OS-tan OVA

[Tsubashi]

Sugoi! I'm Extremely amazed and exited for the rest of it! Great Job senpai!

An Thurosis too! Wow, that great!

Makes me wish I could draw ;__;

[Aurora Borealis]

Those animations are very good! Makes me want to try my luck at animation if I had the attention span and had the programs to do so!

[CaptBrenden]

pretty good use of tweening there.  I will have to step up the pace on mine....

[Thurosis]

Thanks C-Chan ^^"

THIS PROJECT IS SO COOL ;010 ! I MUST Continue !!! HEHEHE  It was for a long time ago that I penetrated something to complete that I wanted...

Smooth looking awesomeness there O_O All we need is a background XD

I'm on it so wait a little bit ^_^

All you need is the skill to draw and the a "gif-animator"-programm and a little bit time for coloring on layers with a programm like Photoshop ^_^

thanks Tsubashi! Maybe this chear you a little bit up:
It was the same for me (be)for(e) 6-years when i saw someone who could/can draw (better than I could). And I couldn't draw when I was 13.
(And i always said to myself "If i only could draw like that...") And after a while (2years) i tought about it "Why I'm always saying that?" "Just get start it and train this skill!"

now I draw(learn) since 4 years!  And now i'm happy about it ^_^

All i want to say is "Just start! it's never to late" and everything is learnable! AND NEVER GIVE UP!!

[Tsubashi]

Hey ! I got a idea how about makeing this pic moving ?

Wow! That'd be real cool, but it'd probably take a lot of time...

Oh, and btw, Toshiaki is actually a name that the Futaba Channel uses instead of "guest." As far as I can tell, it started after some stupid person registered as "Toshiaki" and asked people for a ton of Porn, and was just a general whiner. So I suppose for all practical purposes here, Toshiaki is anonymous. Sorry, you probably already knew that. ^^;

Yeah, everyone says that, but I'd be willing to bet that what you drew at thirteen surpasses everything I've done.

All i want to say is "Just start! it's never to late" and everything is learnable! AND NEVER GIVE UP!!

True, True. Quite a while ago (some years) I decided I was going to be the best manga artist EVER. So, subsequentially, I began to draw, all the time, almost to the exclusion of everything else. Nevertheless, like everything I do, I wasn't improving much, and all I produced were childish drawings. I was discouraged, but kept trying. Over time, however, the amount of drawings I did varied directly with the dispersions of my zeal. Then came the AP classes. "I'm a smart kid!" I thought, "I can do this!" but I couldn't. History just isn't my subject, and I nearly failed the entire year! I began to replace my drawing time with study time and eventually stopped drawing altogether. Now (a few more years) I'm trying again, but I think I'm worse than before! (Can't be certain, all my drawings got left when we moved ;__; )

Added after 3 minutes:

Wow! I'll be darned if that isn't the whiny-est self-pitying post I've ever seen! Gomen nasai!

Back to the real topic, Good Job Thurosis! I can't wait to see if you animate that picture ^^;

OH! No!! You missunderstand me! when i was 13 (thought about 2 years) until i was 15. with 15 i started to draw! now i'm 18 (but on the 20th of Feb. i will be 19)

Tsubashi! Don't say that! Also childish drawings has their own good side! IF you go into a (manga) book shop you can see many mangas with strange draw styles or even more worse drawings! (and those guys done it!)
And in my opinion (I learn this during the time that i draw) there are no better or worse us artists only different! Because everyone has/have their own styles! every drawings are individually!

(Please don't missunderstand me! and I hope that i didn't missunderstand you^^") Don't think so negativ be more optimistically. (i know it needs time to change it) You will live easier automaticly if you see everything more optimistically!

I believe in you ! You can do it! AND don't pressurize yourself

[Tsubashi]

OH! No!! You missunderstand me!

I'm so sorry, I seem to do that a lot (Misunderstand things) -v-'

And in my opinion (I learn this during the time that i draw) there are no better or worse us artists only different! Because everyone has/have their own styles! every drawings are individually!

That's an interesting philosophy! Maybe your right.

