the angle can help make bigger waves them normally would, also, colors, shades, draws part with sparkles higher to give a wave on your water, makes it a bit foggy too, unless you want mirror water.

Wow! This looks super nice! Not a bad landscape, dude! ; D

Coooool!!! And Thank You! :D Your Painting Is Really Good!! It Kind Of Reminds Me Of China A Little. Really Pretty. :)

You can try making waves by distorting the reflection, as in making the reflected mountains wavy, and then add a soft highlight to the waves. Speaking of reflections, I just noticed the far.thest left mountain has no reflection. XP

I haven't been active on Colors either and have wanted to do things but not had the energy, but that's because I have not been feeling well for the past couple months. Also, my wifi is not reliable. In fact, I wrote this comment here yesterday, but the wifi cut out.

that's good ^w^

Sorry! I didn't point it out so you'd obsess over it. :P And I think I've heard of sensory deprivation, but am not sure what it is. I'm guessing it involves being deprived of one or more senses? (That's a guess based on the name. X3)

I'm claustrophobic (sp?) and the idea of being in a dark soundless environment scares me actually, so I don't know if it would be relaxing or not.

It seems like everyone's become busy and none of us upload or are even on here much anymore, but I guess we all have lives. Do you enjoy your job? I've been struggling with health issues for a while, but I finally feel like they're getting better and not worse, mostly. Ironically, the cats also haven't been feeling well...

re: yeah, i like the way u think about the deeper meanings, that's a good trait to have

and to answer ur questions, she adopted the cat whom she named Midna (name suggested by a friend yesterday) when it was 4 yrs old (or how ever long that is in cat years XD) and she taught her how to do a lot of things, Midna can do a little bit of black magic too and she's a really smart, elegant and friendly cat :3

re: also thx! ^w^

and have fun with ur job, i dont plan to getting a job until after school, because i feel it'd be too much responsibility to have one during school

Im ok now, but thank you for asking sweetheart :) -Raven

my friend is back :') im so happy... but also sad at thinkets news

This was a collab that was on hold for quite a while, but I would like to get back into collabs. Thanks to pictoswap, I can send pas.swords privately and not risk losing another account, which is what happened after my last collab with one that never got finished.

The word depressed actually has to do with the lack of something and not the presence of sadness, so you fit more the truer definition. In many cases, it's biological, like sleep interruptions, weather changes, nutritional issues, health, etc. But sometimes it can be improved by finding something passive that brings you joy, like music, a book, movie, etc, before you can get the motivation for active things (things that require you to do something, like draw vs. just staring at something). Some things are inspiring like issues that you feel passionate about can motivate change. Does any of this help?

Ah, how to explain my idea of spirituality... Ok, well I believe each individual is far more than this physical body. We have an existence outside spacetime, so there is a way to con.nect with more than emotions or intellect or anything that can be measured. If that con.nection is strong enough, you can share thoughts, sense them over distances, know if they're in trouble, etc. There are many cases of this being observed in people and animals. This is simplifying it, but does that make sense?

^yes :T (srry to jump into ur conversation)

re: XD

I feel like it's possible to a certain extent, like twins that can predict each other's actions and words and stuff so i thought maybe that's possible for other close relationships too and culd be where the term soul mate comes from :T

i think that what RR is trying to say in a nu.tshell is that true emotions pwns all :p but in all seriousness, i believe that ur fate brings u to the "right one" through determined spirits within ppl to help find the person u con.nect with
also im getting a bunch of games for christmas :D

I went through my music folders on here and 99 percent of the songs are all by different artists, so I narrowed down a few artist's names that appear more than once (usually only twice):

Amethystium, David Arkenstone, Bombay Dub Orchestra, Bond, Enigma, Enya, Jose Gonzales, Gustov Holst, Jars of Clay, Jekk, Snow Patrol.

I think that your earliest understanding of existence can often be the most revealing, because it has the least biases from this world. For example, when I was 3, I explained how I remembered in the womb (before I understood what a womb was) and before and that I has chosen this life for its specific lessons and unique opportunities (not in those words of course), but she told me that's not how it works, that my soul was created when I was born. All my life I've dreamed other people's lives, people with different personalities, looks and lives. I've had trouble reconsiling that with my beliefs and don't mention it to my parents or other Christians anymore. When my mom was growing up, she could read minds (mostly vague senses), but she prayed for it to go away because it scared her and she claims it did, that it was always evil, though if I feel something, she senses it no matter how far away she is. But a lot of mothers are like that, I think. :3

^that's deep man :o

that's how my friend is, she's constantly thinking about things, and it keeps her up at night

i get deep in thought too, but not so much where it keeps me up :D

No, I haven't played Minecraft, but I'd like to because it sounds like the whole constructing things part would appeal to me. I'd like it if they had it for the 3DS, because that's about all I could play it on.

I think there's a whole lot about the universe that most of us just can't perceive. I mean, we only see a tiny fraction of the light spectrum. It seems rather arogant to think that if it's beyond our abilities to measure, it must not exist, but humans tend to be arogant. :P
