Graphics and some

I planned on updating earlier, but never got around to do it. A week or two back, I realized there were some errors in the latest design, “A deception, of.”, that I didn’t foresee while helping a user set it up. So, I re-coded parts of it and uploaded the edited version. If you’ve downloaded the layout last month or earlier this month, I’d advise you to re-download the layout. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Apart from that, I wanted to thank all those who’ve given suggestions for Anime series and tutorials from the last update. I’ve read through all your comments and took note of the series. I’ve found some I’ve liked and will use in the future.

For those who asked about tutorials on databasing or PHP, I’m afraid I can’t do those. I’m neither skilled nor qualified in those areas to write them.

New quotes have been added to Dark & Death and Life categories. Thank you Allen Steble and Sanna for submitting. I’ve also added a new texture set made out of photos of old cracked and mossy walls and some new avatars - which is probably the only thing I find satisfying to design now-a-days (they’re smaller, less time consuming and not as disappointing).

I wanted to update with a design, but I guess that’ll have to wait until my muse finds me again.

Edit (22.06.07): I should’ve plugged this earlier, but check out the amazing new layouts at Esaudrae and Beloved-Melody. The click counter is back up, you can download and preview layouts and brushes again.

Suggestions Anyone?

I recieved a suggestion to add more tutorials to the site. Originally, I had planned not to add HTML/CSS tutorials because there are some great HTML and CSS help sites out there that do their job exceptionally well. So apart from those, regarding Photoshop Tutorials, does anyone have any suggestions?

I’d also like to know if you’d like to see any particular anime/manga series portrayed in designs or graphics. I’m not much of an anime watcher but I like using Kojima Ayami artworks (thanks Mika, for pointing that out) and Angel Sanctuary illustrations and occasionally feel like I’m being repetitive in those series. Suggestions and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Other than that, I’ve added some more avatars (it’s that addiction again). And finally got around to adding the quotes that were sent in. Thank you Allen Steble, Wi, Kanidake, Vanessa, Cordelia and Karissa for submitting.

And before I forget, thanks for all the feedback and comments on the premade of an update ago.
