And we’re back …

For those of you following the blog, you’ll have noticed that we had a bit of a problem over the course of the past few weeks. I’m not sure exactly what to tell you guys, but the short explanation would be that one of my plug-ins decided to become corrupt while I was performing and upgrade.

The rest of it is pretty much history – it caused something along the lines of an infinite loop, which gave my hosting server some hassles, as I suppose it would in most cases. I’m not going to go into all the technical details – but the offending plug-in has been removed, so everything should be back to normal, barring one or two missing pieces, which shouldn’t affect any visitors – it was part of the back-end admin.

If you are wondering what I was keeping myself busy with in the time that I couldn’t create posts – I was happily plugging away in Photoshop – my large collection of manga has been giving me plenty of material to work with for fanart, and in response to some of the comments I’ve been receiving from friends I’ve created a Deviant Art account to brag with. If you would like to visit – head off to my Deviant space. I’m not doing it full time or anything, but I should have new things up every few weeks or so.

In addition, I’ve purchased a new domain – which will also go by the name Stellar Illusions. I’m a bit ambivalent about what I intend to do with it right now, although I’m considering – once I have my first AMV completed – using it as the name of my AMV and art production studio. And of course, building up a group of fellow AMV creators working as members of Stellar Illusions – maybe some day being up there with Random Destination Studios and Premonition Studios. Something to dream about anyways. Anybody interested in joining up?

I don’t intend hosting AMV’s on it just yet – that will cost more than I can shoulder right away – but once again, its something to aim for. AMV’s will be played via YouTube for the most part, with download links to animemusicvideos.org. But that’s still far in the future … in the meantime the domain will remain parked – so don’t hop over there just yet :)

For now, I have a few posts waiting in the wings, ready to be posted – so look forward to those. I’ll have some more news for you later :)
