^Elandria has graciously allowed me to use her stock rules, which I have altered very slightly. Please go check out her wonderful stock!

Been feeling bleh for a few days but getting better. The sinuses do not like me.

Going to start the uploads again and emptying out the message box.

Went through my gallery a little last night since I was restless and couldn't sleep. My most downloaded stock item is the bloody hand print I made for shelldevil's mini texture contest. It's a PNG with a transparent background. In fact the most downloaded items in my gallery are the transparencies I've made. They aren't the stocks with the most favorites however, the top 3 favorited stocks haven't even been used in any art. ( that I know of anyway. ) So maybe a poll is in order to see what people want more of? I've never used a poll so I don't know how useful they are, we'll see! Also, since the PNGs seem to be getting so much use, I've made a bunch that I'll be uploading after this post. I hope they'll be useful!

Features!

It's winter here in the northern hemisphere and Old Man Winter has certainly been shrouding France in his chilly embrace! It's been very frosty here. And that is the theme, frosted.

And a lot of it! I asked for snow so I could take winter stock photos and wow did I get it. It has been snowing straight here for several hours and so far doesn't look like it will be letting up. Visibility is pretty low but I think I managed to get some nice winter pictures to share. Just about froze my legs off doing it though!

I'm still sorting through and editing my photos from my trip to America, so I'll be uploading my new winter stock from today and yesterday along with those.

I'll probably add some featured winter stock from other artists once I've gone through mine a little, so keep a look out!

I'm back! Well, I got back a few days ago but I've been lazy with jet-lag. This is just a quick entry to say hi to everyone and let people know that I'm slowly going through my message center. ^^

I think I got some interesting stock on my trip and I'll put a couple of things up tonight. I hope everyone likes beautiful skies!

I have been lazily attempting to design my own journal skin... While I have the design all.. er designed, it's the CSS I need to figure out. Yay! I'm sure I'll get there eventually, but for now I shall use this lovely skin. On to more interesting news..

I will be out of the country for a fortnight this coming week. Off to the states, hooray! And getting married! Ohmy! That's right, getting married. ^^ Wish us luck!

My comments and replies will probably be sparse during this time, but I'll get back to them all I promise. My uploads will probably be on hold too, but I will try to get lots of stock images from the states if I can. ^^

While I'm gone here are some people to go check out:
