It kinda bothers me too that now not everyone is viewing the game the same. I can also see why some people don't want the new sprites- gravity kinda failed hard with the exception of a few classes. I just don't agree with how (as stated above) one sided this patch is. Adding new job classes isn't really that hard.. you could just implement the classes as they are. It takes work but running a server means working at improving it, right? And the only "improvement" i've noticed is adding more unnecessary cash shop gears. If anything adding the new job classes would be a step forward in having them fully implemented. Obviously the skills still need adjusting and balancing but that doesn't mean you can't get started on it.

oh skyrineee, wot a qt ;3

I'm shocked at how little flaming there is so far! Uhh I don't have a hate list.. yet. :<

Dear Diary. ): /end.

behind the camera. apples or oranges?

Dear Diary. Just saw Kick-Ass. It was freakin awesome. .end.

I'm going to vote for [ 2 ] Lenneth Celie. Her interpretation of Aries and Libra are really cute and unique in style. She seemed to have put a lot of thought into the design and flow of the image. Even though it's two different signs they work well together in the image making it over-all pleasant to look at.

your works just keep getting better and better. >w<

Well, of course just keep messing around with it and you will learn all the technical stuff. The text is hard to read and has no real focus in the image. If you are interested in making signatures the text needs to stand out more and not get kinda lost in the background. You can use a site like this: http://www.colorcombos.com/ to get an idea of how colors match and compliment each other. Sometimes it's as simple as different variations of the same color. Also just looking at other works for inspiration can help. Anyway, good luck with your work!

well for the most part the images are visually unappealing. need to work on color combinations, and try not to mess too much with sprites themselves unless you are improving the detail and quality. also stretching images doesnt ever look good. and pay attention to quality of the images you use. Also think about how easy it is to read text over backrounds like the one in your last image. You kinda get lost in the colors and swirls and with a dark text and only small outlines it makes harder to see. Well i hope that helps! :x

just had to go over the rules again, stupid me~ >.< sorry!

ign: April. or Appie

Aw thank you! I did use those colors because of GM-Wish. xD I think her pallet is so cute.. i just wish I could have squeezed the ruckie in somehow. xD Personally the pink is my fave.. lol. I know lots of people dont like the color cuz its soo girly but that's exactly why i like it haha! Yours also look really nice too! Very clean work and easy to read. :3 I like the use of the new classes, even if they aren't available yet. The artwork is so sexy~ ;3 Anyway, I re-did the two I posted before the extension. Only think I don't like about the changes is I had to crop my artwork some more. >_< but. im trying to imagine them with the login window and i think over-all these look better. :3 http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/4910/frologin01.png http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/8024/frologindark.png

@ Alley; Here's a nice free open-source program you can use that is similar to photoshop: http://www.gimp.org :3 here's another entry using the layout suggested. pink one~ http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/4231/fr...ingpinkcopy.png teal one~ http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/4634/fr...icetealcopy.png

fortunately this shouldn't be an issue for anyone using photoshop and saving their .psd's. thanks for the extension and heads-up! i'll be making proper modifications to my work to suit your preferred layout if that's okay. :3
