Hey people! So, I've revamped the layouts for ibedesign's main layout and userinfo. I hope they go over well. I'm going to try to backtrack through all of the old entries and fix whatever broken links I can (I know there are A LOT, so it might take me some time). Also, I plan on posting new stuff soon.
I'm excited to revive this place. I've missed it so.
xo,
Jeska

So, WOW, I guess it's pretty obvious that this place has been left unattended for far too long (with the broken images and lack of updates since '06). I apologize for the unannounced and ridiculously LONG hiatus. Anyway, believe it or not, I haven't quite given up on this place just yet.
Unfortunately (or fortunately -- it depends of who you're talking to), I don't have as much free time as I did before. That past two years have been VERY busy for me personally: moving, going back to school, family issues, etc. (I'm sure you're not interested in my life...). Anyway, the point of this update is to say that I DO still intend on keeping this community alive; however, I won't be able to return to posting things as frequently as I did in the past as I now have tons more on my plate in terms of responsibility.
With that said, I love this community, I love being able to share and connect with the wonderful people who choose to visit this place. I promise, I will have ibedesign up and running again as soon as I possibly can.
Again, I'm sorry for abandoning this place the way I did, and I intend on making it up to you guys (or at least attempting to) very soon.
xoxo

So ladies and gents, sadly I have come to the decision that I must friends lock the high res picture entries in this comm. It has come to my attention that some people have been taking photos and re-posting alot of them without bothering to do something as simple as including a little credit link. It's annoying, but if you wish to be able to see any of these entries [past and future ones respectively] you will now have to become a member of ibedesign.

Also, I have started to add to some of the older hires posts. If you go to the list [that is linked to in the main layout] you will see that next to the updated entries is a date stating when it has been edited.

I continue to add affiliates to my list, and I heartily encourage you all to go and visit them once again.

Two communities that I feel obligated to post about by name: whoboys_daily & weekdayradio.

whoboys_daily [as listed in the affiliates]:
a wonderful community dedicated to the lesser known actors whom we adore. created by the great sunflower_daze_, this community provides a place for those of us who aren't only interested in the mainstream.

weekdayradio:
a brand new community in desperate need of members. the brain child of rozillla, it is possibly one of the stupidest [but equally as fun] ideas. show your love for listening and sharing music as well as reveling in how ridiculous the names of the daily themes are.

I also wanna add that I am going to post hires versions of the Jensen Ackles Flaunt spread either tonight or tomorrow, so for all of those who are interested, keep your eyes open for them.

That seems like all I have to say for right now. Stay wonderful people, and thank you for showing your interest in ibedesign!

Love yall,
Jeska

Ok, so it's no secret that I've been very lazy and neglecting this comm. Sorry for all of you who actually CARE. But I'm back now and all is well. I have a few textures, brushes, albums, scans and hqs ready and waiting to be posted, so keep a look out.

Now I don't know if anyone will be interested in this but I was thinking... I have gotten many nice comments regarding my own userinfo. Thing is, I wanna change it soon but before I do, I want to offer the idea to other people. I am willing to make one for anyone who asks. It was fairly simple for me to make, and if anyone is interested in something like it for themselves, feel free to leave a comment and I will get back to you for the specifics.

Also, I'm still working on making ALOT of those little fat people icons. I was wondering if people would like more than just little fat cartoon icons, maybe some friends only banners or lj headers or something else? Tell me what you guys think about that idea so I know before I post them.

You should all check out my affiliates. I've added quite a few more, and each are just as wonderful [if not more] than the next. Show your love people!

Tons of love,
Jeska

So it seems those little fat cartoon house icons were an unexpected hit.

I was wondering if people would like them for other fandoms.

SO alas, we have another poll...

I will start drawing the most requested fandoms first, and try to work my way through them...

[EDIT] the reason i DIDN'T include QAF as a choice, was because I knew it would won by a landslide. I would like there to be a chance for something else to win. I will make QAF ones anyways, so please request something else.

[EDIT #2]:
My goal is to at least draw a few of all of the fandoms below... I don't know right now how many that means. I'll find that out soon enough though.

Final Count:

The 4400 = 3 (5.8%)
Battlestar Galactica = 4 (7.7%)
CSI [LV] = 5 (9.6%)
Grey's Anatomy = 5 (9.6%)
Empire Records = 3 (5.8%)
Farscape = 3 (5.8%)
Firefly = 0 (0.0%)
Labyrinth = 4 (7.7%)
The Office [US] = 3 (5.8%)
Prison Break = 4 (7.7%)
Supernatural = 4 (7.7%)
Veronica Mars = 9 (17.3%)
Wonderfalls = 1 (1.9%)
X-Men = 4 (7.7%)

Also suggested: Queer as Folk, X-Files, Bones, Lost, Band of Brothers, Dead Like Me, Roswell.

Yay! ibedesign now has been friended by 200 people. Time to celebrate!

In the poll that I posted earlier, you guys made it very clear what you wanted.

I have uploaded a bunch of hi res QAF for you guys. You can find it all here, here, here, and here.
All that uploading took a lot out of me, but I intend on posting more very soon [this includes photos of other, non-QAF related people as well].

I also was playing around, and made a little batch of cartoon house icons. I don't know what you guys will think of them, but if you're interested in checking them out they're located over here.

So once again, Thank you guys so much for showing so much love. It's really sweet and I adore all of you!

All my love,

--Jeska

Wow, so apparently ibedesign is VERY close to having 200 watchers. I can't believe that.
As a way to thank everyone for friending and showing your love I would like to post something special when ibedesign finally crosses the 200 friend threshold.
