Hey, Missy-K. Long time no see. I've been lurking around Minitokyo every now and then but I don't see much of you anymore. I hope you're doing okay and enjoying the holiday season. Anyway, sorry for the overly-simplistic card. I threw it together quickly because I'm already late for dinner but I wanted to wish some of my Minitokyo buddies first. Well, here's to hoping the coming year will be even better than this one. Cheers!

Hi there!

Yes, its been soooooo, soooo long since I've done anything here. I've been working, going to school, doing commissions, yadda yadda.

But I am still working on more art. I've been doing fine otherwise.

I want to thank you for the card, despite what you may think, its not simplistic because you still thought of me. I apologize for such a late reply. But I'm alive and kicking, and hoping to post new art in due time. I'm over GS and GSD, and into G 00, of course.

I really appreciate you asking about me. I'm sorry I haven't been around. I'm unreliable.

Hope your 2008 is going smoothly for you.

K

Andrew-kun! You're a featured member in the Maigetsu! Congratulations!

Thanks for the heads-up, Aisha. You know, I didn't even really know what the Minitokyo Maigetsu was until a nice mod told me I was featured in it! Anyway, really sorry for the late response, I've been busy. It's the Chinese (Lunar) New Year over here in Asia and we usually celebrate it meeting with family and friends. I doubt it's a big thing in Canada; but I know what is! So in case I don't get to wish you later, I hope you have a happy Valentine's Day. Even if you're single (like me). Heh heh. Take care of yourself, you hear? See you around!

Being featured in the Maigetsu is pretty cool, you should be proud of yourself ^^
Hm, well I guess you're right, Chinese New Year isn't a big thing in Canada (except with the Chinese community of course; Canada is, after all, just a mix of all sorts of people :P) but we do know about it. I know it's a big thing, so Happy Chinese New Year to you ^^ Hope you enjoyed it!
Aw, and thanks so much for the kawaii card! Happy Valentine's Day, even though I don't celebrate it lol That's very sweet of you :3 Hey, I'm single too, and proud of it ^^ Thanks again! Take care

Just in case if you missed it, you're one of the two featured members in Minitokyo Maigetsu Issue No 8 - congratulations!

Quote by andrewong1980Oh, my gosh...looking at the original scan, anyone can see that you had to reconstruct C.C. almost entirely! Adding all those details to her hair and outfit is simply outrageous and I applaud your ambition. I think the candy-themed background is probably the best representation of the effort you put into this rather than the C.C. vector. I don't know how but you took a ludicrous concept and managed to not only make it look not stupid, but actually quite interesting to look at.

Now the not-so-good news. Just one real nitpick which others have already mentioned. You didn't do too good a job on her legs, more specifically the left leg. The right leg is fine but the left leg is actually narrowing as it goes up her thigh to her waist. Either that or her knee is too high and her thighs are virtually non-existant. Either way it really looks just wrong and ruins an otherwise perfect picture.

Again, I am in awe of the scope of your ambition and the precision at which you've managed to pull it off. But despite how much I love your work in this, that left leg is really bugging me and I can't bring myself to fav this. I wouldn't go as far as saying you need lessons in anatomy and/or perspective but...in future if you have to totally reconstruct a character's form and posture it might help to get an opinion or two from others. Everyone makes mistakes after all, especially the more grandious the undertaking. Hope to see more of your walls here in future. Until then, take care!

hiya andrewong1980

wow a really long comment its been a while since i saw one like this

thanks

well i really wanted to use that scan for a while so i thought if i was going to use it, and if i was going to have to recreate parts of it then i might as well do it the way i want it lol

and i wanted to do something with different details to any scan for a while now, so i thought that the scan of her i used in the wall would be a good place to start and try something a bit different from what i would normally have done

thanks

hehe if you saw the original one, then you'd have second thoughts lol it actually did look a bit silly at first before i went ahead and changed it the original background i did with the candy turned out... well... it kind of reminded me of like a cartoon sort of thing like a warped cartoon that looks weird but you get the idea lol

