GOING BACK TO HISTORY: SEPHINE'S THEOTAKU EXPERIENCE
I have joined theOtaku on February 13, 2010 with the the goal of having a site where I can upload my stupid looking wallpapers made from combining the powers of MS PAINT and MS WORD 2007 (they were made since 2009 and were just dumped in my PC back then). Though I've been lazy so I just submitted two wallpapers: kaede minami and female ranma.
I've been inactive for a few weeks then school was over, I spent my time surfing the net and I've logged in here again then uploaded three most favorite old works:
My work, TheTwoRanmas, caught the attention of kisskiss-bangbang and he gave a slight lengthy feedback on it. I responded that it was made from Paint and Word saying I don't know how to use Photoshop. He then said I had potential and I used my vacation to learn Photoshop all by myself. Until then, I found many amazing artists and met a lot of friends.
sakura memories was my first wallpaper shot in Photoshop. The success of it made me take walling very seriously. Universal Rocker was my first "Featured Fandom", it was featured on August 15, 2010. Another achievement of mine was your doll since it also became a Featured Fandom on October 1, 2010. Also it was positively received by the people in AnimePaper and Minitokyo. Finally, my latest LIGHTS GO ON AGAIN (my recent wall) is the fulfillment of my one year walling trials-and-errors. It was given a positive appreciation by the people from AP and it was included in the Elite Wallpaper gallery in MT.
I don't only do wallpapers, I have a talent for drawing too. Although I don't upload my drawings (since I'm too lazy to turn on the scanner). So far, my art of music is the best drawing I made (take a look to know why!). I also put my walling techniques on my eCards. Until now, I'm still on the experimenting process! ;)
