@Yoru: well, I like dark wallies because sometimes I need to relax my eyes. Plus
I find too bright wallpapers very annoying (with few exceptions). Let's not
forget it's easier to make a brighter wallpaper (I'm talking about the
trend-whore ones with girls at the beach and the likes), whereas making a good dark wallpaper requires some patience and
skill.
Welcome to the new member, hope you enjoy your stay!
@ Dev: I wish someone would do that! That
would make a great desktop wallpaper.
@YoruAngel866: I think I like Dark Wallpapers for mainly two reasons: I get
really bad headaches from bright screens, so it's natural for me to go for
darker colored wallpapers. I also like "dark" wallpapers in the sense
that I like "scary" wallpapers, not so much because I put them on my
desktop, but I have this weird fascination with creepy things. I wonder why
others here like dark wallpapers...
welcome back you two
i think contest will be great
thanx, im glad my group is active!
oh thank you for noticing it pande-chan! ill correct it....finished and added
new affiliate "vote" group
anyway i would like to ask a question here for all who are here:
Why do you like dark wallpapers?
My answer: i like them cause i like dark colors and i am that kind of a person
too.....
oh and we have new member
onestepclosertonumb
welcome!
our group is growing i say
i will now add wallpapers from onestepclosertonumb....
Wow, I haven't been here in AGES! Feels good to be back :3 Even though this
group has only 31 members, I think it's the one of the most active groups on
MT!
A new contest? A Halloween one is a great idea, I'll be looking forward to scary
walls Though my style would be more subtle, not plain slap-in-the-face
scary... And I agree with Dev, blood shouldn't be compulsory. The last contest
was hard enough for me on the blood part, so I don't think I can do it again
September sounds great, wallers will have plenty of time (1 whole
month) and they won't get bored either
Nice wallies, everyone! Really good ones!

Oh, and I just noticed something. The URL's for the groups on the third row in
the 'Affiliates' section are messed up Just thought I'd signal it.
hi christy! (can i call you christy? X3) Hi everyone!
My brother is still ill and everything. I'm stuck in the hospital..
still.
But I found a pc, yay! And I can spend a bit of time on the net. :3 Just wanted
to say "hi!" And "I exist!" And "I;m not dead.."
And "I made wallies for the club!" :3 Just because I don't have the
net doesn't mean I can't make things to support in the mean time. That way, when
I can, I'll have something to contribute. :3 *is working hard*
Oh god, I just had an idea. Cybercookies for whoever does it first.
THE TASK/MINI-CONTEST:
Find an scan of a skinny kid in a bathing suit. Vector it. Next, find a Darth
Vader pic that would fit the pose (angle of helmet being the key). Vector that
helmet onto the kid's body. Now, add some other Star Wars elements into the
scene (such as a Death Star volly ball, lightsabers, etc.), and ya got yourself
some win! I'd call dibs on it, but I'm much too busy with more pressing
matters.
REWARD: I'll.... uhhh.... make ya something.... if anyone even wants that
reward... >.>
BETTER yet, you just get to feel proud in creating something so awesome.
P=
Wow, I missed a lot I love
the Halloween idea! I've been working on a Spooky wallpaper that was meant for
Halloween last year that I still haven't finished I think Dev has a point about the cutesy Halloween wallpapers... They're
nice, but it would be cool if more people would go freaky with their walls in
October.
On another note- Maybe it's just me, but I'd be freaked out if I saw a Sith Lord
at the beach o_o
I don't see why blood couldn't count. But unlike our last contest, blood doesn't
have to be included in the wallie. Afterall, things don't have to be bloodie to
be scary. Also, I don't know how clear I was, but I don't just mean something
spooky like a ghost. When I meant spooky, I really meant horror. Like something
that'll probably scare the living daylights out of someone.
Yeah, start it in the begining of September. That's be more than enough
time.
I was talking to Ori-chan about a contest a while ago, and she made a good
point. Give people too much time, and they are likely to forget or become bored
with the theme. I think that's happened to Celestial-Luminesse's contest. I
haven't seen any entries. But that could be because some people just start
Summer break so they haven't done enough to make a wallpaper.
I agree with Dev...I started making a spooky wall just now...it will be perfect
for Halloween mood
But I still it's too early for a contest like that...it's July...so maybe some
kind of Summer wall would suit better...But I don't know what since we're a
"Dark" walls group,and sunbathing and beach is not our style...
we're all Sith lords lol
I'm thinking we should have a contest that ends on Halloween. We are
Dark-Wallies after all. The question is when would we start it?
For a theme, I'm thinking it should be this: Create the Spookiest Wallpaper
Imaginable.
And I mean spooky, people! Last Halloween I was dissapointed with how little
spooky stuff their was. It was just a bunch of cute girls in Halloween
costumes.
So, our goal would be to give everyone nightmares! >:0
I think it'd be a nice alternative to the usual stuff. :3
god it seems i missed so much! so sorry guys! ive been dead for a while, i mean
i m not feeling well
i agree with you guys, but im whole-scan-vectorer after all. and i like to do
that, also i agree with popularity thingie...
and what contest?
do you want another contest already? if you want, speak your ideas
I don't think it's a crime to vector something, straight, I just think people
have lost touch with why it became so big in the first place. Like Pande said,
it was great for fixing low quality scans (or ones covered in text) and just
upping overall quality. It also made it a great way to implement textures and
such. But it seems like people are using it more so at times like a ticket to
popularity I know this isn't true in every case, but it would be nice to see
more variety, like altering the vectors in some way if the scan they used was
already excellent quality. It promotes a phrase we were always told at my school
called "thinking outside the box", as in exercising creativity instead
of writing (or in this case vectoring) like a machine. But I guess it might be
my personal taste more than anything.
I just want to see vectors in different styles. If you take a look at my
gallery, for example, I don't have many "normal" vectors (talking
about that ones that have just been traced over and colored to look exactly like the scan). I hate to say that I'm
working on one now, but it's for Aniwood and I was desperate.

My Latest Vector-Wall:
~Sleeping beauty~
I'm not quite sure this wall is dark enough for the group but still I wanted to share it with you guys^^
My Latest DARK-WALLIE:
Night of vampires
by the way we have new member Lady89
ok then september....hehe....does blood counts?
i mean on spooky wall?
i added lady89's works to gallery
Yeah, start it in the begining of September. That's be more than enough time.

I think September is better...two months are enough time to make an awesome wall...
maybe from august?
YAY! Yoru has given me praise! ^_________^
Okay, so now we need to figure out when we'll be starting the contest....
WOW I LIKE HALLOWEEN IDEA!
excellent job dev!
oh and yes we need a break, especially me...
we are all sith lords!
Exactly! Who ever heard of a Sith Lord going to the beach to play beach games!? It's unnatural!
Plus, I think it's too soon for another contest. Some people need a break to work on things they want to do that aren't related to contests.
I started on a spooky wallpaper a while ago, but I've put it on hold until Halloween. It's the main reason why i thought of this contest. :B
I agree with Dev...I started making a spooky wall just now...it will be perfect for Halloween mood

I made a dark wallie. It's emoish though, like me.

~Pande~:Thank you
You're a great artist as well 
~Dev~:Yeah,I like vectors in different styles...but I'm not good at making one like that
