I have never successfully kept up a portfolio thread (though I don't think I've tried in well over a year now). I'm going to try this time. Feel free to poke me if I stop updating it. ;-)

Recent blends:

I got a lot of fonts lately that I've been playing with. I've also done some fun experimenting with grayscale and combining textures. Feedback, comments, tips, and advice are all more than welcome. ;-)

w00t! My twin has a graphics thread! I adore that World So Cold blend, and that Damaged Eowyn blend us so stunning. I love....ok, at the rate I'm going, I'll end up listing everything here, so I guess I'll just say that I love everything! :-D Seeing that A/E banner reminded me that I still haven't used it yet. Soon you shall see it up! :) Your work is incredible. Keep it up!

Altariel, I've always loved the way you do fonts. They're so glowy and shiny! Great choice in lyrics too. I really, really love the last sig set you posted--it's so different and really pretty! Keep it up!

Thank you all so much! :happy: It's your encouragement that makes me want to keep going and improving.

I'll probably have a massive update to add in a day or two, so be forewarned. :-P

OK, here we go. You have been warned. :teehee:

Here's the story: I have a tradition of making graphic Christmas cards for my friends on another forum. I've done this for the past two years. This year I had finals week, then spent a week in Georgia, then came home a day late. By this point I had a LOT to catch up on. Well, on the 23rd suddenly it hit me: I hadn't made any Christmas cards. So I started in. And made 22 blends in two days, on top of other Christmas preparations.

I just about died, and didn't get anywhere near enough sleep, but I survived and got them all sent out Christmas morning. :-P Here are a few of my favorites. Each was personalized to something my friends like.

^I took that picture. :) I just cleaned it up a bit to make it look professional.

Image
^For my older brother. :-P

Image

Image

Image

Image
^For my sister, a Final Fantasy addict.

Image
^I believe this is the only Narnia graphic I have ever made in my entire career.

You...are stunning. All of them are beyond amazing, and I don't think I even have a distinct favorite because I can't choose! I think my favorite is the Heroes Never Die blend, but then I go ahead and see all of the others, and then I go back to the top and look at them all again and then.....:-P You are epic indeed!

your stuff is so pretty! :yes: And you have such a unique and colorful style.... I really like it all. :yes: :hug: good job, dear! (and I really hope you'll be able to keep this one updated! :D :D)

(btw, that one picture you took of the drops of water on some leaves... that was gorgeous!)

OK, here's a small-ish update... a lot of this was experimentation. Can you tell I'm really excited about Red's new album? :innocent: Most of the words on these are from those songs.

That grayscale Frodo blend with the lyrics from Fight Inside...sent shivers up my spine.

Everything is beautiful as always! I'm really liking the way you do your fonts. :-D
