Yeah. Another layout change. About that… Haha. If you read this post about the last layout change, please ignore/forget it. I was rambling about something. If I say such nonsense again, feel free to throw a vending machine at me. *Pushes forth Shizuo.*

Time to introduce the new layout! This layout features Uruha, the guitarist from the Japanese Rock band called the GazettE. Usually, I try to steer clear of any GazettE images and whatnot because they’re already popular enough as it is and I don’t feel like trying to boost their popularity because frankly, I’d rather boost DELUHI or lynch. I was just drawn to this image. Hehe.

If you see anything with a broken link and suck, please report it to me! Also, if you’re using Internet Explorer, please switch over to Firefox.

Some of the icons in this update hint shounen-ai . I gave you a warning~ If you can’t handle shounen-ai or disapprove of it, please be mature and don’t yell/bash/etc. Also, if you get don’t understand how to navigate around the site, there’s a site map link at the bottom of every page.

1. [017] Icons: DELUHI, Fairy Tail, Sengoku Basara, Stock
2. [001] PSD: There are two results to this PSD so that’s why the result image is split in half.
3. [001] Signature: Sengoku Basara

And last but not least, a two new link exchanges! Please welcome Dei from Lock & Key and Yvette from Drama Love.

Note: I’m going back to school on August 16^th so I won’t be updating as much content as I am now. You might think I’m crazy, but I actually like school and I can’t wait to go back. XD

Did I mention how much I love colouring? Not with crayons, markers, colour pencils, etc. because with those, I utterly suck at colouring things. I meant colouring with Photoshop. Well anyways, I managed to get 25 icons going. Yay me~ That’s probably the largest batch that you’ll ever get from me, if not second largest unless you keep up with my livejournal community, ValensMalice.

I would have a larger batch if I wasn’t too caught up playing Final Fantasy XII. I’m currently running around hunting Marks and getting Espers (So far, I command 5 of them, two from the storyline and three optional ones.). Right now, I’m trying to finish the ‘Gathering the Cockatrice Flock’ side quest though I have no idea why I’m doing it because I already have a Diamond sword for Vaan and who uses Basch? If I get another Diamond sword, I’m just going to give it to Basch and he’ll be a powerful level 12 character but there’s no point to that because Vaan, Fran, and Balthier are all level 57.

And now to play Final Fantasy XII~ By the way, is anyone else getting these ridiculous advertisements in their comment section from Lowest Rate Loans?

1. [025] Icons: Stock, Naruto, Fairy Tail
2. [001] PNG: Bleach (Nel Tul & Nnoitra)

Because I like helping. :D

Plugs on Sparrowhawk, Kuyru, Kishuu, and Neko-ka-san for commenting on the previous post.

Yeah! I’m back in action, for the meantime. Haha. I thought about changing the name, Your Final Demise, to what has become my favorite Latin word but then it would create a hassle for my affiliates, link exchanges, and myself update links and what not.

I can’t wait to get my schedule for Sophomore year. Really, I can’t wait for the day that they send date for when we pick up our schedules because I want to see if I got into Japanese and the Academy of Technology. Too bad the Academy doesn’t teach graphic design till Senior year. Sigh.

Going on, there have been some minor changes to the way that some pages are displayed. Most pages that are related to information about the site can be accessed through the ‘WWW‘ link. I also replaced the contact form with a different script so please tell me via direct email or comment if there are any problems concerning it.

Just for your information, the new PSD and Photoshop Action are the same coloring. They are just formatted differently to match the preference of the visitor. Hopefully, I’ll soon merge the PSDs and Actions into one category but you will still be able to choose your preference on the most recent ones. By preference, I mean that if you’re more comfortable with PSDs, you can choose the PSD file for that coloring, vise versa for the Actions. If you think that is a waste of time and/or effort, please don’t hesitate to tell me. Regardless if it is positive or negative, I love getting feedback from my visitors.

The tutorial section will be back as soon as I’m able to. Sorry about the month(s) long delay.

