new blogskin, i spend around 3hr last night to build it. i like it very much, especially the dark shading effect. it was done using air brush in paint, took me quite a while to do the shading, because the blog background used the combination of a main background picture and a repetition of basic tile pix. so i had to make sure that the shading i did gel up nicely. of course i could have used an additional overlayer of picture with just the shades so that i can simply layer over the shades instead of painting the shade over the background, but the idea only came up after i had already began on the air brush painting, so i just heck care and continued.

the falling leaves are kinda cute too. i took the source code of the falling snow effect from my previous blog and modified it to change the snow into different forms of leaves and increased the number of repetitive leaves to create this autumn falling leaves effect.

maybe i should work on the cursor too. its a bit plain right? with just a bullseye mark.