[Thurosis]

yeah there are a lot of misunderstandings -.-#

my english isn't the best you know ^^" hehehe...

but I hope that i could chear you a little bit up!

and if you want/need some advice how to improve yourself in drawing

just tell me! Maybe i can help! (in an other threard)

[Tsubashi]

Okay, sorry if my last post didn't make a lot of sense, I ran out of time. ^^

I believe in you ! You can do it!

Arigato Gozaimasu, Thurosis-sama! That really means a lot!

my english isn't the best you know ^^" hehehe...

Neither is my comprehension, apparently. ^^'

and if you want/need some advice how to improve yourself in drawing

just tell me! Maybe i can help! (in an other threard)

Do you think it qould be a good idea to have an entire thread for people to talk about how they draw? I think it would, but I couldn't contribute much, so...
socialism is easy when you don't have anything

Thanks Thurosis-Sama!

That would be great ^^

-sama means master or something high rankrd right? could you leave that away? Because I'm just a normal person who wants to help!

back to main theme/subject!

C-Chan i need your help agian -.-'! I don't know why but i can't animate the pic like you! I drew a background and i could made a quite good gif animation but it was almost 2mb big! how you done it? that your version is smaller?
I tried 3 hours to make it smaller but the animation was "bad"
Here is the background

OHMYGOD!!!!  THIS THREAD GREW ASTRONOMICALLY!!! @____@'

Sorry Thurosis,... I'll need a few minutes to wade through the mass of posts.... ^^;

(this is why I hate busy days at work.... 0v0')

But thank you.  ^.^

Those animations are very good! Makes me want to try my luck at animation if I had the attention span and had the programs to do so!

WHAT-IN-THE-BLUE-BLAZES-OF-HELL-AND-DAMNATION-DID-YOU-DO-TO-YOUR-ADORABLE-SONATA-SAN-AVATAR?!!!!!!!  @_______@'

Aurora-sama,... thank you for the kind words, but I'm now officially scared.... ^___^'

*pulls back 10 paces*

pretty good use of tweening there. I will have to step up the pace on mine....

Thank you Captain, but do take your time,...
In typical C-chan manner, I'm now forced to switch to YET ANOTHER project.  ^^;
Something Valentines/Year of the Pig related, involving my own OS-tans this time.  -v-

Will probably resume the animation by Friday.

Should probably clarify that no one should be that impressed with the tweening, since I'm basically vector-sketching off the original 2K-tan one.  The REAL test will come with the micro-OVAs, where I'll have to animate original content with few comparable models to base on.  I don't mind trying that out -- but just hope I can work a little faster than what's taking me with this one.  -v-'

-sama means master or something high rankrd right? could you leave that away? Because I'm just a normal person who wants to help!

Yes -sama is an honorific used when adressing someone of much higher rank than oneself. I think you're a Master artist, and thus deserve -sama

I drew a background and i could made a quite good gif animation but it was almost 2mb big!

While C-Chan is reading the posts, I'll throw in my two bits.

What program are you using? When I tried, it came out to be 400KB.
Did you flatten you're Background before inserting it into each frame? Maybe that's why...

Anyway, C-Chan'll probably be able to supply more accurate troubleshooting

*pulls out paper fan*

EEeek!

*backs away, just in case*

[C-Chan]

Thanks C-Chan ^^"

THIS PROJECT IS SO COOL ! I MUST Continue !!! HEHEHE It was for a long time ago that I penetrated something to complete that I wanted...

