I'm searching some online anime store that sell "hugging pillow", you know those kind of pillow: http://www.anime.me.uk/gallery/details.php?image_id=781 .

I've done some search on google and here, in minitokyo forum, I didn't found any... Do they exist outside of the japan ? or they are japan product only ?

If someone can tell me where I can found them, thank you in advance.

f

Thanks, you answers many of my questions or interrogations. but i got a few others

Quote by AceGunmanSometimes using ones brain really helps, since the mods can't go around writing personal letters to every member they have made a short list of possibilities.
Now as an example...
"Your wall was deleted by either one or more of there reasons
Reason A
Reason B
Reason C"

Now, all you have to do is to think "Hm, which one out of these options might be the reason for the delete?" You should be able to coem up with and answer, cmon it can't be that difficult can it now?

I almost sure why my wall was delete, but for some other people, it's maybe not that easy or it could be many reason, or the guy who got his wall delete cant figure out what he have do wrong. I did put screenshot in my comment..., but i only used it some part of the screenshot not the hole, are they allowed ? just to put some part of the screenshot ?

Quote by AceGunmanMany have stated this, but it is indeed very wrong. Almost all of my walls are unpopular here at MT, yet they haven't been deleted. Why? Because they still have some ofrm of quality, people which spent less than 2h on some of their walls have gotten 3x or more comments/favs etc on their works than on mine, when I most of the time spend at least 6h-10h on my work. So clearly (and obviously) it's not a matter of taste. No need to get to deep into this silly subject.

I just see a few of yours wallpapers and most of them are dark, black and heavy with many effect. I like more the few scan of girls you have with a light and brigth background and almost no effect or filter. and this doesnt change the fact that a mod can like a wall, and didnt delete it, after that another mod pass and delete it.

I still think that people who dont get they wall delete dont really advice for improving them, because they did "pass" the test. the people who need the most the advices are the one who get the wall deleted.

And for the learning, you still say learn by yourself, maybe you did learn by yourself but that not what every people can do and/or have the time to do. Maybe someone can just put a list of the good and useful tutorial for new people, like i said in my previous post, instead of a big topic with over 50 links in it.
I will check the site animeonline and see what they say.

I did posted a wall yesterday, well I did stated in the comment -I take a screenshot then cleaned it, used the lasso to extract the 3 girls and the guy, made bg, etc. - did the mod did just see screenshot in my comment and delete. If so, I better not event tell how I make it and just post it ?

Maybe, here in MT the capitalization is overtaking the site, people who are rich get event more rich and the poor will be poor forever. People like me who just started in MT, try to make wallpaper, but we cant use scan(cant dl them yet)/screenshot/other that are alike the new wall we want to make, I dont know where to find scan too, in good quality, and I dont have money to spend for importing a artbook from Japan, I dont event have a scanner at home. So we poor people are here with nothing, when people with good lvl(30 or more) they just found scan anywhere, make wall with any scan they can use, and then post they new wall/scan to get event more lvl from favorite and comments. And then the poor people who want to make a great wall from nothing dont get any help. You are only told of :

1)Extraction. The act of taking a character out of a scan to put in your wallpaper. poligonal lasso or pen tool + at least 500% zoom is your friend if well done, while magic wand generally makes for so-so walls
2) Cleaning. If the scan is grainy or contains other artifacts, cleaning the image is an important point
3) Layout. A decent composition is important. A thought out wallpapers is certainly more appealing and represent a higher level of quality/effort
4) Quality and effort in designing the background

this over and over I remember see it at least 15 times in this topic only.

I did read most of this topic(217posts) and most of the policy thing on submitting( yeah, I know I did lose 3 or 4 hours of my life. )

taste of quality is a personal opinion of someone, so If the mod who check them is in bad mood and/or dont like your kind of wallpaper, its going to be deleted for sure. did the movies award(or an smaller organisation like that) is based on only one guy ? I like the simples walls if its too heavy, I rarely like them because they are too much things in the wall for the resolution it have. When too the artist want to put as many effect/filter he can on a wall, a few is ok but 10 or 15 is too much.

