+1 Blog Entry: Vampire Knight (01 - 03)
Vampire Knight for me was one of those inexplicable series where I lost patience with the manga, but fell heads over heels in love with the anime. I was perusing the manga section at Borders a little while back and decided to flip through the first volume, but I couldn’t get very far into it at all. It might have been a combination of the heavily stylized artwork (which usually doesn’t phase me; in fact one of the reasons why I checked it out was because I really admire the character design for the series), typical plot intro, or maybe just because I was in a rush for time and found the reading more tedious than I was in the mood for. However I did think with a fair amount of certainty that I’ll probably love this as an anime. So when I heard Vampire Knight was being released this spring I was really excited to see if my hunch proved itself right. And happily it did - the first episode made me go, “THIS is why I love shoujo!!”

In Other Site News...
I made a couple of changes to the site, mostly due to crap's retirement from the site. The customization section is gone, since I'm not familiar with the process of desktop iconage and can't really contribute to that section in the foreseeable future. I also deleted crap's old blog, that being one of the things he specifically asked for, and added a new blog for me - Note to Self. It might seem weird since I have one here already, but this "second" blog should be more like the average write-and-post blogs than Conceptual Port, which will continue to be an extended gallery. That's it for now - more later :]
Jeux Deau
I delayed this wall release to fix pixel ellipsis, which made me really sad because I think this is one of my favorite recent walls. The brighter palette is really unusual for me and I credit that to my awesome new (mostly white) VS, so I'm looking forward to making some brighter walls to go with the theme. This wall was also made to promote Moar Plz! It's a new project where you wall other people's requests in order to make your own request for whatever wall you like. Should be a lot of fun so definitely check it out ;D
Gallery Offline
Due to what seems to be a widespread hacking attack, the wallpaper gallery is partially dead. I'll be attempting to deal with the problem so the gallery may be offline (or looking strange) for hopefully not too long.
/Update: Back up, but not quite fixed. Meanwhile if something looks weird, drop a line in the SB :] Tweaks will probably continue for a while...
In Site News...
I'm sad to announce that crap has retired from pixel ellipsis. This site started out as our brainchild and couldn't have existed or come this far without him. I'll miss seeing him around the site as I'm sure all of you are as well. Best of luck to crap in his future endeavors and of course, the door here will stay wide open for him in case he ever feels the urge to create/share cool artsy stuff again.
With that said, I plan to stick around here for a while. I still really enjoy anime/manga/walling and having the site gives me good impetus to indulge in those activities. A few things will change here and there on the site, but at its heart pixel ellipsis will continue to be a place to find neat wallpapers. Thanks to everyone who's supported us thus far and I hope everyone will continue to enjoy visiting pixel ellipsis as I carry on x]
