Eclectic

Well, here are three new banners of mine: one of Final Fantasy X2, one of Furi Kuri, and the other of Xenosaga. The quote on the first is from by Evanescence's 'Everybody's Fool' and the quote on the second is from Andrew W. K.'s 'We Want Fun'.

Wow. That's all I can say. It's a great wall of Vash and it suits the serious side of his personality. Wonderful work.

[color=red]OOC: I might not get to post much in December, but I'll try my best. ---------- Etta looked away, unable to stand this. It felt almost as if Kendra were torturing her. She had seen this before, the same thing had happened, but not to this extent. She closed her eyes tightly, attempting to shut out the sounds of Kendra's voice and attempted to emerse herself in the memory crackle of the flames from earlier. After a few moments, she began to wander away from the others in hopes of a moment of peace. Jenk tapped her lightly on the shoulder as she passed. Looking up, she saw Jenk nod just a little. With a nod of reply, she sat off to the side, in the darkest, most shadowed corner she could find. Etta tried clearing her mind, letting go of everything, as she often did, but again to no avail. Suddenly she thought of something she'd heard once before. [center][i]Fallen Angels at my feet, whispered voices at my ear Death before my eyes, lying next to me, I fear She beckons me, shall I give in? And upon my end, shal I begin? Forsaking all I've fallen for, I rise to meet the end[/i][/center] 'Have I really given in?' she thought. Looking away into the distance, she lost herself in her ever darkening thoughts.[/color]

Here's my newest banner. I couldn't think of anything to put on it, so it's kind of plain. [img]http://voodoobarbies.250free.com/Lulu/banners/butterflies.PNG[/img]

Fire Phoenix, please decrease the age, make the clothes more modern, and get rid of the abilities to go with the powers. I've decided to make a few changes. Radagast, are you going to be a homo sapiens whose immune to the frequency or not? If so, please include that somewhere in your bio. Other than that, perfect. KKC, perfect signup. You're in. Kyo, please use everyone else's, especially KKC's and Radagast's, signups as examples for your own.

Okay, I'm trying this one again. Hopefully, it'll work this time and I can get enough people to sign up. I've also changed this, the time period is different. -------- This was inspired by a song called 'Frequency' by Fear Factory on a sampler I got at school, I Love Metal. Be forewarned, if the CD is called "I Love Metal", guess what the songs are gonna be...that's right, metal. See? You're learning already... [url=http://voodoobarbies.250free.com/frequency.wav]Frequency[/url] -------- Long ago, a lording race tried to perfect its technological inferiors. After decades of experimentation and occasionally torture, they found that a simple radio wave was all they need to achieve their 'noble' task. Enormous radio towers were erected intermittently across the planet and once they had become advanced enough, satellites. When the inferior race heard this radio wave, usually a slight static on radios, televisions, internet, and the like, their automatically tuned into an image of their world, be it for better or worse. The lording race became like gods and often times sat marveling at their 'creations'. Over time, they noticed that each generation, several would be born who were not affected by the radio waves. This problem could be corrected by a small change in frequency. Regularly, they made these changes and ignored the inferior race completely until time for the next change. They didn't notice that over time, these anomalies would again become immune to the waves. They realize what has been going on for these many millennia and will attempt to ban together. Whether they succeed or fail is your choice. --------- Okay, here's the deal. This all takes place on Earth in the PRESENT, that ball of water and dirt we are all probably living on. The inferior race are homo sapiens. The superior race is homo superior (I'd very much like a big fat DUH right here). Easy enough, no? The homo superiors have distanced themselves both emotionally and physically from the homo sapiens and are currently living on an uncharted island in the Pacific Ocean near the Ring of Fire. There are those who stray from this norm, but they are few and far between. THESE ARE THE ONES I WANT!!!!! You can be of either race. PM me with any problems. [i][b]I RESEVRVE THE RIGHT TO ACCEPT OR DECLINE YOUR SIGNUP AND/OR ASK FOR A SHORT WRITING OR POSTING SAMPLE![/b][/i] Just wanted to make things clear. --------- RULES ~No script style writing. That will get you hurled as far away from me as humanly possible. ~No bright text. I can barely read anyways. I'll give text colors when it starts anyway. ~Just because I don't post for a while doesn't mean the RPG is dead, just that I'm in the middle of Hell Month. ~All posts, except the first three, must be between one well written, well thought out paragraph and five or six of the same. I don't have time to read novels. ~Anyone who signed up for the last one, unless you want to give your character a major face lift, I suggest you create an entirely new signup. --------- Name: Age: 15 or older, unless you give me a good reason via PM Appearance: Race: Power: Homo superiors only. Very much like X-Men. See list below. Weapons: Homo sapiens only for the most part, homo superiors in rare cases. Short Bio: Personality: Other: Anything else you deem important. Optional, but suggested. Might help you avoid being asked for a writing sample. --------- Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Technology, Electricity, Sound, Holy, Dark, Light, Metal, More may be added later. PM me if you would like one not on the list. --------- PM me if clarification of any kind is needed. Below is a list of those accepted or rejected, those who need to add something, and those who need to PM me ASAP. --------- [b]Accepted[/b] -none at the moment- [b]Rejected[/b] -none at the moment- [b]PM Immediately[/b] -none at the moment- [b]Changes Needed[/b] ~Kyo no Ryo (Your spelling mistakes are glaring, at least to me.)

