Mhmphuh. You know what sucks? All my graphics are in my other virus-holding computer, which is sadly put to rest right now on the floor. D: So now I'm using my brother's. :3 ~huggles to my kuya~ So, sadly ...in a weird, fortunate way, my sucky "graphic portfolio" I was about to post weeks before is even further delayed. T_T Sorryyyy. ;_; Wait, WTF am I saying! It's a good thing, neh? ^_^ Your eyes won't get blinded any time soon, now would it? x] Plus, they were all stuffy crap anyway. So, there's nothing much to be worried about. Well, er, anywho ~trying to sound smart~, I have just made a desktop wallpaper this morning, featuring -- yeah, you guessed it -- OWAIT, you'd nevar figure it out!! -- CloudxAeris. <3 :whistle: OHMAHGAWDAYSURPWIAZEDYAF00L!!!11!eleven~ So unpredictable!! ~wh00t!~ Boy, did I just get you there! Victory! Gah, no shiz Sherlock. >.> So... um, I'll quit bustin' my yap now. .__.;;

Different version of it!:

Hope you like, which I highly doubt. XD; The only thing I'd like about it was working on it, since the thoughts of CloudxAeris together make me so happy (and yesh, dorky as well. :3) Even though I may as feel like my head would rather be off chopped for this, any type of comments are always welcome: good, bad, so-so, etc.! Just don't be too hard on me plz, I'm kinda sensitive. Haha. I suck. (Just kidding. Sharp criticism is also welcomed, since I can use MANY pointers. XD)

EDIT:
Since you guys are just sooooso nice, I've decided -- and I PROMISE -- that I will make more smizz with Photoshop, and present it here in this thread everytime. Tanku so much, everyone. You made me too happy today. ^_^ ~huggles~

EDIT (Aug. 10, 2006):
New craptastic graphics!! :winner:


This one's using the powerful lyrics from the beautiful "Final Distance" by the oh so blessed Utada Hikaru (er, well, the m-flo remix version since it adds "just you & me, baby"). ^0^ I think it's a perfect Cloud&Aerith song. <3 I don't really like this sig personally (I was rushing), but I love the touching quote from Utada and those pics of Cloud and Aerith from FFVII. It was to experiment, in a way, to show their expressions of desire/sorrow/the smexiness of their pixels. ^^;


This was originally made for a contest in SH, so I had lots of fun with this. I still cannot resist this adorable Tifa screenshot, so I had to use it!! x] "A different kind of magic" ~ to me, it's intentionally supposed to describe the amazing woman she is, regarding that she's remarkably a tough lady with a gentle soul. Her "magic" is so hard to define because she's simply awesome in countless ways. XD; So like, nawh, she doesn't need crappy fire materia to drop it like it's hot. She can just walk in with her skillz & beauty to cast her special magic anytime XD Tifa ish teh r0xorz!!1


"Always with you" ~ self-explanatory in terms of Cloud&Aerith relation, neh? XD I'm actually quite proud of this one, in all honesty. ^^;; ~gets pelted with tomatoes~ It isn't that crowded/stuffy like all of my other works, and this one, to me, gave somewhat of a bright... clean... "natural", full-of-life feel to the graphic. @_@; I love this fanart (especially the colors); so simple yet elegant in the softest, most gentle way. <3 And yesh, I also adore how Aerith is peacefully... napping(?) or enjoying herself in bliss on Cloud's back while he watches her "wtf?? gtfo aeristh" with a hidden priceless emotion that peeks out on his face. Ah, I couldn't resist using this masterpiece either. CloudxAerith FOREVAH, yay! ~releases rabid self~

Please, lemme know you feel, if this addition isn't too late. XD;

*jaw drops* ............ WOW! :woot: They. are. amazing! I love BOTH of them! So much! *huggles the wallpapers* :D I especially LOVE the second one *is so gonna use that one*

I like the effects and the colours. You haven't overloaded with brushes or anything which is good and its not full of blending and the pictures are used well ^_^ They're wonderful! Keep up the good work.

Trisha, those wallpapers are so cute and I love them! :wub: Don't be so hard on yourself because those are really good. <3 I might use those later on. 'Cause the last time I had a Clerith wallpaper was several hundred years ago. :lol: Great Fantabulous job! :wub:

Aww, your wallpapers are love in a box, which is called my computer desktop. I took down the wallpaper I made myself yesterday so I could put yours on. It's too bad about your computer though, I'd love to see more love from you <3.

