Happy New Year!
… Just thought I’d say that. Anyway, there’s a new premade for download, not the one I mentioned last update, but another. Thanks to Jess for previewing it for me in IE 6.
Excluding one, all the other layouts on the site have been redone. The more recent ones didn’t need much tweaking except an increase in line height or just cleaner coding, style sheets and extras. The older ones did though:
- A little bit of magic, older version
- Ink Me, older version
- Esoteric Confliction, older version
- Let me go, older version
- Kaleidoscope, older version
There’s another brush set as well, entitled Splots, for download. They were actually accidentally created when I was playing around with a future texture.
Is it just my unhealthy obsession with science, or do those peculiar brushes remind you of cells seen microscopically as well?
Four simple avatars were added too, one of which took a great deal of patience and time. Ask Leo, he knows.
ayayayayya first!! happy new year for you!! u did a great job in prunning, keep it up!

You always amaze me to no end. The new additions are beautiful! Especially the new premade.
Happy new years =)
Leo on Jan 01
Happy new year to you too!
The new revamped versions of the premades are done very nicely. I wish I had your patience and determination! They all look wonderful!
And yes, the new brush set DOES look like microscopic cells. That’s weird…but cool!
lol yeah, those avatars took a lot of patience aelyn, a lot of patience :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR AELYN! *hearts*
gyah, me still love “ink me” so much xD and wtf recoded in div, you’re crazy xD and me think the ‘your site title’ on that layout should be bigger, but maybe that’s just me :’D and the new layout? absolutely hawesome! XD nao lemme steal your skills *rolls*
not science for new year! ; D; but the brushes looks kewl x3 and so the icons *hearts*
Aelyn on Jan 01
Thanks guys!
@ Kiru: Oh you’re right, it’s better larger. I’ve just changed it.
Haha, you have no idea… that wasn’t the only layout recoded into divs. There are only
twothree layouts on the site that are coded with tables now. And it’s only because I didn’t revamp one yet and was lazy to recode the others.Hiro on Jan 01
Your layouts & graphics are always TEH LOVE!
Happy New Year!! ^_^
Tammy on Jan 01
M’k tell me how the heck did you go from the previous image to the end result of your layout?! XD I am so amazed to how you ended up with something like that. I luffle the metallic-ness of your layout. The icons are made of awesome as usual. You have way too much patience in remaking those layouts @_@l Anyhow, happy new year, though its already the 2nd for you by now~

You are a superb graphic designer! I thought other graphic websites were nice, but when I looked through yours, I was completely awed. Each design is carefully and artfully done. You’re really good at what you do, be it from practice or just plain genius.
Keep up the good work! Your layouts make me want to create my own website, but sadly I haven’t the time and diligence to work on one.

Hi there Aelyn! The new additions look awesomeness, especially the avatars.
Lily on Jan 21
wow… you keep all your photoshop files? lol i usuallii lose them or delete them after i make a layout. ahh … i like the new version of ‘ink me’ lol a lot bigger now
i’ll go check out that new brush set now.. hehe
Aelyn on Jan 22
@ Lily: I keep some of them but for the others I made new ones… almost felt like I was ripping my own layouts. =P
@ Rosie: Thank you!
@ Cynthia: It’s so good to hear from you, thanks for dropping by! =)

I can’t wait to be able to use the new brushes *___* They all look cool. School’s keeping me from nurturing my creativity with the computer. D:
And “Slates of Silver” is simply wonderful! I love what you did with it, going to from girly purple to a very professional silver. It’s awesome. :D

I was wondering what html or css you would have to add to be able to add comments. I really like this feature and would love to add it. If you could email me and let me know. Thanks for providing us with amazing layouts.
Chiyuki-chan on Feb 15
WOW! I can’t believe you had a hard time creating the avatars when you can make something as complex as those brushes~ That’s what you call a born genius, everybody.