I drew this butterfly in class a week ago and wanted to know what you thought. And could everyone answer me truthfully and tell me if it looks like a plant. Every single person I asked, even the artists, thought it was my interpretation of some plant. C&C greatly appreciate.

Wow, I've never been called an inspiration before. Thanks. As for the Chii banner, it was filtered completely in the other program I mentioned above. The InuYasha banner and all but one of the avatars were done in Paint. I'm dowloading a program now that should hopefully improve my banner making. EDIT: I've recently downloaded a prgram called GIMP. I made a quicky banner with it and would like to know your opinions. It's the very last banner in my first post.

Much better. I love the wave design, yet again, the pic, and the background. High ratings of 9.5/10 for you.

That's funny, definitely something I would send someone. But the fades to black all have a little edge of the picture at the bottom. I still like it though.

[color=red]Etta strolled slowly out of the chruch, dragging her captive behind her. [i]If only I had the strength of my kind...[/i] She cleared her mind and continued to drag her captive along. Finally, she reached Kendra. "May I do what I wish with this one?" Kendra eyed her for a moment before nodding her approval, knowing Etta wanted only to prove herself. The moment she recieved her approval, Etta nodded her thanks and acknowledgement before dragging her captive to a nearby alley. "You...know," he coughed, "for a Fallen, you're pretty weak..." Her blood boiled and her cheeks glowed and angry red. "How dare you call me weak! I'll show you real power!" She reached a hand out towards the burning church. A small bit sped towards her. Moving her hands furiously, the flames formed a cross as they glowed a crimson the same color as her cheeks. The cross floated towards him, wrapping fiery ropes around his arms and legs. The cross then lengthed, forming a hill underneath after a foot or two. Then a sudden wave of compassion swept over her. With a simple wave of her hand, he fell to the ground, dead in a single instant. A little downheartened, she walked back to Kendra, staring into the flames of the church as she past.[/color]

I know the first one's very blurry, but the overlapping pics were what made the quote 'Dark Daze and Bright Knights' (also inspired by Bubba Sparxxx). The last one I was feeling really lazy and didn't crop, just faded the sin part a bit. It was on his chest, so that might account for the funky bit. I might revamp it later. As for programs, I use Paint for cropping, then MGI Photo Suite for effects, resizing, and sometimes lettering, or I go back to Paint. My avatars are almost always done completely in Paint. If anyone wants any of these that aren't personalize, take it but remember to give me credit.

You have an AMAZING talent for photo manipulation and a good eye for distinct colour combinations. I don't understand why Anime Wallpapers wouldn't want them, but I very much would.