Here some a suggestion that I found in the topic

Quote by rblackdeleting bad quality art is okay imo, but: quality != taste. so maybe one could change the system so that like 3 mods/reviewers have to rate a pic, and only if 2 or 3 of them deem it bad it really is deleted.
also, sometimes you want feedback even on bad pics, to know how to improve yourself, so maybe one could simply store a preview / low res version (to save space) so others cam at least leave a comment

I second this very good idea making the delete of a submit of at least 3 or 4 mods and the low res on the bad wall is also good it will help to people like me to improve they skills in making wall. Like the site is build, it is very easy to do, because delete submit are just 404 not found, they number are just dont used anymore, so instead just leave the miniature and the comment open and delete the big res picture that take more place.


Another thing, some facts that happened here in MT or questions:

1)
just a little while, this morning, I see the mod Keltosh(mod) post a scan of ichigo, then after(about 20 min after) a normal member post it(same scan) with better resolution(about 400 pixel more each side), but thats the normal member scans who was deleted..., this is not what is stated on the rules of MT. I didnt compare the quality, because I cant access scan yet.

2)
I did count the number of wall/scan/other that did pass/posted yesterday. 410 have been submit and around 70 have passed the quality test. less than 20% stay on MT. I know that maybe 50% dont have the quality and/or its the same of another one, but 20% is well just too low.

3)

Quote by NurikoI think if youre going to say youre leaving forever, go.


I found this in the topic, If the supermod say that, Im just curious about how many people still visit the site at least a month, with 57779 members, and with only 41000 gallery items, less than one submit per member.

4)
Will a mod will ever delete a wallpaper who was submit in the last 10/20 min of another mod ? (im not talking about old wall or scan), if not, its discrimination over the normal members and the mods.

5)
Is MT is here for the people/members or the mods and the admin ? the wallpaper that are submit are first checked by the mods if he dont like it --> delete, so no fan/people will ever see it (and have a useful discussions to help them in improving they skills).
For what MT exist, to show to fan/people good wallpaper and to help them to learn ?
Quotes of Minitokyo Policy
Minitokyo strives to be a free, open community where users can share their wallpapers and original art, collect feedback on their work and have useful discussions meant to help them improve their skills.
In participating in this community, by posting materials, you agree to this Policy. Violation of this agreement will lead to deletion of your posts and/or submissions, warnings, participation restrictions and ultimately banishment from Minitokyo. These actions are carried into effect by moderators, who have the right , but not the obligation, to enforce this agreement.

I did read carefully the policy and from what I did read, in the first part it state that users have too some rights( to learn, submit, and see others work), but in the second part, is MT is for the fun of the mods/admin ? We members have no right about the delete, if you want a feedback of a wallpaper you must be already good enough to pass the quality check. People learn faster when someone tell exactly what is not right, than only said -no Its not good go away !- Maybe we can make a topic of very good tutorial for each thing that are easily missed (extraction, cleaning, layout). I know there is already a topic with full sites filled with tutorial, its confusing for someone who want to start, and who dont know how I call that ? , what is this effect ? Im not a god of PS but, I can work with layer, mask, lasso, some filters, and some more, but when I come to a site tutorial, and I want to make water, wind, grass, star, or something else, the tutorial seem to be missing some parts, I never have the same results that they have or I cant apply it on another things that the example they give. I do have a life and friends and a work, and most of you too have those. So I cant try every tutorials on every tutorials sites. Maybe just put the more useful, the more completes and the more common method/filter/style for the guys who start with nothing.

Finally, I just like the site, but I post here not for complaining but Im trying to find a way to equilibrate the community of MT who is godly artist and the artist dont have the skill yet and who want to improve.

Sorry for my bad English, its not my mother language.

I download a average of 40-45 gb per month, could be more if those HDs aren't always full... I didn't put all the series that my friend lend me, but I do burn around 20 full DVD of anime each month...

f

I like more kawaii girls like Yunna(maburaho), Koishi Herikawa(Onegai), they can do anything for you and the main guy just keep ignoring them, so they start to be very attactive and jealous...

f

I never liked cars race or have interest in cars, but Initial D did catch my attention. Winning with the crappiest car ever and the driver who is like a "god" of driving. The story is pretty good too.

f

f

I know, official wallpaper, artbooks, and some other goodies(standup, poster, etc...) that the compagnie who made for anime are considered as scan on Minitokyo.

But, Is a screenshot that I took is considered as a scan ? or it's something else ?

f

I will say, Kaji from Iketeru Futari, and the 3 guys from green green

f
