*Snowflake~

last public announcement!!!!

2008-11-15T18:24:15Z

snow have some big announcement to make. OWH DONT WORRY im not leaving lj LOL!!!!!

if u ask me what's the thing i learn after one year of fandom...friends are important in terms of quality not the numbers of friends i have. i used to mind the number very much, but as for now, im happy and contented with all my current flist. so unless we know each other in real life or directed by friends or communicated on comments before or i shamelessly ask u to friend me before....im closing my friends adding policy to snoew@lj until further notice.

I POSTED MY NEW BATCH OF WALLPAPERSSSSS XD
where u ask? at is_snowing .

as most of u already know, i'm moving all my graphics to the new graphic community i created. is call Is_snowing. (laughs) i like the name...why a new community? because i want my blog to be just blog :P im getting paranoid...yes so im not posting any graphics to my blog anymore, if u're friending me because of my graphic, u can just unfriend me, i will remove u from my list as well :) as simple as that~

because shii chan (kawarashii ) is being helpful doing her duty as my manager (LOL!!! dont ask why i need one) is_snowing is maintained by shiichan as well, so later she'll be sending out invitations to everyone on my list, feel free to accept it HEREEEEE! and become the member of is_snowing. or just ignore it :P

privileges being a member of is_snowing is, u can join the 'project-killing-snow' by requesting her to do anything that she interest. (tho there's a few ppl happily 'killing' me every now and then and im happy enough to 'slave' for them XD). hehe.

well! happy killing, happy joining, happy watching, happy ignoring~

xoxo
snow

p.s i will be locking all the comments. anything pm me! :D

[scanlation] MISS november 2008

2008-10-26T18:27:40Z

"I don't care how people look at me. Whether it's work or anything else that I do,
I'll only look forward to doing them enjoyably." -aiba masaki

*flaily sigh* dont u just love seeing the other side of aiba that is matured and thoughtful and kind and still aiba <33 actually, i really dont care if you like aiba or u dont care bout him, but this is really some article that worth reading! im serious.

Looking at the magazine that cost me sgd18.7 for these 6 pages... i really want to make full use of it~ and since im dying to know what did they write about aiba, i shamelessly ask (change417 )an-chan for the translation and! i bet everyone saw that already. *shy* XD once again, thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *glomps*

on the other hand, i really salute yuckie_chan for scanning this magazine. i seriously did thought of scanning it, i tried tho XD but in order to scan it clearly u haf to really PRESSS it and i dont dare to..:( BESIDES my great scanner decided to DIED at this point of time...T________T so instead i edited her scans but i did included her watermark~ that is the only way i show my gratitude. once again, thank you!

this might be my only scanlation in the near future but i really had fun doing this rather then doing my work. XD its wrong to be leeching so, comment if u take. opinions, suggestions, critiques, discussions, are all welcome. :D

hehe. probably the first few scan i saw after i fell in love to him last november (yesss im that slow) my first icon was this picture too. hmm..Most of u all wil know that i like to associate aiba in pink, yellow and white, i guess it just brings out the aiba in him; active, playful and cute :P
1280x1024
1440x900

Aiba: cool-huh
this this this this this this this...okay i lack of words...
i love the photo by its own, so i did nothing fancy on it. just took out all the words around him and try to return this photo to the original state...WELL, what can i say, this guy always steal my heart away.
1280x1024
1440x900

Aiba: yay
the moment i saw this scan from yuckie-chan, i was dazzled. my fingers went crazy and this is what i did, without thinking and yes i just love this series of brushes, and im sorry that i dont know what else to do with him...he just....seem so happy here, that makes me want to take out my finger and yay with him.
1280x1024
1440x900

Arashi: everybody
Oricon always deserves to be the best mag. their photoshoot are always the prettiest and i always cant get my hands on it T________T seriously i should hire a spy in kino to grab all the nice mags for me XD well this wallie hmm. i like the warm feeling around it, and im so-sorry nino, ur feet is such a big challenge. i did my best...gomen.
1280x1024
1440x900

