Drawings / Re: (my arts)Yoshiki & Toshi
« on: July 22, 2008, 12:16:51 PM »
Again, not picture perfect, which is good in my opinion, as otherwise one might as well have photos instead of painting. But you have again captured the essence, in a wonderful way. Even though it doesn't look exactly like hide, it has more the spirit of hide than I've seen a lot of other "perfect" drawings, and also yoshiki. Great stuff!

Of course. Nevertheless, when a basic social courtesy becomes a written rule, it does give off the feel of being treated as preschool kids. "Now, now, children, let's all respect each other". LOL (Sorry if this is a repetition of what's already been rehashed over and over)

That's not what we want. I think Belle & Sebastian summed up very well what I was saying. It's just that the rules of the forum ask members to respect each others, that's it.

I'm sure the good intention is there, and perhaps some people need to have this as a rule, although I would say that's a minority who are likely to break the rule anyway. To be respectful of each other is a basic unspoken rule in all social interactions, so does it really have to be down in writing? Anyway, I'm fine with it being there, although I find it to be overkill.
 :P

Voicing one's opinion and to complain aren't necessarily the same things. But if most opinions are treated as complaints, people are going to get insulted.

Also, it's doubtful that all members are, or want to be, outright bad-ass rockers themselves in their real life. Just because a forum allows room for movement doesn't have to mean that everybody's going to behave the same way. But then again, what if they are? Do we all have to be the same and fit into one cutesy mold?

I'll live on macaroni cheese for a month to be able to buy it. But I MUST.  :)

I really like the painting of Yoshiki. The likeness is not perfect, but you have managed to perfectly capture the expression on his face and especially in his eyes. My guess is that you would be really good at fast pencil sketching.

I think the kitten looks a bit like Miyavi. Miauwi, perhaps?

Important / Re: New upgraded forum !

We are currently working on the layout, wait a sec, I'll activate the "standard" one (white and blue). You can then choose it in your profile.

Thanks! This saved my day as I'd have gone blind staring at that black background. I highly recommend the white and blue theme to anyone. Even the layout is different and much closer to the old layout (more compact).

I don't think it's so much about the rules anymore. I think it's about being yelled at to line up like nice little bathtub duckies in a row, or else the door is there. *points*

That kind of attitude may work on some - more naturally obedient types of people - but metalheads are kind of fak-da-sistem people to begin with, so it's no wonder there are strong reactions.

Anyway, that's my hobby psychologist analysis for today. I'll now do as I'm told. I'll STFU.  :P

I'm so hopeless at this! Yeah, I recognise 7 easily, but the rest? I must be deaf, or too busy watching a movie to be listening to the music.

 Also, I have said it before in some thread here, but I can't remember where, that he's a photographer's absolute dream and would have made, I think at least, a wonderful actor had he decided to get into movies.


Seth et Holth, anyone? XD


Hehe, yeah, but I don't really count Seth et Holth. Well, I do, but it was only a small art project. WHICH I absolutely adore, btw. And they didn't say much, LOL.

Edit: Adore is an understatement. Worship is more correct.  :P

Anyone notice hide is basically like 2 people xDDD?


To me, hide is so many different people that I lose count! Especially visually, and what fascinates me more than anything is the way he managed to change his body language. Also, I have said it before in some thread here, but I can't remember where, that he's a photographer's absolute dream and would have made, I think at least, a wonderful actor had he decided to get into movies.

I kind of like the similarities in the songs. It's like a common thread runs through a lot of them.

I just ordered hide's Alivest. There was only one copy left at amazon.jp so I made quick decision (they're out of stock at yesasia).

Can't wait!
