Here I will keep a track of all my past designs. Why? Because nostalgia is a good thing, I guess.

Paper Roses ~ May 01 - June 01: This is the layout I used when my site was hosted at Gossimer .net. When I moved, I decided I may as well change the layout. All graphics were drawn by hand in Adobe Photoshop.

Angel Kisses ~ June 01 - July 01: This layout didn't last very long, about a month. It was really me, light, airy and dreamlike. Unfortunately, on account of the way it was set up, it had a habit of screwing up and loading wrong pages into wrong frames. I never did figure out why, I trawled through the HTML for hours and still didn't see anything wrong. I may come back to this design when I've refined it and polished it. The graphics were drawn by hand, scanned and coloured in both Photoshop and PSP.

Arabian Twilight~ July 01 - January 02: Lordy! This one lasted for so damn long! It wasn't even that great, was it? It was inspired by 'Aladdin' The graphics were drawn by hand in PSP.

~~~

Nuit Rouge~ January 02 - April 02: I'd just seen Moulin Rouge at this point and started getting obsessed with all things French. The graphics were drawn by hand in PSP

~~~

Diver Kitty ~ April 02 - May 02 (end of): This layout was the product of my own laziness. I couldn't be bothered to draw a new set of pictures so I just used one that I already had. I did like it though. The main image was drawn by hand with coloured pencils and messed around with in PSP

~~~

Binary Butterfly ~ May 02 - June 02 : This, my laziest layout to date, was incredibly simple, consisting of only a background pattern and title graphic! It was yet another one in which I got lazy and used dropdown boxes for my navigation. I did really like the colours though, they were pretty together.

~~~

Burning Haze ~ June 02 - August 02 : This was a result of me playing around in Terragen (dammit, forgot the addy) and getting this really rich landscape. You would think brown would be boring and unworkable but this is probably one of my favourites. It's very warm, which is probably why i called it Burning Haze ^_^

~~~

Kitty Kafe (cafe ^_~) ~ August 02 - October 02 : Something silly and cute for the last little bit of summer. I wasn't actually planning this design. It was one of those rare occassions when I drew a random piccie and thought 'Hey, that'd make an OK layout' Thus it was born ^_^

~~~

Blood Red Moon ~ October 02 - November 02 : Another layout that didn't last long. I had such high hopes for this one. I had a picture in my mind's eye of what it should be like but I just couldn't make it look that way in Photoshop. I do like the tone of the whole thing though. One of my few dark layouts and this one was dark in more ways than just the colour scheme. The main image (drawn for this very reason) has a distinct Gothic tang to it. Still looked too simple though.

~~~

Ice Queen ~ November 02 - June 03 : I liked this one. It's been a while since blue was my main colour. This was originally designed to be just for winter but somehow it managed to last for a heck of a lot longer. Oh well. The main image was drawn especially for this (It's been sitting on my HD for weeks, I've just never got around to uploading it. I'm lazy

~~~

Rose Tinted ~ June 03 - July 03 : I thought it was about time one of my characters was showcased in a layout. This paricular character is Vanille. The idea for this design looked so much better in my head. Bleh >_< I've never really done a truly pink design before. I fancied doing one.

~~~

Ice Creamed ~ July 03 - September 03 : Oh, I enjoyed this one, I'm also really proud of it. The base drawing for this came out after a month long talent slump so it was like a breath of fresh air! ^_^ Obviously, it was inspired by summer and while the girl was drawn and then scanned, the background and colouring was courtesy of Photoshop

~~~

Alizarine ~ September 03 - July 04 : Yikes! 9 months! I liked this one though, It was a colour I'd never used before ^_^ The base image was a really crappy felt pen doodle that evolved further than i ever anticipated. Fiddled with in Photoshop

~~~

Moonspell ~ July 04 - July 05 : Lol, This one lasted a whole year. I think I made this as an excuse to draw a moon in Photoshop. It stuck so long because I'm lazy. Thats all ^_^

~~~

Trinket ~ July 05 - September 06 : This layout featured a character I had been toying with as a potential idea for a film. It never happened but I liked the design. This was drawn and inked by hand on the very worst inking paper in the world. Every line bled so I had to clean it up a lot in Photoshop before colouring it in the same
