"I just wanted to drop by and say thanks for the Christmas card you dropped by my UP. I just got back online here, so I know it's a bit late, but thanks is the same no matter what time of year it is."

Hey, no worries! Have a great new year!

Hi! thanks for your critique on my wallpaper ".la morte.". I'd just like to clarify some things though.


This is definitely a very nice wallpaper, but I do think that it has a few things that could have been improved.


yes, yes, I always love critiques ^-^


For one, the entire wallpaper is very blurry. It looks like the entire piece was an original scan and just put through a radial blur, but it keeps the paint-style appearance that was desired in the end.


okay, this is the part where I got a little insulted. That wallpaper was most definitely NOT a scan put through radial blur. I was trying to achieve a very blended painted effect. I do love critiques, but when people start saying that something I worked on for a couple of weeks looks like a scan put through radial blur...then im not so happy anymore. -_- Everything you see in that wall besides the scan was original work made by me.


The next thing that I have to point out is the empty void in the background. It makes the entire piece look so plain. Maybe it could have been improved by making a few more shafts of bamboo and fading them into the darkness of the black for the background. I think that would have created a more interesting sense of depth and made the wallpaper look a lot less simplified.


I agree, but then my main focus was on kenshin. The simpler the bg is, the more focus goes to kenshin. Also, I do have the bamboo in the back fading into the blackness.


The other thing that I have to point out is Kenshin's sword. The blood effect is very interesting, but it doesn't follow Nobuhiro Watsuki's style for Kenshin. It's a bit too opaque and it may be a little bit too minor to be a part of the wallpaper. The focus goes toward the metallic object ((his sword)) here and it may have needed a bit more work because it appears a little bit too under worked.


Check out this scan --> http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/254055/

I did look at his work first to get an idea of his style of blood. That blood isnt exactly solid either, and its a more painted style, like the one I was trying to create.

anyways, dont get me wrong. I like critiques, so thank you.

Correction!

I made a few modifications to your translations via the help of an online translator.

Green Veggie Juice - 緑野菜汁
Takamushi - (same)
With Fish Mint - それと魚のミント
Even Green Veggie Bug recommends it! - 緑虫もリコメンドしてるよ!

I had to change your 青 to 緑 because it meant blue, not green. If you still can help try to help me figure out where the words break it would help me so much.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


If I'm not fighting for my life, I'm running for it.
Ok - well I think I have just one more question as to your translations...where do the words break? I mean where are there "spaces" between the words? I need to break up それと、、魚のミント into 2 to 3 lines and I also need to do the same to 青虫もリコメンドしてるよ! to fit them into their spaces. I know it seems like a strange request, but I think it will make sense when all is said and done. Thanks again!


sorry, i'm taking up space, i coudn't remember what you wrote. >u<
okay, oh sorry about the green vegetable juice. i thought you were talking about the one that tastes nasty but good for your health. i call it ao jiru. in japan, sometimes call green things "blue". hehe sorry.

okay...i don't what you mean by breaking up....
do you mean like this? :
それと、 魚のミント
緑虫も リコメンド してるよ!


please tell me if you need any more help, or if i did any mistakes. oh, i'm so embarrased that i made mistakes in the last one. sorry~!
