NEW LAYOUT?!

2009-09-20T14:02:00.001-07:00

Hey there everyone, Ripple IS back. I know I've been neglecting this site a lot but I'll try my best to start anew. I just stole another layout from Sandstar, but she's too awesome for words at graphics and coding so I just had to!

Lately I've been really caught up with roleplay sites, especially real life ones. Including my very own, adminned by myself and Michaela (Schemes), Charcoal Eyes. Do visit! So I've mostly been making graphics with celebrities in them for these sites, and those don't show off too much talent, which is why I'm not spamming up this place with those.

By the way, the freebie site is updated. Though I've been mostly doing requests, so there's not that much new stuff. I'll try to strike up some muse again.

long time no see seeee

I haven't posted in FOREVER. Oh wellll. I had this huge inspiration spring, so here are some stuff.

Yes, these all suck. 8D

For some odd reason, two links aren't working.
And they're my favorite ones. >>

I WISH I COULD BUBBLEWRAP MY HEARRRRT

2009-05-03T15:15:00.000-07:00

I don't feel like sharing the failness of the shop requests I did. But I would like to share this siggie, which I think turned out pretty good:

Here's another update....Yeah, I've really been busy with graphics lately, huh.

Yeah that's it...

2009-03-24T15:25:00.000-07:00

Wow. I can't believe I am updating this like months later. I completely slacked off on this. D= Okay, I'll just post up some of my recent ones...I'll show you the ones I made Sunday and yesterday.

Yeah...I don't feel like explaining. XD Just to let you know - I'm baaaack. =)

Improved....?

2009-01-12T14:10:00.000-08:00

Haha, ewwww. Okay, I entered this Most Improved GB at Ww, and I'll give you my old and new. I will admit that I think I have improved lots, but still. The new one isn't really good enough I guess. I've gotten no votes so far, haha. XD

_.old
_.new

Haha, proof right there while no one's voting for me.

Rest of Merry Christmas presents!

Merry Chistmas! [and Happy Hanukkah!]

2008-12-13T04:39:00.000-08:00

Yes, I know there's still less than 2 weeks, but since the Ripples is leaving for China on Wednesday, I want to make sure everyone gets their presents before I leave. <3

Note - These are not all of them. And also - I apologize if I did not get a present for everyone, I have been extremely busy lately.

Force - You've already seen yours, but I would like to show it off here. <3

Creamy - I apologize for the plainness of yours - but since your birthday is coming up so close...I think I'll save the bigger present for then. ^^

Squirrel - I apologize for the crappiness of yours. D; I kinda rushed on them, because I'm being pressured to finish a lot of work. However, everyone else likes it so, I hope you do too.

More to come - Schemes, anyone else if I have time

Also - I have a GBA entry I want to show you guys! I'm going to completely fail against the entries that were submitted D;

Again, Happy Holidays everyone!

The first one is for Roseshine, the second one is for Flameth, and the third one is a GB entry. =P I'm screwed in that graphics battle though. I mean, Sandstar's in it. Also, all the other entries are like...amazing. XD

December! Brrr.

2008-12-02T15:04:00.000-08:00

It's that holiday season again! So, let's kick it off with a snowy siggie!

.december

From left to right;

For Lilysong -- For Milkeh -- For Berryfrost. I left out Skyfeather's, cause it's ugly. XD

So, here's the siggies, they're pretty much all crap --

.we are one
.aria
.skyfeather
.dream
.berryfrost

And zomg. I so cheated in this one, but it's awesome. I followed a step-by-step tutorial, and redid this person's manipulation through the tutorial.

.atlantis?

Yes. I wasted 2 hours of my time to make something I will never use or give away (while I should have been doing requests, making Christmas presents, all that stuff). =D

I'm thinking of choosing another picture for my siggie. I need another one. That one doesn't work very well for a number of reasons. Any suggestions? =o It's gotta work with every color!

WUHWUH IS BACK. <3333

2008-11-23T15:36:00.000-08:00

Yaaaaay, our dear Wuh-wuh is back. <333

^-- The first is the matching avatar to a "Springtime" siggie I will be posting shortly. The second one is just a random one from the past that I added in so it doesn't look weird with just one. XD

And what's this? A NEW SHOP LAYOUT/BANNER? =o

.shattered hearts

And I got a few little siggies...

.lonely roads
.springtime

And now I just realized how I screwed up the lyrics/text on the Lonely Roads one. XD

And a photomanipulation-y type thing! =D

.the best day

I need a different picture for that, but it shows the motherly love. =3

And I will be updating the Freebies site with most of what you have seen here. ^^

Oh yes, and we have a Shoutbox added on that site! =D

WTF.

