Heyy everyone! I'm so sorry for being so inactive.... To tell you the truth, xanga is VERY old for me & I have been very busy lately :[ This past year has been very hectic because of my Sats, college apps, and art classes that I've been taking at Pasadena Art Center. I've actually decided that I want to major in Graphic Design and I really hope that I get into an Art College ^___^ And yes, I AM in my senior yearr. Ugh I'm getting old. I started xanga when I was 14 years old and now, I'm 17 & I think it's time that I moved on. If any of you guys want to talk to me, visit my facebook or even im me on aim :D I'm always active on those two places. hehe~

btwww, here are 2 of my digital pieces that I've done this past 2 months ^____^

For the first one, I actually took he picture of my friend playing his cello & I used the displacement tool on photoshop cs3 to edit the whole thing and for the second piece, my friend took a picture of my other friend and he let me edit the picture & I flipped the images. All the brushes and designs are made by me. I've decided to never download brushes from sites anymore and now, I make my own brushes by hand & then scan them later. :D

HAPPY BELATED HOLIDAYS!~

Operation: Ouran Christmas... SUCCESS!~

I hope you guys like it!~ ^______________^ It was very time consuming to vector everything over again, since the origional scan had all these test in it >.< But, it was really worth it at the end :)

Turkey Day :3

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! EAT LOTS OF TURKEY~

(EAT LOTS AND LOTS OF TURKEY EVERYONE!~) -Sorry for the lack of updates :(

No new update with my layouts... I have been infatuated with making wallpapers and also VECTORING! O_o I just figured that I needed to learn how to use photoshop. Well, to tell you the truth, I watched a vectoring tutorial video for 2 minutes and went straight to vectoring something in photoshop cs2 XD I'm almost done with vectoring my kh2 one but I didn't really work on it much because of school... Anyways, here's a preview of it:

<333 Samantha

P.S.

Check out animepaper.net :3 They have AMAZING wallpapers there and this site really inspires me to create wallpapers even more ^_______________^

--------------------------EDIT-------------------------------

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN! It's finally here! O.o The kh2 wall

Can anyone guess what I vectored for the bg? :3

Here are the scans that I used for this entire wall to vector:

Enjoy~ ^_________^

I'm finally backkk :) Sorry if I took so long to update my xanga -.- I've been extremely busy.... During the time when I wasn't on xanga I was basically moving, no internet, and school started. Goddammit! School is hell right now... I'm taking 3 AP classes which are: AP English, U.S. History, and Spanish Language (All three are AP courses) I never knew that it could be so hard. I had trouble actually managing my time actually. I really wanted to update my xanga but, I had no time..... Sorry if I worried any of you guys... I just read some of your comments and I promise to write back to everyone. ( BTW, Andrew, sorry to worry you so much ^__^) Well, I'm finally back I guess. Thanks Everyone for leaving comments on my xanga!~ I promise to go write back to you guys right now... Even if it's like 2 months late -.-

My gift to you guys is a wallpaper I made a week ago :) Hope you guys like it~ It was origionally supposed to be a new layout but, wtheck, it turned to be a wall afterall XD Maybe I will edit it to make a layout out of it. ^__^ Who knows wat I'll do next :D

*After clicking on the image, right click and "save as target"

Does anyone know who it is????!??! xD I'm pretty sure that everyone knows :3

Anyways.... time for me to go reply to everyone's comments they've left to me :O AND, I am officially back, unless if I say that I'm on hiatus :x

----------------------------Edit------------------------------------

BTW, Omgg~ I am finally using photoshop! O.O Never thought that I would ever love it this much... But I only use it for vectoring though XD I had no clue how to use photoshop because it the controls were different compared to PSP9 but, after watching a video on vectoring for 2 minutes I got it right away XD Elaine hates me for that... Here's a preview of what I am vectoring these days :)

I'm not that great at it but, it's my first time ever attempting vectoring XD They were both done on photoshop, it's just that I have them open on PSP9 >.<

