Thurday (A Blog, Portfolio, and Review Site): The First Hour: Strange Paradise

Title: Dies Irae
Webmistress: Sarissa

Description: You may remember Sarissa from her previous sites, Arcadien and even Nightshade. However, Sarissa is back with Dies Irae and I must say that this site is my favourite of the bunch. It's dark and completely appealing to me. Even though Dies Irae may seem dark, Sarissa is able to produce colorful layouts that are more than just "dark." If you like a seemingly grungy, darker site, that also comes with colorful content, you'll love Dies Irae.

Title: Tetra Colored
Webmistress: Ellen

Description: I've known Silver/ Ellen ever since I first started designing. Back then she was my sponsor and good friend. After I got my first domain, we lost touch, however, when Allay Pain opened, we went right ahead and became affiliates! And of course, she's my affiliate still and the true goddess of blending! Ellen can work with practically anything and blend it to perfection, and her blending style is something you don't see everyday. You may remember Ellen from her previous site Inori, but her portfolio is just as amazing, if not more, so go and visit Tetra Colored!

Title: Sacralia
Webmaster: Mikhail/ Mikey

Description: It's funny really how I first met Mikhail, and my first impression of him was not a good one. However, through emails and MSN conversations, I've learned the true side of him and he's grown on me. It's also very rare to see male designers in the community. Sacralia is a large site with many layouts for you to choose from. And from those layouts, there are the ones that are beautiful. And from the very first visit, you just know that Sacralia is one of those sites that you just can't get away from.

Title: Surrealle
Webmistress: Ariane

Description: Some may remember Ariane from her Winter Skies days, and I as a matter of fact do remember her from back then. Her site was a site I had visited time and time again, but at the time, the community was at its roughest peak, and Winter Skies closed. However, after a year, I receive her application in my mailbox and find out that Ariane is back with Surrealle! I didn't know what to expect, but upon the first visit, I was blown away by how much she's changed (you can tell by the way certain pages are made up) and how much the overall "vibe" of her site has changed as well. She's another talented icon maker and Surrealle also houses other genres of her creations. This time around, I must say that I hope she sticks around.

Title: OVERDOSE
Webmistress: Michelle

Description: Michelle is the previous owner of the well known Silver Winds and now she is back with her portfolio OVERDOSE (which, by the way used to be known as Asphyxia). OVERDOSE houses a wonderful collection of layouts as well as others for download. She provides many useful resources and her brushes as well as textures definitely deserve a look at. OVERDOSE is a top-notch portfolio and it's no doubt that Michelle is a talented individual. Not only do you get to gawk at her digital works, you are also able to do so for her traditional artwork.

Title: Silent Rhapsody
Webmistress: Qin Pei

Description: Qin Pei and I can relate in many ways. We both love working with earthy color tones and most of our creations are darker and earthier. This girl has amazing photo manipulation skills, and each of her creations hold a deeper meaning to them. Although she does not update much, what she does have on her site will leave you coming back for more, if only to look at the same creation again and again. Silent Rhapsody has evolved beyond belief from its earlier days to the masterpiece it is now!

Title: automnEternel
Webmistress: Chiaka

Description: Some of you may remember Chiaka from her Aikou days, but in my opinion, she has improved so much, and there's such a bright future waiting for her. She's a very dedicated webmistress and very modest, not at all arrogant. She has a wonderful personality and from the instant that we met, I just knew that we would get along. After a long hiatus/ revamp, Chiaka is back with automnEternel, which promises to be everything that Aikou was not. Although Chiaka and I had a somewhat strange meeting (which all began with an email), I decided to affiliate with her when she got her new site back up. She strives to bring something different to the table, and I look forward to see all of her future works.
