Being Lazy--Posted 6/12/07
Yes, I do have a few wallpapers done. Nothing special, but they're there. I'm too lazy to actually fix up a wallpaper page, so they're currently here.

Wallpapers--Posted 25/11/07
I'm working on wallpapers right now... I swear! They're WoW-themed for now, made from some of my screenshots and stuff. Also, check out my blog, Azerothian Lady for maybe a little more action.

*Sigh*--Posted 22/10/07
No, I haven't forgotten about Rose, I have just been totally swamped with my studies... I haven't gotten one sprite done since the last one I put up. I promise you I'll get at least one done, since I've got SO many ideas, but NO TIME! Be patient... they're coming... T_T

I'm Working, I'm Working...--Posted 17/8/07
Yes, yes, I'm working. I've got a lot going on, not least of all trying to level to 40 before classes start again... Anyway, I'm not quite sure when there'll be something new up for you. I've made a little slideshow-style video to celebrate when I hit lvl 40, so I'll put that up here. I'm currently annoyingly close to level 38, just to give you some idea of how long it's going to take. (It usually takes me between one and three days to level.)

Finally Back--Posted 7/8/07
I've been level-grinding on WoW since I got back, so that's why I haven't done anything yet. I'm trying to work with wallpaper-making at the moment, so hopefully you'll be getting some WoW wallpapers eventually. And, for anyone who lives in a cave/didn't watch or attend BlizzCon/doesn't care (*gasp*), Blizzard announced the second expansion for WoW: Wrath of the Lich King. You might be getting some stuff from that out of me eventually. *hint, hint*

Sprites Schedule--Posted (later) 17/7/07
Okay, here is my schedule of sprites I'd like to finish, in order of priority:

1) Trickster Online
2) Harry Potter
3) Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and XXXHolic

Finally: A Sprite Update!--Posted 17/7/07 <--Another cool date
Haha! I did decide to be nice and get a couple more pages of sprites up! I actually made these about a year ago (the LOTR ones were posted on my old blog on Blogger), but never uploaded them. So there you go: a couple LOTR sprites (Arwen and Eowyn) and some Neopets Faeries!

HP Hype!--Posted 13/7/07

Yeah, so I'm pretty excited for Deathly Hallows. Take the Leaky Cauldron's quiz, and see if you got some of it right when the book comes out! I'm taking a break from pixelling and coding this week to run Spirits of the Wind at Mystickal Realms and to re-read Half-Blood Prince, since I practically forgot what a Horcrux was... -_-'

Music!--Posted 7/7/07 <--Cool date, eh?
I know, I know. I haven't joined 5,000 more fanlistings this week. I've actually been indulging my love of music and manga and watched "The Thief Lord" on video. Very good movie based on a very good book. If you've read and liked the book, the movie is excellent. Anyhow, I've joined last.fm, and here's my playlist! Also, these things have a habit of being glitchy, so don't be too surprised if it doesn't work. If you want one of your own, go ahead and join last.fm. It's free!

Fanlistings... *gasp!*... Updated...!--Posted 3/7/07
It may look like I've done nothing with the site since July 1st, but I have...! Those of you who have never joined/updated 100+ fanlistings in two days may never know my pain... I have browsed every category of anime/manga fanlistings on The Anime Fanlistings and joined the ones I liked. Now, onward to the general fanlistings of The Fanlistings! T_T Also, I've organized ALL my fanlistings here. Take a look!

Request Now Open!--Posted (later) 1/7/07
I decided to play with some of Bravenet's web tools, and re-discovered their calendar. It was the answer to every webmaster's/webmistress' prayer: it was free, offered more flexibility, cut down on bandwidth, reduced necessary coding, and allows more secure communication. Therefore, if you'd like to make a sprite or bottle request, please post it on the calendar. You can also see when I'm busy, on holiday, or otherwise unavailable to do requests. PLEASE READ THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE REQUESTING! They are posted as an even on the first day of each month. Also, please look at the sample request to see exactly how to make requests. Also, it would be nice if you put a pipe (like this: |) between the different bits of information (like between your E-mail and type of request), as it doesn't allow line breaks without HTML. If you know how to insert line breaks in HTML, though, that would be helpful, too.

Bottles Are Up!--Posted 1/7/07
I have four new bottles up here for ya. I took a little break from WoW to finish them for you, so I hope you like 'em!