This is just an update on my status so far. If you’ve kept up with my livejournal posts, then you have an idea of what’s been going on in my life. If not, I’ll explain some of it right here. Near the end of the school year, there are finals (exams/tests) that we have to take, meaning that most of us will study for it beforehand. I don’t study but I worry about final tests and whatnot like most people do. In addition to the stress the finals have placed on me, a problem about my parents came up from a long time ago. Apparently, it’s still going this very moment but it’s not as bad as is was when it was brought up. This is all I’m going to tell you because I’m trying to be vague about it and if I explain anymore into it, I won’t be so vague anymore. I’m not trying to get some pity or sympathy from any of you, I’m just telling you what’s happening in my life right now. That’s it.

Well, going onto a more “happy” topic, I’m going to be back in action very soon since summer vacation has already started for me. Well, I’m suppose to be in school right now but I’m skipping because no one’s going to be there and one single absent isn’t going to do very much to my grade. Hehe. ;] Me being back in action means a brand new layout when I make the next update.

Before I forget, please welcome Aihara-Chan from Divine Royalty, Sebz from Carnivalogic, and Cat from Sliver Cat Designs! I’ve also update most links for those who changed hosts or got your own domain. If I didn’t update your link yet, don’t spam me to update it because I’ll get around to it.

I was wondering if anyone plays the online game, WonderKing? If you do, feel free to whisper my character or buddy me. RedAme—Windus.

See you next time~

As promised, I have an update for May. Some of you probably might have already seen these new additions while some of you probably haven’t. Well, some of them aren’t actually “new”. They’ve been announced on the update box while it was still here but I took it down since I was beginning to update something everyday during the end of April and I thought that it would get really annoying so it went ‘Poof’.

There was a small burst of inspiration from these screencaps that I saw for D=OUT’S PV, SUNRISE, and SuG’s PV, butterfly Boy. That small burst of inspiration allowed me to create thirteen icons in total. Thirteen icons is a lot more than my usual one or two icons. I kept the icons as simple as possible with a bit of glow and light textures. How イロクイ。 got in there, I have no idea.

[011] Icons: D=OUT, SuG, Irokui. (イロクイ。)
[002] PS Actions: Underwater and Faded Colors
[001] PNG: Crossover
[014] Scans: Kingdom Hearts Postcards, Miyavi “Flyer”, One Piece trading cards

Also, one new link exchange! Please welcome Rebirth by visiting her site.

In addition to the new content, I changed a the way several sections display their categories and pages. Instead of only displaying eight PSDs on one page, it now displays twelve but I think that’s a bit too much. Eh. I also haven’t added the scans yet to the site but you can find them on ValensMalice. They’re up on Your Final Demise now. :]

See you guys next month!

Manda’s starting vectoring?! Yeah, I am. I figured I’d try something new instead of sticking to the same old boring thing: coloring the image and adding on textures. I’m horrible at it, but that’s because I just started to experiment with it! One day, I’ll make those pretty wallpapers that you see all over Minitokyo and Animepaper. Until then, I’ll just leave my horrible vectors in the dark but I’ll probably post it on my livejournal account and ask for opinions on what I should take off and leave on.

Just ignore the big watermark of Tsunari @ Livejournal. If you haven’t read my livejournal entry yet, the person sitting there is Superbi Squalo from Katekyo Hitman Reborn. (Who doesn’t love the guy that runs around screaming VOI! ?) Yes, that’s iPod wires coming out of where Squalo’s ears are supposedly. I didn’t want to start Squalo entirely because that would kill me, so I just made it like the iPod commercials. Got to start with baby steps.

Well, the point of this update was actually to announce that I have a new affiliate, Nise from Flamboyant! Please welcome her by visiting her site if you haven’t already while I spam her link for the next two lines.

Also, please join Kuyru’s graphic challenge!

I hope that you’re all doing well! I’ll see you guys later next month. (Update wise)

Erm, new layout? I’m going to announce that this will probably be the final layout change for Your Final Demise, if not one of the very last. Why? Well, I’m probably not going to be as active anymore really. Taking care of this site has become more of a chore then a hobby. Could have deleted this site but I didn’t. If I do delete it, know that you can find me at livejournal.

