I think not believe it either means you are dead inside or you have had your heart stomped on a little too hard and are in denial.

Last minute thrown together look for a con a few days ago

No I appreciate the constructive criticism!
Compliments are great but it's good to know in what areas I need improvement.
 
The clutter is actually something I wanted for this photo though. I wanted the viewer to just look at everything and nothing in particular. It's what I felt when I first walked inside and so wanted to translate through the photo.
I've never warped an image's converging verticals to be straight so I might try that to see what it looks like.
What is dodging? I've used burning before to darken certain areas but have never heard of dodging. Also, what areas would you do that for (as well as for saturation)?
 
*edit
I've just started a new edit and the dodging and burning is making things loads better. I just usually mess around with adjustment layers (exposure, brightness/contrast, curves, etc.) because it's simple, but I might start taking the time to use these tools. 

I used to read quite a lot manga and watch even more anime, but I'm not as into it as before. Haven't read a manga in forever, but I still watch anime every now and then. Biggest change from before however is that I rarely watch anime's that got 50+ episodes anymore. If watching series I watch series with 50 eisodes or less, and which is already finished so I can binge them. Plus I watch more anime aimed towards older teens and adults, rather than your regular teen animes which I did before.
 
Would read more manga if it wasn't so god damn expensive though, and I am not willing to read it on my computer. Goes for comics in general.

Finally got the home theater set up in the new place, so video game time is finally a possibility again. Started up FFX-HD again, though I'm itching to start something new (although I have a hard time committing to playing stuff with my limited free time).

Almost done with My Love Story and Snow White with the Red Hair. My Love Story has been a wonderful thing to watch with my gf - not much of a plot but so rarely does anime actually have the plot of a serious be where the main characters are ACTUALLY IN A FUCKING RELATIONSHIP. It's just plain fun to watch and one of the cutest shows I've seen (with a genuine cuteness, not moe-blob bullshit). Suna is best dude.
 
Snow White with the Red Hair started off with an alright first episode, dropped off by the second, but man has it done a great job of building back up. The political aspects of the show feel a bit too soft (cause man, if this were real, the social implications of this show would be sooo much stronger), but it is still really solid.
 
I feel like these two shows have been doing relationship in anime the way that they -should- be done. Not just a cute girl with a cardboard dude, but giving the characters personalities, wonderful and believable interactions, and growth. Not to say that either of these shows are perfect, they both still lack a degree of depth, but man they feel refreshing compared to your average anime romance shlock.

Pick of the old place, but I wanted to get a shot of it before I moved (and I am now sharing a room with my gf)

Interesting to see a song named lament included.
I wonder if it's a new version of ラメント from their first material.
