new maple layout and leaf

hello,
leaf

it's a really cool leaf I found!
i found it on the ground and recognized it as a eucalyptus. the firm matte smoothness of the blue-green leaf with the red border like the pages of a gilded book makes it so pretty.
it has a very nice scent too.

in other updates - I did end up caving in and making a new layout for my maplestory blog.
here are some screenshots of the old one, the new draft, and the new one (mostly complete):

i'll be adding textures to the shapes next week.
i don't quite know how I feel about this layout! I do love the bitmap brush, which gives it a cleaner look, it definitely is a lot less detailed than the last layout.

checklist time
from last week: I did indeed release the 2 layouts in my store. decided on no guestbook. and still no keyboard or mouse.
so here's a new list, which is more a "second-hand physical objects shopping list":
☐ white kb + mouse
☐ paper shredder
☐ clothes iron + iron board
☐ hair dryer
☐ ethernet cable

and ... I do need a practical list to get anything done so here's that too:
☐ layouts site: i made a menu link for "cool style". make that page.
☐ maple blog: add pfp graphics

see you sooN!
