In its early days, this World used to be all about smart discussions and posts and stuff like that. But since I hardly write articles now because of the lack of time, this World is now a place dedicated to showcasing whatever I do that doesn't relate to blogging about my life (which is already covered in this World). So, in a nutshell, this place is for graphics and resources.
Browse (most of) my stuff here by tags:
I take icon requests, so PM me or write me a comment :3 And feel free to use the stuff I make: you don't need to credit me if you use icons, but I'd appreciate some credit for the rest. If you'd like to see the other things I make, check out my Corner of Art.

Important News, Landmarks and Events of TheO [last update: 27th of October, 2012]
I took the time to browse through the news archives and selected the most important ones, from the point of view of a newbie to this site ^_^ If you have questions, hope some are answered here; if not, you can ask me directly. I've decided to dedicate an entire post to this, since it was a very long list. You can browse the site-related news by year by clicking this link.

Another project that's been lying around for ages - specifically, since at least 2010. Came across it when doing a cleanup of my Projects folder and, since I kinda like how it turned out, I couldn't bear to just delete it. It was originally supposed to be a wallpaper but I was never really inspired to do anything with it; the farthest I ever got was this and I wasn't satisfied with it.
Original screencap (at original size):
I made this for a Halloween wallpaper challenge. Considering I may or may not have time to make said wallpaper, I'm at least uploading this vector; I may not end up using it after all, but at least it'll be up for someone else to use :) The Halloween version came up as a last step, I didn't plan on making it from the get-go but it looked good so I said, why not? And there you have it. Unfortunately, I had to leave out some parts, like the tattoo on her arm and the mechanical wings on her back. The tattoo is impossible to make out in the screencap and I couldn't find any good images of it either, and the wings didn't look that good. I debated whether to include that playmate bunny tail too, but in the end I left it there ^^" I had a lot of fun working with different kinds of shading, though - cel, gradients and painted - and I absolutely love how her tiara thingy came out <3

Another project off the list, and I'm telling you it feels damn fantastic. I actually finished this on the same day as the Swan Princess one, but held off on submitting it because MT was buggy. Now, Webs is buggy and I can't put it on my site ;A; Does it work for any of you guys? I can't even load it.

Techbabble:
- started in December 2009, finished in July 2012 ('cause that's how I roll)
- 73 layers, 11.7 MB
- the colors for the alternative versions were chosen by hand (a.k.a. not just overlaying just a color on top of everything)
- original version was the red one
- green one looks like lettuce
- peach one is my personal fave
- the bottom part of the dress doesn't make sense to me ಠ_ಠ

Yay, another finished vector! This time I also made a simple version, for those who prefer the original animation style; couldn't keep myself from adding more shading~ Lips are simple in both versions since I failed at getting them to look good.
It's 2 a.m. and I've had an energizer and I've got classes tomorrow and I can't sleep.
I am ded. I think I've used up all my vectoring fuel for a while, I dunno how the hell I managed to finish this in one day >_< Anyway, you know me, I always take the long way around; originally I offered to only extract this image, but I ended up saying "to hell with it" and vectored it. I am NOT doing the wings, I'm ded.

Stitched together these two scans: one, two. Coat front reference from here. Skin tone reference from here.
Close-up of his eyes: click.
And if you're wondering, 6700 x 14200 really is the original resolution I vectored this in.
In other news, the new Achievements section (on the right of the page) of MT really cracks me up. I am now aiming for maximum attention whore level. Yanno, just for kicks (as if I would ever be that popular, I'm antisocial by definition XD).
