Ever since I saw that movie I can still just picture that girl looking at me in the corner of my room...*shivers* Very nicely drawn ^^

does s.m.g. (aka buffy) stay alive the whole movie? how many people die? the previews looked like the hollywood machine had to ruin and or modify something good again.

LOL... yay for all the weenies here!! 'Specially VV! :-P

omg... that is absolutely amazing! it looks so freaking cool!lol yea i love the coloration and the details are good too. excellent work my friend ^_^

Well while everyone else seems to gush over this piece, it's no better or worse really, than several of your others you've done in the past... obviously, the emphasis here is on color and not really composition or coherency, and that tends to turn off some people. Yes, you know how to combine lots of bright and varying colors to make these interesting effects...you've established this long ago, but now it seems to me that you are stuck in a bit of a rut. The vast majority of your works which are not anime, look exactly like this piece, color-wise and style-wise. I suppose this is just because it's what you know and are comfortable with, and I like it, but it's starting to reek of repetitiveness. Why don't you try something different for a change? Just a thought. I agree, in a sense, with Vera, in that I've seen this many many times before. You also recycle many of the same elements that you use in other works (the stepping cloud outlines, circles, sparkles, filling the image with a color and erasing out parts of it). Stop copying yourself, silly. You've already nailed this style to death. :P

I'm just kinda wondering why this hasn't made the showcase :P....

ooh, how could i 've missed this one??
this is uber-cool... i wish it was ten times as big
can't stop looking at it... its scary, sad and beautiful at the same time

the sky looks really bizarre. lol but I think it's interesting. lol

:D Yay liek wow.

yes, but the new ones don't let you play games requiring a harddrive (like finalfantasy online...)

The thing is, I don't really play online games^^;.Maybe simple ones that are already on the net, like a game of pool, but that's about it.

Yep, sure does look like him alright :-) Nice job, laurael.

He looks just like Orlando! Well yea he is Orlanda but I mean I recognized him...yup good job

very cool, looks just like him. :}>

HAH... these are those drawings I'm talking about that YOU need to make cards out of. Change the hair color and add huge dust bunnies and that could be me this week. I had generations of them under some of my big furniture... (they attack, you know)

You're armed.. I'm sure you can take those dust bunnies

Luckily, the only housework I'm assigned in the dorm is the bathroom, but even that alone sucks big time^^;;;.Good luck and cute pic :).

She's up to something, I tell ya. Love that 'foily' bg.

Heehee...she just installed that wallpaper..took her 3 days..now she's locked in the Permasmile..hehehe

Nope, she just got caught picking at a loose edge of it.

you know, I think that she does have a point! what is it with you people. Everybody has their own type of skills, and all of you obviously like drawing. I can see that some people are working hard, like huruko ryuu to improve her skill, and all you can do is deleate her work and critisize it! I think that she may work harder on her pictures that you think she does, and, no doubt, critisizim is good for improvement, but the kind of critisizim that Macello is giving out is nothing more that name calling.. *sticks and stones. My point is, as opposed to bringing down everybody elses work, you should concentrate on the good of the art, or whine to yourself about how much you hate someone elses work. I think that the people that give this negative form of critisizim are only reflecting on how unhappy they are with their work, and they should really GROW UP!

if its shit, its shit... no amount of good or bad critisizims is going to change that... lieing to people telling them that there shit is good, when it is'nt really, doesnt help them... people who give negitive helpful critisizims have to put alot more thought in about what they think of a certain image, rather then people who just say its great and wonderful because chance's are its not and saying somethings great and wonderful doesnt really help the artist...

Hmm...I dunno.I've seen some pretty crappy pics in my 2D Design college course, and even when I think there is nothing worth praising and it has killed my interest in the piece, the professor always found something that he could point out about the picture that was worth discussing what the piece may be doing.Now, I'm not saying anything about haruko's drawing here, but I don't agree with sal's theory on "shit is shit." Even the crappiest of pieces have something to it that may be rather interesting if you look far enough into it.I was once right there with ya sal, but my professor taught me to be more open-minded about all works of art.
