Yeah it is sad considering I didn't pick up a lot of friends contact info. Right. Life goes on. I assume you're doing well then. :P

Yeah, doing all right. I'd be much better if I could win the lottery and then didn't have to work for a living, but whatchagonnado? ;)

Haha I'm 1000% with you on that. If I won the lottery I would be working far more but so would my happiness. :D

Got any tips for a beginning visual artist? (My close friend adores your works and Jasper so much.)

RhyssaFireheart

I wondered if that was you when I saw the name and all those likes! :D

Advice? Just keep practicing and trying. Doing tutorials if you are interested in a specific type of visual art isn't bad, because you can see how others do it and then adapt to your own abilities. Do anatomy studies if you want to draw the human form. Learn how to draw it properly before changing it to your own style.

And keep practicing and making art. It won't all be good. In fact, a lot won't be good, but you'll get better. And never try to guess what other people like. Some of my pieces that seem to be the most popular with others are pieces that I can't stand. Go figure.

well I guess that's the kind of attitude you have to have when your "job" is to sift through so much shit talking. ill keep it in mind.

I don't want to make it seem like I don't care or anything. I do but in a very disassociated way. I've known most folks names around here for years now so yeah, I can have some set notions about how they are but I usually don't let that influence me when having to make a decision. Not unless that history is relevant to what's going on (like someone being a persistent troublemaker without any redeeming traits).

no no I don't mean to impky anything like that. I'm just saying how id make a terribe m of because I get mad and make bad choices based on my mod swings and take things further then they should. its good that we have someone so objective and not letting their feelings get in the way of things as admin because it ensures everyone gets the same fair chance. I like that mods ban me even though I help out the forum when I do something that's clearly disruptive and helpful to no one. its not fair to grant anyne leniency over others just because they got "pull" with the people who run the place ya know? and at the end f the day, it IS just a website. I probably care way more then any rational person should.

Well, using a bit less can't hurt, and as long as you're not eating tons of butter in general, you'll likely be fine.

No problem!

Sure, I could do that. Linking to the discussion threads would make sense.

Dat cliff save cemented OkiKagu in the story, indeed.

GoriTae ended in bittersweet note, but the glimmer of future hope is there--I especially love that umbrella-handing scene on Gori's final stalk. Damn onion-chopping ninjas.

This stupid ISP got me furious, they blocked my access FF.net based on the regulation of the information ministry, wtf indonesia?!? I can't even sign up for an account via proxy. This is why we can't have nice things
Oct 20 2015 03:46 AM

YoWid

I still can view your FF.net profile page, but can't make a review there. Seriously, ISP???

Oh, gotcha! I didn't know what you were asking for impressions on, since it came after one about a manga fight. I might go back to answer when I revisit the thread again.

LOL! I know, but for the life of me, I thought I had her name right. I was typing "Inari" but I'd actually named her "Imari" in the first story (my Naruto fanfic), so it wasn't a huge change. Still, there's a reason I write these things down so I can double check and yet....

Reminds me, I need to keep working on that second story again.

So it's a typo indeed O:

wait, the ambassador's aide is her sister now??? :OO
Oct 16 2015 02:57 AM

RhyssaFireheart

LOL! Yeah, and (shhh) the Ambassador is actually their uncle. It's a family thing for them. Some of that is detail that I haven't put anywhere in a story (yet) and some of it is just background history that I have to flesh out the characters which may never get published anywhere.

#13, #16, #25 and #28 would be my wins in the poetry contest link I just posted btw
Oct 12 2015 02:55 AM

RhyssaFireheart

Gotcha. Thanks for the links. I've updated your usergroup to "Blessed by Uglypuff" which means you should be able to change your CT now yourself. Let me know if it's not working for some reason though. And congrats on the five wins. :D

UGH TENSES! It's supposed to be in past tense. It's been driving me nuts trying to keep up with it. Seriously... *sigh* I'll go check it again.

And the ages... okay, the whole thing takes place two years before the start of the manga. So Kanda and Renge are 16, Lenalee's 14, she mentioned 12 once because that was two years ago since it had been a year and half since she was last there. Timeline is super confusing, but in a few chapters it should catch up to current timeline since there will be lots of time skips.

Is Kanda OOC? So hard keeping him in character or finding reasons why he's always angry. He'll probably be OOC in the next chapter.

Oh and dunno who that character is, it's not Kanda, Kanda's hair is different... and so is Mugen, especially since new Mugen never got animated. :D
Oct 03 2015 08:14 PM

RhyssaFireheart

Yeah, I have trouble making sure I'm in the same tense all the time and not using passive voice too much. Passive voice is my nemesis because I seem to use it a lot and that gets boring sounding after a while.

Okay, ages make sense then. I didn't realize this was 2 years before the current time, so that also explains the presence of Cross there.

You sure that's not Kanda? http://i.imgur.com/QG5gwGE.png







(It's not. The first pic is Hijikata Toshiro from Gintama. I just thought he looked so much like Kanda in the ED that I had to try to fool you)
Oct 04 2015 12:18 AM

ishxallxgood

Haha you can't fool me. Kanda's bangs are longer, or more accurately the hair that frames his face, it doesn't seem that way in the panel you posted because he's wearing a scarf. I know my kanda... Haha. Besides like I said earlier, mugen doesn't look like that, and where the DGM anime ended I don't think we ever saw the reforged mugen. We definitely never saw the crystallized form of mugen. I have problems. Haha.
