Finally, after hours of working on my very first header, I'm pleased enough to use it for my new journal layout. Of course, I made a Grimmjow/Ichigo header because I'm utterly in love with these two Bleach characters, so a Grichi header it had to be. The header is by far not perfect, but for my very first one it is precious to me! :) I like it. This time I wanted to have a lighter layout. I've grown a bit tired of my past darkish one. I also made the fonts a tad bit bigger than in my previous layout. I hope it doesn't look wonky in other browsers! I only have Firefox 2 and it works fine with it.

Enough talking, on to the credits:

LAYOUT CREDITS:

+ Thanks for the layout basic codes go to wingweaver22 @ fruitstyle.
+ Modifications made by reijamira. I used some handy codes and resources by passing-girl, s2flexisquares and julzroguenine.
+ Bleach header image made by reijamira. Original artwork made by the talented and wonderful Kubo Tite. I used brushes and images by various people from my resource list.

slime711 did this and I couldn't stop laughing so I made my own instant slash story.


( Beware, slashy bad fic! Muahah I wanna hear your LULZ )

Ooookay, righto, here I am back with another rather small set of Bleach icons. This time it's a mostly Grimmjow themed set, because - well yeah I love my evil arrogant Grimmkitty! :)

I promised kishirepantera a Grimmjow put the sex into Sexta icon, but I haven't got around to make one yet. All I came up with so far is a 149x112 animated gif that can be put on the user info or on the sidebar of one's layout. I hope you like it!

I also wanted to welcome all the new people on my flist! *waves* And my little sister, reinanii, who joined LJ a few weeks ago. :)

But now, on to the icons:

Today, after months of lurking around deviantart I finally got myself an account there. I don't know why I'm always so hesitant to join a site I really like. It has been the same with last.fm actually or livejournal. Before I got myself an account there, I spent months using and searching through those sites.

Whenever I frequent a site more than three times a week it's usually clear that I will join it in the end. So I can't understand why I always wait months before I do it. *lol* Strange me!

However, the reason to finally join deviantart was a piece of art I came up with while experimenting a bit with PS yesterday. I wanted to try out a few brushes and some colors and filters and the result I ended up with was rather pretty in my opinion, I really couldn't delete it (which I originally intended). I showed it to only_gremo and she said she liked it as well and she could imagine someone wanting to use it as a header or something. So I thought I could use my deviantart account (I'm also reijamira over there, I know I'm very inventive when it comes to names, heh) to share it.

I named it "Discovery" (Hah, again with the names) because Gremo said one can discover many things in it.

On another matter, I finally finished watching all episodes of Bleach there are so far (that makes 161). And I can only say if you are into anime and don't know Bleach yet, then you should consider watching it! I highly recommend it. It's awesome! Such an interesting plot! And so many sexy as hell characters! My two number one favorite charas are Kurosaki Ichigo, the main character, and Grimmjow Jaegerjaques an evil arrogant bastard. :) Those are just two characters I love but there are so many more. Have I mentioned that Bleach is my new fandom? Have I? I'm sure I have.

In case you are now curious as hell, here you can find more information on Bleach:

+ Wiki article about Bleach
+ bleachfan.de (German) Very good German site.
+ bleachportal.net (English) For everything Bleach related

I'm sure there are more sites out there but so far I've only checked out these ones. If you know one that I should know, please do tell me!

Yesterday I changed my layout. I really needed a change and I was in the mood for a darkish layout. So I made myself one. I'm pretty satisfied with it. For the background I wanted to have some sort of texture and after fiddling around with the PS filters I came up with something that looked fancy enough for my liking. I was a bit sad that I couldn't use the black font color for my entries because when I tested it it was really difficult to read people's posts. So I had to change it to a lighter grey that is much better on the eye and I really like it that way. If you took a look tell me what you think, would you? :)

Today I made some animated icons. I always wanted to learn how to make those. It was really fun working on the gif's. I intend to make more in the future. This time there are only three of them and all are from Bleach. Bleach is such an icon-able anime. I remembered those two scenes from the earlier episodes where Renji and Ichigo had those awesome slashy moments (Well they have them quite often in my opinion. *g*) and I always wanted to icon these scenes. I hope you like the results as much as I do.

And last but not least I also want to share my Bleach screencaps from episode 02, 03 and the Opening & Ending caps part 1.

It's Bleach goodie time. ^__^

First of the screencaps.
