— Completed upon approval. — Design: As read in my WIP, the client asked for a “Shengui Guo” theme. So I added some cherry blossoms under the pet name to carry the theme. Overall, I used gradients, opacity, and the Soft-light Blend mode to create depth and a nice layered look — Features: CSS styled “Tabbed” text area & treasure chest, pull-down pet image, minion & pet spotlight and scroll bar cover.

— Client asked for a "Shengui Guo" theme, so I decided to use a close up of the map skyline and created a background gradient using the same colors (I really love these colors). Then to really sell the theme, I created a "house" (using the drawings in the Zenthu Baths main img as a reference) for the blog area. I need to add the pet name, text and links and polish everything up.

— Completed. — Design – Michaeleen: User asked for a lacy/patterned look using a specific pink/purple color palette. I went with a “doily” shape behind the main text area and a rounded half circle “trim” for the background for the lacy bits. I used a small floral/leaf and a vertical stripe for the patterns to avoid things getting to busy looking. I mainly used gradients, opacity, and the Soft-light Blend mode to create depth and an overall layered look. — Design – Meow: With this lovely art, I decided to really showcase it by using a greyscale low opacity larger version on the left side. I created a “spotlight” area that highlights the text area and the art. I then kept it minimal with the patterns, gradients and levels of opacity. 

— Completed. — Glitter Gem: Character is based on little girl, who likes princesses and fairy tales. So, I went for a little girl’s room and a “mural” look, featuring a castle, rolling hills, a big rainbow & butterflies. The Pet Image is a poster taped up and the Minion is a banner hang up next to it. I used a ton of patterns on this one and very distinct softlight shade to give a “cartoon” feel. For once I held off on the use of gradients since it didn’t really fit the overall look. Overall, I’m really happy with the result. Features: CSS styled “Tabbed” text area & treasure chest, pull-down Pet Spotlight and scroll bar covers. — Sprockette: Character is based on a young boy, who likes gaming. I decided to go full on Nintendo nerd on this one. Created a Switch, game cards, for the background a couple old school controllers. This one was a ton of fun to create. It was really all about the details, since it’s relatively simple it needed to be just right. Features: CSS styled “Tabbed” text area & treasure chest, pull-down Pet Spotlight and scroll bar covers. — Demitasse: User asked for a coffee shop/chalk board sign theme and I knew exactly what I was going to do. I had to make sure the layout didn’t get too fussy but still had that great chalkboard sign art feel. Adding the “art” & menu to the left and right really helped push the theme while not getting too busy. This one has several patterns, plus I used various gradients, opacity and the Soft-light Blend mode to bring it all together. Really, really happy with the way this came out in the end. :) Features: CSS styled “Tabbed” text area & treasure chest, pull-down Pet Spotlight & Pet Image and scroll bar covers.

— Completed upon approval. — Pablo: User described the character as a “gaudy fashion designer” and asked for an “opulent” look. As I said in my WIP post, I decided to go hog wild and created a bolt of fabric shape and used that to add color and pattern. Additionally, I was a little more heavy handed with the patterns in the background (although I used “small” patterns and opacity to not make it TOO crazy). I also added the “stitch” dashed lines that really pushes the design/sewing feel. Overall, I really love how this came out. :D Features: CSS styled pull-up treasure chest & minion and scroll bar covers.

— Character is a fashion designer with a flair for color and pattern and the user asked for an "opulent" feel. So, I decided to make a fabric roll "shape" and then featured different patterns over various colors/gradients that are picked from the artwork. Also used a couple patterns to create the background, keeping with the character trait of "more is more". LOL Need to add the pet name and do all the final touches. 

— Completed upon approval. — Gerta: User requested a "wintery/cool colour scheme“. So, I went whole hog with the snowflake shape and used a couple shades of light blue with pops of purple and teal from the artwork. I think used 6 different patterns but who’s counting. :P I also used some text from the character story about a storm (which inspired the “flurries”). Features: CSS styled pull-down treasure chest & minion and scroll bar covers. — Flutter: User wanted a “love/pink theme”. As you can see I went for a “love letter” look, which if I’m being honest took forever for me to figure out. :D Once again I used several patterns, only 4 this time. Features: CSS styled scroll bar covers.

— Completed. — Goth: User wanted a girly black gothic look. To avoid a big dark blob, I used opacity throughout. For the girly element I created I lace trim for the background. Used gradients in the blog areas so that it wouldn’t be so flat.  — Cass: User wanted a very clean and simple layout. I created the lily pads and lilies in the menu to mirror the artwork and used a very subtle pattern for the bkgd. — Maturity: Kept it very subtle with this monotone color scheme. Used gradients and patterns to help add interest and definition to the different elements. — CosmicAsh: This was interesting since the user had a lot of artwork that I could use. I used the girl, zodiac wheel, a paper pattern (I used it for the texture), moon line art, and the star. I created the blog background to “match up” with the skirt “galactic” pattern. I also used that color scheme throughout. The coding was interesting to, as it is tabbed.