Great Job, T_S, as always. :)

D: D: D:! Wow, I'm surprised!! :huggle: Tanku soso much, cloudnine, Thena-chan, and PH <33 Haha, I know, I just re-read my post and it sounds like I hate myself to the bitter bits of hell. O_O;; Lol. But I appreciate your comments!! I just think my graphics are always too crowded, in a way... o.O;; Like, too many random stuff going on here and there. @_@

cloudnine: Aw.. :blush: I've never been so flattered in my life. ^^; Thanks for giving me an idea on your ideal graphic stuff! It really helps me out. ^_^ Plus, it really shocked me when you replied right away. ^o^ ~glomps~ I predicted that the thread would be dead silent for many, many hours until someone comes up just to be nice. XD; Haha. But your reaction has made me very, very happy. Thank you, again. And I'm glad you are planning to use it~~ that even boosts my spirits up!! <33

thena-chan: Eeeee!!~ I am so flattered!! Aw, you might use it too?? ;_; *July 19th of 2006 of the 21th century (no dah) is the greatest e-day evar* huggles x 500~ you know I lurv j00. D:

PH: O.O Myyy, thank you so much dearest!! :huggle: You're very sweet!! <3 Aw, you used it... that makes me very happy. ;_; But why did you have to replace yours?? I'm sure it was MUCH snazzier than mine. I remember your graphics before, and they were just amazing!! <3 Plus you just made it yesterday... gah, I feel guilty. >.< I guess I'm having too much fun with Photoshop, lol. And thank you for your sympathy for my dead computadora. T_T I've lost hope. </3

Edit: I'm gonna change the title now, if I can. n_n

Wow TS your work is really amazing. I wish I could use the second one but the only computer I have that's mine is the one at work so I can't :sad: but I still wanted you to know that I really liked it. It is the first one I would put as a wallpaper for my computer...not that others aren't nice but it has the theme I was looking for...does that make sense :unsure: Anyway... Wonderful job!

:woot: They are awesome!!! I'm using the second one on my desktop! Simply beautiful! Nice work!!

:woot:

aerisbolt: Wowww... aw, you're so sweet. <3 Thank you so much!! I'm glad you liked it, and oh, my! I feel so honored. ^o^~ :huggle: I am so happy right now, haha. I appreciate everything, sweetie! Tanku, tanku, tanku~~ :lol:

Imaginary__girl: Eeee~!! Girl with the Tifa skills! <3 I'm so delighted to hear from you, especially after seeing YOUR lovely work! ^_^ I'm very glad that you're using it... aw, shucks. :blush: I appreciate your comments~ they really encourage me. XD Thank you thank you thank you!! <33

I've decided to put more of my future smizz here,
so be on a lookout when I edit!! :3
THANK YOU so much, I__G & aerisbolt!! You girls are too sweet. :huggle:

That is sooo pretty & cute! <3 I like it! Good job! TS ^^

There has got to be something wrong with you if you think those graphics aren't AMAZING! I love theemm!! CLoud looks so cute in the first pic, i love the color, i love what you wrote!
It's just great! :fangirl:

Wow both of these wallpapers are really good! I love em' to death. :fangirl: Good job TS and here's a cookie *hands cookie*

Very very nice job! Hm, since you asked for advice and shizzle....

It has plenty of curves, giving a really nice artistic feel, but you might wanna balance that out a little more, since your straight lines are pretty light, and the first straight lines I really see are around the two pictures of Cloud by 'you calm the storms'. So try to make those lines on the outside after the white frame of those pix more dark and definite, you know? Like, make dark grey lines around it.

I'd say in the big picture with Cloud, make slightly thick paintbrush-like grey-to-dark-grey lines on the lower right corner, and upper left corner area, make the line starting somewhere under the flower and after going around the corner end around where the letter 'e' is, teh upside down one, plz. Then have the upper-left corner the horizontal line end around the 'h' in 'calm tHe storms', and have the vertical one end somewhere around the faint blue hearts on the side. And then in the smaller pic, do the upper right corner and lower left, and of course, thinner lines...

