This layout I created as my Christmas break personal website-revamp project,
because it had been FOREVER since E-R had gotten a new layout, and it was due.
It was also the inauguaral layout for my domain collective, newly split
from my personal works archive, Sanctuary.
I wanted something big and grand, the way most people's domain collectives are,
but I also wanted something different-looking, or, at least, as different-looking
as I can make a layout. So, inspired by Seiyuuki and
Janice, I wrestled with the layout
for hours, and finally came up with what you see now. I was going for a smooth,
light, painted look for the background and border, and I'm actually very fond of
how it turned out. I love that picture of Misuzu, and I'm pleased with how the
rollovers came out, too. I was a bit self-indulgent here, though. The
layout is pretty big, for me; about 900px wide, where I usually design somewhere
around 8x6. But I don't care~ It's my domain, so I'm allowed to be self-indulgent.
:3 The version's title comes from the AIR song Aozora, which was on a
continuous loop in my head while I made the layout <3
This layout I created when I saw this Bleach photo in a gallery over at animegalleries. I loved it
immeadiately, and since I needed to make another layout for this domain, anyway, I figured, what the
hell? Why not use this one? My first attempts failed miserably, and I actually gave up, then decided
that if I couldn't make this wonderful image into a layout, I had to at least make it into a wallpaper
so I could look at it everyday. ^_^ The wallpaper came out very nicely, with the help of a few textures,
so I took one last swing at making it into a layout, and, well...here it is. Not *spactacular* or
anything, but me likes. :D
This is the first version of Endless-Run, and one I basically consider a placeholder. I like the way the image up
top looks, and I'm kinda fond of how the content boxes came out, but it's too small... ;_; and too simple. I want
my domain layout to be bigger and...niftier. But the first lay *had* to be Ghost in the Shell - I mean, the
whole domain was *inspired* by Ghost in the Shell, and the song Inner Universe - there could be no other
opening layout. ^_^ So, anyway, for the most part, I *am* pretty proud of it, even if it is nothing special.
