT CONDONE THE USE OF DRUGS IN ANY WAY. DEVIN HOLDS NO RESPONSIBILITY.]

Quote: I think the group is coming along nicely so far, don't you agree? =3

Better than I expected, actually. I mean, we already have 14 or 15 members. I have to admit that it took longer to get the group up and running than I had originally planned, but our team knows how to work together well. And I'm super glad that you accepted my request of admin-ship. A lot of people are praising the layout you designed. XD

I need to start writing the first Band Highlight soon. I'm probably gonna be busy on the 31st, so I'll need to get it done before hand, and email it to Pande so that she can update it in my absence. I also found this adorable scan that personifies my main reasons of starting the group. There is this young woman (who would be me... I guess), placing her headphones on her younger sister (Minitokyo). The real motive for my to start DoS was to share my profound knowledge of musicians with the average anime fan. P=

f

Ah shit, I missed your birthday! >.<
I feel awful! T_T
Well, happy bilated birthday, I guess. I'm sorry I wasn't able to make you a gift. But you know the drill - been uber busy. :/
Oh, and I finally got that group up if you are interested. depths-of-sound
Again, I am so sorry! -_-

f

Quote by temarigeniusLots of people like you too! :D
Ok ok~ I will go and post in the guestbook now~
I think your coding is good... Your userpage is really nice :)


I suppose so. X-P

I was only able to code my userpage with lotsa help. Most of it's basic coding. But a few minutes, Pande offered to make me a new layout. XD
Apparently she's back in the userpage design business or something. :nya:

f

Hey Ori-chan, do you still want to be the gallery admin? Because there are several people who have posted past works that could be added into the gallery, and I don't want to do anything, in case you wanted to.... or something. P=

Quote by SakuSure.
I'd love to... Just write my status XP and I'll check our members galleries and see how can I add stuff.

Why do I need to write your status? You have access to the admin cp, same as I. XD
And you're less likely to mess up any of the codes.... >_>

Still working on a promo wallie? :o

Quote by DarthTofuHello! Thanks for the fav! And thanks for the invite to your group!
and yeah! Blue Oyster Cult! I knew I forgot something when making that list in the group guestbook. xD


My fav Blue Oyster Cult song is "Don't Fear The Reaper".
I think I should modify my list on my page though.... I have become fans of so many awesome bands in such a short time.... o:
And thank you for joining! ^^

Quote by temarigeniusInkscape... I think I heard it before... Or actually had spot it on someone's computer before XD

Oh! Yay!~ You made the group! :)
It seems really interesting!~ So of course I'll join! :D
And I don't think that I'm popular... ^_^'
I'll ask some people whether if they want to join...
And do you want to affiliate your group with my groups? Some people might see the affiliates :D

I beg to differ. So many people like you, and talk to you. :)
Sure, go post in the group guestbook. That way, Pande will see them. I know next to nothing about codes, while she's our code master (I barely survived adding one affiliate).

Quote by Kittenlol you might be evil underneath...no?

Oh yea! *hits head* I saw it, spaced out from the music on

Evil... DANG, YOU CAUGHT ME! D:

Never curse at your soft spot! It's nice... and soft. *falls asleep on soft spot* mmmm... soft.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Quote by Yoruoh we will wait a little more and see what will happen.
no problem but im busy now i will add affiliate later on.
anyway would you like to chat with me?


Yeah, there's no rush, haha.
When you add my group as an affiliate, let me know and I'll do the same. ^^
Sure, what do you want to chat about? =D

Hey, I'll be here is ya do need cheering up. :D

Of course I will stay tuned! 'Tis the reason I watched you! I will be looking forward to your next submittion with anticipation. :nya:

*returns hug* Would I ever be anything but good? P=

Oh, and I don't mean to be a pest, but did you see my invitation to joining the group I started? o:

f

Quote by pandeWoohoo! Can't wait to see them , the group needs love! <3
Hmmm.... I guess we could call it something flashy, just have to think of something that relates both to art and music >_> And we could change it whenever we find something worthy of mention.

As for the anime, there are a few anime series focusing on music:
- Kiniro no Corda (I've heard it's recent)
- Princess Tutu (music heavily influenced by classical European music)
- Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch (the characters sing a lot, or so I've heard -yeah, I know it's girly but it has to do with music, right? >_>)
..and I'm sure there are many more, I'll hunt them down and make a list :3

As for the water thingy, I looked on SXC and found these: http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=search&txt=water+fountain+splash&w=1&x=0&y=0 Maybe it's what you need?

I dunno if Anja saw my messege asking for them or not. Either she's taking her time, or she forgot I asked. P= Oh well, we don't really need them right this minute anyway.
Because it's a list with the best on it, the whole thing reminded me of a music chart, like the Billboard 200 or something. If we went with the something like that, we could call the three featured wallpapers: "The #1 Spot", "The #2 Spot", and "The #3 Spot" respectively.