I hope that wasn't too confusing. :sweat: Mebbe I should draw a pic on artpad of what I mean or somethin' xDD



....

Yeah, I watched Project Runway last night, so I'm inspired? I dunno.

Trisha, you always have to belittle me, and make me jealous and green with envy. :sad: Your graphics are truly wonderful, and that goes without saying. I love themes that you use, it's colourful, bright, and the images look perfect. <3

You make Photoshop look so easy! :lol: When I used a trial version of Photoshop, I was quite glad when the trial was up, it was just so confusing! Meh, maybe it's cuz I'm used to Paint Shop Pro. >_< But your graphic skillz are wonderful... if I daresay, snazzy! :wub:

I don't believe I've done a Cleris wallpaper in a while... *tinkers in Paint Shop Pro*

:woot: x 5

Princess-Saphira: Thank you oh so much. ~huggles~ I'm glad that you like it, pretty lady!! ^_^ ~still admires teh by00tee in the Photo Album thread~ <3

LadyNelZelpher: Haha! XD Oh, please, it's seriously not that great... but thank you VERY, VERY much. Aw, you're so sweet. ~glomps~ :lol: I just played around the colors since I liked to portray a ray of light... or just a ray of rainbowy smizz basking Cloud as his personal symbolic note of Aerith's presence as he's looking relaxed. ^o^ And, I can't believe that I forgot where the credit is due: the lyrics are from Lifehouse's "Everything" -- it's such a BEAUTIFUL song. ;_; It reminds me of Cleris very, very much, so that's why I used a lyric or two -- plus it suited the feeling that was meant to be felt in the graphic, if that made any sense. o.O I appreciate it very much ~ <3

Demos Maus: ~tackle-glomps~ Tanku so much for the cookie! :woot: Aww, your comment is really sweet. I'm surprised you love them to death, wow. You're very awesome, I hope you know that. XD; I'll send you 5 golden Twinkies in exchange for your super kindness, yo. <3

Rikkulicious: If I could thank you forever, I would. So like, I think I should start now. '_' Um, thank you. Hehe. NO, tanku mucho for the advice!! I appreciate it all! I know, it seemed like a lot was going on around Cloudy so it was all crazy. @_@ Ish teh flawful to teh fullest. t3h gheyz0rz. ._. So, um, thanks again for noticing and trying to help me out~ :huggle: So, I see is that I have to balance all the lines the same color, or at least make the lines on the smaller pic darker?? Got it. ^_~ And for the bigger piccy, make darker paintbrushy lines, and the other line should start on the flower and end on the upside-down 'e', as well as the other lines starting and ending somewhere else. Sigh, so many lines I put D: D: D: (If I'm getting it all wrong then plz hit me with a wireless phone with My Little Pony stickers on it. D:) Mmks, that helps a lot!! TankuuuuUuuUuUu!! ~glomps~ Rikkulicious has so much skillz. <3 (Haha, I heard of Project Runway, but I don't frickin' know the channel. ;_; Well, I watch America's Next Top Model, if that helps n_n;;)

ER: :o Don't belittle yourself!! There's absolutely nothing to cause those reactions. You got it all twisted XD; Hehe, ER is teh graphic mastarr 4 lyfe. <3 I've always admired your skills. ;_; But thank you so much for your comment ~ you make me truly happy. D: Haha, I'm such a newb with Photoshop - I don't know how to do this or that or any professional shiz... sigh. And LOL! You used the word SNAZZAY! ~parties~ :huggle: x 5,000

Holy schmoly pepperoni! :hyper: That is absolutely positively gorgeous, TS! I adore your graphics. It has such a nice look to it. BOTH versions! :D

OMG!!!! I LOVE THAT SO MUCH :cleris: :fangirl: ...I wanna use that as my desktop, if you don't mine :hyper: wish I could make stuff like that, still haven't figured it out :lmao:

Awww, thankyou. But truly, your graphic-ness is teh awesome-ness, yais. If you're still a newb at Photoshop, you'll kick ass when you're 100% experienced!~ :huggle:

And those lyrics are awesome. Lifehouse is groovy. I have on of their songs: I wish I knew how (it would feel to be free). Great song.