Arashi: never ending story
An old scan, from dec2002! i LOVEEE the layout of this page. so i did nothing. and for once, my laziness rocks.
1280x1024
1440x900

Arashi: one rabu
well...we see alot of blue,white sky arashi minna singing happily and all but i did nothing like that. when i got my cd, this brown back leaflet caught my attention, and i was thinking hard how to make something from it...and yay i chose to burn them XD (with photoshop)
1280x1024
1440x900

Arashi: lines
i know i should add words on this . but i suck at typography. so...i figure just forget it and focus on arashi....yes lots of lines. i add the lines one by one (yes the stupidest way, dont laugh :( ) but hmm i like it.
1280x1024
1440x900

Arashi: pick-a-boo
this is my first wallpaper of this batch. i did this around june? when Aichan bought me this mag for my birthday surprise, the only way i could think of to repay her is to make her this. rainbow-y colorful arashi. yeah, the black looks weird. *face palm*
1280x1024
1440x900

2007-12-31T09:49:52Z

my 2007 working hours officially ended at 3pm just now but i use the extra hours to finish up my debts hahaha :P so here goes, the remaining 10 wallies that i did for aiba masaki's 25th birthday.

i used up so many days because i keep self rejecting most of it *worriesss* so...please gimme some love if you like it okeee XD i will deeply appreciate it. *continue worries*

and damn lj sucks at html editing >.<" so gomen..i have to re-edit and post.

completed wallpapers: 25 out of 25
[aiba masaki] 5
[aiba and jun] 1
[arashi] 4

part 1 is here

Group1: ITs rat year babeh!! I chose to feature sho's rat because its the most hilarious ones, so with that i wish all of you all a very happy 2008 ahead!

Aiba1: a very clean wallie, and a very calm looking aiba ...i dont plan to make it so plain, but no matter what elements i try to add it sorta "kill" the mood, so i leave it all blank...

Aiba2: Ya, i know this is a very popular image for wallpaper, i have 2 other versions myself, and one of it is from elenniel, but i cant help it, this is my favourite picture of aiba :P and and....i hope u all like it too :P

Aiba3(a)&(b): i used a quite low res image, and this is a experiment in making artistic wallie. you know, art is really a very subjective thing, and i bet some people will actually hate this wallie *worries*, but ya......i like it :P

Aiba4: Live. life. love, I dedicate this wallie to twistedhalo04, although its not a happy wallie that i promised..but hehe the three words are really for you :D

Aiba5: A more recent shot of aiba's new hair XD my current fav image...so im not doing anything complicated, just line pattern, and i seriously hope it works ....

Buddies v1 (a)&(b): SO, i promised a v1 right :D but i cant decide which one to post, so i post two. i did the black&white version first, but figure that's not really buddy-ish, so i did the pink one.

Group2: A happy arashi laugh. i like all their expressions, its so them..~~ i bet aiba did something baka again.

Group3: royalty neh

Group 4: again a very simple approach, me like the "flowery touch" neh! this wallie is dedicated to aiba_renna as her early bday wallie XD tanjoubi omedetou hana chan :D

So, that's all for this time my friends, what should i do in next batch......*wondersss* well....depends on my mood, and hopefully you guys like my style.....because the idea of requesting is not bad.. we shall see how :P

SO this is THE day. I cant help it and i feel so high although i had a ...weird dream.

aiba chan finally enters my dream, and he was showing me his new pet fish...(which looks exactly like the one at my living room), he told me the name of the fish is ...."niji". i crack out laughing when i was sleeping literary and got choke by my own saliva. and cough very badly and it was only 5.28am -,-" luckily i was too tired if not i will be a zombie for the day.

oke enuff.. after 3 days 2 night of mass photoshopping, so on aiba's 25th birthday, i plan to made 25 wallies of him for him, but i only managed to complete 15 of it (ya i blame myself for starting late). OWH its my first time posting wallie, and im a very new fan, so do let me know if i did anything wrong.