If you look around the site, you’ll notice that the preview images for the Designs, Ps Actions, and Wallpapers have gotten larger. I enlarged the preview images because larger images give you a more clearer view than smaller images.

Did I mention how much I dislike Internet Explorer? :D Also, ignore the new layout please~

Hopefully, March is the last month that I’ll be updating weekly. I’ll be changing the weekly updates into monthly updates so I don’t have a bajillion posts. Also, the upcoming 26^th is my birthday and I’ll be turning 15. For some reason, I feel old even though I’m not that old. I find it funny how my birthday’s the last day of school before Spring Break and that we have a Rally on that day, meaning that classes are cut short and the whole school comes out into the Football field.

Apparently, our cheer this time is: “We’re the future, we’re the scene, we’re the class of 20-13″! I don’t get the ’scene’ part of the cheer plus, it’s too long. Last semester, it was: “So fresh, so clean, so 20-13″. I like the previous cheer better. It’s much shorter and easier to remember. Plus, we freshmen are suppose to wear the color gray on the rally day to represent our class. There are class t-shirts for each class level and ours was really… weird. Everyone of the submitted designs had our school mascot on it, an Eagle. Just because our mascot is an eagle doesn’t mean we have to use it. People went as far as to use the Wyotech’s label, which is an eagle. People these days…

Anyways, to the updates!

1. Content related:
• 2 Signatures: Code Geass and Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
• 18 Scans: V!nyl Syndicate Volume 14
• 1 Icon: DuRaRaRa!
2. Site related:
• One new link exchange: Aristocrat

Signatures have been added to the site just for the fun of it. I’ve been trying to extract some PNGs but every time I do it, I end up stopping half-way and then starting on a new one. It’s really irritating. Sigh.

I’m going to delete the PS7 splash images to get them while you can. The PS7 splash images will only be offered on ValensMalice. I’ll delete them when the I post the next update in April so until then, they’ll still be here.

I’ll get some more scans up from the post card collection booklets that I have along with a Jrock and Jpop magazine. Yes, Jpop’s going to appear on my site for once. I’m just wondering if anyone wants me to scan another Phantasmagoria post card collection booklet that I have. Some of the pictures are edited weirdly like for example: A postcard of Matoi is completely green. And then others already have the glow effect on them like this image. (The one of Kisaki on the right).

Well, I should probably go make my lunch now. This will probably be my first attempt at cooking something other then rice so wish me luck~ XD Hopefully, I won’t burn the kitchen.

Another new layout so soon?! Yes. Nao-kun is gone forever! Not. You can actually switch back to the layout that has Nao-kun on it because you can switch layouts now! After all this time, you can now finally switch layouts whenever you feel like it. Not only does this feature allow you visitors to switch to a layout of your liking, it allows me to edit the layout much easier than before because all I have to do is edit this one file and overwrite it, unlike when I have to edit the layout then upload it into multiple folders and such. :D

1. Site related:
• One new link exchange: Kurenaicons
• One updated link exchange: Honey Monster

If you’ve noticed, the tutorial section isn’t working at the moment. I’ll get it up asap. (When I get off my lazy butt and do it. XD)

I haven’t created any new content so far because school is getting ready for some midterms and also because I’ve been playing Final Fantasy X-2. Hehe. I’m trying to level Pain, Rikku, and Yuna up while completing Via Infinito at New Yevon so I can breeze through Angra Mainyu. I got pretty close to floor sixty of the Via Infinto but then I accidently jumped into a pit where there was an Elder Drake at the button, thus making my characters die before I can save all my hard work. D:

For some reason, I feel like I’m missing something… Oh well! I’ll probably find out tomorrow. XD

Some content update today. Well, not today. A couple days ago, these were made. I just didn’t chose to announce them until now. The icon that I’m using is one of the two icons that I’ve added.

1. Content related:
• 2 PSDs
• 1 PNG: Soul Eater
• 2 Icons: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
2. Site related:
• One new link exchange: Lovely-Rivals

I offer PNGs now! Yay. Though that Soul Eater one took me awhile to extract because I’m not use to it. Last time I attempted to extract an image, I was using the wand tool which left a grayish border behind. Most people wouldn’t notice the grayish border until they placed the PNG on a dark background so this time, if you place the PNG on a dark background, you’ll see little to no grayish border on it.