*Googles Lifehouse's Everything*

~Huggles-x-Cuddles~
<3

TS....YOU ARE LOVE. *worships and grovels at your feet*

You must make more wallpapers! I demand it!! These are the most beautiful things on earth, goodness cleris! I've always loved your graphics. I'm using it at the moment, I always like the fonts you use and your colours are always pleasing too. Where'd you get your talent, girl?! It's so lovely, can't wait to see more!

Oh my goodness! That is GORGEOUS! Wow, I just can't stop looking at it.

D'you take requests?

:swoon:
True Serenity, you are the first person Ive seen to ever make beautiful wallpaper, especially one of Cleris :cleris:. :rose: My compliments to you TS! :huggle:

The 2nd version I like more with Cloud and Aerith together on the right side. I really cant tell the difference between them other than that one thing I just pointed. Do more TS! :huggle:

Both are really nice, i prefer the second one though
:cleris:

I totally love them, espeshially the second one! hopefully u do more and u can show everyone them :D very talented :) xx

Trisha, I just dumped my current wallpaper like a sack of potatoes and immediately put the first version of yours on my desktop. Don't care if others are using it and I'm being unoriginal. It makes me drool waaaay too much to pass up. :lust:

But this is undoubtedly one of the most adorable, if not THE most adorable Cleris wallpaper I've ever seen. I adore your style--it's so fresh and original, and even though I get SO ridiculously jealous every time I see your stuff, I still fangirl over how fresh and original your ideas are. You are officially teh snazz. :wub:

On a side note... best. sig. ever. :lmao:

First off: Please forgive me for reviving my own strange graphic thread, but I just had to... to... you know, show how much I appreciate all your flattering comments. :blush: Gawds, you people are just too nice!! I tell you, it's struggling me to put my thank you's in words, so... err... I just want y'all to know that you guys are all made of total win. <3 I love you all to the fullest, and take that for serious. And, yesh, I know I sound amazingly, dorkishly filled with loseridus in my AWFUL paragraph right now... Sigh. I just came back from vacay, and seeing this post makes me feel like I'm having a grand "WELCOME BACK" fiesta in my pants.

Lutearina: Gawds, mucho kudos to you for beginning your post with such an awesome saying. XD And... awww(x99), I'm so glad that you like it!! ~blushes~ And both versions too!! <33 You most definitely know how to flatter someone, sweetie.

Black_Chii: Holy crap, it's an absolute honor to know that someone at least considers using my work. Thank you~ man, you're so sweet!! Of course you can use it!! And I just commented your graphic thread, and you got some amazing talent there. Geez, if you still wish to be better later on, your future graphic shop would be sucha grandeur hit. *0*

ER: Ayayaya!! You're a pro @ making me happy like when a fat boy sees a fresh new box of Twinkies!! ~huggles and cuddles~ Girl, I still saved the old set that you made me a long, long time ago, and boy does it still seem so fresh to me. <33 I still title your graphics as THE official hot smecks with all its elegant beauty and spunk at the same time, FYI. Don't you dare think otherwise!! >:[ Hehe. Plus, isn't that "Everything" song so darned sweet?? ~drowns~

yin-chan: I'm 100% serious. You don't know how much your comments make me happy. ;_; <3 YIN-CHAN ISH THY LURV!!1 I swear, yo, to my heart and soul. Hehe. ~huggles~ And I'm on my way to making a batch of new wallpapers, and if hopefully they're good enough, I'll force myself to share them pronto. I'm a bit rusty since vacay has made me lazy and totally brainwashed from the previous summer days, so... I'm kinda screwed in the graphic department. XD; ~sits yin-chan down and demands for her to request a foot massage from T_S~ I bow before sucha talented lady. ;]

Sefie: O_O Eee, you nearly made me jump off my chair!! Ah, receiving a comment from you totally makes my upcoming week. Oh heavens, I sound like an utter dork. ^^;; Thank you so much Sefie. <33 And, oh wow... ~blushes~ About requests: I never really considered my own graphic shop since there are waaay better graphic masters out there... and my graphics are just... out there... but thanks for the huge encouragement!! You make me feel so happy. XD I'll think about doing requests, just the concern of time and how crappy they'll be haunts me. D:

Carmen: Sweetie, are you serious!?!? Haha, you should see all the other amazingly beautiful Cleris wallpapers, and most certainly mine's not the best. However, my heart to your compliments -- you sure do know how to make someone smile. ~blushes~ Oh, and you got the difference spot-on. It's correct. XD; Not much to contrast, only the piccies on the right side. Haha, awesome you noticed!!

