Blue Light Special : Big O Animated Cursor

Normally when I make animated cursors I just jumble images together, fiddle with the timing and call it an animated cursor. The link above is a real animated cursor! Its so cool, its Roger's blue watch (which is why I called it Blue Light Special ^_-).

Current obsession is trying to get the cursor to not bounce. Aside from that it looks like a cool whirl bulls eye. ^_^ *Steph thanks TamaTama~ for the cool gif strips.*

The other project is having the Big O motto float across the screen. Imagine loading windows and suddently the cursor says "Cast in the name of god, ye not guilty!" XD

Unforunately the strip is 81 frames and I need to figure out how to make the text readable. But I'll figure it out! p ( ^^ ) q

Yin - Yang :: Yami no Matsuei Icons

Hmmmm no word on the Big O Images (I may just put them up for the hell of it. =P)

I made Yami no Matsuei icons this morning (hmm by the looks of this post time 12 hrs ago ^^;;;;). They came out better than I expected, the recycle bin icons are worth the set alone imho. ^^ Tsuzuki looks so cute when he's SD. XD

Juri 'n Puu~~ Big O icons are done. There are two sets (one is from your images and stuff I scanned, set B is from Anime-Jump images, I'm waiting for some sign from them about using their images.) Images Set A and Set B. Notes: Set A was my first attempt at using the "transparent" coloring and seeing if I can make little Big-O heads as icons. Set B is a bit more normal. ^^;; Their respective files are Set A and Set B.

A butterfly flaps its wings...

[Tsubasa] Kazumaaaa~! *heart*
[Kazuma] ... Tsubasa... *angst*
[PeroPero] *zzzzzz*
[Dark Arima] ... *evil smile*

Mona gave me eps 1-24 of KareKano (25 & 26 doko desuka? ;_;) I love KareKano, I always seemed to relate to the characters, Maho, Yukino, Tsubasa. The current arc in LaLa is very angsty with Kazuma and Tsubasa. ^^ I love it (despite the angsty parts that go on for 2 months ~_~) *Steph beats Kazuma and Tsubasa with a Clue by Four! (tm)*

KareKano characters tackle issues in a delicate almost "eh" manner, but some how they are parallel to events and emotions we experience ourselves. ^^;;; I was watching a KareKano ep where Yukino thinks about life with out her friends and Arima this sort of made me think about how I would have been if I hadn't lived in the house my parents currently own, and if I hadn't met the friends I met, or gone to the schools I went to. Would I be the same person now? Or would I have been in a different place? Would that different me be better off right now?

I wondered, once and a while, what things would have been like if I hadn't done a certain thing. Its truly interesting how one's current actions really affect stuff you do later in life. Like they say... a butterfly flaps its wings in India... and that's why it rains in SF.

Beta Page

When I write fics I know how the order goes, I just write out of order. Which is exactly how Shape of the Heart is being written. The link above is the beta page for Shape of the Heart scenes written and laid out in the order they appear in the story time line. This is useful for me since I have a tendancy to lost my sense of direction in the time line. ^_-

If this was a paper version I would have it all laid out and plotted out on the floor. Page by page ordered and rearranged until the continuity flowed well. All my writing is written this way. I cannot think of a time when I wrote from A-Z.

If you do read the fic remember that I've never read DNAngel except the recent chapters in Asuka 10/00-5/01 (which is probably in manga timeline sense end of vol 4 and most of vol 5). Might I add Dark is one sekusay guy. H_H I modeled 21 year old Daisuke after Dark. I figured Daisuke "grows" into being comfortable with himself and takes on most (or some) of the elements that makes up Dark (outgoing, flirty, good looks). They are the exact elements that are needed to heal poor broken Sakura. ^_-

There is an ease when writing about characters that are way out of the typical age range or -verse. The boundaries of the character expand and get fuzzy, so there is more lee-way when writing about a certain character or how they would react. I find this refreshing because sometimes a character can limit the range of emotions they can show. When you write a fic you *have* to write in the way the character typically reacts or how they express themselves. Kerochan can't mysteriously have an Kansai accent when he had an Osaka accent, or Sakura would never suddently lose all sense of self and do drugs. But in the fic, for example, Sakura is anti-social, a very non Sakura thing to do. Rash readers will react badly to Sakura being very out of character, but if you think about why she is the way she is you'll start to wonder if Sakura has joined a cult, changed her life, run away from something, grew up, had trauma in her life, or all of the above. That's what I mean when older characters blur the lines of characterization. =)

If this blog made no sense, its okay, its 2 am and I'm entitled to random babble. But if it did make sense go read the fic. ^^

What year did you first start using a computer?

1985, more specifically probably when I was six when the Apple IIc came out and I started playing Reader Rabbit on it. ^^ And then the Apple IIgs came out at school and everybody thought it was coolest thing since sliced bread. ^^;; Ahhh the memories. I still have the LCD for the Apple IIc. XD

sparkly! =D

"i can't tell you how thrilled i am to see a pretear site! ^_^ you've made me a very, very happy vector. keep up the excellent work, and i'll be sure to check back here frequently!"

Bless you! <3 I love getting comments about my other pages that aren't kkj. ^^;; I love kkj but its not one of my favorite manga series (but when I originally made the page I loved the series).

However Vector, is such a cool person (who I note likes Mikan no Tsuki too! ^_^_b). Comments like those make my day and they give me reason to put pages up on unknown series. XD Thanks for making KeroSteph's day sparkly!
