New Layout

//Posted by Hikari on June 18th 2008 -

Ah I kept my promise to update the site soon after my last update and with a new layout! The layout features Katekyo Hitman Reborn. For those who have either read the manga or watched the anime, you notice that Lambo isn't in the layout. >< He was too short and didn't fit in the layout. xD It was originally going to have just the guardians in here, but if you also notice I have Lal Mirch in here as well. ^^;

It's finally summer break for me, well it has been for six days now and all I have been doing is working on the computer. Since my art teacher is going to write a note for me to go in straight to AP 2D Art I will have to work harder. I need to because in order to get into that class you have to take one other art class (Special Studies) first and there you have to finish 12 art pieces. AP 2D Art class you need 24 by hte end of the year and the students that took special studies gets to transfer their art pieces from that class to this class which means they only need to do 12 more that year. I currently have 6/24 done. o.o

I also have to take computer class this summer because it is required for me to pass high school. I'm going to learn how to use a computer, I've always wanted to learn how to type! :D It's going to be a long summer, 5 hours a day of just computers. ><

So now on to the real updates...

Designs:: I added 3 new designs: 1 table, 1 divider, and 1 frame. Other then the table layout, I really wanted to scan in some pages from the Comickers Art I recently bought. The art was really pretty so I really had to create designs out of two of them.

Avatars:: I added 30 avatars. I must have went crazy screen capping lately. Again a lot of avatars in one batch. I'm also going to help Cloud9247 screen cap some anime series for his gallery. :D I wanted to thank him for helping me with the avatar database.

Oh I want to thank Charlotte and Rogelio for being Kodoku Design's new sponsor. They will be hosting our Transparent PNGs and my artwork (which reminds me I have to work on Random-hue.org). xD

I'm Still Alive

Wow it's been many months since I last updated! I'm so sorry, I've been busy with school (Excuses, I know). Well School is about to be over in 9 more school days, but before that I have to take my finals.
Another reason I haven't updated is because, I've been watching anime non-stop lately (hah!) all those spring anime I just had to watch and I couldn't stop. Also I've been working on creating artwork for my art class next year because I'm behind.
Other then that I had to work to create another site for my Communication Design Class, so I bought another domain. At the current moment it's just my art portfolio (that I haven't updated in a few months as well). I plan to have hosting/sponsoring in the near future, maybe. The new site is Random Hue there's not much in there right now and most of the artwork are really old.
This should be the last excuse. I put off updating the site because I was working making it the avatar pages using MySQL. I'm not very good with it so I had a lot of trouble, luckily I got a lot of help! Cloud9247 of HayalKarga pretty much just coded the whole thing for me and walked me through it. I'm very grateful to him!! Plugging time!!!!!

Also the lovely Megori accepted my request to sponsor my designs for the site! Thank you very much!
Now to the new additions to the site.
Avatars:: I added a 42 avatars!! I can't believe I went and did so much. xD Ah should I even list all the series I did? Sure, why not they're mostly from the same series anyways. SO...the avatars I created were from the following series/artists/games/: An Cafe , Lamento: Beyond the Void, Boys Next Door, Alichino, Saihate no Kimi e, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Persona Trinity Soul, Special A, Vampire Knight, Junjou Romantica, and Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Most of these are just made by my screen caps while I was watching anime. Personally I didn't like Vampire Knihgt as much as the manga, but I continue to watch it because it's my favorite manga. Persona Trinity Soul is a pretty good anime, I started to watch it because I'm in love with the Persona games, especially Persona 3! (Yeah I bought it when the original came out then bought the FES version when that came out!! AND soon there will be a Persona 4, am I excited?! I think so! :D) Oh yes, Junjou Romantica is such a cute series!! My favorite couple is definitely HikorixNowaki, Junjou Egoist which is why most of the avatars from the series is of them, sorry! I like the anime, but I personally prefer the manga, it makes me blush on every page! Ah Katekyo Hitman Reborn is my current obsession, I'm constantly waiting for the next episode to come out! I wish I made mroe avatars for that series though, but I WILL in the next update. ;D
Designs:: Sorry I must have spent all my time making the avatars because I only made one Table Design and I made this back in March. Anyways...the color scheme is my personally one of my most favorite color schemes. (haha)
Transparent PNGs I added 5 PNGs, they're fairly large sizes, some people like that and some don't. xD
I also plan to work on a new site layout, I'm getting sick of looking at this one. I plan to have the next one up soon, I promise to update soon. I'll try not to make it be in a few months from now, again I'm so sorry about that long wait! Also thank you to the people who commented on the last update about this layout, I was really embarrassed to actually make a whole layout of one of my artwork since my art improves from time to time and currently my art has surpassed this piece of art you see on the layout so looking at it just makes me feel uncomfortable, but I'm happy to hear you all liked it!