Flower_Girl: Aww, thank you so much, sweetie!! ~blushes~ I can tell that most people like the one with Cloud and Aerith next to eachother. x] <3

xClarexStrife: And you totally flatter me, lovey!! XD Tanku so much for your bolded, sweet comment. <33 Hopefully y'all will like my upcoming wallpapers~ sorry that I'm taking so looong creating them. >0< And to hear that I'm "very talented" totally drowns me in xClarexStrife love. XD

Luna-Nayru: LUNAAA. O_O THE LUNA. My gawds, how it is such an honor to receive such a snazzy, heart-warming comment from you!! <3 I swear, it's so hard for me to come up with an awesome reply to be compatible with yours. ;_; Ah, I'm sososo thrilled that you liked it. And the notion of you using my work makes me wanna die now so I can die happy. Eee, much love to you Luna!! However, one thing straight: my graphics can never compare to your beautiful, amazing, creative, original, phenomenal, the-best-complimental-word-there-is-to-describe-Luna's-unmatchable-works... I know that didn't make sense right there, but I can't describe how snazzy your graphics are. Plus I'm just so darn happy right now. XD; ~squees like a tard~ And you?? Unoriginal?? Whatta total lie!! x3 Your stuff is just the true snazz. No denying there. Just, tanku again... you're just too made of win. <33 ~showers Luna with infinite edible plushies~
+++(and thank you mucho about the sig >0<; hehe, a bit corny, but we shall relive the fresh atmosphere of Mr. Rogers' amazing teachings ^0^ Never shall they die!!)

Again, THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH. I swear, I'll get straight to work on those upcoming graphics!! I know I'm taking too long, so sorry to the fullest~ :huggle:

EDIT (5 days later) XD
I made a sig for a contest(?) in SH, not that great but thought I'd share:

I just can't resist that screenshot of Tifa!! She's so cuuute. :blush:

And also a sloppy Devotion sig (:():

"Final Distance" - Utada Hikaru ~ it perfectly suits CxA to pieces. <33

And, third... is my current sig at the moment. ^_^ Just freshly made like a minute ago!! (right now it's Aug. 10th @ 8:14PM US Eastern time). I loved using that fanart, so I enjoyed making it. ^^; I'm actually quite proud of this one since it's so simple and less crowded. XD

WELL, this post is long enough. :lol: Ciao, hunny bunnies!! :D

Oh my Gaw T_S!!! Those are so awesome! Your graphics so pwn mine! XD :huggle:

I love the Tifa one! Its so pretty! I love the quote you used for that one. Tifa is a different kind of magic. :tifa: <---rocks my socks.

And I adore your Cleirth "Final Distance" one! I would've never guessed it was rushed! Very beautiful!

And your current siggy is of course stunning. I love the colors you used in it. And of course, Cleris goodness. XD

Your graphics are so awesome T_S! They inspire me to make mine just as well one day! :gift:

IG, you must know that you're the sweetest girl on the face of the earth. :huggle: Thank you sooo much for your kind words; I am glad that sucha skilled person like you feels that way about my crap!! ^0^ And of course, Tifa totally rocks socks like no one has ever rocked before. <3

Awww~ :sad: I appreciate your post so much; you're just too shweet!! ~hugglez~ And I personally think your graphics are just too AMAZING already, but if you still think you need to improve, you'll MOST DEFINITELY kick everyone's ass later on. XD

oh, T_S your graphics are down right LUV in disguise. :no: Their beautiful. I love how you add such life and bright vibrant colors. Simply gorgeous. The photo shots are amazing as well.

Yours sigs never seem to always amaze me. Their absolutely gorgeous. The lovely cleris scenes, and the tifa one are LUFF. :wub:

I can't see how much better you could get. Your simply outstanding loves. :huggle: Keep up the awesome job deary. :huggle: :wub:

Aww, everything is so wonderful!! ^_^ And I see that there is a reti icon in there too! 0_0

*clings to it*

I shall have to find something to request, I will ponder on it ...