Yeah, Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch is about music. I hate that series so much though. XD I have some of the manga.... good thing I didn't spend my own money on it. P=
Some music related ones that I really like are Nodame Cantabile (sp?), BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, and Nana. There has to be more. But again, there aren't too many, so my first concern rears its ugly head: What happens when we run out of series to feature? T_T

Not quite what I need, but thanks for helping. I need an anime spout of water from a fountain. I can't vector real water for shit, so I need something to base it off of. :/

Quote by pande
It sounds interesting, I think we can use it! It would be a more original way to promote artwork and we don't copy any other group's idea either!

MMPPP doesn't appeal to me either, it's got too much shoujo stuff in it >_> I couldn't stand watching it. But some of the members might like it, and it features music. So, we might write a small paragraph about it in lack of series... Here are some more, this is what we have now: BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, Gravitation, Kiniro no Corda, Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, Nana, Nodame Cantabile and Princess Tutu.

Not too long :( That's what I found before I got too bored and gave up looking. I was thinking, how about we review musicals after we're done with anime series? After all, they do feature music...

Why don't you look for a tutorial to paint water? That should be easier than vectoring it... I searched but I couldn't find any good ones, only stuff I find are real fountains, so sorry for not being able to help.

P.S. I ripped your UP theme colors :3

Yeah, but we can't call it Billboard-something-or-other, because Billboard would techincally be able to sue us for copyright infringement.... So we need to come up with a name for our own Music Chart. P:

Like, movie musicals, or theatrical musicals? o:
You should probably ask Saku or something. She wanted me to drop my Band Highlight in favor of the Listener's Choice, but I refused to drop Band Highlight (it was one of the reasons I started the group in the firdt place). But yeah, it seems I have too much say in the group, so you best ask the others. I hate making decisions...

Nah, I think I'll just drop the project. I have an other, better idea that is using a song from the same band. But first, I'll be doing a different one. :3

HOW COULD YOU STEAL MY USERPAGE COLORS!? YOU BETRAYED ME!
Nah, that's okay. I don't care really... and I really wanna change it.

merged: 07-24-2008 ~ 04:28am

Quote by pande
I shall go research the matter :nerd: There HAS to be a word/phrase depicting both music and art!
Any kind of musicals! The more, the merrier, right? :)
And I don't think we should drop any of the two, especially since they're both good ideas. Come on, other groups complain about not having any ideas and we have too many! Anyway, we'll have the 'Band Highlight' changed once in two weeks and the 'Listener's Choice' will be held once a month. I think it's not too complicated and we can handle it.

I sense the boss wants to rebel against his 'subordinates'... XD We'll work it out somehow, don't worry. Let's all work together and it will be much easier!

I wanna see your new UP! Make it fast :3 Or else...Can't think of a good threat right now, I'll get back at ya XD I dost not betray thou, thy UP colors are pretty and require to be stolen (I love this old English)!

Yeah, we;ll have to do more planning on this musical/anime highlight before we implement it. We should really run it by the others, to see what they have to say.
We're not gonna start the Lister's Choice until we have more members, ya know. It'd make more sense. P=

Working together is the shite, ne? XD

I'm not working on one.... much too busy to even start one. I was just expressing my desire to have a new one. >.<

Quote by pande
Oh, oh, I've got and idea! How about 'Art Chart'?! Sounds cheesy, I know, but it works! ^_^'
Can we make an announcement and ask the members if they want an anime/film review section? Maybe some members will agree and even want to contribute. It would be a good thing to have an interactive group, not just the admins running things and members posting... Just my two cents.

If you want, I can make you a UP :D I've got lots of time and don't plan to wall, plus I'm back in the 'skinning' business.

'Art Chart' actually sounds pretty good. XD I like it, and I think it works! :o

Again you're asking me as if I'm the only one to decide. Talk with everyone else to see if they'd agree. We are a team afterall. P=

Wow, sure..... if ya want to, that is. So... what am I supposed to do? Like tell ya the color's I'd like you to use and whatnot?

merged: 07-25-2008 ~ 03:31am

Quote by pande
Cool, so we're gonna use it? *feels proud for naming something*
I'll go talk to Saku, I'll ask her about it :)
*points to 'Requests' section'* Too lazy to type it all... XD


Yeah, we're gonna use it. Though, it's not needed yet. Not enough new work coming in and stuff. Though, the group is growing at a steady pace. Soon we'll be able to start a contest! *so excited*

Well, I wanted BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, but all of the scans I like have a lot of text, and would need to be vectored, or something. I was thinking a grungy theme, with music notes and other music symbols floating around. As for colors, I was invisioning a pale, subdued green layout, with various shades of greens and tans. But, as I mentioned before, not a lot of good beck scans. I'll have to come up with something else. :/

f

Hiya, Yoru! I responded to your question on Dark-Wallies. I totally accept, if all of the other staff don't mind.

