Journal Entry: Sat Sep 17, 2005, 5:13 AM
AkariPraise is Fliss and Fawn, both students in Melbourne. Fawn is the manga artist and Fliss is the animator.

Fliss:
Hi, I'm Fliss *waves*
Okay, so me and Fawn have been friends for about two years, I guess. We met in our Japanese class in university, and bonded through a mutual love of anime XD. We also discovered that we both liked to draw manga....Fawn noticeably better than me ^^; (I just don't have the patience for learning how to draw consistently! I can't sit down and draw characters over and over and OVER again O_O;;...). But I have always been interested in computer graphics...I've always liked creating things on screen, and how if something looks different than the last time you did it, that's a GOOD thing! And then I got Photoshop. Oh, my beloved Photoshop, how you frustrate me sometimes, yet bring about a wonderous joy...*ahem*...sorry, moving on...
We came about creating the idea of AkariPraise in our Japanese class one Wednesday when Fawn showed me (Fliss) a drawing she had drawn for her friend. And it was like WHOA - like most of her stuff. And her friend was going to be PAYING for it...that was definately a new concept for me. Then Fawn asked if I could learn how to colour in stuff if she scanned it on her computer. And I said of course! There was MONEY involved $_$...but the more we talked about it and the idea of a partnership...the more I thought "this could be something really big...this could really work!". We were going to create a huge online anime art selling empire!! We were going to be asked to do huge anime and computer game art deals! We were going to be RICH!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!....*ahem*...as I was saying...
And the name "AkariPraise" itself came about after, like, 3 hours of talking on MSN going "gensou....gensou...what..." We didn't end up using gensou XD.
That was after deciding on the "pencil" names (aka pseudonyms) of Fliss and Fawn.
And yeah...that's about it. We'll try to put stuff up as soon as possible. Keep in mind that we are major beginners. Well, at least I am a beginner at anime art on computer...in fact, I have yet to even try ^^;...but I am sure I can do it! Gambatte~!!

Fawn:
Hi, this is Fawn, and uh...*waves*. Basically, Fliss has mentioned how all this started and such, and just to let you all know: this is not a person with multiple-personality disorder. We really are two different girls, aspiring to work together to create beautiful art with each of our specialities. Technically I am the one more at home with what I am assigned to do in this partnership. I've been interested in drawing since I became a Sailor Moon fan when I was 11. And Fliss has the rawer deal in this partnership, as she's fairly new in the field of digital animation. But Fliss is immensely interested and is willing to try her hardest and I am sure she will excel in this! =) We have just started working on a few pieces, our official AkariPraise avatar included. ^^
We're really looking forward to our life in Deviant. And hopefully we will get good support and encouragement from fellow Deviants =3.
Ja, take care!

PS - And don't listen to Fliss talking crap about her drawing. Her sketches are cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute~! I will be sure to force her to put up some of her nice drawings on Deviant for sharing!! >=3

PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE POST. IT'S SO DANG TRUE*
1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. If not for you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique.
9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.
13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. Add this as a comment to ten of your friends tonight and at midnight your true love will find you. Something good will happen to you at 2:25 tomorrow. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life. Whoever breaks this chain letter will be cursed with 10 relationship problems for the next ten years tag ur it!! this is so scary!!! send this to 15 ppl in the next 143 min. and then press F6 and your crushes name will appear in big letters!! it is so scary because it works

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light.

Well...I (Fliss) am kinda chronic here ^^;...I comment a lot on people's work, watch a lot of people, fave a lot. And then, like with you, people eventually wander over here to have a look-see, which is very cool! ^^
The avatar....we're still getting around to ^^; We actually have the picture we want, we just haven't had the time to go and make it all nice and pretty =P
And so that's what you do with the lasso tool! Will definitely try! Although I get the feeling when I post up, it will not be the final version...Both me and Fawn also just finished our exams, so we're trying to put more stuff up! We have only 6 deviations O_o;; But it's the holidays now, so yay!! Art time!! X3

~Jsea:iconJsea: Dec 8, 2005, 6:06:26 AM
yup, that's the smudge tool, only i like to call that the rubbing tool. Using lasso to circle up the shadow area and colour it then erase off the unwanted part. this makes the shadowing job easier.

i just finished mai final exam so i'm free... That's why i'm hovering over your site :D

p/s: waiting to see the pic.........

The rubbing tool? Is that similar to the smudge tool? I have not tried using the lasso....eee, there's so much I don't know!!
Hehe, if possible I will get up at the end of the week~ =3
Your enthusiasm is very nice~ X3

Waiting to see the coloured version...... must be very nice XDXD

Hehe, thanks for the advice, any help is welcome ^^
My main problem is that I've never before thought about shadows and lighting in anime....but I'm getting there ^^;

you know what...if you use photoshop you can set the layer properties to mutiply so it's easier to colour it. (it will allow you to put the color on without rubing off the lines) and always create another layer for another color. Hope that this can help you guys(or you guys knew it already?^^;)
