Little hats are... what are you doing up there on that head? You're not a hat. Get down from there.

I'm expecting a PM with a link
You are like my dad. Hes got the engineer's mind. Everything is all numbers and efficiency. I am the opposite.

What number was it? Mine was only there for a day in the "Popular with Males" section at 131 and only because I begged people here to give me stars 'cause I subsist on them... >>;

And there's nothing wrong with that. What would be the point of making art if there was no one there to look it over and appreciate it?
Uh.... let's see... #94 lol

If I remember correctly, I had this happen for one of mine. Not R-18 though.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I wish my non-R-18 work was liked. The Totori/Mimi pic I did took 2 months to get to 140 points. The R-18 Mio/Ritsu was at 400 after two days. >>;
It deserves higher. I'm disappointed in the pixiv viewers.
The rankings are just for fun. It doesn't really reflect much. There are a lot of crazy talented artists on Pixiv that don't get a lot of attention.
RurouniZel
Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
That is true. Some work gets a million votes, and then I see something with 50 that is breathtaking and I go "WTF GUYS?"
So I vote for it. ^^;

The P in pixiv stands for porn.
Yeah, you can basically say that for anywhere, on and off the internet.
I beg to differ.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Your art is good. All you have to do to make it more Pixiv ready is scan it. Trace the lines in Photoshop, put some simple color blobs behind it. Done.
The coloring on computer part is where my artwork is unfinished and not good. Im sure some of it might look great colored. I hardly ever take that extra step.
Why though? Porn and hentai everyday. That's my beauty regimen.

pixiv is basically just DeviantART for Japan.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
I used to watch porn. I can't fap much these days though, it's a long story but basically it hurts to do so. :/
It sucks a lot. :/
Do this. Once the line art is done (make sure there are no gaps around the contour), press CTRL + A. Select the wand tool and press Alt + Click over an empty area outside the character. Go to Select, Modify, Contract (enter 1 or 2 pixels). Choose a color and press Alt + Delete on a seperate layer behind the lines. Select that layer and lock the pixels. You can do that by pressing forward slash when the layer is highlighted.
Now color away! You have a perfect instant (and completely filled in), colored background, and your new colors will never go outside of the lines!
I remember why; my condolences.

Yeah, at least for now I gotta be REAL careful about not doing that, and I can't drink much other than water at the moment. Esp. Coffee. Coffee's a complete no no, the doctor thinks I've developed an allergy to it. :/ I really really miss my morning coffee.
is that with photoshop? I only have Gimp.

I've always loved these outfits, at least Mio and Yui's. Funny how you barely get to see them in the actual show.
Are there more pics of this? Official or fanart I DONT CARE.

Of course, but don't you think you'd like to see them in the episode they're from first? You'll absolutely love episode 10, though in a completely different reason you loved episode 8.
The login username doesn't matter. I don't think anyone can see it unless you make your nick the same or something.
Yeah Ill check it out this week
