Well, I'm Olivia and this is my blog. I'm not too good at describing myself but you can get to know me and become my friend if you want to. I like to make wallpapers and vectors in my free time. If you're curious and want to find out more about me, check this page ^_^
My main goal isn't having a lot of downloads on my wallpapers, but providing high quality graphics. I try to credit as much as possible, but if you think I used something of yours without permission, please notify me and we will discuss the matter.
Here's my e-mail address, in case you need it: exploring.the.infinity@gmail.com.
I've kind of stopped commenting on artwork. You'll still see me around, but only on better-than-average works. Why? Simply because I've been in the graphics "business" for some time and now I have higher standards than before; also, most of the works here are similar and I've grown tired of giving the same advice, over and over again. Sorry, but you'll only see a comment of mine if I like your work.

My very own personal rules:

  • No stealing my graphics! If you need something I used, just PM me and I'll tell you where I got it from.
  • No guest-book one-liners, "I love your site, I'm addin ya!" or "Visit my site!" stuff! I'll ignore these posts (and the posters). Be creative.
  • Me your friend = you comment on my stuff (posts and artwork). I'm not asking you to comment on each and every one; once in a while is enough :] I don't update too often (once a week at most), so it shouldn't be difficult to come by and leave a comment. If you're busy, I'll understand.
  • If you're PM'ing me to complain about something, provide arguments. I won't pay attention to stuff which doesn't make sense.
  • Moderation: I handle gallery items mainly (wallpapers, to be specific), so if you've spotted some misplaced gallery items leave me a comment or a PM and I'll move them ^_^

If you have a question, please read the rules first. If it isn't answered there, feel free to ask me. Please be polite and I will be as well.

Learn of my awesomeness~

Totally random and out of the blue :o

Just like it says, I felt like posting! Which is rare, because I usually disappear into the mist and am considered dead and buried until making a glorious, last-minute comeback :D I know, I love it too. Wait *checks date of last post*... Oh my gawd it's been 5 days already?! :O *feels weird*
Before my RAM memory gets deleted, a big thank you to all the merciful souls who commented on my last post! ^^ *hugs souls* SweetD appreciates it, even though she sometimes is rude by not thanking for it DX

So... what shall I post about this time? Oh, today we had to draw something in Spanish class! The theme was "Ecology", so we basically had to draw something related to it and come up with a slogan to fit the drawing(s) (or vice versa). We drew a rainbow with bright colors with one side of the paper and a continuation of it, only the continuation had depressing colors -including a color I like to call, in academic terms, "shitty brown" XD Um, we also drew a river without water and with a dead fish in it (I drew the dead fish, which looked like it was floating and was kinda creepy DX) I deserve a 10 at least for the creepy fish :3

Before Spanish, I had English and the teacher gave us some pages of the story "The Emperor's New Clothes" and we had to read them out loud. Boy, was it mind-numbing! We didn't get to read anything, of course, because most of the time we had to figure out who got which character >_< And just when you thought you had a character for yourself, it turned out someone else had picked it! I tried to sleep but couldn't DX That teacher kept coming my way and "giving directions"! Personally, I never understood a thing and am happy I didn't read anything -I was too lazy to do it and that woman wanted to give me the role of the Narrator, which was the longest part! I was too lazy for it XD And exactly when me and a classmate had the roles delimited, a girl came and took our pages away, which left me saying "How the F am I supposed to narrate when I have no sheets?!" ._. *twitch*

This is long! Let's move on to art now. I'm too lazy to make a screencap of my Halloween wallie (and I'm nasty and not showing it anyway), so here's a preview of my in-progress W.I.T.C.H. drawing: clicky here :3 I don't feel like coloring it by hand, so I started coloring it digitally. And more avvies 'cause I know you like 'em :3

So, I lied. I was too busy to change my theme. I did save the set of self-made patterns I usually use and am sharing it here now ^_^ *infinite kindness towards mortals friends (boot in the head)* Clickie here to see/download it (last one), and here for installation help ^^
*hugs* Thank you for visiting my really awesome blog, I love you all! :D I've been a bad friend, not visiting you all *innuendo galore* But I promise to visit more ^^ (like I do each time I post DX) Anyway, I promise to visit and comment on your posts/artworks :D *hugs*
P.S. Forum talk should be included as correct in the spell check :D

Just say it in broken English...

OK, I promised on my last post that I would post some of my anime OP/ED/songs, and the time has come! I don't have a lot, and most of these are from anime I haven't seen, but I like most of them and I hope you will, too!

The reason I'm not posting a lot about myself is that nothing much happens. i watch movies, go out with friends and work in PS ._. Not a very exciting life. Last stuff I watched were: Shutter (2004), The Descent and an episode of Lost. This is probably going to sound strange, but I laughed all the time throughout Shutter. It's your typical Asian horror flick, where a guy is haunted by the ghost of the girl. You've seen it all if you've seen The Grudge or The Ring. I've honestly had enough of ghost girls and such, I won't be watching an Asian horror film for a looong time ._.