true others have mentioned it, i wasnt ever really that great on proportions lol but never hurts to try

thanks

true it would i'll keep that in mind for next time

true after all we are only human and 'nothings perfect'

although maybe i make too many mistakes lol

thanks

oh and thank you for taking the time to do that long comment

thank you for the lovely comment on my wall Artificial Road

i really appreciate it and im glad you like my wall

take care and i hope you have a nice day -waves- ^^

May this year be your best yet, andrew-kun

Quote by andrewong1980Hey, Kairi. I had noticed not seeing your comments or works lately. I had no idea you were struggling with depression. Hopefully you'll find a way around it on your own, but if it gets worse with no end sight I suggest you start trying medication.

I love vectors of Lelouch and CC and was amazed I hadn't seen one of this scan before. Anyway, the hair is usually the most difficult part of vectoring characters but in this case I'm also impressed at the details you maintained on their outfits. More often than not finer details are lost in the vectoring process.

I hope by the time you read this you're feeling somewhat better. Thanks for the great vector. Adding to favs. Take care of yourself and I hope you have a Happy New Year!

Andrew-kun :3
Your comment really made me smile^^ Thankfully, I'm feeling better. This X-mas break has been a lifesaver. Yea, that was one of the first Code Geass scans I ever saw and it's still one of my favs so I had to vector it. I wanted to vector Kallen and Suzaku as well but I was kinda in a hurry so Maybe next time And this:

Hey, Kairi. Sorry for the dinky card, I just threw it together quickly because I'm late for dinner but I still wanted to wish you and some other nice peoples here.

I just wanted you to know that I made a group dedicated to Kira Yamato If you want to join,pls. visit the group's page-.......Thank You

Quote by andrewong1980Ooh...never seen this scan before. And now it's vectored too. I too am curious why you blurred out the fluffy bits on her dress so much. My guess is that you were blurring out the champagne(?) droplets and suddenly flipped out before blurring out all the white you could see in the image. LOL!

"The Lacus living in your head"? That's so funny. I can just see her hovering over you and guilt-tripping you in her regal voice, "I am Lacus Clyne. Did removing me from your userpage make you happy? Is that what you really want? Please stop doing meaningless things and vector scans of me instead." She's so manipulative that way; but that's what made her so awesome in the first series, IMO.

Your vector is beautiful. I couldn't find anything noticably wrong with the frills. The details on the bottle and her hair impressed me a little. My one other complaint is her eyes. I see very distinct poligons there and I think it would have benefited from some filtering. Other than that, everything's lovely.

Nice to see you vectoring again (plus vectors of Lacus-sama are always welcome). Faving this for Lacus' cute expression and hot leggings (not too crazy about her hair in this one). Thanks for sharing this and I hope you're doing all right, ASH. Until the next time, take care! Cheers!

Hey andrew-kun Well in the original the fluffs were blurred, so I blurred them. I knew people wouldn't like it though. But if I didn't blur them they would just look like random circles.

Yeah it's true, she lives in my head. And she gets very upset if I ignore her for awhile. It's like you said, she guilts me into it. It doesn't help that I have a Lacus figure staring right at me too.

I'm glad you like most of the vector. Her eyes have always been like that, haven't they?

Aw, and how can you not like her hair? So long and curly and pretty. It's too cute! Ah well, till next time! Ja'ne.

Quote by andrewong1980Ooh...I'm glad I waited and got the "higher quality" vector. As it is now, it looks great. Both Matsuri and Aono look lovely and your background looks nice without distracting from the vector. All the colors and shading look spot-on so...nicely done, pandemonium91, and I hope you'll keep up the good work in future. Until the next time, take care!

Thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it!
I'll be sure to make even better vectors! Don't worry, I hope you won't be disappointed
Take care and have a great day!

Thank you for your recommendation about the eyes, I couldn't think about that, I re-watched some SEED OP ED and figured out that Lacus eyes' color was purple-blue instead of purple.

^_- And thank you for your comment and fav too.
