Actor in the Audience Icons

When I say this has been a labor of love, I really mean it. Originally, this was meant to be a video to bide my time until I could get my hands on some PGSM files without subtitles. Something to keep honing my skills and all that jazz. But as I worked on the video, I realized it was more than that. This was me falling in love with Makoto again.

Years ago, Jupiter was my very favorite of the Sailor Senshi. My tastes have since changed, and in many ways, I've left Makoto by the wayside. Creating this video reminded me of why she was my favorite to begin with. It made me admire her strength, her courage, her loyalty, and her tenacity. In short, it reminded me of what a freakin' badass she is.

I tried to use this video to juxtapose images of strength/triumph and defeat with Makoto. That should become fairly evident a few seconds in. But I also wanted to show that no matter how she gets hurt or who leaves her behind, Makoto will always weather the storm.

The song is "An Angry Blade" by Iron & Wine. I hope you enjoy.

This fanmix has been a long time in the making. But like most of my projects, I worked in big spurts over a long period of time rather than a song here and there. Still, it's been hanging around my external hard drive for a good long while, and I am thrilled that I get to share it with the world.

This mix describes their relationship from the first time they see each other, falling in love against their better judgment, having doubts, and then his eventual betrayal and their mutual destruction. But the mix does end on a lighter note with a bonus track that gives hope for a future. I love these two too much not to hope for a happy ending. <3

I hope you all enjoy the mix!

I'm in the mood for taking requests, so in addition to fulfilling some backlogged stuff from this post. Wish I could give you a better explanation than that, but I can't. I just kind of feel like doing some random stuff. I haven't been in the graphicing mood for a long time, and now that it's here, I want to take advantage. So here I am, soliciting my f-list like the icon whore I am. xD





Well, I've got my 5! If you still want me to make you a little somethin-somethin', just let me know over here.

Well, that took longer than I thought. ^^; But I really do mean it when I say there are entirely too many pictures in this photobook.  It's starting to grow on me, but still definitely not my favorite.  I feel like with this and Cheeeeeeez, they've basically given up on building these around a theme, which is unfortunate.  But at any rate, Ayaka still looks gorgeous because she's Ayaka, and I hope you enjoy!

There are several thousand pictures of Ayaka in this photobook, so it's going to take a really long time to get through all of them.  This is a very strange photobook, but entertaining enough I suppose.  I still definitely prefer Moon Doll to Killer X Virgin Road.  Thanks to Ayaka502.Net for the scans.  These are the first 100.  More to follow later this week. ^__^ Please let me know if you like them!

I meant to have this video up in time for Christmas, but I didn't, so here it is for the 3rd day of Christmas I suppose. :)

I'm actually surprised no one has done this before, but maybe they have and I haven't seen it. Here is a tribute to the SMS movie featuring the music "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra, otherwise known as the rocking out metal version of "Carol of the Bells."

I was in the mood for a Christmas-y layout, and I decided to futz around with this picture. I'm just putting up the header here, but if you should want the code I used for my journal, just let me know, and I'll email it. :)

I mostly made this video for my own amusement. I've been asked when and if I was going to make a funny video, and... here you are. Yes, I do have a strange sense of humor.

Hope you enjoy this oddball take on Yuuichirou and Rei, a couple who I'd wager is among the most dysfunctional... at least in the contest of the show. ^.~

The song is "Kiss with a Fist" by Florence and the Machine.
