- Updated: Site Design
- Added: Wallpaper Navigation Menu
Today is the 20th but I have no internet access so it will be later when this gets posted but we've got a new
site design, first of all. Not a total overhaul but new graphics in a custom Hatsune Miku theme and some minor
edits here and there. There's also a new navigation menu for the Wallpapers pages. I should have added it sooner
but never got around to it. I also realize the OreImo characters in the header may seem odd juxtoposed with the
Miku theme but whatever. I like that wall, lol. I'm working on a new wall that may be included in this update
if I can't get online soon but there's a lot of problems going on right now so I have no idea. We'll see.

- Wallpaper: Ore no Imouto "Kirino & Kuroneko Gowns"
Another Ore no Imouto wallpaper. This time it's Kiririn-shi and Kuroneko-shi. It took about a month to
do, working on and off but I love how it came out. I wanted to do this the instant I saw it because of the
level of detail and such. Anyway, enjoy! I'll be taking another break from projects for awhile. Not sure
how long, though.

- Wallpaper: Ore no Imouto "K-Kyou-chan! Douzo!"
Today we have Manami from the currently running series: Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai (AKA:
My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute). This project was a bit more involved than usual. In the original
screencap her arms were cut off at the wrists so I had to draw the hands in myself, taking into account
the perspective and also the cut right before this that showed the positions of her hands. After that, the
foreground was pretty straightforward.
The background also had to be stretched and worked with since the original was rather vertically oriented.
I recreated it as faithfully as I could but not everything turned out perfect. Still, I'm pretty happy with
the results.

- Wallpaper: Working!! "I Feel Like Hitting Him..."
New wall today and once again it's everyone's favorite androphobe: Inami! Along with Takanashi's shoulder.
If you forget the scene, it's when Inami first meets Ooto-san, hense the title. Not that it couldn't just
as easily apply to anyone else... =P Anyway, enjoy. Hopefully it'll be less than three months before my
next update, lol.

- Wallpaper: Professor Layton "Professor Layton and the Future Gentleman"
Only one new wallpaper today. It's from the new Professor Layton movie entitled Professor Layton
and the Eternal Diva. If you liked the games (or even if you've never played them!) check it out
if it's within your ability. I specifically mention that there's only one new wall because I
changed the Wallpapers page a little. I had a bunch of Izuna walls up before but I took a couple
down and it seemed silly to have a full page for the remaining three so I started a second Vectors
page with the Izuna vectors and moved "Artbook Covers" to the Raster page. My next project just
might be another Layton vector, we'll see, hehe.

- Wallpaper: K-ON! "YuiAzu at the Talent Show"
This time it's K-ON's Yui and Azusa from the talent show episode a few weeks ago. This wall was
a bit of a challenge but not nearly as much as my Lain one. I need to add a lot of detail to
their heads and their guitars. The heads were easy enough since they both get close ups during
the scene. If they hadn't, I wouldn't have even bothered attempting this. The guitars I just used
a bunch of reference images. It was a pain but the results are worth it. There are a few minor
issues with this but I like it. Next up? I'm not sure. I think a FF8 wall will be in the works
sometime soon, though.

- Wallpaper: Working!! "The Magic Hand"
Back again. Another new Working!! wall. This one featuring Takanashi and Inami. The last one was
a quick one but this one I put all my normal effort into. I'm quite happy with it. No plans for my
next one just yet.

- Wallpaper: Working!! "Poplar March"
- Wallpaper: Working!! "Poplar March Tile"
It's borderline 1 year since my last brand spanking new wall. This one was just something quick and
fun. I did this in like one really long sitting. It's not my best work, by far, but it's just a fun
design and the original was difficult to work with, anyway. But, yeah, this is Takanashi and Poplar
from the OP of Working!!. A fun little comedy about a goup of people working a diner. Highly
recommended.

- Wallpaper Updated: Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja "Romantic Fool" 1
- Wallpaper Updated: Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja "Romantic Fool" 2
Finally. I finally got the Romantic Fool walls updated. I worked on them like three seperate times
over the last few months but I buckled down and just finished them. The big thing was the linework.
It was too light. I also had some minor mistakes here and there. Then I touched up many details and
the last thing was the backgrounds. Nearly a complete overhaul on RF 1 and a completely new one for
RF 2 which looks more like some of the official wallpaper backgrounds. That's it for now. I may
just start a new vector, though. It'll be the first brand new content in about a year =P

- Wallpaper Updated: Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja "Artbook Covers"
An April 1st update but not an April Fools update =P I uploaded the RF Covers wall to DA so it is
hosted now and direct links are available. The Romantic Fool Vector walls are still being hosted
through a Rapidshare link but I'm still editing that one so I'll fix those after I finish touching
them up. Really I had to overhaul the whole vector a bit. I was thinking of making new backgrounds,
too. Not really sure if I will, though.

-Izuna Wallpapers Page Updated
A bit of an edit to the Izuna page. Had to take down a couple old walls and that leave one wall
without hosting. The Romantic Fool walls are still hosted, though. I'll fix everything up as soon
as I can. A lot of problems in the real world right now so no expectations on new walls =\

- Wallpaper Updated: Sumomomo Momomo "Sumomomo Aprons"
- Wallpaper Updated: Kyouran Kazoku Nikki "Kyouka Avatars"
I finished converting my old walls to widescreen and a couple of my own looked a little different
on LCDs so I touched up the colors a bit. The Sumomo one had linework around Iroha-dono that was
just too light. I darkened that and touched up Momoko's while I was at it. The Kyouran wall had
colors that were too washed out and the framing wasn't great on some versions so there was a lot
of letterboxing. Made the colors a little more vibrant and edited the framing on those.
Not sure what the next update will entail or when it'll be. Haven't got any plans for another wall
right now. We'll see =P
- = Notes = -
Icons are split into two groups, icons made for AIM (48X48) and
icons made for journal/blog sites (100X100). Feel free to look and
take anything for your personal use.
Also, sorry if you get a lot of ads or popups. I have ad and popup
blocking so I can't tell how bad it is but I know it's there. If you
think the site is lacking style, I'm sorry. I code everything by hand in
Notepad, lol. So, yeah, "nothing fancy" is an understatement.
You cannot hot link to anything on this site. If you
want to use them, save them to your computer or host them
on your own site. Not my rules but my hosts.