Also, I asked if you'd like to affiliate with my new group depths-of-sound?

Take care! :D

f

Quote by AnjaI'm still too predictable. XD


No, predictability means we all know what you're gonna make before you do. What you have, is a style. Those of us who know your style understand what kind of images you're inclined to use most often. What I have seen from observations, is that you tend to vector using earth tones - lotsa tans, browns, greens, etc. You also vector scans in which the figure is in a situation of peace or any other positive state of being that is calm (this is not always the case, though). I look up to you, in that you produce such captivating vectors.

Quote: I love all those patterns, especially the floral ones.


Where'd you find them? I'm in need of a good source of textures and patterns.

Quote: Do you think I'm that renowned after the feature? It would be cool but I kind of doubt it. XD

It's hard to say. But I would hope so. If not, they're missing out on super AWESOMENESS.

Quote: I think it's great how everyone is willing to promote the group, it's so heartwarming.

Yeah, totally. I need to get my ass in gear. But I'm actually working on the final part of that project that has been eating up my time!

f

Quote by temarigeniusYup~ What's the program called? :nya: I think you told me before though.. But I forgot -_-
Remember to tell me how the program is after you tried it out~ :)


It's called Inkscape. I still haven't gotten a chance to use it though >.>

Oh, and the group I started is up. It's called [depths-of-sound]
Check it out! If it sounds interesting, please join. We need as many members as we get. Also, you're pretty popular (judging by all that guestbook traffic you get), so you'd probably draw in several members. =D

Quote by xAnime4LifexHey, yeah, I'd love to join. Thanks for asking me! The layout kicks ass by the way. :) I'm going to get going on making a wallpaper for the group today, I already have an idea in mind. XD

I'm not familiar with the name of the guy you mentioned, but is he from Strapping Young Lad?

Well, thanks again and talk to you again soon. :o

Yay, more wallpapers for the group! A lot of people (okay, 5) are saying they'll be making a wallpaper for the group. At this rate, we'll fill up the gallery in no time. XD

Yeah, he was in Strapping Young Lad. Though he retired from both it, and his band titled The Devin Townsend Band on May 10th 2007. Now he's focusing on a solo career.

Guess you were right about talking soon. P=
Because here we are, talking! XD

I wish I could do something about getting you a free shirt.... =/

I believe pandemonium gave me a cyber-shirt at the group, so that works ;D Oh and I have a wallpaper that I'm actually in the middle of making which could help welcome new members to the group. Are you guys doing any promo walls? If so I can hold off to upload it till you guys get yours up xD

gah that little chibi at the top of your page is adorable. I wanna hug it x3 Did you draw it?

I'm working on one, but I've been busy with this one, completey unrelated to wallpapers project that's been sucking away all of my time. I know that Saku is making one, as well as Pande. So if ya wanna wait, wait for them. Waiting for me would be a waste of time, seeing how mine'll take a while to get up onto MT. XD

My cousin drew it for me as a birthday present. Oh how I wish I could draw like that, but it was never meant to be. My twin got all of those skills. P=

Hey there! Sorry that it's taken me so long to do group-related stuff. My internet keeps dying. It's been doing it like... every other day, and when it dies, it's out for 24 hours. Real pain in the ass. -____-

About the group, we're gonna need some extra banners soon, what with the 'Affiliates' section and all. 'Artwork highlight' too, if you want to have it as a section. And "featured anime"? XD I know I'm bothering you, but you're the boss X-P

And I'm also working on a promo wallie and (possibly) a vector! *is proud of self*


My internet is behaving itself today.... but for how long, I cannot say. >3>
Okay, I'll go bug Anja to make more (she likes doing it, so 'bug' isn't the right term :nya: ). I've been thinking about the Artwork Highlight, too. I wanted to call it something flashy (similar to how dark-wallies has 'Highdarkened), but I guess just "Artwork Highlight" sounds good. As for the "Anime Highlight", what exactly do you have in mind? Because there's not a whole lot of series that focus around music. It'd just be a shame if we ran out of series to highlight, y'know? Especially if people looked forward to that one particular section.
I'm not too popular around MT either. XD
But I'm gonna try my best to get people to join! *salutes*

YAY for promo wallie. I'm kinda working on two, simultaniously. One has come across a problem, for I need a water spout aiming upwards - the type of spout from a fountain. I can't find any to vector, so that one's been put on hold. T_T
