now was that so hard? :B

[Darknight_88]

somewhat >_>

[Bella]

Wow! I love her (<did I just say that O__O)! You have a great style of drawing, it looks very professional!

I have to admit I really like the ChiVistan character

[Darknight_88]

whoa, Bella saying she loves her...that's a HUGE compliment >_>
thanks

Well I guess I can post this now...



Unfortunatly Tsubashis representations is kinda creepy and scary compaired to her -_-  Le sigh..

nice
I'm supposing she's 3.1-tan?
And I think you mean Thurosis...>_>

Heehee...

I didn't even see your new drawing until I went onto Nijura...then I was like "Where has he been hiding this?!"  ;010

Though I do kinda hope that in the end the multiple Vistans trend becomes popular...with XP pro, home, MCE, etc, it only makes sense that there'd be a Vistan for each release.

WHEEEE~~~~~~
click for full version: 1400x1050 (which is a 4:3 res)
sorry, no 1600x1200 since I decided to make it wallpaper res after I finished. ^^;








I had way too many ideas, and it looked ugly when they were all in one picture. XD So, all my ideas were split into 3 and simplified.  So it's not as flashy as my last one, but I still like it. ^^

Okaaay, explanation.
The default background of OS/2 WARP is employed in the first two.  I also used three particular colors.  Converting "OS/2 WARP" into hexadecimal, I got three colors.  These colors were employed in all of them, although with all the filters and stuff I did, I doubt you can find them. XD; And of course, the WARP logo is in the second.


Edit: whoops, I seem to have forgotten to do something in the pic....
ah, but I'm too lazy to fix it. ^^;;;;

[C-Chan]

Excellent work, SleepyD!!!!!!!!  ^v^
I knew you the Master Backgrounder could not let us down!!  ^.^
The dynamism in all three is certainly a welcomed change of pace from the boring gradient I had up.  ^__^

The only thing that does seem odd is the pixelation in the phaser's light arc, although I imagine (like with my pixelated background for the C64-Amiga pic) that this was an intentional reference to OS/2's color modes.

Of the three,.....

*ponders*

I'd have to say the Second one is my favorite.  ^__^
The First is pretty original, but a shadow is missed.  The Third has a great shadow, but the plain white is a bit too simple (perhaps if it had the same kind of mini square pattern, only much lighter, the texture alone would give it interest).

When I look at the second one, I think of her as running down a glass corridor, ready to kick some major butt.  ^___^

Course the real test will be to see how the Great OS/2 User Achain thinks of them.  ^___^
(although sadly, he uses 16:10 ratio wallpapers.... ^.^;)

[CaptBrenden]

43 minutes!! To be expected! bacon is always fast and easy to prepare, and I would expect it to be as fast when replying to OS/2 warp pics.

Tho I expected moar swoonage.

[SleepyD]

lol... well for swoonage, you should see some of these ideas in my head that I can't draw at my skill level. XD;  

well, i still have a few ideas festering in me brain, but those will take a LOT of time, and I don't really have that time. ^^;;  

I whipped these up in about 2-3 hours. When I was playing around with turning on and off layers, I got to the third one, and thought it would be a nice, simple wallpaper. ^^ (I prefer simplicity in my walls)

Hence the split into three.  My original was way too chaotic for my taste. Maybe I'll use the second one as a base next time. ^^

well, if you'll excuse me, I have to do some physics/calculus and then program something with linked lists.

[CaptBrenden]

to me, the last one looks.. unfinished.  The white spaces dont look intentional.  I think a different flat color would suit it better and would make it look as you intended it, simplistic.

[Darknight_88]

nice. From the 3, I like more the last one.

But what kind of effect are you trying to get with the lines, cause the blurred sides look a bit unnatural >_>. Maybe more lightning instead of blur?

[CaptBrenden]

nice
I'm supposing she's 3.1-tan?
And I think you mean Thurosis...>_>

Opps.. yeah... thurosis.. and no.. shes not 3.1sama.  Shes not the onlyone with her own dos-cat dont you know.

[Darknight_88]

so...if she's not 3.1...who is she?

...

Oh, yeah, fastest PS work ever:


generic pose is generic.
Inked in paper, scanned and cleaned. No digital lineart. Was trying a new technique.
Working at resolutions smaller than 6000x4000 really helps to reduce saving times <_<

At this rate, it seems like I'll never draw anything else aside Vis-tan...well, also 95-tan.

Any opinions?

[CaptBrenden]

Needs moar 3.1, no exeptions.

Keep it up tho, with such hot Vista pics,  maybe that version will gain canondom?

I should learn some photoshop from you.. you obviously do yours differntly then I do.

[Darknight_88]

thanks. Maybe I'll give her a rest. Maybe not.

Actually, I wanted to contribute since the beginning of 2007, but due to distractions and work I never materialized something. Don't know if it's too late now, but I'll keep supporting her. I often see the ninja version, but at the same time I still see new pics of alternate designs from the different futaba boards. So I guess I can still support her >_>

I should learn some photoshop from you.. you obviously do yours differntly then I do.

Well, here's a list of the only tools I use:
-Pen tool (using "fill path" for solid colors)
      -Gradients (restricted in area using the Pen tool's "Make selection" option)
-Gaussian blur filter (again, restricted with "make selection" option)
-smudge tool @ 50% (not much, but it helps to blend colors and vanish edges when gradients and gaussian blur fail).
-LOT OF LAYERS

Don't really do anything too sophisticated >_>

Also, that reminds me I haven't seen you coloring anything in Photoshop lately >_>
