Basket Case 
 Basket Case is my collective, named after a Green Day song that fits me almost to a T.  This is the hub of all my other sites, as in you can get to any site I've made from here.  This is also the site I'd prefer people to link to so that everyone can see all my other sites instead of just one, but it's okay if you want to link to just one (i.e. you're crediting me for using my graphics, then you'd link to my graphics page). 
 
Layout I 
I have no screenshots of this, which is okay since you really aren't missing much.  Just a pink background, text on the left, and an image of Utena to the right with text links under it.  This was kind of a simple layout just to get the collective started and set up, if you know what I mean.  A transitional layout.  I had one of these for my first personal page too. 
 
I think that's my birth flower, a chrysanthemum 
Layout II 
I like this one a lot better than the last.  That's an actual flower I scanned too.  It kinda wilted after I scanned it, but that's okay 'cause I had loads more.  These don't grow wild near my house (I wish), they're from the florist.  I really like the color scheme too.  I used Shoe String Picture to slice up the images (so like instead of making an image map I could just split it into several different images and link them separately).  A very convenient way to display links when you have only a few. 
 
It was just a layout-friendly pic to begin with. 
Layout III 
June layout here...isn't Sakura kawaii?  I love that show, even though I've only seen a couple episodes, it's just cute.  Same with Kodomo no Omocha.  I saw this picture and decided I had to make a layout of this, so tada, I did.  The picture itself just looks like something you'd make a layout of, you know?  Yeah, whatever.  Oh, and I used the great and wonderful BladePro to do the funky text stuff, but now my copy expireth so I have to download it again.  What a pain in the butt. 
 
a vote for Nader is a vote for Nader, not Bush, so VOTE GREEN! *fwee* 
Layout IV 
Ah yes, another political layout for November.  I got the idea for this in math class and I could hardly pay attention to the class for thinking about this. ^-^ This girl is my character Acacia, who's a Green (like me) and is an extremely liberal, hippie-ish person.  The type you'd meet at Woodstock. ^-^ I made a KiSS doll of her and I'm writing a novel about her too, called Third.  I think she's cute...oh, and the kana to the right of Acacia says "green party" in Japanese.  See, taking Japanese can really pay off. ^-^ 
 
tee hee! Omedetou Kurisumasu, Utena-sama! 
Layout V 
I fell in LOVE with these pics the minute I saw them.  They're from Surfing Elephants, a brilliant Utena site, and it's the Utena gang (most of 'em) celebrating Christmas!  The Welcome Santa stuff was already on the picture, all I did to it was write Basket Case above and put in the backgrounds.  I love Utena's and Saionji's...heck, everyone's facial expressions.  And it's so cute how Touga looks like he's blowing a kiss to the girls!  Hee hee!  Also, Shiori isn't in it.  Yay. *is a big Juri supporter/fangirl* 
 
the Bakuretsu Hunters, SD ^-^ 
Layout VI 
I love this pic!  And I love this layout!  It's one of my better ones recently.  See, I got this awesome image map program called Coffee Cup, and I used that to make this.  It's so cool!  Each of the little Bakuretsu Hunters (the little SD ones, Dotta, Gateau, Marron, Carrot, and Big Mama) is a link, and they all have mouseover text too (Coffee Cup does that for you *hugs Coffee Cup*).  I really think this is one of my best layouts, it looks really cool.  I even made an animated banner for BC based on this layout.  Pics from Andromeda's Bakuretsu Hunters World, where I get all my Hunters pics.
 
she makes me wish I was a duellist
Layout VII
I found this super-cute picture of Anshi from the Utena movie and decided I HAD to turn it into a layout, so here it is, my third Utena layout for BC.  I definitely design with Utena too much, I need to branch out a little...that was what I was trying to do with that Bakuretsu Hunters layout.  Maybe next time I'll do a different series...Rayearth, Lost Universe, Slayers...I really like the Utena character designs though, especially movie Anshi.  I want hair like that...I'd love to look like her.
 
let's ignore the fact that Tsu is ten years older than 'Soka...TSUZUKI/HISOKA FOREVER!
Layout VIII
*squeals* I loooove this pic.  The original is black and white, and I _know_ I found a colored version somewhere...unfortunately I didn't take note of where, and I didn't find it again in time for this layout, so I colored it myself.  Kind of a pain in the arse, but I think it really came out well.  It's from Yami no Matsuei, by the way, which is one of the many series that I cannot wait until it comes out in the US.  And I like the colors in this one too, they're all warm and autumney.  Autumn is my favorite season, and I always design all these orangey layouts around that time.
 
the resemblance is, quite frankly, very scary.
Layout IX
Darn it, when is someone going to translate the HanaKimi manga?  Okay, so this is Nanba from Hanazakari no Kimitachi E, which I have heard sooooo much about and I really want to read...especially since this character in particular bears a striking resemblance to the hero in my novel (not the Acacia novel, Third, a different one).  Actually, I based the character design of Nishiro from Under the Bridge after Nanba a little bit, but in this picture he _really_ looks like Nishiro.  Scary.  So yeah, that's why I did this layout.  Two bishounen layouts in a row...that's not like me, is it?  Ah well, I'm sure none of the fangirls are complaining. n.n
