Description Edit. Removed 1 frame from the animation, because it was not supposed to be there in the first place I repeated 1 frame twice by mistake


Important: This is an APNG animation and it doesn’t display properly with some browsers such as Google Chrome, Safari and Explorer (mine at least), so if you don’t see the stars sparkle, then you need to install Mozilla Firefox available here [link] .






I have wanted to make a stamp for you for quite a while, and decided to do one for your Birthday! Feel free to use it to show your love and support for the amazing...BlackwingRose !

I really hope you like it, Rosie!



As the base idea, I decided to play with the words and personal perspective and impressions.

I used the red rose to symbolise your name. I chose the colour red for brightness, love and passion that you bring in the lives of those around you.

The half-transparent, but nonetheless, black wings stand for the other part of your username.

Then, there is the wonderful blue cosmos and stars in the background. They symbolise the origin of the aliens in your infamous FanFiction, Deux Claret, which we fans have come to love soooooooooo much (I personally adore it so, I do not recognise Michael’s Bay official TF2 and coming TF 3 as the Transformers 2007 continuity. Deux Claret is my TF continuity Also, Starscream x Alexis FOREVA! ), and of those in your upcoming book, Aurora. (Can’t wait to read )

Also, it symbolises to me a part of your Universe and the special place where those soft black wings on the wind of Inspiration take you beyond the stars... This is why the wings ‘touch’ the cosmos and the stars and are one with it, as well as the rose.

The heart is the support... to you! A sign of the adoration

All in all, it is an honor being your friend and fan Thank you for ennobling our lives, and enriching our Universes with yours... Without yours, mine would have been forever empty...Yours set mine alight....


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROSE!




Made with Corel PhotoPaint x 4 and APNG Anime Maker (Probably one of the only decent APNG creators on the Web)

Time taken: Forever...or 2 days in my case

This is a beautiful stamp but it has one problem: every stamp is always a thumbnail if someone with Premium Membership wants to use this stamp at the stamp collection or at the journal this stamp will be much smaller and the animation does not work (the animation works at the big version of this stamp). Because of this thumbnail thing most of the stamps are 56 x 99 pixels because those will not shrink and the animation is usually .gif because it works with all browsers (.gif also works if the big animated stamp is in a thumbnail version).

I understand that this stamp is a present for one artist of the deviantART but if you will make more beautiful stamps I hope that you will check if the stamp will work also when it is a thumbnail.

Oh, Marina . . . I literally cried when I was this, I was so touched and honoured . . . ;-; I've never had a stamp made for me before and this is just absolutely beautiful. I love the combination of colours - the red of the rose really stands out against the blue. Roses are such gorgeous flowers; they've always been my favourites. And I love the black wing, too! It's been my username for so long now I kind of forget sometimes what the symbology is, but you've truly brought it to life with this stamp. I feel thoroughly proud of my username if it can give rise to this kind of beautiful work.

The animation is beautiful, really delicate and pretty. I love the font, too! Does it have a name?

As always thank you so, so much for all your support for my writing - I really couldn't have done it without you (nor written certain parts of The Day We Hailed the Heavens without your enthusiasm). I'm so pleased you think of DC as the "official" sequel to the Bay movies! And goodness, I really hope you enjoy Aurora when it finally gets published . . . I couldn't have written it without wonderful friends and artists like you. :3

Thank you so, so much again - this truly made my birthday special, and you're an absolutely amazing friend! *tight hug*

Wow.

I must say... WOW.

That is absolutely beautiful....

Sami will definitely love it, I guarantee you; I absolutely adore the stars shining like that, it's very creative to do, and it fits all that is wonderful about Samisamsam :3

The pictures you chose are definitely a perfect fit, and mix very well together when put into the right places! I personally enjoy the cosmos as well, as it does remind me of Aurora and Deux Claret, which by the way, I also agree with being a continuity of Transformers; it definitely deserves to be recognized as a original plot. While she doesn't write for it now that her own original fiction receives her undivided attention, I still go back to read it for nostalgia of the days when TF was epically awesome - and still is ♥

And I, also, cannot wait for Aurora; because we all know it will be absolutely fantastic and extremely epic in it's own right. I await the day she gets published, because it will be SOON D:<

I hope you update any time soon, as I enjoy your art and miss your updates, but aren't we all busy nowadays? xD

I hope you are doing well, and continue doing fantastic work, hon'!

♥♥♥

So pretty! I hope Blackwing Rose likes it!! But i'm sure she will- it's gorgeous! Side note: Michael Bay sucks. As does Tranformers: Revenge of the Fallen. As will Transformers: the Dark of the Moon. Bad enough Megan Fox couldn't act but he's swapped her out for a lingerie model and cast Patrick Dempsey. I wanna know how these two are gonna help Sam and Optimus save Earth from the Decepticons. And Starscream is awesome. However, if ever there was a surprise favourite character of mine, it'd have to be Captain Lennox. That guy kicks ass.

