[size=1]It's not quite what I expected. Some of it seems more matter-or-fact than poetic, and it seems a little out of place with the rest of the work. The whole thing is rather surreal, which is probably something you're going for in a topic like this.[/size]

[size=1]Ooh, spiffy. I like that. I like it a lot. The lightblueness is very cool.[/size]

[size=1]*laughs* Yes, I drew that. Sketched it, scanned it, colored and touched it up in photoshop. Yep, it's a play on her name. Everytime I see "Kaola Su" as your new member name, "Koala" jumps out as me. I had to do something with it. ^_~ (No, sorry, I don't honestly know anything about Love Hina, except what I've picked up from my friend Nate. He's a fan.) I really like the way it turned out, too. Very bold. There are a couple coloring mistakes, and there should probably be some hair inside her hood..but I'm pleased with it. ^_^ Glad you lot like it. [/size]

[size=1]The vast majority of my posts are quick reply, but I don't mind spending the extra thirteen seconds using the attachment feature on the regular reply page. Chances are, even if the "quick attachment" option was added, I wouldn't use it. Habit. [/size]

[SIZE=1]Just. Because.[/SIZE] [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=398266[/IMG]

[size=1][i]That's[/i] it. I can never for the life of me remember his name. ^^;[/size]

[SIZE=1](_)-person... In the future, try asking for help in the banner request forum. It's relatively easy to combine those images... Eff.... Look, here--I'll take care of your sig for you. That should be the right size. [/SIZE]

[size=1]A little o' this, a little o' that... [b]Earth.[/b] Quiet, observant, intelligent...I guess. Change [i]serving[/i] to helping, though..I'm not very humble. And passive? Aheh, not quite. [b]Fire.[/b] Unpredictable, yes. Quick-tempered, maybe...I may get angry quickly, but you'll never notice till the last second, heh. A good leader? Well...I've been told so, but I don't like it. I prefer to work alone. [b]Water.[/b] [i]Malleable, fluid, cohesive.[/i] The only element that had me glancing at my dictionary, heh. [i]I am able to mold to any occasion. Give me a challenge, and I'll do it or die trying.[/i] Uh huh. *nods sagely* [i]I won't fall apart when I'm needed.[/i] Well, I haven't yet. I make no promises for the future, however. I've come close. So what does that make me? Earth, water, and fire....I guess I'm a piece of pottery. Go fig.[/size]

[size=1]This would probably be a pain..but would it be possible to liven up the rules page a bit? Have them one some sort of skin-sensitive format, like the [i]you do not have permission to acces this page[/i] message, or something. I think people would be a little more likely to actually read the rules if they were in a slightly more inviting format. *shrugs* Just wondering. Plain text pages tend to discourage people.[/size]

[size=1]I think they mean talking about it. Not posting it up page by page. ^_~[/size]

[size=1]Heh, true enough..but first impressions, warranted or not, tend to make an impact. [/size]

[size=1]Numbers 21 and 22 are the only ones I really like. Of the others, most are too empty and/or have dotty edges. Adding a simple background and a little pixel work would take care of that. Others are just not great quality images. The truth is, unless you've got some very good pics, cropping pictures doesn't usually cut it.[/size]

[size=1]That text really has to go. Find a thinner font, or something. Maybe add a one pixel black border around the green one?[/size]

[size=1]*laughs* Like I said, it's not that great...I just like nametags. *is wearing one right now, for absolutely no reason at all* Heh, I'm just a freak. ^_^[/size]

[size=1]I see a dragon..and a dragon/wolf/bear thing. Haha, so spiff. I think you should do an orange one *cough*[/size]

[size=1]Ooh, nice. ^_^ *loves Digimon, so there!* What's the name of the raccoon with the helmet? I've always loved that one. Good job making it look metal, too. *awe* *laughs* They're so cute. ^_^ The file's a little jpegitized (haha, I love warping the english language), but that happens to everyone sometimes. You could make a more colorfuller background, that woud be spiff. *gives you a shiny green star sticker*[/size]

[size=1]If the pencil's light, you can probably adjust the contrast in your scanning program so it shows up better, too.[/size]

[size=1]That's good. Oekaki always drove me nuts (it was a love-hate relationship, until the board I frequented disappeared off the face of the...uh..internet.) I always liked the tone tool better than the watercolor one--I just couldn't get the hang of it. Your coloring is great, though--good job. Her forehead is a little high, and her hat seems oddly balanced. I love the little rose, though. Love it.[/size]

[size=1]The lines seem really harsh across the image...I'm not sure how to fix that, though, heh. Maybe make them that burgundy/brown color, or a variation thereof..?[/size]

[size=1]I really and truly cannot make sense of what you just said.[/size]

[size=1]It made me think of some old POGS I used to have...wow. [i]That[/i] was a long time ago.[/size]

[size=1]It can be frustrating not to get replies. Been there, nyeh. Sometimes the strangest threads can go on for pages, while something else won't get a single post. Some threads that no one is really interested in will get a handful of replies simply because the person who posted has been around for a while. As for more specific instances...your name threw me off for a while. Anything with varying caps and lowercase tends to be a lower priority for me. *crooked smile* Unfair, maybe, but true.[/size]

[size=1]So you could say that [i]otaku[/i] in English is a different word than [i]otaku[/i] in Japanese. [/size]

[size=1]It's funny, because it's wrong in so many ways. I had an experience rather like this once...I don't remember what with, but yeah. Ya gotta find humor in life [i]somewhere.[/i] ^_~[/size]

[SIZE=1]I was bored, what can I say... Was easy to do, but I just [i]like[/i] it. Heh. ^_^ Not sure if I'll keep it just like this... Might tweak a few things. I think my name is too high up, hm..[/SIZE] [IMG]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=397392[/IMG]
