it was HYBRID RAINBOW for me. although before that.. I still LIKED FLCL.. just that that part where they play HYBRID RAINBOW is what made me love it.

In that case here are both modes for your perusal. http://www.japan-legend.com/testpage/index4.htm http://www.japan-legend.com/testpage/index5.htm i also prefer the clean version.

ok, I painted over parts of the front ink splotches. is this what you were referring to, or was it more than that? http://www.japan-legend.com/testpage/index4.htm ( you might have to refresh the page)

ok, I added a mask to reduce the amount of messy ink and i placed it within a page. http://www.japan-legend.com/testpage/index4.htm if you still prefer the clean version, I will prepare a page with the clean version for people to have a look at.

ok guys, what i have done now is that i printed it out faintly and used it to dreate outlines. I experimented a couple of diffrent techniques. i tried using a brush pen, I used a black marker, I tried using my ink and pen. I thik that the original intention when i started on this journey was a pretty erratic ink and pen style, something that loooked really energetic. so when i started using teh ink and pen, I forgot to siphon off the excess from the nib the first time i dipped it in hte ink. it made a big splodge on hte page!! I thought.. oh well nowe i made a mess, but i remembered my original intention so i bent down and blowed on hte page. now a couple minutes later and with a very light head from blowing so much... I had a interesting messy drawing ..!! so i have nhow scanned it in and addd it to hte design. I am unsure which is better. the clean version or this ultra messy version. here is the messy version anyhow.

I like the font we have been using. BBdude really made a good choice with that font. i decided to forget about that handwriting style... i just couldn't get it to look special. so i placed the decent font with the image design and played about with colour and texture. I am really liking what i came up with. it's just the edges that needs work. too perfect.

ha ha ha, thanks cannibal!! that's brilliant!! can we use that with hte release of volume 26 when it is scanlated?

ok well this is what i class as proper art. I do that stuff now and then. the way proper art works is that it comes from a special little place in my head that does the imagining of odd things and doesn't always fully explain to me what it is doing. it is the rare occasion when i don't think about it logically. so when looking at it and guessing what it is, I am as much in hte dark as you are! but the fact of the matter is, this design is heavily influenced by the subject matter of this site. when i look at it, I can imagine a number of things going on. the first thing i thought of was like yourself kenji-chan. the control metal. then after i looked at it more, i pictured it as a wheel leaving smoke and skid marks, reminding me of the wheel mecha thing from go-onger. then I imagined it as a kamen rider style logo on it's side. the two sections look like kamen rider faiz's eyes. also, it can look like a belt buckle in some ways. you could say it looks like a monsters eye.

that's interesting! do you like it? by the way, you are wrong. it is not a control metal. i am planning on making this more of an ink and brush style. i am not sure how i'll achieve it, perhaps by printing it out lightly and writing over it... I hope that when i have finished working with this it can be a new front page and the logo is pretty simple in nature so it can be incorporated throughout the site.

small amendment -

some results from a couple of days of inspiration settig in.

so what do ya think of this ? I did it aligned to a grid, so i had to unwarp the original text to fit a square grid and then i warped it again afterwards, here is teh blocked version.

wow, so there are 3 choices. well all of them are around teh same basic principle. I will look at all 3 and refine that.

i like your term 'controller units'. sounds interesting. although i think it's more general. boost unit? well your term sounds cool anyhow

ha ha ha that's pure genius!! that looks great though!! if the finished version looks similar to that, I would really look forward to working on it!

onlive - a good idea.. but entirely dependant on the reliability of the internet and all services involved. put it this way.. if a server goes down in japan or in italy or australia or canada, I can still play halflife 2 without any worries. if my phone line gets interrrupted for whatever reason, I can still play halflife 2. also there is the question of global bandwidth availability. I already heard news a couple of months ago that the internet is going to become too congested in hte future. that technology is not advancing fast enough. this will only add to that great strain. it's a great fundamental idea, but i think it has huge flaws.

I would agree with you if diends power was identical to decade. but do you remember something about diend being able to CREATE the riders instead of transforming into them? like doppelgangers or something.?

i'm really looking forward to faiz world. oh, what was up with that hibiki guy? he stayed around didn't he, that was the same guy at the table wasn't it? I think perhaps that guy becomes diend. or maybe...... maybe all this time while decade has been fighting these other riders, (not of the world he is currently in) perhaps he has been fighting diend all along?

i did some writing, different ways of writing the site title. I was thinking of doing a nice pen and ink style design for the site. try and make something that can be simple and striking. I might get a nice brush to use with my ink. not sure, I'll see what i can come up with. anyhow... which piece of writing is your favourite? you can pick different bits from differnt writings if you like. i can redo this as many times as is necessary and also i can cut and attach in photoshop. chances are, I could end up tracing around any of these shapes using the pen tool and make a really crisp black and white image.

thanks for posting that oen lordspleach, that was brilliant!!

that tactile hand illusion thing just didn't work at all. i didn't feel anytyhing strange whatsoever. when i touched my fingers, I knew exactly where they were, it didn't feel wierd at all. that hdr guide was interesting. i didn't know photoshop had a automatic HDR function, I had tried doing it manually in the past. i used the automatic function and this is what i got. i think it's pretty cool. I want to play with this more!