2008-11-21T12:35:00.001-08:00

Okay, first of all....WHERE THE HECK DID WW GO? o__o I remember this happening before in the past, but still, I'm creeped. o.e

Um, I have a signature made for the Ww-GB. IT'S COMPLETE POOP. 8D

.blinded by your light

And for those awesome people who still actually follow this blog - You get a sneak peek of my December signature. ;D

.december

And, I think I forgot to put this up last time. It's my UGLY entry for the Run Free GB. x3

.run free

ALSOALSOALSO. I'm working on a Freewebs page for graphics that you can all take without my permission. =D So, they're like freebies. WHEE. ^^

{{ edit. OOHOOH. =D I've finished posting up the partner-site to this blog, where you can find all the graphics I've made that you can take for free! If you want the photomanipulations, please contact me somehow and ask for a clickie, or if you want - an avatar. I will not be changing any of the text, however, unless it's minor. Like you want a word "he" changed into a word "she" or something. But nothing major. ENJOY.

'Tis Been A Week

2008-11-16T10:51:00.000-08:00

Since I updated!

And yes, I will update now.

First is the qualifying GB entry for the Ww-wide GB. The second is a matching avatar for Icewhisker [the signature will be posted below]. The third is a matching avatar for Scourgie [signature will be posted below]. And the last is a random one I made, and the signature will be posted below as well.

.scourgie
.proud & strong
.rescue me

Please ask before taking. ^^

.EDIT Oh, and by the way, I have just added up Schemes' blog - Hides Behind Music. She's awesome at coding and graphics, and you should really check her blog out! <3

Update! =D

2008-11-09T08:15:00.000-08:00

I have finished two requests in my shop. ^^

The first one was for Intricate, second for Briar, and third is a new avatar for myself.

Now for teh siggehs!

.intricate
.briar

^^ There you have it. I would add the new signature for myself, but it's just..really simple. XD

.EDIT Actually, since I'm changing the color scheme every month (I know, the orange one was for October x3), I'm gonna show you this month's - Purple! (I have no idea what purple is supposed to do with November) I revised it a little bit this time though (there's spaaaarkles this time). ^^

.ripple - november

Somewhere...over the rainbow...

2008-11-04T13:14:00.000-08:00

Um, yeah. Pay no attention to the title.

I have just entered a GBA, called Colors of the Rainbow. I have provided this in a Tinypic link, because you were not supposed to give the mood/emotion, and the title of the corresponding mood was in my Photobucket link.

I'm going to make this a sort of a contest, each person gets two guesses (you must post one guess first, and if I dismiss it, you can post the second). The first person will get a specially made graphic by me( a signature and avatar), and another graphic of your choice (signature, avatar, banner, book cover, large photomanipulation <-- those will be the only ones available!). Once I give permission, you may post your two requests in my shop, whether it be closed or not. And I will do yours first out of all of the people waiting there, and I will try to make them the best quality as possible. Keep in mind that the harder you make it, and the more conflicting the photos are, the less quality it will be, because I will be forced to try to comply to your request, leaving me little creative space. ^^

So, guess away!

.EDIT Oh wow, I'm really stupid. I forgot to post the link;

can you guess the emotion?

NaNoWriMo Blog!

2008-10-27T17:28:00.000-07:00

I have created a side-blog to document my journey through NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. More information is presented in that blog. Please visit it! The link is here; Inspirational Dreams -- NaNoWriMo 2008

PLEASE look at the previous two posts if you haven't already, feedback is needed!

Shop Requests = FINISHED!

2008-10-26T12:36:00.000-07:00

Ahhh, finally, I have finished my shop requests! No, the shop is [u]not[/u] open, since I have a lot of other stuff to finish, but it feels good to finally have that huge list off my back.

These are requests for Moonpelt, Flintfang, and Lilysong. =)

This is an updated version of Phantomfire's last signature;

.miss you II

If you haven't viewed my last entry yet, PLEASE do so! I need feedback on the Eragon bookcover!

Finally, another update!

2008-10-25T14:36:00.000-07:00

I am back with two more updates! The first is a signature I made for my best friend who recently joined Ww as Pebblefrost. And the second one is a finished request for Phantomfire. ^^

.pebblefrost
.miss you
.miss you avatar

.EDIT What's this? I have another one? This has nothing to do with Warrior's Wish, but I wish to show it all to you. In English class, we were assigned to design a book cover for a book we have read. I chose to do Eragon. I'm still deciding between using a photomanipulation and a drawing. I've finished the photomanipulation version, and I would like you all to look at it, and see if symbolism is correct, color themes, target audiences, etc. Just check and see if it looks suitable for an Eragon book. =)

'Older Posts' Link = UP!

2008-10-07T13:53:00.000-07:00

As you may have seen, some of my older posts have disappeared. I tried an Older Posts code, but it never seemed to work. I finally consulted Sandstar, since I know she had an older posts link that worked perfectly in her old layout, but for some reason, it doesn't work anymore. So she showed me a different code to put it. And now it works fine.

