OMG!!! This is SO pink!! I know, and I'm not a fan of pink, but hey, anyways, I like how this layout turned out.
I didn't expect changing the layout, but I woke up and this came out o_o;
For this layout, I used an image by William, from the Love whisper of the flowers booklet that will be added to the gallery today. It's pretty much the same style as the previous layout, but it's more blend-like.
No brushes or textures used other than my own.
It validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict, but I didn't put it at the bottom because some of the pages at the site still don't validate.
No updates yet, I'll edit later, I'm still fixing things around the site about the new layout. (There you go Skye xD!)
Edit: Thanks a lot for the lovely comments, I'm glad you like the new layout.
Here are the site updates for today: 8 new avatars, 1 layout and 13 PNG. I've got to change the PNG page. Since this layout's content area is wider, they don't look good.
Finally, the gallery has been updated with a new layout (the previous one was pink too, so I decided to change it o_o;). It's simple and blue/green. I've also changed the urls and the coding a bit: now everyone can access pages that were for registered users only.
The following images have been added:- Cinderella Mythology: 11 images
- Chen Shu-Fen & Ping-Fen Illustrations: 17 images *updated*
- Love Whisper of the Flowers: 13 images
- Record of Lodoss War: 37 images
- Stray Sheep Dog: 16 images
Past layouts

I've started adding CS' past layouts. They'll be added eventually, since I've got to recode them and make some changes before. The ones I added today are Destiny (Seraphim Call - I think) and Light and Dark (Shaiya). Go and see them, some of you may still remember those layouts :) I've also added one layout submitted by ayumui, thank you.
The brushes section has been updated with three new brush sets:
Little flowers are, as the title says, little flowers, good for your avatars but for some more, since not all of them are *that* small. I made some of them with the pen tool, but not all anyways.
Shapely will be useful for your technical-looking layouts or graphics.
Tainted love has small brushes but also bigger ones, use them as you please, but don't forget to link back!
I've got some more brushes in process, but they have to be finished first.
9 avatars were added since the last update. I felt like doing avatars so I made a couple :) There are also submitted ones, of course, thanks.
I'll edit when I update the gallery and PNGs.
All graphics processed

Hi, I'm back from the island :)
I missed my computer so much, if I were to do something there, I did it ten times slower than usual, but now that I'm back, all submissions have been processed.
The result: 3 new layouts (one by me), 18 avatars and 12 PNG. Thanks a lot for submitting.
Edit: I added one more layout I did. That layout was done for CS but I didn't use it in the end. I'll add CS past layouts to be downloaded soon, at least some of them.
Many of the layouts that were submitted since the last update weren't added, and some got an e-mail from me saying why (not all of them anyways). I deleted some old avatars and layouts too and worked some more in the site's coding.
No gallery updates today, maybe next time!
