My first couple of days in the forest.

I met a bunch of new friends and got to play around with the antlers and coat colors. I only wish they would stay. I can't wait until I grow up!

My first antler alterations ^_^ I love the big ones, and the candles.

Perhaps some new friends?

Some new friends and I played around with the masks then did some line dancing ^_^ It was fun trying out all the new faces and their voices!

I came across these guys while I was wondering the water's edge. With some more line-dancing and spinning in place! Yay!

MSN wouldnt freaking send anything so i had to sign out. its done this before, i have to give it like... a WEEK before it magically starts running properly again DX

well see what happens later tonight or tomorrow :C

For any image, for example, on photobucket,
is there a way to make images more, erm, transparent against the background? Like fade-ish?

Or maybe to make the image's periment kind of seep into the background.... XD Idk.

.....any help? x3 I've tries the erase tool... but it just makes those areas appear white >__>;;

Help would be much appreciated, actually x3

EDIT: K, here's an example. With this image, I want those white parts to be the background color.... transparent... I did the eraser tool, but it didn't work ;_;

EDITEDIT: another example c:

Name
Her full name is Emiva Sky, which is a name I recieved in a dream, or my native name. But for short and simple, we all just call her Emiva.
You can call her whatever you wish! 'Miva' is nice, but for nicknames more people seem to like 'Emmy'.

Gender
Even though this game is intended for stags only, Emiva is a doe, thank you very much. (: This is shown by her stubby little antlers, which symbolize doe antlers.

Pictogram
When I look at it, I dont really see anything, I just see Emiva's symbol. (: But when asking my family members and friends, I've heard it being a cake, a person bending over, a guy with a moustache. (I try to encourage people NOT to think of the moustache idea, it kind of bothers me)


Age
I try not to put an age on Emiva, but I guess I would say she is about 16, or maybe 17. She acts more like she's twelve, though. X3

Eye color
Originally, Emiva's eye color was meant to be brown. But after a while I started to think brown with a small tint of purple in it was nice too. But like whys, take your pick.

Set
She has always been The Gazelle Doe, with a gazelle pelt, a real-deer mask, and stubby doe antlers. In artwork, I'd much rather portray her without any antlers at all, like a normal doe. And I try leaving out the mask as well, replacing it with a normal deer head.

Friends

So, life is still weird and stressy, but I have DSL now, so like, yay and stuff. o.o;

TEF runs about the same on DSL as on dialup. Go figure. I think it takes a good graphics card more than a fast internet connection.

Don't expect me around a lot still though. x.x I still feel like I have no time and all that. Been frantic for the last several months, and still don't know why. Between gettig sick a ton this year and trying to help my boyfriend through some stuff, it's been utter madness.

((below pic: can you see why i chose to change taint's personality from happy to what it is after i chose her set on her doe day?))

I don't take many screenies nowadays, meep. And I don't like most of the ones I take, lol.

My forest is quiet, the lift of the birds taking them far away from these lands to those far to the south. Very little magic exists in my realm, my only will being to avoid those who I see, yet pray they come. What is it that pulls me to them so? Has my heart been so heavy and so void of anything but the empty echoes of its own voice that it longs for something to reply back? I do not want them, but I do, and it is a pull that leaves me alone. It is a wonder that I ever leave the darkness, for it welcomes me like an old friend. It gives me a home and lets me sleep without a disturbance.

Yet it holds me back, for I never want to leave it.

With the gift of the gods’ ivory twisted upon my face I see only sadness and pain. No matter what mask it is, I feel misery and sadness, but this mask turns it into something. It forces it all into an outlet, it bares its teeth to all. It judges no one…save for the single greatest evil this forest has ever faced, the fawn. Little blittering, mooing spotted abominations! They are like a plague. They are immune to intelligence. No amount of hissing or barely missing them with a hoof gets the point across. I could wear their skulls upon my antlers, and all they would do was leap upon me like flames in a forest fire and try to reach the top. I am NOT a plaything.

Even worse, they congregate. They are like little stupid amoebas that can change pretty colors when an adult deer tries its best to drive the evil away with magic. Oh, good, you made it purple! The color of disease! That alone is proof that they must be driven from the forest. I have already been scouring for sacrificial deer for them to follow and cling to…and the only deer worthy of hurling off a cliff is them.

Is it sad I want to kill the only thing in the forest that gives me the time of day?
