Site Design, Small Update, Still Breathing

Startyde · Post by **Startyde** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 10:21 am

Taking a breather in between travel (working for a GIS firm was great until I can't come home most of the time *cry*) and thought I'd update with a thing or two in storage. Plus it was time to make the site a lil more starry again.

Anyhoo, take a look if you have time, and for all those ppl out there I love but neglect between life, love work and all the rest, I'm sorry and will make a better effort in the coming days.

Peace always,

I just checked out your update during my daily RS "crawl". I love the new things you've added. The Wordsworth addition is particularly gorgeous, and I love that Devil Lady cel, too.

The new site design is fabulous. I really like the new banner and overall darker look, although the text was a bit hard for me to read. (Probably because I just crawled out of bed after only 4 hours of sleep.

)

Anyhow, great update, and it was wonderful to see your gallery on the RS front page.

Jon-boy!!

So good to see you're still amongst the living.

Your new stuff is really nice (I especially like that wild Ultimicia! Very cool), but I can't keep myself from wandering longingly through your wonderful old stuff... your Big O, your favorite background personified

... And I'm really happy you kept all your old logos too. I think #3 is the first one of yours I remember. I really like #9... who is the pretty couple in that shot?

Even though real life has pulled you away, your site still looks great. So glad you checked in with us!

Startyde! He Lives!
Very nice gallery re-design - cool and dark, just the way I like it.

And that new Delta cel... Wow! She's definitely hot when she's distraught.

Glad to see you're still around and hope to hear more from your global-trotting butt (I'd have said ass, but this is a family forum).

Hey bro,
Nice re-design! Now that you're making $$$, you don't have any time to spend it....LOL. Let's catch up later when you have time to exhale.

Nice work and nice update Startyde!

Yeah, it was a bit tough for me to read the dark blue type this morning when the sun was streaming into my livingroom, but with it becoming darker and with my shades drawn I can read it just fine now.

Nice fan art, esp the one with the group of robots! One of the best Mezzo Forte collections I've ever seen

Welcome back.

I love the new additions - they fit very nicely with the rest of your superb collection.

Love the color in Ultimicia! You can't go wrong with FF fan art.

So glad to see you post and update again!

I love the new look of your gallery along with the updated items. I do have to agree I had a little trouble with the darker blue text, but the brighter blue text looks great.

Hiya Startyde! Glad to see you are still out there. Nice new additions!

I haven't watched Devilman Lady for a while, so I can't place the scene when Kazumi wears that dress, but it is really over the top, especially the lavender rose sleeves. The Wordsworth cel is really striking.

I like the look of the gallery, but, yeah, with my aging eyes I had to highlight the type to read it.

Your site design is very impressive! I really like the giant planet on the main page.

I really like the original artwork section, those are sometime the most meaningful pieces you can own. And you got some great ones these. I particularly like this one.

Thanks for the replies everyone, it means a lot to me that you took the time to respond.

In regard to the few queries:

Shellie: Thanks for looking as always my friend ;P The couple in my 9th site revision was Nina and Astral from Words Worth, a series people don't usually equate with romantic but I find it has its moments.

Golden Boy: Ya man, I'm sorry I've all but disappeared but we'll definitely have to touch base soon.

Tex-Chan, Animeobsessed, Keropi et al: Yup, it seems I have a monitor that is quite bright and seeing on others, the font is too dark. I kind of like it, but for legibility sake I'll make an adjustment.

Vapalla: The shot with Kazumi is from the episode (name and number elude me) where she is in a play or on a movie set. It's just a great shot of her in general I thought.

Thanks again everyone. See you around the forums more.
