Welcome to bloogum, the creative home of Annarti and hopefully a lot more active than the last one. The domain is here primarily to hold anything pertaining to the Yrae Chronicles and its feature story, Silent Harmony. The story has been my creative baby since the beginning of 2003, so it's only fitting that bloogum now centres around it and the world in which it lives.
Last updated~ 20 November 2011; Tooth and Claw, the latest of the Llayan fairy tails, added to the Yrae Chronicles page.I am Annarti, a 26-year-old chickadee from Adelaide, South Australia. The first story I ever wrote was in a perfumed little notebook. It was about a horse that had chickens for friends. When I read or watch something that just gets me right there, my hands start hurting. So far, three written stories have done this, and one movie. My earliest memory is from when I was 2. I remember looking down on myself as Mum cradled me in my arms after I'd fallen off a ladder and cracked my skull. Je peux parler Français. Quand les gens ce trouve, la question première est toujours, 'Est-ce tu connais des mots grossier?' ... Merde. I've been to nine countries on my travels. One of them was Tasmania.
The current layout set is yet another Yoshi's Island theme, because I'm due for one of them every coupla years. I love Yoshi lots. This set, though, is focusing more on Shyguys, because they don't get enough love. I copied each of the layouts from a screenshot, colouring them more organically in Photoshop and throwing some paper textures at them to finish it off. That's always been my favourite aspect of the game, the chalk-and-crayon look of the graphics, so I decided to take it a step further to make desktops and, finally, layouts.