Well, just be sure to finish what you start and do be like your pitiful friend C-chan here who bounces around projects like a kid in a fudge shop.  -v-;

It risks ending up with a veritable graveyard of unfinished work.... ^^;

All you need is the skill to draw and the a "gif-animator"-programm and a little bit time for coloring on layers with a programm like Photoshop  

We should find a better GIF Animator, though, since your version not only inserts that watermark in the corner, but also doesn't seem to support frames.  '__'

More on that later.... -v-

Well, would be a great diversion after you're done with your original XP-tan pic.  ^^'
But XP-tan isn't...... that high up in the list of my favorite OS-tans,.... so I'll just continue to consult on the side.... ^v^'

Oh yeah, I already went through that with Tsubashi-san before.  -v-

We should probably remember that if we ever create a Toshiaki article at the Wiki.  -v-

BTW, animating her shouldn't really take terribly long -- the problem will lying in style-matching the art so that the transition is seamless.  -v-

Back to the real topic, Good Job Thurosis! I can't wait to see if you animate that picture ^^;

Okay, so this is what I was referring to earlier.  In poor Tsubashi-san's case, we do have someone with an art interest and who's clearly a good and willing collager (we can have good collagers, but if they ain't willing, they don't exist).  ^^

But my guess is that the tribulations of life are what have prevented him thus far from capitalizing on this art interest.  Sometimes you can't draw because you really CAN't draw out of time or other responsibilities, not out of lack of so-called talent.  And is especially in his case, where he sacrificed his art to focus on his studies, one has to respect the need to refocus on more pressing priorities.

We perhaps are biased towards the drawing thing because that's our trade.  We want people to take time away from their lives to draw because then we'd feel like we're introducing someone to the wonderful world of art.  But the same can be said of someone who wants Tsubashi-san to be a better carpenter, or a singer, or an engineer, or a poet.  The world is full of interesting things to keep one occupied -- and as long as they do enrich their lives with at least some sort of hobby or pastime, that's good enough for me.

Just like someone else can handle all the OS-tan games I'll never have the chance to build, I'll be happy to handle the OS-tan pics that others are unable, for whatever reason, to draw.  -v-
(just try to be nice about it when you ask.... `v')

One thing is certain though,... Tsubashi-san has a lot to be proud of, be it because of his active Wiki editing, or his willingness to READ people's posts and not have the attention span of an apricot.  ^^

So whenever he throws dirt at himself, I feel he's either being a masochist, or he's trying to hide the fact that he's an uber genius that will release the next "Hoshi no Koe" any minute now.  -v-

Tsubashi! Don't say that! Also childish drawings has their own good side! IF you go into a (manga) book shop you can see many mangas with strange draw styles or even more worse drawings! (and those guys done it!)
And in my opinion (I learn this during the time that i draw) there are no better or worse us artists only different! Because everyone has/have their own styles! every drawings are individually!

Well true, when people sell their art, you gain the right to judge their work on a scale of good to crap.  And some of the mainstream stuff is definitely crap.  ^__^'
No matter how hastily drawn my chibis are, I have the satisfaction of knowing I'm still way better than most of that crap, at only a fraction of the cost (between free and $0.25USD).

That's an interesting philosophy! Maybe your right.

Case in point is the comic that the creator of Windows 95 OSR 2.5-sama maintains.  From a purely artistic perspective, his drawing style is very shoddy -- sure it gives it an "MS Paintbrush"-style that goes with the theme, but it has nothing on real professional manga.  And yet the delivery of that comic is so off-the-wall funny/cute/fantastic/endearing, that I much prefer his/her stuff than all those weird Homeo strips.  ^___^

Good delivery and detail can compensate for any perceived artistic limitations.  ^__^

Do you think it qould be a good idea to have an entire thread for people to talk about how they draw? I think it would, but I couldn't contribute much, so...
socialism is easy when you don't have anything

Thanks Thurosis-Sama!

I do plan perhaps sometime to create an Inkscape Tutorial thread, but given the probability that that may conveniently slip my mind eventually, perhaps your thread is a safer way to go.  ^^;

In any case, don't forget to include collaging too, so you can have something to contribute that bypasses your *cough cough* try-to-hard-modesty.... -v-;

Bwahahaha! I was waiting for someone to react to that! My new avatar is based off of a 4chan meme. Heard of Gaston from "Beauty and the Beast?" Well, my avatar is from a photoshopped scene of Belle and Gaston but they switched faces!
But I'll change my avatar when I reach 600 posts so you won't see this insanity for long!

EDIT: nevermind! I now reached 600 posts and have a new avatar~O!