Armory and Rupture Profile Links--Posted 30/6/07
I added links to my characters' Armory and Rupture profiles to the WoW sprites page. Take a look if you're interested in my characters' stats! Also, there will probably be no new sprites today, as I will be gone most of the day.

The Promised Sprite(s)--Posted (later) 29/6/07
Well, I decided to fulfill my promise: there are new sprites! Well, one, currently. It's my main (character) from World of Warcraft, Selera. I may do some more WoW sprites later today, but I won't post another news note about it/them. You can go ahead and take a look at them here. Please note that these are NOT for adoption! If you'd like me to make one of your character(s), I will open requests for a little while. I did just finish the hardest race to do! Draenei are so hard to make... T_T

The Triumphant Return of Lyddie!--Posted 29/6/07
Some of you might remember Lyddie from SOTS, so here she is, in all her glory!

Also, I'm currently working on a sprite before I join new fanlistings, so ya'll don't feel *totally* neglected.

Fanlistings Updated--Posted 28/6/07
Okay! I've updated as many fanlistings as I could to the new site address. I will be joining more soon... For those who were wondering how many I'm actually part of... drumroll, please... *140* Yup. 140 fanlistings... and counting...

Another Quick Note...--Posted (later) 27/6/07
Much of the content that was originally on Song of the Stars will be moved here shortly... or long-ly, depending upon how much time I have in the next month. The first thing moving is the fanlistings page. Too bad all the pages I have aren't that big... T_T

I Live!!--Posted 27/6/07
Yup! I'm back after crazy computer problems including my monitor going crazy and turning yellow (I couldn't tell blue from green from black-not good for a graphics creator...), slowing down tenfold, and, drumroll please...a total hard drive crash. Yup. All my pixels that I didn't upload to the internet is currently lost permanently. However, in getting interested in a new (new for me, not for die-hard CLAMP fans) anime, called Tsubasa Chronicle (or "TSUBASA CHRoNiCLE," if you want to be picky), and after that, the manga (TSUBASA RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE ^_^), as is inevitable, inspiration struck. So, I'm getting back into pixelling: I found the bases I've used, gotten Paint.net (a better graphics program than just MS Paint, but still free!), and had some new ideas and want to make sure I finish my old projects. Also...NAME CHANGE!! It's no longer "13cats" since I found another site named that... (they sell cat toys and such, but, hey... it's still been used...). Say hello to "Rose of Celes!" What is Celes, you ask? Well, It's where my (and everyone's else's T_T) favourite TRC (stands for Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle) character, Fye, is from! (Sort of... Read the manga!) It's sort of a tribute to TRC, without being a fansite. And where did this amazing layout come from? You know it couldn't have been me... I'm no good with layouts. It was from Endless Rain. Please visit them! They have some very nice graphics. And... I know you're thinkin' it... *gasp* where can I find this amazing manga you speak of?! ^_^ The best resource I've found is this site. It starts out kind of cheesy, but it gets nice and dark later, for those of us who like it like that! And... the final question... why did it take you so long to update? I thought you got your new computer a month ago! It doesn't take anyone that long! -_- Okay... no it doesn't take that long, but have pity on me! I got World of Warcraft! <--another source of inspiration, by the way... Well, Chickies, I'm off to create more graphics for all of you! I hope you'll like 'em! Also, for those interested, requests should re-open soon. I might re-work the code a bit, too; it's a bit confusing now. Happy web-surfing!

Reminder!--Posted 19/2/07
Please keep in mind that, though this is a hobby for me, my art is not public domain! My art is Linkware, requiring you to link to me on at least one page of your site, and not some obscure page, either! Here's where the link should be: hompage, links page, or (preferred) page containing the graphics. As much as I love to see people using and appreciating my art, it's not really "appreciating" my art if you fail to give me credit! It's stealing! I understand that some sites (forums, especially; another example is Neopets) do not allow you to link to URLs outside of their site. If this is the case, please E-mail me and let me know you would give me a link, if you could! However, I'd still like credit in the form of a text credit, such as: "Image by Katea at 13cats" or "Image use with permission from 13cats." I'm not putting this up so much for art thieves, but for those new to the idea of Linkware versus Public Domain. For more information on online graphics copyrights, please click below.

R.I.G.H.T.S. for Artists


Give Credit Where Credit is Due

Please keep this in mind as you browse the rest of the site, and, if you don't think you can handle my little request, please look for graphics elsewhere!