Alas, a complaint paragraph had to exist, right? Sometimes I feel that some of the works on Minitokyo don't really deserve the...hype they get. Like some vectors getting into the Elite Gallery... I won't name anyone, but let's say that if I made one of the vectors that is currently in the EG, I bet it wouldn't get there. I work hard on my vectors and sometimes it's just unfair to see them ignored... I don't have connections around that place, like others do, so I try to rely only on my skills. It's just that most of the time people prefer to view the works of popular people.

Anyway, let's end this post on a cheerful note :) I made another vector! This time it's a screenshot and it didn't take too long, but it was in my Projects folder and I'm glad I finished it! I have a lot of screenshots on the line and a lot of pics from Let's Make Forbidden Love, this manga I've started reading yesterday :3

I'm currently lacking subjects to discuss in my Creative Paradox, so I'd appreciate it if you can give me tips ^^ I was thinking of writing reviews of anime series I've seen and posting them there, how does that sound?
And one more question before I go: if you could/wanted to write a book/story, what would you write about?
My answer: tee hee, it'd probably be an adventure novel ^^ I've tried to write it (wrote 3 chapters), but I'm not too good at illustrating emotions via writing. Maybe I'll be a film director! *daydreams*
Well, that's it. Stay tuned for more from me! (lol) Thank you, everyone who comes by and leaves a comment, it means a lot to me!

Wallpaper, vector and departure

This is kind of a replacement for the post that'll be missing next week, since I'm going on a trip to the mountains for a couple of days. Just thought I'd let everyone know, in case someone worries or wonders why I've suddenly died I hope to come back soon and have more fan art up! I've drawn some more pics from W.I.T.C.H. ut I'm too lazy to scan them and piece them together (they're A3 size) But here is the new stuff:

Wallpaper: When hope is all that's left... Maybe some will wonder what's wrong with me, making it so empty, but I wanted to try a minimalistic approach and my desktop wanted something simple ^_^"

Gosh, I want the ability to post more images in one post Anyway, 2 days ago I finally watched Fight Club and El Orfanato (The Orphanage). EO is in Spanish and we had no subs, and I spent half the film trying to figure out what they were saying (darn it, why do Spanish people speak so fast?!) I got a mild headache after that, and FC didn't help either. I liked it but the ending took me completely by surprise. It's like they grabbed it and shoved it in my face o_O It was a good film, nonetheless.

That's it, my short post is over ^^ Thanks for putting up with my randomness each and every post! By the way, I changed my theme, how does it look? *desperately wants to be able to customize skins more* Hope you have a great weekend, everyone! *hugs*

Yin and Yang, I tell you!

Wow, I sure am lazy when it comes to updating XD I really am sorry for not posting more but it's the end of the semester and things are chaotic around here. Honestly, why did teachers have to remember we don't have enough grades 2 weeks before school ends?! I don't get it. Of course, I've had at least two test per week since the last time I posted and I also have one tomorrow (Maths =_=").

Surprisingly, I got a 9 on the last Maths test! (10 is the most you can get) When I looked at that paper I thought I was going to have a heart attack! XD Needless to say, I was extremely happy the rest of the day, pushing things a bit further when I said to Nico "Man, this is waaaay better than drugs! This is a mental ORGASM!!" Someone slap me for thinking out loud too often XD No, I don't know shnit about orgasms and haven't taken drugs.

Waii~! I've taken a liking to manga recently, more precisely under-appreciated manga! Maybe some of you don't know this but I feel squeamish whenever I like something, only to discover it's really popular afterwards ._. Must be my disturbed personality. I've begun reading (and liking) titles such as Akuma na Eros, Beast Master and others you can find listed here. Some of them are mature series but I like the storylines (and the bishies!! OMG THE BISHIES!!!1!!11 *fangirlnosebleedfaint*) Just take a look at my avatar if you don't believe me XD You know you want to click... The guy's from Love Strip if you're interested :3

What the Hell is up with the vector?! Well, I've decided to stop walling for a while. I'll stick to vectoring. However, I'll only vector images from less-known series I love, so if you like artwork from Code Geass or Vampire Knight or *insert popular-at-the-moment series name here*, chances are you'll have to look for it somewhere else. By the way, the vector is from Beast Master ^_^

Ah, I've gotten to the end of my post without even paying attention to the title itself o_o That's my line, I made it up this Thursday after History class. The Physics teacher said we could go home after History class (we have an hour of Physics before History and one after it =_=), so we were very happy! Then came the History test (we knew of it) which was absolutely nasty Yin and Yang! For a greater good you pay with a suckish event =_=" Damn this philosophy.

And to end this really long rant, I'll say this: I'm really happy because I finally bought A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess! It's the book, and I got it with 3 LEI's (kind of 2 dollars...? I'm not good with currency -_-") cheaper than it would've been via Internet! I can't wait to read it but I have to finish Angels And Insects by Antonia Susan Byatt first.

I hope everyone's doing great, I'll do more visiting next week because I'm too stressed at the moment, having a Maths test tomorrow and a Physics project due on Monday T.T Support is greatly appreciated!! *hugs everyone who gives her support* This bad friend will go cry in her emo corner now because she feels bad for not visiting...
