Please follow these links in the quote above and you'll see that my scans are
not violating any rules. I'm not sure how it is possible for anyone to confuse a
scan that is 7 million+ pixels for a scan that is <1 million. Therefore it
must be a bug.
If you're wondering why I'm so hung up on this even though the scans aren't
mine, I believe that these scans should be on minitokyo for everyone to use (I
know this sounds sappy, but minitokyo is one of the friendliest image boards I
know).
Quote by SaikusaThe images that you have
uploaded, and were deleted once again, were 425 x 1,500 pixels in size. That
totals 637,500 pixels, which is far short of the 1,000,000 minimum
requirement.
Quote by SaikusaThey were too small. When
you cropped out the large blue block of text at the bottom & the huge white
space at the top, the the actual scan itself was less than the 1,000,000 pixels
required.
It's strange that you're asking, when the person who did scan them &
originally posted them didn't query it whe they were first
submitted.
Uh, I have no idea what you're talking about. I've just cropped the images down
once more to eliminate the white space at the top and the blue text at the
bottom (like you said) and the images are still well over 7,000,000 pixels. I'm
reposting them in this cropped format.
The School Days images I submitted are just under 2 mb and have a total pixel
size of nearly 8 million. The scans were not pixelated, blurred or filtered. The
featured character was visible and there was no dust folds or scratches. The
scans were of high quality and are comparable to the other images in this series
that were submitted by other members:
The scans were not mine, but the originals were just barely too large to be
accepted by minitokyo so I was forced to resize the images slightly. I worked
very hard to shave off only a couple hundred kb from these massively large
images. I would like an explanation as to why they were rejected. The rejected
images are below:
Also, I'd like comments on the text. I tried apply some effects to it to tie it
in with the rest of the WP so it wouldn't be so conspicuous like the earlier
revisions. Thanks for your help everyone!
Here's yet another revision. This time I decided to go simple and stay a little
more true to the original plan I had for this wall. Suggestions? I'd really like
a little more direction with the suggestions other than "it won't be
favorited."
Here's a revision taking everything into consideration thus far. I'm not good
with Kanji, but I was thinking of adding the text of the title as hiragana and
katakana in a column on either the left or right side. Maybe another revision
tomorrow. Any more comments about the BG and the colors on this
revision?
Another revision. As I mentioned last post, I wanted to add hiragana and
katakana text as the title of the WP. I've also added a layer of licking flames
to the bottom of the wall. Somehow I think it's starting to get too busy.
Suggestions?
I like the way the vector for this WP turned out, but I'm having trouble coming
up with something good for the background. My only thought so far is to emulate
the background from the original anime screencap I took. BG suggestions and
comments please?!
Shana definitely needs a rival, and Yoshida fits the bill perfectly. She's
practically the exact opposite of Shana in every aspect (honest, unathletic,
busty, non-confrontational). They both have great banter going back and forth. I
think this scan sums everything up nicely:
But to answer your question, I like Yoshida quite a bit. Her reaction when she
found out the truth of Yuji being a torch and Shana being a flame haze was
priceless. ^_^
Personally, I like the blended look of the original. I think it has a good flow
with the sky and it also looks really dreamy. However, some of my friends have
made the same comment as you, asinine. I'll try to change the concept a little
more to make it clearer. ^_^
Okay, I've worked a background into the vector. However, it's just a screencap.
I'm currently working on a brushed wallpaper to make it look sharper, but I'm
wondering if I should make it vectored like the foreground. Any comments or
ideas?
Okay, cool. I'll try out those shading techniques on her cloak tomorrow. It
shouldn't be too difficult.
By the by, I'm interested in making this into a wallpaper. Should I stick with
vectored styles for any new objects I add? Or should I go with a large texture?
I'm near the end of a complex vector project that has taken me two months to
