Teehee...we had V-day challenge going on a while ago...and I certainly hope you guys are still up to adding to my cheesy kid Valentine collection! Since we are now in February, I thought I'd start a Valentine thread, so we can add in anything for the upcoming day of "love"...whether it's sappy, Gatchy, or smutty!

Not this time! And FTR, I've never done a Valentine's fic! Right now I'm in the middle of writing part 3 of a LONG trilogy, and now we just signed with a realtor last night to list our house. Since the economy is bad, selling will be hard, and we're going to be putting a ton of time into getting things ready. I'm going to be severely limiting my writing time over the next couple of months. Crying4 But I'll still be doing bits and pieces and keeping it going in my brain!

I might set aside fic-writing for a few days to switch to drawing -getting the pencil drawing done is a slow process for me. Once I get it into Photoshop, things proceed faster. Whenever I see Springie's drawing, I find myself especially admiring the Swan's headpiece -elegant and so very "Princess" (this must be a BOTP pic!), and I'm not such a big fan of veils. You make her look so beautiful!

Dear Springie Fabulous artworks, Springie!You truly capture the spirit of a swoony Valentine, Luvu1 Dear LB Love the photoshopped pictures, LB!Especially the first pic, Bounce2 , has Katse been wishing to get a Valentine chocolate from the Eagle? Grin I have made some simple animations for Valentine's day, and yes, Galactor celebrates Valentine's day too, Grin And this is just a simple pic of Ken&Jun I made by adding my most favorite romantic poem "Because she would ask me why I loved her" by the Australian poet, Christopher Brennan. It will not be a wonderful Valentine's day for me, not with my current ordeals, nevertheless, still hoping for the best. Wishing everyone in this board a wonderful Valentine's day celebration with your loved ones. Animeluv

Dear Spingie, Sorry to tell you that due to my lack of organising skills, Smile , I don't really put the episode no. on my screenshots. I just happened to stumble upon them when I was going through my screenshots folder and thought that the two pics (from two different episodes, BTW, because the date of the screenshots are different) would make a nice morphing image. Will definitely tell you once I figure out the exact episode for the pics. And oh yes, I love your new Swan pic. I wish I had a talent in drawing like you do, Smile

Why don't you have a look at a freeware called photobie. It has quite an extensive image editing capabilities, screen capture, scrapbooking, and even a GIF animation features. If you are not sure about anything, there are always lots of tutorials in the official website. Judging from your fantastic photoshopped images, I am sure we all here will have lots of fun looking at your animations one day, Grin!