If you live on the coast of California, you probably have noticed the weather’s bipolarness. Take my day for example. When I woke up to go to school, it was slightly raining. Around twelve in the afternoon at school, it was really sunny. Near the end of school, it started to rain again. The pattern goes on and off. One moment it’s raining, the next moment it’s bright and sunny. Choose one weather that you want to display! Geez.

Also, have you’ve ever hated it when you bring an umbrella to school when it’s raining and then you end up not needing it? And the exact opposite when you don’t bring an umbrella to school because you think it’s going to be sunny when you leave but it ends up pouring outside. That happened to me yesterday and today. The weather hates me. ._.

Three layouts in three weeks… What is this?! I myself, have no idea. D: Anyways, if you have any problem seeing this layout, please tell me. :D

The square monster thing is what I doodle on my papers at school. I attempted to draw a square Pikachu on the overhead my teacher gave us to write on but then, it obviously didn’t turn out well and then, Nao was born. ♥ He looks much more cooler on paper because I doodle him with balloons, a tail, lollipops, and mini hims. Well, the navigation is a slide menu so if you click one of them, it should slide down and reveal the menu to you. Affiliate links are at the bottom of the page. For the most part, this layout didn’t use any outside resources aside from Photoshop and Dafont. By outside resources, I mean textures, brushes, etc.

Speaking of affiliates, I’m thinking about reopening affiliation so if you’re interested, just read the requirements and drop a message.

Two design updates in a month… You visitors are spoiled! Just kidding. Well, I’ve added another design in a span of eight days. I’m suppose to be doing my homework but instead I’m making a design. Oh gosh.

This design features Mizuki of Karasu. Karasu is a side project (I think) and Sadie is his main band. It’s labeled as Karasu because this photo shoot was taken under the name of Karasu, not Sadie so therefore it is correctly Karasu. Please don’t bite off my head because of this, or I’ll go get Dokuro Mukuro and his psychopathic awesomeness. :D

1. Content related:
• 27 Stock images
• 1 Design: Sweet Intoxication
• 2 Icons: Karasu

The icons added are extras with the new design meaning if you download the design, the icons automatically come with it.

If you’ve noticed, the stock image’s dates are out of order. It’s out of order because I found some images in my camera that I didn’t notice I had before so I added them. In addition to those 27 stock images, I’m going to add more probably tomorrow or the day after that because I just took some when I was out with my friends at a belated birthday party. The stock images are of our sushi plates and some roses that my friend received. I’m surprised that the restaurant didn’t kick us out because we were really loud. XD

I’m wondering if I should delete some old icons that aren’t up to my standards anymore. I want to delete them but at the same time, I don’t want to because it shows my development in my skills. Mind helping me?

1. Content related:
• 1 PSD
• 1 Design: 타락천사 (Fallen Angel)
• 1 Wallpaper: Stranger ft. Ruki from the GazettE
2. Site related:
• Updated link exchange: Delirious
• Updated “About” page
• Added “Wallpaper” page

I have a new design! I think I’ll make one once a month. Let’s see how that pace goes. Going on, I love the design for its simplicity and cleanness if I do say so myself. The only thing about this design that sets me off is the navigation. I had no idea what to do with it so I just mushed it up on the top. :] If you have any suggestions to display the navigation better without changing the design’s framework, feel free to post it or contact me about it because I’m open to suggestions. Don’t worry. I won’t bite unless you provoke me too. :D

I would have added some more Stock images that I just took today but I can’t seem to take them out of the memory card because it’s being a thing. Well, I think my computer is being the thing because I always have issues with memory cards for cameras and the like. I’ll probably get it up by the end of this week.

Also, I hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day along with “Chinese New Year” and spent it with loved ones.

P.S. I’m currently changing the hit counters slowly so if you click on a link and it says ‘This ID doesn’t exist!’ or directs to the 404 page, then please check back after a minute or so because I’m switching the scripts. If for some reason that it keeps appearing after 3 minutes, please tell me and I will fix it as soon as I can. :D
