The News:
So . . . the new version of the site totally throws me off. I don't necessarily have a good/bad opinion on it yet, but I keep trying to do things the semi-old way and it's not working. Also, if we lowly, unsubscribed people can have thumbnails and comment previews in our message box then what is the new plus of the subscription? I have to say that when I did have a subscription it was awesome just because the messaging center was so much better . . . but now, in V6, everyone has that bonus.

Anyway, I uploaded the new sketch version of my A.R.O.S. fashion cards picture. There were some major problems with it before that I didn't really notice until after I had posted it. So yeah, if anyone's curious, go check out the new goodness: [link] Also, I thought I should probably explain just why I titled them fashion cards. I have this image in my head of what they'll look like when colored and it sort of matches the designs of what I have seen on Sailormoon and Dragon Ball Z trading cards/stickers (you know, from back in the day when I collected such things ). It's probably a bunch of BS, but whatever.

Anyway, another plug for Annerb because I got her 4000 hit kiriban! She's drawing me a picture of my wonderful Kaleidos people, Russus and Caeruleus, and it should be pretty amazing. I haven't really specified what I want with them, but it should be awesome. Just look what she's done with them before:

Speaking of Kaleidos, I kind of enjoying the new clothing designs I've been doing for my characters (which can be seen here: [link] and here: [link] . . . yes, I'm shamelessly self-plugging myself). I haven't decided if I should just stop at the two main characters or continue to do everyone else now. I mean, Russus and Caeruleus actually have a couple more outfits I could go through (four that I can instantly think of) . . . but then there's Viola (at least three outfits), Lividus (one?), Gemellus (at least two), Geminus (never really thought about it), Gilvus (one?), and Malevolus (at least two). Which, that all just starts to get menacing, you know?