However, what it will do is take you to a page where every single post there has ever been on Inspirational Dreams is shown, including the ones that you can see on the main page. It's annoying since the old code, it would just take you to a second page almost, with the older posts that cannot be seen on the main page.

That's all we can do right now, it's the best solution I[well, Sandstar] can come up with. And I thank her for helping me and explaining the code as well to me. <333

WHO LIKES DRAGONS? I LIKE DRAGONS!

2008-10-05T10:25:00.000-07:00

A little change from the usual. Instead of posting graphics, I'm going to be posting drawings! 8D

I've recently drawn Thorn and Glaedr, from the covers of Eldest and Brisingr. [Unfortunately, I lost my Eragon cover, so I can't draw Saphira! D=]

There are so many things wrong with these that I can point out, and that are so significant to me, it's all I can do to ignore them....I may fix them later [if I'm not too lazy]. But I think they turned out okay. =) This was my first time drawing dragons, too. ^^

.glaedr

Happy Birthday, Skyfeather! [-cough-]

2008-10-04T09:53:00.000-07:00

I can't believe I didn't post this on my blog sooner. >> It was Skyfeather's birthday on Monday, and I did give her a birthday thread on that, but I somehow neglected to post it on here. Stupid me.

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SKYFEATHER

And, here are her gifts [I'm really proud of them];

-dance- Update, update, UPDATE!

2008-09-26T18:20:00.001-07:00

I've finished two more requests, and once Moonpelt retreives her request, the shop will be open!

I made a Pikachu graphic for Icefire's, it's not too professional looking. I think it's cute though, and it was really fun to make, that's for sure.

.pikachu signature
.pikachu avatar

And, this is the banner for Moonpelt's shop layout. -will not give you all the dividers, cause that would be a bore-

I really like this one. -chuckle-

.in the end

And, by the way, I have posted a link to Silvee's blog, Darkest Melodies. I really adore the layout, though she hasn't gotten around to updating it too much. I can't wait til she does though! <3

Ew. This turned out crappy.

2008-09-21T11:43:00.000-07:00

EWWW. I hate how these turned out. D; They're ugly shmugly.

These were for Moonpelt and Skyfeather's sis. x3

.howling winds
.wild and free II

Icefire's and Moonpelt's shop layout, then my shop is opppeeennn. I should really make some for-fun graphics after this. x3

Another update!

2008-09-20T15:52:00.000-07:00

Yay, Ripple finally has another one. -faints- This was a request for Rainflower, and I really let loose on the avatar. I really liked it how that turned out, though I don't know if that was what she wanted.

.update -- 9.10.08

2008-09-10T18:54:00.000-07:00

Yaaay. Updateupdateupdate!

I just finished two requests for my shop. One for Blueh, and the other for Flames. I'll share with you both of them, though I am really proud of Blueh's. <3

Blueh's is first, then Flames'.

2008-09-08T15:54:00.000-07:00

Whoa, there's a new Ww! I really really like it, actually. Love the layout. If you guys haven't moved yet, just go here;

&.warriors wish version.4 |

And...my new shop over there is right here;

&.shattered hearts |

=3 Mhm.

On a note that actually relates to this blog; I will probably be updating quite soon, my shop requests list is almost stocked, as well as a custom request from the Requests bord I need to finish up. So, yeah, expect an update soon. ;D

Music Player!

2008-09-07T12:04:00.000-07:00

Yaaay, I added in a new music-player. 8D I absolutely love how you can edit the colors. <3 Some artists on there are Tokio Hotel, McFly, Paramore, Leona Lewis, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, My Chemical Romance, and Panic! At the Disco. I will probably be adding more soon, though.

Update - 9.6.08

2008-09-06T17:21:00.000-07:00

Next day, another post. Yaaay. It's cause I finally got around to filling my shop requests. XD That reminds me, I gotta update the first thread so it's open. -forgot- Oh well, I'll show you guys what I made first. I'll leave out Moonpelt's, cause I really don't like how it turned out...Though I personally do like Runningfire's, it was so fun to make.

Yaaay. Enjoy. Grimace. Celebrate. Do whatever. XD

The Blog's Up! [I think]

2008-09-04T12:37:00.000-07:00

Hi there, everyone! This is Ripple here, after a few days of research and consulting more experienced bloggers, I finally found out how to let my posts show on the main page. [I know, wooow.] And for the skin to work in the first place. o.o; I won't be posting any graphics today, though prepare for a HUGE list of graphics the next time I post.

Yeah, there's nothing special here yet..........But the blog's up! [or at least until I find some other problem to deal with] Now, for that comment box....-grumbles and slumps off to find code-
