Just because we can't find another flying chibi anime couple doesn't mean that's our (and by our, I mean Ingow's) only option. The HP picture is cute, and if it's left in the project, it's fine with me, we just shouldn't use it just because it's the only way. It doesn't necessarily have to be changed. Just saying that if there's an anime couple that people decide work better with the overall theme of an anime yaoi project, then we should go with it.

Hell, if there are just little dancing hearts over the screen, it'd work.

It's all good replacing the DBZ persons name with mine or putting mine next to Aut's (she'll <3 that ^_^)
I don't want to make more work for you.

I ain't a big potter fan either, but DracoxHarry/HarryxSnape are pairings that are pretty damn popular in the yaoi fanscene, most of the stuff is anime-like drawn and there's thousands of pictures like that. I am just practically thinking about the lots of fangirls that're in showing rooms at cons.

That's my point actually too. Every other chibi picture basically has chibis standing or sitting or it has an animation quality that's way too high to make it fake animate. There are some running chibis maybe but they can't be animated cause that would also at least need 2 frames because they'd have to have feet movement. The broomstick however doesn't need any more frames than 1, as well as any other flying (as in superman-like flying) chibis would need, so if anyone in this project has a picture like that from an anime couple they can send it to me. But otherwise I'd leave the HP in (and I'm really just doing it because there seem to be people that want it to stay, remember my first post about this said I could remove it easily because it's not anime).

And you'd also have to give me a chibi yaoi/shonenai couple picture with a specific couple that's quite popular so that some people at least would recognize it and that hasn't yet been used anywhere in this thing. I can't provide anything like this.

It's Zabuza x Haku from Naruto, it's a little hard to see maybe but it's one of the oldest and most popular fanpictures of them that's been floating around ^^

That's nice of you, I guess I'll see how it works out with both of your names together and if the intro looks worse because of it I'm going to go with replacing you and mistic_vegeta ^^

Oh and Take I got your picture and it's going to work fine I think :3

//EDIT:
Intro v4:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GIY82ARH


changes:
-added sweetdeily and swapped the background pic
-added Takefuji's pic
-tried a new motion path for the potter bit and I think it turned out pretty well

also I quite like the new pace the entire intro got from removing mistic_vegeta's spot, it's a lot more relaxing now IMO

Oh and I just sorta noticed that savvy's ending segment is totally the opposite to the intro in terms of light/darkness, so I could really imagine that this contrast is going to work pretty damn nice in the finished project

AWWW! I vote that Harry and Draco stay. :D
I'd also like to ask who the pair behind my name are... they're definitely hot.
(If there were any Romeo x Juliet doujins out yet I'd try and hunt down a TybaltxRomeo pic, but I seriously doubt I'd find any.)

Haha, that's true. I think the contrast between ours also works very well :3

And I noticed 2 more things you may want to tighten up on the intro >_>
Andika's background image seems to pan a lot faster than everyone else's picture.
Also BunofGovt's background picture has two different speeds to it.
So, they're just minor little things I caught >_> (I honestly don't know that anyone else would even notice XD )

And one question...who is that lovely couple behind your name Ingow? :3 (they're the only ones I didn't know XD )

(and I personally like the HarryxDraco myself...it's just...too cute X3 )

Seifer x Squall from Final Fantasy 8 (hopefully I got that one right cause I'm not much of a FF fan really ;))

Wow, you got a good eye there. I wouldn't have thought anyone would be able to pick out those details but obviously it's possible so yeah I'll fix those things for the final (it's just a matter of seconds anyway :))

aw c'mon, you didn't recognize Sanji and Zoro from One Piece? ^.^

That was Sanji and Zoro? D: *watches again*
I think it's cause Zoro looks like he has brown hair (not his trademark green)...I also don't watch/read One Piece really, otherwise Sanji's eyebrows woulda been a dead giveaway XD *had to look it up DX*

Oh, U_queen, I am gonna be on vacation from the 8th to the 12th...so (I'm hoping to finish today) but if I don't finish by today, you will have the final by Monday D:

Hehe yeah, the brown hair is because of the blending mode. I had to decide between these two pics originally:

I decided that the first one had a better look to it but if it's really too hard to recognize them I might have to go with the second one instead :>

Haha, speaking of the blending, I was wondering if you could tell me how you created the stuff in the background o_o (the boxes/cubes in the BG remind me of a visualization from winamp...and then I guess a cloud-ish texture running over it in a blended mode)
It just looks so pretty, and I want to know how to make thing look like that :D

It's actually kinda simple cause I'm still a beginner at this ;>
The whole thing is divided into 3 layers.

The first layer is basically just AE's fractal noise filter, the shape form needs to be set to block for the same look as mine but experimenting gets you a lot of nice looks there. In the end I animated the "offset turbulence" feature of the filter as fast or as slow as I wanted via keyframes.

For the second layer I rendered some random basic clouds and tinted them red. Then I put a mask on them in the form of a very sketchy ugly star (a lot of spikes). I feathered the edges on the mask until it had the blurry state that I wanted it to have so that it would flow together with the background layer (the one with the fractal noise).

The third layer is basically just a round matte that gives you that black oval border. I added it to make everything look more in order/less chaotic.
