Full collective revamp! This started last month, but there were too many changes to plug them all, so I decided to wait until it was all done and make one plug for everything. The entire collective is now covered in my fanart, everything has more of a personal touch to it and all the sites got some kind of update. They also all have pixel fanart on their apple icons. Everything also got a link clean up, so there shouldn't be any outdated/broken links. Those who follow me on twitter already know about this, but here's the basic summary of my month long revamping process.
Art Site:
Fantasy Bit: New layout and some reorganization, plus a whole bunch of art and pixel updates over the month.
Portals:
Gum Drops: New layout.
Legendary: This one was recently made when I did the collective revamp, so it was already up to date, I just added some links.
City of Swords: Made some changes to the layout.
Fanfiction:
Endless: Added some one-shots.
Freedom: New layout.
Fansites:
Ablaze: This one was pretty new too, so there wasn't a lot to update, I did add a lot of links.
Ren-cake: Revised and added some fanfics.
Dedication: This is what got me started in the whole revamping process, it was the first one I revamped and I already plugged the layout change and new content before.
Surreptitious: Updated the layout and made some minor revisions.
Destiny Eve: New layout, everything was revised, added some pages.
Way Cool: Not much needed to be done here, just added a new icon.
Reset: New layout.
iHime: Updated the layout.
Golden Phoenix: New layout and a PSVita wallpaper.
Mini Fansites: Characters and Couples
Sapphire: Updated the layout and made some small revisions.
Star-crossed: New layout.
Innocent Mischief: Updated the layout.
Mini Fansites: Mini Games
Poke!: Updated the layout.
Virtual Seto: Updated the layout.
Joinables:
Indigo: Not much to change, just a link clean up.
R3: New layout.
Astromechs: Added two special droids on May the 4th, the rumored urban legend astromechs, R0-J3D1 and R0-S17H. :o
Paper Fans: New layout.
Starlight: Not much to change, but I did add some new sites.
Others:
Silver Star: Added screen shots of all the new layouts of course. XD
I had previously considered the idea of doing a full revamp and using lots of fanart, but never did because the project seemed far too big. I'm glad I finally got around to do this. There are still a few small updates to make here and there, but then again, there always are. Now that this is finally done, I'll hopefully be able to catch up with everything else going on, Amassment shop updates (cool stuff is coming!), my creature feature for Mallow and all the backlog of art I have piled up. Maybe I'll squeeze in some Atelier Meruru time in there too. XD Anyway, for those of you who have ever thought a project is too big, just take it slow, step by step and as you do a little at a time, you'll find that it starts to look less impossible. :)
Confetti!

Re: Confetti!
So many new layouts! They all look great, Mikari. I love that you are using your own art now. You're right; it does make your sites feel more personal. Congrats on completing this huge project! :)
Re: Confetti!
Thank you! :D I feel like I care about my sites more now since they're freshly revamp and so personal. XD Destiny Eve probably got the most changes after Dedication and the collective itself. ^_^

Re: Confetti!
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooah. Mika, this is awesome! :D One day, when I'm as brilliant as you - I'll do the same thing!!
Re: Confetti!
Holy productivity, Batman! I love all the little details you have in the layouts - the favicons and the custom mouse pointers and suchlike. :) It's a nice touch. My favourite layout is the one for iHime, the pixels are adorable.

Re: Confetti!
Thank you everyone! :D
@Snow: you can do it! *cheers*
@Emma: I enjoyed getting into the little details, though it seemed like too much of a big task at first, I had fun in the end.
@nyxmidnight: Drawing is lots of fun ^_^ I hope you can do it again soon

Re: Confetti!
Wow! You've been super busy! It's awesome. I love everything you've done. I like how you use your own artwork for all your stuff. It gives me a real "Mikari" feel which I think is pretty cool. It also makes me want to start drawing again but I'm so rusty. x_x;
Re: Confetti!
Thank you! :D You should definitely draw! I spent a long time without drawing because my drawings weren't any good, they're still not great, but I enjoy making them so that's what really counts, right?
Re: Confetti!
Exactly! I'm way too over critical of myself so I expect more than what I'm able to do. I need to change that and draw just because it's fun. xD