Long time no see everyone? XD Just only 2 weeks of no new updates. Lol! Wanna see what I got for you guys? :3 Really wanna know? O_o 2 layout! Muhahahaha!~ One with Johnny Depp ( first time making a movie character) and then the second one is from FFVII: Before Crisis. I do hope that you guys know what that is. I was planning to use the Before Crisis layout for myself but, I just thought nvm. -.- Here you go:

http://www.xanga.com/CATest9

I made a webjay playist for both of the layouts with the songs that I thought that matched perfectly with the layout. Hope you nobody minds about that >.> ALSO! I made 2 wallpapers from FFVII & FFXIII XD It came out pretty good I guess:

Just click on those screenshots to get them -.- They're both by 1024x768. To save it, click on whichever wallpaper you want, then RIGHT CLICK it & press SAVE TARGET AS. Got it? ^_______^

BTW, July 25th was Black49's brithday! Yayyyyy! :) Everyone a happy 13th birthday :]

Lastly, In mid August I may not be on for a while because I'll be moving houses. So don't be suprised if I don't respond later in August. So please don't freak out XD

Dann Dan DANNNNN!!~ Another layout creation is completed :D Finally, a Vincent & Lucrecia layout from Dirge of Cerberus :))) I'm really satisfied with this layout except for the fact that it's the same layout style (AGAIN) *sigh* I wish that I can be more creative in my style of layout >.> Seriously though.... Here's the link to the new layout. I'm going to submit it into Blogrings when it's done going through maintenance?!? O.o I dunno if it's only me having this problem.. Tell me what you guys think.

---------------Edit---------------------

Omg!!! Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest is a MUST SEE! Seriously, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom is just too freakin' hot. <--- Okay, normally I don't act like this but, MAN! I recommend everyone to see it. If you saw the first one, you'll like the second too ^____________^ I just can't wait for #3 to come out next year xD I hope it'll come out on my birthday next year

The music is also really really good! It's really similar to the first one but, it has its own theme to it. I'm going to be playing parts of the Pirates of the Carribean songs in my orchestra next year. I'm really excited about that since the cellos never really get solos.

BTW! I found the KINGDOM HEARTS FONT! >:] Here's the link to it ------> http://ww.dafont.com/kingdom-hearts.font

ALSO! Anyone who's interested in entering a layout contest, go to Black49's xanga :) (http://www.xanga.com/BLACK49) The theme is Video Games! Muahahaha~ Lots of fun. (Ends on July 20th)

I finished my layout for the contest and here it is:

I know it looks similar to my 2 other layouts but, it's different in its own way xD Check it out and tell me what you guys think :3

Tomorrow is FINALLY the Anime Expo in Anaheim!!! Yayyy! This is going to be my first time going there and my friend Elaine is also going to be going with me XD I even made a T-shirt of Final Fantasy XIII to wear to the expo. Here's some pictures of it (front & back) ^_____^

I used these images on my shirt: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4

I'll post up my pictures from the Anime Expo on Sunday XD

P.S. (I made a new link button from FFXIII)

-----------------Edit-------------------

Now this is what I call Christmas in July!

I forgot to take pictures there. :[ I was too busy buying things. lollll.

Oh ya!! I also saw Hyde from Larc en Ciel!!! They didn't allow us to take pictures of him at the expo :( I really wanted to though. I never knew that he was THAT short. Seriously... Hyde looked like he was about 5'2? 5'3? Dunno. -.-

Here's Hyde XD

Btw, 6 MORE DAYS TILL MY B-DAY!!! :D yayy!~

WooHoo! New Layout! :)))) I actually made it last night but I was too lazy to put it up. lolll!!! Btw, I have added a new friend X) It'ss Andrew from AEProductions! Yayy! I'm sort of giving tips to him about blending layouts >.< Oh ya! I got into a little argument with my friend Elaine about which program is better [AdobeVSPSP9] O.o I just think that it really depends on whichever program you used first XD But oh well, we're going to have a contest I guess. lolll. Anways, my layout is from Final Fantasy XIII XD (It's not supposed to be out until 2008?!??) I'm already making layouts with it. The character's name is "Kyara" but, in english it's supposedly Chara. Who knows Comment on my new layout XD I know it's similar to my other one that I submitted to Blogrings.
