the Loved

Below are my closest affiliates, sisters, or whatever else you want to call them. I simply call them my friends. These are the incredible designers and writers that I've gotten to know very well over the years, & yes, it has been many. Without them I'd have no inspiration, motivation, or a passion for what I do. ♥

Tamisa is one hilarious girl and a way better graphic designer than I ever will be. Unfortunately, banishing-blade.org has been causing her some problems, so it is still on hiatus. HOWEVER, you can still view most of her works such as sites pertaining to Seifer, Quistis & Gippal. Just check her main domain for more listed. One day she'll rule the world, just wait.

Nell is someone I am so lucky to know! She once dazzled my mind with fukusei.org but then opened her current main domain, darksparrow.org. Her deep admiration of Final Fantasy X and VIII has produced numerous shrines full of endless content and media. She seriously has more shrines than anyone I know and is also part of Balamb.org and is the owner of Amphisbena, a webmaster discussion board. Nell is the glue that holds our gaming & fangirling community together. Sadly, she may be closing her domains to open a photography portfolio - which will be much more managable for her very busy life!

What can I say about Taylor Horror? How about...one awesome biznatch? Taylor is back with the same domain, just now with a hyphen thanks to her previous one being stolen by robots. Yes. People say I have a "grunge" style but I think Taylor truly does, or at least a punk rock design attitude. Anyway, horror-pop.net has been one of my favorites for years now, and I'm glad we've been reunited. There's pretty much a site here for everyone - ranging from video games to fanlistings (to the movie BIODOME ahaha!) and even anime. You know what else you can find at this domain? How about a fansite to Sailor Uranus. Sailor Moon memories... 

Oceanflare.net is an incredible combination of artistic content and fan analysis. Aery's websites range from online galleries, web layout archives, joinable listings, and fansites dedicated to all sorts of characters. Her past domains and current domain have always been inspirations of mine because she is able to combine gorgeous original artistic skills with thorough dedication to content and analysis. Oceanflare is an experience in itself and is for sure, a must see! Anyone else remember her ridiculous animtated vector designs?! Her current favorites of mine include the shrine to Vivi and her long-running tribute to Cait Sith & Reeve. She's definitely now one of my closest webby friends, if not the closest due to our obsessions with tea, hot males, the 80s, and Harry Potter.

Stacey-Anne is the creator of the popular peach-arrow network which pretty much motivated my entire web-design existence. She now runs three domains: the other two are for Ayumi Hamasaki and her massive Final Fantasy VII collective. Her designs are always unique and beautiful and I'm sure they have inspired a lot of other graphic designers out there (even the coding!). We met years and years ago through our Tifa shrines (her's is so unique), but make sure to visit all of her creations, because she has so many. Stacey is also fun to gossip/vent with & we both enjoy those horribly addicting reality show marathons. *Cough* America's Next Top Model, methinks? If you ever have a question about Japanese culture, go ask her. :P

Soul-Perch is the spunky Emma's BRAND NEW domain which has replaced dragoon.nu! Dragoon will be greatly missed but always in my heart, muhaha. This Irish lady's creations have always inspired mine because Emma is a fantastic writer and has various shrines dedicated to the Final Fantasy Series, which are my favorite games. You'll have to visit yourself because her collection is gigantic, ranging from anime and games to fanlistings. ♥

Affiliates

The following sites are equally as talented as those above, I just do not know them as well as I wish I did. They are still great designers and inspirations for my own work. Affiliation is currently CLOSED, sorry.
