Sites
Mercury*Hime's Sailormoon World
The first website I ever made, all about Sailormoon manga. It's been around for 2 years as of 01.25.02, and it's grown to be pretty big. I started building it January 25th, 2000, and it became my obsession to work on it. Now I don't even want to update it. ^^; Most likely I will revamp this and make it an information attachment to S.M.R.G. (see below.)
Sailormoon Manga Restoration Gallery
The gallery was created June 28, 2000. My intention was to add a gallery to SW, but after Tripod's temporary collapse I moved the entire gallery to Angelfire. Now the gallery is more popular than SW itself. -_-; The gallery contains no butchered images or transparent gifs. It had every image except for black and white manga pictures, Artbook 6 pictures of Infinity collection images. As of August 3rd, 2002, the gallery has been completely revamped and moved off of Angelfire. It is now known as S.M.R.G. for short.
«shadow»
A shrine to one of my favorite Sonic Team character, «shadow» is a Shadow shrine complete with profiles, fanfiction, game guide, art gallery and more. The Fanart and Fanfiction archives are growing quite nicely, drop by and make a submission sometime :)
pockyland
pockyland is basically a site with several functions: a collective for all my sites/projects, an art gallery, and good old-fashioned insanity. But you're here already =P so here are the previous layouts, all designed for mainly 800x600 resolutions (although the later ones can pretty much fit in 800 and up and function best in IE 5.5+).
Layout 1 - pockyland - 07.16.01 - 08.23.01
My first layout, made by the lovely RoseIce. It features me, beer, and a lovely shade of blue. Can't beat that with a stick. ;)
Layout 2 - happy hour - 08.23.01 - 10.10.01
I named this layout after "Happy Hour," a song by Shonen Knife. It made me laugh when I first heard it, and I'm a big fan of theirs, so I went with the idea. The image used is my Sweeeeet 16 pic drawn by BoltStryke. Wake up, everybody, this is happy hour...
Layout 3 - dark thoughts - 10.10.01 - 11.13.01
My first Dark Pocky layout, RoseIce and I decided to experiment with a black and white/grayscale layout, and this image was a gorgeous choice. "dark thoughts" also fit the Halloween season. ;) Dark Pocky was drawn by Linda.
Layout 4 - rubber room - 11.13.01 - 12.25.01
A pretty-in-pink Asylum Pocky layout, with a fantastic table setup. While this layout was up, pockyland got 1000 visitors. ^___^ Funkadelic AP pic © Greliz
Layout 5 - meow mix - 12.25.01 - 01.22.02
This layout has another pic by Greliz. I've always wanted a kitty, but I was never allowed to have one unfortunately. Kitty Pocky gained quite a bit of popularity on AIM, so I decided to extend it in a layout with this gift art. =^^=
Layout 6 - daydream believer - 01.22.02 - 02.26.02
RoseIce made this layout out of my own art, and it's based off of Shonen Knife's version of "Daydream Believer." The lyrics appeal to me, so I got the idea. =D
Layout 7 - all washed up - 02.26.02 - 03.23.02
This is the first main layout on pockyland that was made by me and not RoseIce. o_o; The image is from Ranma 1/2, one of my favorite manga series. Ranma 1/2 © Rumiko Takahashi.
Layout 8 - chalkboard horror - 03.23.02 - 04.21.02
I made this layout from a scene in Tei Sama's comic by tampering with it in MSPaint, Corel PhotoHouse, and PSP. The color replacement tool in PhotoHouse made the lines look like chalk and first it looked like a horror until... >=) And yes, a weekend with my sister is that scary. XD
Layout 9 - Dub's Diner - 04.21.02 - 05.22.02
I used Fairy's "Dub's Diner" pic and added checkered borders to the top and bottom to give a "diner" look. The text accents were made in PSP. SEXUAL CHOCOLATE !!!!!!!!! is WB's doing. XD
Layout 10 - Birthday Cake - 05.22.02 - 05.31.02
For once in a bit, a layout made with my art. o_O I colored this pic in PSP, and the top banner was made out of a cake image I found. This was inspired by the loud sound of Cibo Matto's Birthday Cake.
Layout 11 - GIR - 06.01.02 - 06.22.02
I've been watching too much Invader Zim 8D Everyone I know who likes Zim has some level of liking (or worshipping) GIR, the SIR unit gone awry. I like how this layout came out. GIR © Jhonen Vasquez.