complete. However, I'm stuck and I have no idea where to progress from here. The
links to the project are below.
I've considered using the stroke path tool to outline the prominent edges of her
hair and face, but whenever I start doing that it looks really bad to me. I have
a tutorial on doing these sorts of vectors, but my artistic flair seems to be
failing me. Suggestions?
There have only been two anime that ever made me cry. Being a guy, I find that
to be really impressive if an anime can make me cry.
Elfen Lied is such an incredible story. So dark and tragic, but the descent of
Lucy to darkness, while still clinging to her love of Kouta. Such a spectacular
ending.
The other was Shakugan no Shana. The final episode where Shana finally confesses
to Yuji, then followed by the part where I had expected both to die. Very
touching.
I have yet to post this new vector art to MT, but I wanted some opinions as to
whether or not Minitokyo would even accept a B&W vector (I know this place
is really snoody about that sort of thing). I included the scan of the tote bag
to show that it would be useful because somebody else couldn't just edit my
colored vector into the B&W one so easily. There are a lot of layers to mess
around with, of course. Also, I think it looks really awesome in that
monochromatic version. Any suggestions?
I sent out a PM, so I'll see how that goes. If need be, I can put a bra and some
underwear on her, right? Though, personally, I think that would detract from my
artistic vision.......
I want to make an ecchi vector art that is extremely detailed and beautiful.
However, I also want to share it with Minitokyo. Before I go and invest a whole
lot of time and effort into my art, I want to make sure that Minitokyo won't
delete it because it is "too revealing." Here is a link to a rough
preliminary sketch of the image.
I just want to point out that her chest isn't going to be getting bigger or more
detailed than it already is. The only other lines I'll be adding to her body are
for shadows (as well as eyes and fine detail, but nothing major).
Can somebody tell me if this would be an acceptable art submission for
Minitokyo?
Well, since we're just discussing Ataraxia, now that Stay Night is over, I'd
like to play both video games. Does anyone know of English versions, or torrents
where I could download them? Perhaps game translations as well. That would be
nice.
Quote by GrieverZero
there's currently 14 episodes out.
Correct that. There are 15 episodes out. Personally, I like to describe anime in
terms of other anime. Therefore, I think this anime can called a cross between
Bleach and Shakugan no Shana. It has the adventure style feel of Bleach, with
the strong plot, story, and female lead of Shana. Hope that was helpful.
About a week or so ago, my Shana wallpaper, "Flaming Motif," was
deleted from Minitokyo despite the fact that many people continue to appreciate
it through my own website. As such, I would like to have my wallpaper reinstated
because of the artistic value I mentioned in the Sandbox thread:
A couple summers ago my dad and I watched Cowboy Bebop and Noir. So far I've been unsuccessful at getting him to watch any more anime.
First I'll refer you to this thread in the Deletion Complaints forum:
I didn't break any rules
Now, it seems to me that there is a bug in the way that mods are viewing my recent scans:

I've finally come up with something that I actually like. I feel as if I'm approaching the final version. Here's two different versions:
http://www.aerieoftheroc.com/ShanaNoHosakiWP5.jpg
The first version is a standard version with no opacity changes to Shana.

The second version is a response to the comment that this isn't a very friendly wall because the face is so large. I've tried to tone things down.
Also, I'd like comments on the text. I tried apply some effects to it to tie it in with the rest of the WP so it wouldn't be so conspicuous like the earlier revisions. Thanks for your help everyone!

It looks very nice, but the text is very hard to read. I would either move the text to a different part of the wall, or eliminate it completely.
Here are three versions of the original concept.

I found a tote bag online that had a very interesting variation on the vector I have already done for Full Metal Panic.

I disagree. MT has many wallpapers and artwork where the female body is shown without clothing.

Here's my vote:
1. Wall 9 (Burning Memories)
2. Wall 7 (Flaming Motif)
3. Wall 10 (Nietono no Shana)
4. Wall 4 (The Place I Belong)
5. Wall 11 (Honjou No Shite)