Thanks you! She did How could she not lol?!?!?! Just kidding XD Nah, I was really hoping she would like it and she did Oooooooooooh, if he sucks for you then he sucks same for me only with the power of 1000. After DOTM it increased to 1 ml AGreed. Too bad they killed Screamer off XP Not good. The future movie/s will not hold even remote interest for me anymore. :/ Oh, and Lennox does not get old at all in his role

THEY KILLED OFF STARSCREAM!?!?! *hasn't seen DOTM yet* ... probably a good thing I haven't, I guess... I'm just glad that Michael Bay and Shia LaBeouf are done with that series now... I didn't mind the first movie. It was a fun action movie but ROTF was just a terrible mishmash of crap. Loved seeing my beloved Transformers come to life in wildly amazing computer graphics and like I said, donno why, but I liked Lennox's character- great casting and great supporting role that is mildly important but doesn't get in the way of the 'bots ^^

YEP. WAS. MURDERED. IN. MOST. DESPICABLE. MANNER. EVUR. And I think they murdered Barricade as well. Couldn't be too sure XP It was all too confusing...But this was a double knife to the heart since they both are my favourate Decepticons. Star's first, Cadie good second Hope someone will direct the film franchise from now on...I am tired of Sam's, like my good friend Rose said, borderline maniac stalking First Megan, now this...*Shudders*. XD It would have been a better idea if every new movie were standalone. Then, it wouldn't get dull so soon...

I ctually wouldn't mind making a Transformers flick someday. And I definitely like your idea of a standalone movie as opposed to series. If the firt Michael Bay flick coulda been left alone then that woulda been fine but nooooooooooooo... >.<+ And yeah, I didn't like constant Sam. I think it would be neat to see different people dealing with the Autobots/Decepticon conflict in their own ways. And, lets face it, there would be people who'd support the Decepticons as much as the Autobots.

Are you kidding? Sequel after sequel gets plain stale. I was bored in a way by DOTM. It was probably the first time I was unconcerned for skulls (yep, you heard me well) flying in every direction, when a non-Transformers movie many years back with similar stuff has plain traumatized me for life Maybe, thus ignoring ratings on movies since I was 8 was a rather bad idea since the beginning. Gosh, an adult *cough* entertainment movie traumatized me less at the time, because I plan had no idea what I was watching (thus not at all )

And with a stand-alone movie you could catch the interest again and again! There are so many possibilities to cover! I think a good example is the current Planet of the Apes apart from the first movie way back in 2000s...Now this was refreshenning, although I was dragged to the movie because of the circumstances XD Though, I smell a sequel after it now too

Ooooooooooooh, totally! There are just so many possibilities to explore and Bay barely even touched upon them! I liked the idea of that small Decepticon in 2nd movie who chose sides, but the leg humping was a bad idea And think about a cool Decepticon villain and see how they can switch sides, what, why, how, etc. And of course, they owe us a decent Starscream/Alexis movie in Deux Claret. That is a must. Or else

Sometimes, I wonder where the Transformers franchise is headed these days...

The worst thing about ROTF was that Bay filme it without a solid script. It was during the writer's strike a few years back and he had this shitpile of a script that wasn't even finished and he filmed it anyway and just filled in the blanks as he went along with no sort of guide or idea of what he wanted to accomplish with the movie. I can't really comment on DOTM because I never saw it. LOL the ratings system is messed up anyway

Yeah! I heard the new Apes movie was actually really good! They probably will make a sequel with it but it is one of those series that does have a lot of material to explore and cover. I'm glad you liked it though despite getting dragged to see it haha!

There were so many moments in the Bay flicks though that were like, "Oh that'd be cool if they looked into that!" and then nothing happened with it. Instead we had to endure robotic leg humping, a cranky fighter jet "senior" Transformer (who I thought they definitely explore as a character as well as they could have), not to mention the rusted mechanical balls during that fight on the pyramid and the little bots dodging them. Not funny, just weird and distasteful towards the audience.

lol Agree here about the script...It was something lol And some bits were really a bit old and over-used.

Well, the Apes were good as a movie, only the theme bothered me too much (I am not usually into those types of movies), especially I find it extremely cliche that a businessman was a stereotypical wealth-bothered idiot in the end. That is the only critique I have for that movie, but it held the attention expertly throughout the movie. Those stereotypes are just getting under my skin. :\ Can't the show a business person in a good light sometime? lol But I guess they will continue exploring the next sequel, though I definitely know what it is all about: ACHOO, Hello and Welcome Virus, No Cure, Here Comes Caesar in Play Again, Colflict and On, and On, and On. XD lol oh and ACHOO!

From the sonds of it, Apes has a similar theme to Splice, which was a Canadian made horror movie from a few years ago. Don't get me wrong, themovie was actually pretty good especially considering it was a horror movie. But it had the same problem of stereotypical characters. Most of them were corporate businessmen and scientists, and they were all cast as the characters with questionable morals.