Layout 12 - BEACH PANIC! - 06.23.02 - 07.15.02
The Guitar Vader fan strikes again! BEACH PANIC! is this year's summer anthem so I made a layout accordingly. The image is from Ranma 1/2. © Rumiko Takahashi. This is my first attempt using divs, but any resolution other than 800x600 looked strange XD
Layout 13 - taiyou - 07.16.02 - 07.28.02
Happy Birthday, pockyland! Celebrating one full year of madness 8D I chose "taiyou" (based, once again, on a Guitar Vader song) for 2 reasons. One, this has been a year in the sun for pockyland, hundreds of images, dozens of fics, thousands of visitors. Two, on my first time listening to the song, it sounded like they were singin "Thank You," which is just what I'd like to say ^-^ Art drawn and colored by Moonglider and colorized by me.
Layout 14 - vanilla sky - 07.29.02 - 08.19.02
Vanilla Coke is the greatest addiction ever. XD 4000 visitors for pockyland, Vanilla Coke for me, and a good time for all! Thanks to my Scojo for the layout idea :D I stole the background from vanillacoke.com and the oekaki image of Vanilla Pocky was made by me. =9
Layout 15 - ... - 08.20.02 - 09.25.02
Another layout idea by Scojo :D Simple grayscale color scheme, lovely art by Snow Katt, and... and...
Layout 16 - Love Shocker - 09.26.02 - 10.20.02
I'm in the mood for loooove *sings* Cupid dropped by for the end of summer, so here's a bit of early Valentine's fun =P Love Shocker from Jet Set Radio was drawn by Fairy and colored by me. A few Smash Mouth lyrics were hidden in the ALT tags too :) To make this screenshot, I brought up the resolution so more of the layout could be seen ^^;
Layout 17 - smooth operator - 10.21.02 - 02.11.03
Smooooooth Operator... Nice orange shades with a touch of brown just for fall. I'm pretty proud of the tables/divs used in this one, everything in it's place and not too cluttered. Artwork by Fairy, of course :) Now gimme money.
Layout 18 - RESURRECTION - 02.12.03 - 06.22.03
Finally back O_o been watching Evangelion lately, and still in an art rut, so I decided to go witha Rei layout ^-^ I got the images from the Absolute Evangelion Image Gallery. I'm very pleased with the way this came out ^-^ I can't stand Asuka though XD
Layout 19 - Blue Velvet - 06.23.03 - 09.11.03
SUMMER TIME ! Guitar Vader announced the release of their newest CD, DAWN, and mp3.com's first mp3 release was this song. Sounds really pretty :D Tables were a pain in the ass the first time around, but I got 'em juuuust right.
Layout 20 - No Laughing Matter - 09.12.03 - 09.28.03
Sometimes, things get serious... :( As much as I love Boogiepop, this layout isn't that great to me.
Other Designs
Loved: The Life and Times of Li'l Muffin
Simple yet classy journal layout :) Using divs rather than table means less stretching problems for me, and that's a big plus. The artwork is by Scojo, lots of snuggles to him. =*
::VITAL IDOL:: Fairyaki Yoko's Journal
I just got the idea for this and decided to go with it, it's a big "THX!" to Melons (Fairy) for all the stuff she does for me :) The image is an old sketch I colored in PSP, and the icons are from Um Jammer Lammy and Fairy's artwork. I'm proud of this ^-^
Cat Cafe || My Journal
Changed my journal layout to a shiny red one with Shampoo from Ranma 1/2 (© Rumiko Takahashi). Kinda hellish at first to edit the main image of Shampoo at first, but I came up with a clean-looking compromise. :)
Sunflower Fields :: Linda's Journal
I like this one ^-^ It has Belldandy from Aa! Megami-sama! and was pretty easy to edit. I'm pretty happy with this, has a warm, gentle 'summer' look to it =)
Scotaru's Diary
Green *_* My favorite alien Lum from Rumiko Takahashi's Urusei Yatsura is the subject of a journal layout that fits well in 2 resolutions. Go me. ^_^9
Graffiti Soul :::: Corn Pocky's Journal
Jet Set Radio cosplay with artwork by Fairy. Simple layout made with tables and CSS.
Change
Just needed a change *shrug* Artwork by Kouji Ogata from the Boogiepop Artbook Collection, and simple layout design, my favorite so far. Elegant. O_o
Vulgarity Drifting Diary
My new favorite artist, Junko Mizuno! XD Mixing cute with grotesque in a retro style = <333 I got the name from a magazine column she illustrates, and "Cinderalla" and "Hell Babies" are some of her books. Warning: Frontal nudity, underaged people.
VDD v2: Mysterious Dirty Girl
More Mizuno art, mixed with Guitar Vader and some unique touches. My favorite layout so far, its just so puuuuurfect ^-^
