NEW LAYOUT!!!!

This one I am so so so SO proud of. Seriously. I even got out of bed at nine AM to do this thing, because my roommate woke me up when she was getting ready for her exam, and I had this in my head and just HAD TO DO IT.

So what are you waiting for?? starsouls1013 Run, don't walk!

I would love to know what you guys think. Obviously I haven't changed some of the text on the layout, that's all still Simon/Rivery (I still love them!! I feel so bad abandoning them, but... yeah) but I will change it eventually. I also have to make an interest icon for Boondocks (I just got obsessed this weekend... and look what I've already done! *proud* *or embarassed*) but that will all come later, preferably after finals, but probably during a study break :P

Sooooo... comments? Please? :D

ETA: Because I am positively bursting at the seams (what? When I do artwork I'm actually pleased with, I get really excited) I will expound at length about why I am so happy with this header. You've got both the boys looking so hot (seriously... they look like they're orgasming). Both of their faces are clearly visible, yet also textured and not dislocated from the rest of the image (which I sometimes have trouble with). I very much like the way the text becomes darker then brighter - this is from the texture that was on top of everything, because it's darker in the middle. My favorite part, however, and the piece that I feel just makes the whole thing work, is the two crosses in the middle - I took a shot of their necklaces hanging on the wall, when the light caught them *just* right, and then sort of blended it in so that they're visible but not obvious. I'm very happy with the coloring, which came mostly from setting a orange/red/yellow texture to multiply.

Ummm.. yes. HAPPY. *bounces about*

The new layout looks great - makes me wish I had that sort of artistic talent. Sadly, I'm lacking in that department.

Thank you!! And hey, that's how I felt a while ago too... then I got to know Photoshop, and now I'm addicted :)

Very Halloween. But its almost Christmas... Dont let Bill O'Reily see it, or he'll acuse you of beign a solider in the war against christmas.


Theres one thing I dont like however....when I comment, I cant see other peoples comments at the same time anymore...

Well, it's kinda christian themed, with the whole killing in the name of God thing.... :P But yes, I see your point, not very holiday-spirited! Like I care :P

And, uh, I didn't change anything related to comments, so it shouldn't be any different...

The new layout looks awesome. I love the texture in the header and the way things move from dark to light. ;)

Yayayayay good job! It looks lovely. Well, that's a lie--"lovely" would not be the word I'd use. But it's marvelously well done. Brava, darling.

Although you need to work at being horrible at something so as to make me feel a little less inadequate. And there's a compliment for you.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Awwww, thank you my dear! *muah* You're too sweet. And I agree, lovely not really the best word, but "hot" comes to mind. I mean, look at them! *guh*

I'll be horrible at.... pie-eating. Does that make you feel better? :)

I LOVE THE PRETTY ORGASMIC BOYS.

(and am going to ignore the fact that they're brothers :P)

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! It doesn't even have to be a slashy header, could just be taken at face value, but, um, clearly I slash them. See icon :D

I am going to a special hell, and smiling all the way down!
