DCW's online 24/7

you're making me feel old lol it's a book DCW's who apparently isn't bored

is that a reference to 1984 DCW's post count obsessor

I also previously thought that Shinichi blended into the background a bit too much. It'll probably be a while until I finish a BO version, but I'll make sure to keep it in mind.

First, some things need to be cleared up before I begin: Ran would be fantastic as a real life friend. She's loyal, trusting, and friendly. However, we're talking about a fictional realm where a character's makeup can consist of endless possibilities--therefore, these characteristics of her's are easily overshadowed by the traits of other characters. Her's are uninteresting, insipid, and unoriginal. Heck, even Sonoko and Kazuha show more personality than her nowadays. Most people tend to forget that DC has been running for over 20 years now. Where's the character development? Why is Ran still sitting on the sidelines? Why does Ran seem more like a side character rather than a main character? Surely, 20 years is enough time to generate some character development, right? Apparently not, because her character has actually retrogressed. This is what she was like before: Ran's distinguishing trait as a headstrong character was traded in for the role of the damsel in distress, and that's my problem with her. Frankly, I don't know where Gosho is going with this because now I can only picture her as a housewife.

So I'm finally finished with the edits that you suggested! I also made a few extra edits, such as making Shinichi on the far left a bit more prominent. I got rid of his silhouette since moving it lower wasn't really much of an option. Here's a before/after comparison: Before: After: I'm planning to display another style I work with in the near future, so any suggestions are appreciated! If you would like to see anything else in the future (avatars, wallpapers, more banners, etc.) or even a certain theme (KaiKo themed, BO themed, etc.) feel free to insert them here. >> next art post >> << previous art post <<

Movie 4: it was realistic enough for me not to face-palm myself numb. I actually liked it a lot. Movie 6: I liked how they incorporated history into the movie. The sci-fi was also a nice change in pace since it took a different route from most movies. Movie 10: I was pleased with how prominent the mystery aspect of the movie was. I just didn't like the blandness of the hostage situation. Movie 13: it was one of the first movies I watched so it gave me an extremely good impression. Considering how many people seem to hate it, I'll have to rewatch it again to finally solidify my opinion of this movie. Could-have made the list but didn't: Movie 14: Kid's involvement was unnecessary (still enjoyed it to some extent), and the ending with the "biochemical" was anticlimactic. Movie 15: It was good up until the point where Conan snowboarded off a dam. Here, marks the starting point of Conan's over-usage of gadgetry!

The problem is that the stereotype originated from shoujo. My god, how much I hate shoujo. A: 7/10 interesting picture of Shinchi S: 7/10 omg, his facial expression

Sera is a tomboy, but you don't give the impression that you're boyish o:

nah, it seems more like an anime stereotype

your character reminds me of Sato not sure why may or may not be accurate probably isn't

I was never a fan of those huge, "shiny" shoujo eyes, lol

lolololol how did you come up with these? haha, what made you think that I'm Eri? I'd probably assign you to Sato. Does it make a difference whether or not someone's username is bolded?

Something about the art? lol

A: 7/10 I kinda like Haibara S: 7/10 his facial expression lol

Well, you do have a different signature now. A: 7/10 a bit plain S: 8/10 ShinRan iz kewl.

It does kinda go both ways. But it mainly depends on the context of the thread. Sometimes I will go out of my way to criticize some of my favorite characters if it contributes to the thread, because every character has flaws. Your username is an alcoholic drink, isn't it? lol DCW's hawk-eye

I'm curious though, what made you think I'm "DCW's Confusing Maybe-I-Like-DC-Maybe-I-Don't-er?" lol DCW's soon-to-be BO member

Based on your description, Super Training kinda reminds me of Pokeathlon from HGSS. Is that weird? haha. Still sounds super fun though! I always loved playing those side-games that they incorporate into the series. I'm not entirely positive on how they decide the Pokemon's typings, because I seriously can't get myself to see Gyarados as a flying type. Oh my gosh, and their movesets. Why can Explouds and Audinos learn Surf? I also had the same problem with my Magikarp that you have with your Floette. I was debating on whether to evolve it or not until HGSS came out--and I'm really glad that I didn't, lol. I think Megas were also created to bring back hype into the series. Pokemon has been repeating the same pattern for a long time, so the introduction of Megas was a nice change in pace. The new Fairy type threw me off guard though. I remember how much hate it got when it first came out even though it also shares a similar concept with Ghost and Dragon type. I'm still kinda glad they introduced it. I'll admit that Dragon type was too OP, but like you said before--Fairy type does seem like the new "God" type now. IGN rated G/S 10/10 but gave ORAS 7.8/10 why how what also... the new bicycle music for ORAS is freaking gorgeous I have no words that can describe how amazing it sounds especially with headphones. goodness, it almost brought me to tears

best. show. evar. You just seem more...hung up with stress, lol There are a lot of things I nitpick about DC, but I generally still enjoy the show quite a bit (childhood bias) DCW's science fanatic

lol huh? DCW's lighthearted

I don't think I made the references very subtle since most of you guys managed to figure them out. Butterfly Core and Revive are some of the more popular DC openings so I didn't think it'd be that big of a challenge either, lol

DCW's DC addict, haha.

The openings referenced in the banner are Butterfly Core and Revive, haha. The Shinichi on the very left is taken from Butterfly Core. The APTX capsule, hydrocarbons, and DNA molecule were referencing Revive. I also took into consideration some of these suggestions (thanks, btw!), so I'll be uploading another version of the banner soon enough.

It's Thanksgiving Break where I live, so I finally got the opportunity to finish some banner I was working on for a while: If there are any suggestions you would like to make (fonts, color scheme, arrangement, etc.), feel free to insert them here. This is only one type of style I enjoy working with, so I'll probably showcase some others later. I make a variety of stuff like banners (or signatures for DCW), avatars/icons, wallpapers, etc., so if you have anything you would like to see, ask away! Brownie points to whoever can guess the DC openings this banner was inspired by, haha. >> next art post >> << previous art post <<
