The darker tint on the top looks good, as well as the blue hues you're going with. That suite really well! The golden colours with the blue look nice, but if you just want to switch them around to satisfy our curiousity as how it would look, and then decide which is better, then be my guest! I'd be interested to see too. Sure, go ahead with what you want to attack on the "Travels" skin, as well as those images I sent you...can't wait! Why not give the blue star background image I sent you a skin name using "Serina"? Gentle Blues always remind me of Serina and her dress...so that star field with mostly blue in it(as opposed to the other which has quite a lot of hot pink through it), would be lovely dedicated to Serina. What do you think? Maybe the other could have Sheba or Athena's namesake... As for the avatars, that sound like fun! All those suggestions are just great. I like it! Gives members a lot of choice. If you like, delete out the default avatars that in there..as they are really boring and well, I wouldn't want to use those anyway! Just put in all those that you are thinking of adding in. I have one more suggestion for avatars. If you're going to add in some from the Labyrinth, and Dark Crystal...then I think some from "The Never Ending Story" would fit right in! (Noah Hathaway..certainly it fits! ) In regards to my signiture ...um my sig is just typed in, with a little flower gif added in from my photobucket account. As well as the Apollo/Serina pic. I'll PM you with the code and all that for you.

You read my mind! I was actually thinking of calling the "blue" background and skin "Serina's Window"! How weird is that? I'm picking up your creative vibes here! Anyway, yes the hot-pink background/skin I shall call "Athena Adrift", "Athena Startrail" or "Sheba Echoes" Oh thanks for reminding me of the 'Neverending Story' for avatars, also I forgot a very important avatar set that would include 'Logan's Run', how could I forget that! Must be tired. I get up and check things and I'm still really asleep! LOL! I'm switching the colors around just to see how they do. The blueish switched with the golden. I'll leave it so you can see when I'm not here atm. Thanks for sending me the code for your sig. Here is what it could look like... True grace and style come from within. Being a Siress is as much a state of mind, as it is a title! - The Last Piscon Siress Lotus Sunrise

One more note, I really need to check out your and Senmut's stories and all the other posts I haven't read yet. So I'll try to get to that soon!

Being a Siress is as much a state of mind, as it is a title! - The Last Piscon Siress Lotus Sunrise Firstly, I'm enchanted that you're thinking the same thoughts! (Wierd? Nahhh...I think we're just hanging around eachother too much....JUST KIDDING!) ;D The names you have already thought up for the extra starry skins, for Serina and Athena or Sheba, have a real nice mystical and dreamy sound to them. Nice! Logan's Run....Can't place the show, heard of it somewhere...I must be living in a cave again... I actually didn't realise you did the ole switch-a-roo with the colours...I log on and then I usually get side tracked with any messages. Sorry...I'll go have a proper look at it. From the text reply box, I don't see any changes. (You need a coffee by the way? you sound all sleepy when you log in here..LOL) HEY PEOPLE! If you see our mistress sleep walking along the corridors of the starliner...don't be alarm. ;D Just don't open any air locks in the meantime...We don't want her floating back to the colonies.. Oh and thank you very much for the signiture changes. I like it. I hadn't realised you could center the pics and text. I only added in the word "Designs" for my Lotus site. It just reads a bit better that way. Otherwise, the Italic is a nice touch. Thanks hon!

Aww, you're welcome! Yeah, I think I'll probably go look at more textures though. The reddish texture for the top works well, but I think we need something else for the bluish and golden textures. Something less...what's the word? Swirly.
Oh and 'Logan's Run' is that sci-fi legendary film about the Sandmen and the Runners. And one Sandman (played by Michael York) and a potential runner, Jessica 6 (played by Jenny Agutter) team up and escape the domed city where they have the everyday ritual called Carousell. They have these little "life clocks" in the palms of their hands. If you've never seen this, you gotta rent it or buy it or something and see it! It's awesome!

Hmmm..Logan's Run is sounding a bit "Dr Who-ish"...in a way. Which I only really got into watching recently, as my guy loves this sci-fi show. (He's a mad enthusiast in fact...)
I'll keep my eye out for Logan's Run though, sounds interesting. I'm just wondering though if at some point you make a banner to fit with all the skins available, then is the current temporary banner (with the red) very vital to perfecting it's colour, if we replace it eventually with an official banner? Just wondering.

Logan's Run was filmed in 1977, but it has a very timeless quality to it. The special effects, of course are dated but it doesn't take anything away from the film. The plot is based on a book written about the future. A dystopian society although everyone believes they are living in some utopian society, except for the few who know there's something wrong. I won't give away the plot, but I can recommend the movie very highly if you love sci-fi. It's even a kind of love story, too.
The banners! You know if Hawke would insert the BSG-type lettering, I could make some and send them to him for finishing? I hope. I just don't like the fonts I have available to me. I don't have any BSG fonts or any that I feel would suit. So I'll need some help with the banners.

I'm sure Hawke could do that, or send you the BSG font.

Hi Hawke, well font sites don't really carry BSG fonts. So best to send me an email. I'll PM you here in a minute with my email address. I'd post it here but, well, you know...safety reasons. Can't be too careful on the www.

Got it! But how to use...? Yeah I'll need your assistance. How do I use it with MicroSoft Picture It Express 9? This is where I'd do the banners...

Right click on the font, install it. Reboot the computer. It should appear in your font list on whatever program you use.

I'll have to get back to you on that...but progess report tonight!
I got rid of that LINE in the background image for the Cassie skin so now it's seamless. I finally found something that looks good as a texture for the boards on the Cassie skin!
Hawke, if you can get the texture you see on the main boards of the Cassiopeia Burst skin to do that on the inside boards, that'd be great!
I'm also going to try to get the Serina's Window skin done tonight. I have dance classes on Monday evenings and it looks like I'll probably be doing the classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays too so I'm going to try to get as much done now that I'm home and have a chance to work on this project.
Update again!
Okay I've got, at least, the foundation for Serina's Window skin laid out. By no means is it near finished! The blue of Serina's garb that she wears for the ceremonial party didn't really fit well with the background, but textures will allow more for that than block colors.
More to come...

Update Again! Okay as of October 26 I had gotten rid of that line from the Cassiopeia photo on the background of the Cassie skin and a foundation for the Serina's Window skin laid out. So what I got done now was uploading the Cassiopeia background photo to a faster loading host, and just about got all the colors worked out on Serina's Window skin. All that's left is the addition of some textures. Now, I'm wondering, what to do about the News Fader. How do we put in a texture for that, instead of a block color? I just don't get the News Fader and wouldn't you know that even Hawke had some issues with that chunk of code! Also the Egyptian icons can be placed on transparent plates so that you don't have that white background. Like on the Eye icon. But Hawke will have to do that. I don't have Adobe or anything like that. Unless I'm totally missing something. Which is possible! LOL! I'm going to upload the photos that our lovely Siress sent me to a faster host, because at the moment Serina's Window background is on a very slow host. But I'll do that later on. Because I want to get the other one uploaded and ready to create a skin for the second photo she sent me. But the Cassie skin should show the background pic fairly fast now. The skin for Serina's Window is about done.
