Welcome

If you don't understand the title, don't worry =p You weren't meant to x) Only one person should really understand it =p As for the update, it's a bloody large 'un again!

But before I begin, I'm sad to announce that I've had to remove True Magic due to lack of updates. The two newest updates on Hondai's site are actually only there because I pressed her for them. As a consequence we have agreed to become link exchanges instead. This does mean that affiliation is open! Yay! =D So be sure to get your applications in early ^^

I've created 736, yes, seven-hundred and thiry-six new icon bases. I never want to see another picture of the cast of Final Fantasy X-2 again XD Seriously! I'm not sure which Final Fantasy game I'll begin on for next weeks update, so we'll see shortly =)

• 736 x Final Fantasy X2
  

That's not all though, I've even found the time to finish and upload the two brushes I promised you. I had created them a few weeks ago, but they just needed cleaning up and sorting out into brush sets... so here they are!

• Vector Brush Set 01
  
• Icon Text Brush Set 02
  

Now whilst these next two additions look extremely similar from their thumbnails, they're actually not =p Both were for a Sig of the Month competition at a forum I visit ( which unfortunately they lost T_T ) but I still really like them! Everything, except the characters and the birds, is available for download in my new vector brush pack. Meaning that yes, I did make them myself =p

• 2 x Kaoru x Hikaru banners
  

I'm not the only one who's been busy though. Our newest staff member, Emre, has created some lovely new icons for us! Emre and I have been very close friends for a long time now, and you can read information about him in the staff section ( though I will warn you now, it's minimal =p ). Currently he's an icon and icon base creator.

And that's it for this weeks graphical update! Next week I'm going to try and concentrate on more back-end coding issues with the site. For example, the icon bases on the last line of every page aren't aligned with the rest, even whilst the line is full. I will attempt to fix this. I'll try and get some new icon bases and patterns up, but I'm really going to just be cleaning up the coding side of the site =)

Edit: // We have a new affiliate! =D Wheeee!! Everyone please welcome Jayme of Captured Fragments ! =D It's quite funny, Jayme had declined my application for affiliation when divine designs first opened x) but yay! Now she accepted =D

First of all, I want to say an absolutely ginormous HELLO! to my secret number 1 fan who's too shy to reveal herself... so...

HELLO LAURA

Okay now that that's over and done with, why the bizarre title? Well that's simple =p Last week I promised you my writing portfolio site, and thus my writing portfolio site you will have! You can view it on the left navigation bar and it will open in a new window. Be warned that not all of the pages work yet, but I'm getting there =p Transcendence (my website portfolio site) and Illumination (my review site) are both not open yet, hence the strikethrough's through their names. Anyway, enjoy the new site and please, give you opinions on the layout ^^

As for the graphical update, it's obvious that it won't be as large as the last update (thank you by the way to everyone for their lovely comments <3) but nevertheless, you're getting quite a few new resources =p

First of all, a new texture pack has been uploaded! It features 20 small icon textures and 1 large. It's a light texture pack which actually started life as a rather cool photograph, and has since had very little modification XD So basically, the texture is a photograph =p Anyway~ be warned that the large texture within it is as large as the stock photography I have on offer here. So basically it's: 4272 x 2848.





I've also added some new icon bases! Now before I tell you how many, take into consideration that they're all from only the opening intro of Final Fantasy X2 (when Yuna is singing Real Emotion). With that said, I've added a massive 166 icon bases from only this opening video =p

• 166 x Final Fantasy X2

Not quite as many as last week, but I've been busy fixing up websites for other people =p That's not saying I've been lazy though! I'm also giving you a massive 25 new stock images =p They all feature my pets or scenery near my house x) I'm tempted to make some icon bases for these for next weeks update, as I'm sure the images are perhaps too large for everyone to load easily.

• 25 x Stock Images
  

And that's all for this update ^^ Next update should feature some new brushes (which were supposed to go into this update, but aren't quite ready yet), and some new banners =D Mr Devils is also going to work on some lovely new vector avatars for us too <3 Gotta love him! I know I do.

Last word: for anyone who loved Maple Story or Trixter (I know a few of my affiliates do =p) come play on Dragonica with me x) Be sure to get the European version though so we can play together =p Okay I'm done now =D

Edit: // Yay! I've made it through to the second round of Shinju's Fighting Graphics contest! ^^ Lookie at my loverly prize <3
