Title: when the world falls down
Featured: Kyoko from Time Stranger Kyoko
Period: January 5, 2003 - May 30, 2003
Comments: I just adore the art from this manga. It's amazing, ne? ^^ The theme of this layout is the idea of 'the world falls down'. It's the idea that even if the world falls down, someone will pick you up again. ^^ It's a rather simple layout, but I like it. ^^

Website: Mind Game
Title: When life gives you lemons...
Featured: Kyo from Fruits Basket
Period: January 20, 2003 - July 2003
Comments: I wanted to use an image of a tough, but fun character, and Kyo came to mind. I adore Kyo. ^^ Meow, ne?

Website: Pan's Message Center
Title: reaching out for hope eternal
Featured: Subaru from .hack//SIGN
Period: January 30, 2003 - February 17, 2003
Comments: The first time I saw this image at the Remarque Gallery, it screamed "layout". I always liked Subaru's character design and when I wanted to make a new message center layout, I thought of her so I used the image. This layout is very simple, but I like it. It's clean and elegant, ne? ^^

Website: Pan's Friends List
Title: what the phantom sees
Featured: Boogiepop from Boogiepop Phantom
Period: January 30, 2003 - November 2003
Comments: I have no idea what inspired this one. I wanted to make a simple layout, so I did. When I saw the art from Boogiepop Phantom, I knew I had to use this image in a layout. It came out quite nicely considering. ^^

Website: Yuuhi and the Deadly Chopsticks of Doom!
Title: Fuchsia!
Featured: Yuuhi and Chidori from Ayashi no Ceres
Period: January 31, 2003 - April 21, 2008
Comments: This is such a tacky layout, but it was made late at night with virtually no inspiration. What do you expect? *heh* I kept it simple though. The Yuuhi and Chidori screenshot I used is adorable and suits the site perfectly. ^^

Website: Resolution
Title: Sacrifice is Bliss
Featured: Aki from Ayashi no Ceres
Period: January 31, 2003 - April 15, 2003
Comments: I was in an Ayashi no Ceres mood and made this layout. Yes, it's simple, but it has charm.

Website: Choose Your Path
Title: Demon Rising
Featured: Goku from Saiyuki
Period: February 5, 2003 - December 22, 2005
Comments: This is a rather simple layout I made while feeling kinda out of it. It features one of my favorite images of Goku from Saiyuki. I turned it upside down to give it a surreal feel. I think I succeeded.

Website: Pan's Message Center
Title: the demon within
Featured: Kyo from Fruits Basket
Period: February 17, 2003 - August 20, 2003
Comments: I made this layout the day after I saw the end of Fruits Basket. After the ending, my love for Kyo has only grown. Just like the rest of us, he has his own inner demons. The original scan I used came from prettysenshi.com's gallery. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to use it. Kyo looks so perfect... What can I say? I like cats. ^^

Title: Demon Rising
Featured: Demon Goku from Saiyuki
Period: February 18th, 2003 - July 15th, 2003
Comments: I got the inspiration for this layout from a shirt I recently bought. (Yes, this layout was inspired by a shirt.) I love Saiyuki, and I love demon Goku even more. Goku's just so cute when he goes berserk, ne? I just wish the layout was as nice as the image. I don't think I did this wonderful image justice.

Website: Resolution
Title: die by my hands
Featured: Ran from Sukinamonoha
Period: April 15, 2003 - May 31, 2004
Comments: I can't believe I used this image... Meh. I got rid of frames for this layout.

Website: Osuwari
Title: Living in the Pleasure World
Featured: Weiss Kreuz seiyuu (Tomokazu Seki, Shin-chiro Miki, Hiro Yuuki and Takehito Koyasu)
Period: May 30, 2003 - September 19, 2003
Comments: This layout features a scan of the Weiss seiyuu I got from Sister Sin. I absolutely adore this image and I was going to use it for my own blog, but decided it would make a better Osuwari layout. ^^ I can't tell you how much I love this image. It's that great. Yay for the dorks that are the Weiss seiyuu! *cheers*

Title: Get Out of my Head
Featured: Schildich from Weiss Kreuz
Period: July 15th, 2003 - December 1, 2004
Comments: This layout sat in my head for months, and due to a hectic schedule, I had no time to make it. I finally got around to making it, and I'm glad I did. I absolutely adore the image of Schildich I used from the last page of the second Assassins and White Shaman Weiss Kreuz manga/artbook. I knew I had to make a layout out of it, and behold! ^^ I'm not sure if I like the blue, but since I was working with a black and white image, I think it came out really nicely. ^^ The weird patterns all over the layout were drawn by hand with a mouse. I graffiti my notes constantly in the same fashion, so it was fun to make a layout the same way. It gives the layout an original feel that I'm proud of. ^^

Website: Pan's Message Center
Title: pain of the innocent killer
Featured: Quatre from Gundam Wing
Period: August 20, 2003 - September 18, 2004
Comments: After re-watching Gundam Wing for the who-knows-what time, I became obsessed with Quatre. I wanted make a new layout for my message center, and I really wanted to use an image of Quatre. I was originally going to use an image of Quatre and Trowa together, but at the time, this particular image fit my mood, so it became a perfect choice. I know I have a thing about fanart, but I made an exception this time for doujinshi. The original scan I used came from raygunworks.net's Gundam Wing doujinshi site. The image is actually from the back cover of a Duo x Quatre doujinshi by 25ANS entitled "Always Together". I like this layout. It's bright and sad at the same time. I guess the same thing can be said about Quatre, ne?

Website: Osuwari
Title: save my soul
Featured: Night Crawler from X-men
Period: September 19, 2003 - December 4, 2003
Comments: The image was provided by the lovely and talented Kira, who also requested this layout for Halloween. It's simple and it's definitely not my best work, but hey, it's different, and it's Night Crawler, so who can complain? ^^

Website: Fatal Predilection
Title: Blurred Reality
Featured: Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei from Gundam Wing
Period: September 29, 2003 - current
Comments: This features one of my all time favorite Gundam Wing images. It almost makes me dizzy every time I look at it. This layout is nice and bright, and perfect for my icon archive. I've wanted to use these shades of green in a layout for a long time. I'm happy it came out so well. ^^

Website: Osuwari
Title: something wicked this way comes
Featured: The Turks from Final Fantasy VII
Period: December 4, 2003 - October 10, 2004
Comments: I really like how this layout came out. I tried a lot of new ideas out and played with the scrollbars a bit to give Osuwari a fresh new look. ^^ This layout features of doujinshi image of the Turks from Final Fantasy VII scanned by Vincent no Miko. Why the Turks? Well, they rock, they're my favorite characters from the game, and they fit us, in some weird twisted way. Plus, everyone loves the Turks, right? ^^
