I've posted this on a thread before, but I just want to remind people this because it really offends me.
I make my kao anis by scratch. That's why I bought a website to put them on (bought!). I think that when people see these guides, the automatically go "Oh, so that's how all of them are made." This irritates me. Though it isn't hard for me to make one, (I just draw a curved line, reflect it, copy the layer, change the hue, delete the top part, repeat, add hands, then color it, then copy and paste it into new images twice, then move them down and change the shadow), it is time consuming.
Just remember that not all of us make them like this.

Um,okay? But I was just showing them how I make them. Sorry if this offened you? I was just trying to be helpful,and show the people who don't know,how I make them...
