Quote: Although the tattoo with the roses seems to be a bit unrealistic (I'm not sure you can get such colours), the lady herself is loveliness impersonated. Great work with body proportions and kudos to you for the concept of the work.

Hello, markjo!
Tattoos are difficult to depict with pencils especially when is the first time painting one (xD). But I can't see why the colors aren't possible... Miami Ink's cast works with amazing colored tattoos that look painting! From watching them I've got inspired to produce pieces like "The living rose vase".
I'm glad you liked proportions and the concept! Thanks a lot!
This work is a very special one to me!
Cya'round!

Thanks a lot for your nice comment and fav

Quote: I think I'd love to see it with a caption (something with a 'bullet' in it) - would complete the Valentine card look and I could actually send it around.

I always have so many problems with putting in text, I never know what kind of font I should use and where it should be put, so often I just leave it out.
I'd also like to say something considering one of your guestbook entries:

Quote: What I mean is, you said you feel rather not creative lately since you only vector scans and change colours. I once argued here in MT whether vectoring is an art considering the same points. I was strongly for the idea and I gave Warhol as an example. With his Marylin Moroe portraits he basically did the same and nobody disputes the artistic values of his work, right? To me vectoring is an alternative view of an existing piece of art and therefore an art itself.

It's not like I think that my works don't have artistic value, in fact I'm doing all my Miggy wallpapers because I want to create something out of the original that people can put on their desktop, something that looks less confusing and colourful than the original. But at the same time when I look at works of other people like arterlier for example, I feel a little inferior because their walls seem to burst with ideas. Then again it's not like I'm always doing unoriginal stuff, so lately I've been quite content.
I hope you can get the hang of what I mean

Quote by markjoI love all those cuhions! They make me wanna curl up in my bed and go to sleep...
A great, colourful wallpaper, goes to my favourites for sure.

hehe many thanks

Thanks a lot for your comments and favs.

Quote by markjoMy, my, my - you've been busy! Excellent wallpaper and all those details should give you a sense of accomplishment as the outlook was definitely worth the effort.

This is really one of the walls I'm most pleased with myself, even more than with my Miggy stuff, the thought that it would look great kept me at work.
I'm glad you like the wallie as well.

Quote by markjoNeither am I. On general I watch really little anime and a few live-action series, I prefer feature films, though I think I am familiar with the classics, e.g. Akira, GitS, Cowboy Bebop and Interstella 5555.
Btw, I always forget to thank you for your feature gallery, it kinda helps me to keep up-to-date after a longer break from MT...

The anime thing goes in fits and starts for me. Generally I prefer manga because I read faster, and can stop whenever I want instead of investing time into 20 minute episodes... but lately I've discovered some really great anime series, especially Nodame Cantabile so that's gotten me back in the mood again.

Glad you find the featured gallery helpful, I think that's the first time someone told me that, it's good to hear

Quote by markjoGreetings from a fellow sucker for black, white, and red. And congratulations on both the new version of your site and new widescreen monitor .

Yay for black, white, and red <3! Much thanks

Quote by markjoI have got to give you a lot of credit for the title entangled in the web - I almost missed it because of the intricacy of the design...

Actually the title was part of the original scan, so I can't take any credit for it lol - just a simple vector-trace. I wish I was that good/creative with freehand designs like that, but so far I've only done some very basic things down that line...

Hello!
Thank you very much for the comments and favs on my Amano wallpapers! I'm glad u like them! ^^
Have a nice day!

Quote by markjoI must admit, though, that the manga got really complicated towards the end - I had to read some chapters twice to untangle the plot...

Haha yeah... I think towards the end I just zipped through, probably lost a lot of the finer nuances in the plot. Enough to still enjoy the final showdown of course, but yeah... the first arc was definitely more enjoyable.

Quote by markjoLove the series - after 'Hana Yori Dango' and 'Hanazakari no Kimitachi e' this is a great read for a bit more mature people. A devoted shoujo fan, as you can see .

I'm definitely starting to swing back into the shoujo genre because of Nodame Cantabile. HYD I only read bits and pieces, despite it being a classic... I did like what I read though Hana Kimi I watched a few of the early Taiwanese live action episodes. Seemed like a fun show, but I wasn't a tremendous fan. Then again I'm generally not a live action person... yeah

Quote by markjoI love the colour and character choice. Any chance for 1600x1200 res? Plz?

xD actually you can see it at AP, but theen if you dont have any AP account, you can wait >x] i think i'm going to upload it on my site xDD;;

Quote by markjoGreat idea - I'm sure I'd never thought of the image you presented in the wall...

Hello Joanna,

thank you very much for the comment and fav on "ne me quitte pas"... Hmm.. well whenever I try to make wallpapers the ideas are just kind of dropping into my mind. I never know from the start what it will look like... During the progress I hear and see things that influence it... ^^

How are things going for you?
I am trying to hand in my diploma work end of October...

I'm always really happy when you like my works. Thank you!

Hope to hear from you again soon.