The antagonist is the same club's former owner and I'm glad you've like it so far. I might post more when I get home this afternoon if there's time. There's much more to the story than that sample.

I like the design of the black part, but because it covers most of the picture, it doesn't look right with the banner. Maybe if you used it over a coloured background.

Hannah sighed and transformed her flame into a ball, throwing it slowly higher and higher. "Will you idiots SHUT UP?!" Gen and Shadow glared at her as they thought she might make a good vent for their anger. "If you really want a fight, let's finish the mission first. Gen, mind a short briefing?"

Here are a few of my banners and avatars. Comments and critizisms greatly appreciated.

I'm not used to it at all, but that should change over time. Comments greatly appreciated, especially if you happen to know about the program.

Here's a little sample of a piece of fiction I'm working on. I'd like to know what people think. ------ Fayren peered out at the crowd. The club seemed nearly full. It was the last night they would open for Spineshank. Sighing, she turned to Hayden, her bassist, and Raquel, her drummer. "He's out there. Are we ready to deal with him?" They both nodded. She had discussed this many times over. "Even during the set?" "We've gone over this hundreds of times." Hayden stepped towards her and was just about to give her a reassuring kiss when the club's manager ducked backstage. "You're on in two," he barked. Stopping short, he looked from Hayden and Fayren to Raquel and back again with a curious look in his eyes. "They love each other," Raquel said from her spot on the far wall. "You don't have a problem with that, do you?" The manager only shook his head and left. "Thanks," Fayren said as she pulled away from Hayden. "I don't know where we'd be without you." Raquel let out one of her ringing laughs. "In Hell, of course. That, or in a garage looking for a decent drummer." ... -------- Comments and critiques, anyone?

Hannah yawned and walked slowly towards the edge. She peered down at Gen and Revel, pondering over the best way to show them up. Smirking, she formed the flame she had been playing with into a pegasus and rode it sidesaddle down the building. Concentrating furiously so as not to fall, she could only throw throw a quick, flirtatious glance and Gen and she sped by. She reached the ground first and began reshaping her flame again while waiting for the others.

"Hmm. Nice little party here, no?" Gen looked over at Hannah then turned away. "You're late." "Oh, now that's no way to greet a guest, is it, Wonderboy?" She winked at him and turned to Lina. "Nice spider." She gave a little smirk and pulled out her lighter, shaping the flames at random and waiting for some kind of order. The little radio in her pocke crackled, but she ignored it. It was only Slade and he'd only want some kind of report or something of the sort.

Name: Felicia Sodom Nick/Code name: Gender: Female Age: 21 Description: Felicia is about 5'7 and of average height. She usually wears baggy black jeans with dark purple bondage straps, a purple babydoll tee, and a black hoodie with some band's logo on it. Her hood is usually up in an attempt to hide her violet eyes. In her true form, her canines grows longer and her nails extend into claws. Creature: Demon Trigger factor: Anger

I think this is the last thing I'll be submitting.

Hannah yawned and checked her watch. She was sure there was something she had to do, but what could it have been? Suddenly, the little radio in her back pocket began to crackle. "Fungeki, where are you? You were supposed to be at the construction site twenty minutes ago." She sighed and grudgingly pushed the reply button. "I'm sorry, oh great and powerful Slade. I...uh...fell asleep." She glanced around at the animal corpses around her, some still smoldering from her torture. "Get to the site now. Gen will be there." "Like I wanna even go near Wonderboy. Just give me a lighter and I'll torch the Tower. Simple, no?" "Go." The radio crackled again and shut off. Hannah sighed, brushed herself off,and headed for the construction site.

Another banner with an oekaki background, this time with crappy cropping!

That's very good. If you think you're that bad at faces, go to [url=http://neondragonart.com/dp]Dragon Paint[/url]. Lots of good tuts there! Anyways, the one and only thing I have a problem with is the bang, if that's what you call it on a guy. It'd make it a bit hard to see, no?
