W E L C O M E

Welcome to Shattered. I'm Line and this is my fanart site, hosted at my own domain Escaping Madness.
Here you will find fanart - wallpapers & icons - of various tv shows as well as some movies and a variety of celebrities. You will also find some artists resources, such as textures, stock images and Photoshop tutorials.
The image gallery contains scans of a small selection of celebrities, all scanned by me.

The layout was build using Photoshop CS2 and Ultra Edit and is best viewed in Firefox but is also works in IE 7.

I hope you will enjoy your stay here.

12 APRIL 2008

Just a quick and brief update to say that I have a new site of the month for April, Chris @ Salt'n Burn.

I am also extremely honoured and proud because I have received TWO awards this month.
One Artist of the Month from Bre


And one Site of the Month from Sayjay


Both of these two are people I admire so much, so these awards means a lot to me. Thank you girls *mwah*

I have added 2 new affiliates:
Suddenly Tragic Radiance

And that's all I have for now, nothing new to add in way of art.
Much love to Marilyne, Katie, Stephanie, Kristen, Kelly, Amber, J.j, Dana & Bre for spamming up my tagboard. You guys are the best!

22 MARCH 2008

Wow. Two updates within the same month, how unusual of me!
Firstly, I am very proud to have received a Site Of The Month award from Wendy. Thank you so much!

I'm very honoured because Wendy has been a great inspiration to me for so long, so it means a lot to me.

I have 2 new pieces of art. Not a huge amount but I have been quite busy lately, finishing off work before going on my holiday on monday.
I do have 16 new Twilight Icons added, they have their own section because I suspect I will be making more in the future. Have also added 2 new textures.

So in summary:
>> 2 New pieces of art
>> 16 New icons
>> 2 New textures
>> 1 New affiliate:
Starry Skies
>> 1 New family member:
Reflection
Love goes out to Dana, Katie, Wendy, Alyson, Matilda, Amber, Chris & Marie. Thanks for the tags, guys.

7 MARCH 2008

Two months since my last update! Not good, but I suppose it's not the longest gap I've managed to have *lol*
I've got quite a bit of stuff to add so I'll get right to it.

First thing's first, I've got a new Site of the Month:


Immortal Kiss is my Site of the Month for March.

I have added 8 new pieces of art. I think that's the most art I've ever added in one go in this site's history, so I am quite pleased with that. This new year has rendered me quite inspired, perhaps because of the AFA's? I can't say for sure :)
Of course, what's inspiring me most of all right now is the Twilight Series By Stephenie Meyer. I started Twilight last friday and read all 3 books in one go over the weekend. So naturally, 4 of my 8 new pieces is Twilight related and I'm expecting to make more so I've already given it it's own section on the site.


I just wanted to talk briefly about some of my favourite pieces that I've added.
I Remember Nothing - Alice Cullen! I think she is my favourite Cullen (besides Edward ofcourse) and I am really pleased with the actress cast to portray her in the upcoming movie. I wanted to make an Alice/Jasper piece but it was so hard to find proper photos of the two actors, so I settled for an Alice piece and I really love the way this one turned out. She looks like my Alice (apart for the fact that her hair is long), which was the effect I was trying to get :)
The BEar and the Angel - Emmett & Rosalie, represented by Tom Welling and Lily Donaldson. I am having a hard time imagining the cast actors in the parts which I think is mostly because of these two being so utterly perfect for the parts, that anything else just won't do :( I will get used to it, I am sure but I just wanted to portray these two characters the way I see them (I always pictured Emmett looking like Tom Welling for some reason).
Pretend You're Bored - Emma Frost. Ok, so not really my favourite piece of the bunch but I found this old .psd and decided to try and make something out of it. I had to start over from scratch ofcourse, because the reason it was never finished in the first place, was because I'd got stuck at a point I didn't like. I know it's a bit pink and I mostly did it for the hell of it, but it actually turned out better than I thought. And I love Greg Horn's Emma art!!

Speaking of the AFA's (ok, I wasn't really but anyway) I was shocked to find that I actually won an award.

I'm very happy about that, especially because I won it for a piece that I was quite proud of, my BtvS Normal Again piece that I did for my battle with Romain over at BuffyForums. So I'm very grateful to anyone who thought this piece was worth voting for *hugs*

Umm... I am not sure that I have much more so just to sum up, I have today added:
>> 8 New pieces of art
>> 12 New textures
>> New Site of the Month
>> 3 New affiliates:
Shadow Of The Day Winter Rain Mongrel Minds

Love goes out to Bre, Steph, Ben, Amber, Matilda, Katie, J.j. & Winnie. Thanks for the tags, guys.

6 JANUARY 2008

Happy New Year!!!
Hope everyone has had a fantastic Holiday season.

It's a new year and I felt time for a change. I have a long overdue new layout up, finally featuring my (still ongoing) obsession of the moment, Shia LaBeouf (& Megan Fox cos I think they're super cute together in this photosession). I haven't done any changing of sections on the site because I like the way it is at the moment, still fresh from having been organised a few months ago. Speaking of months, I know it's been way too many since my last update. I have been adding stuff to the site in the past months but I just haven't had time to update. Well, very little time and also I am lazy of nature so I usually have to take some time getting around to doing thisngs. Bad combination :p
Anyway, I won't talk about any of the art I've added since my last update because it's been too long since I made any of it so it's a bit vague...

NEWS:
Speaking of being lazy, I actually did have a SOTM for December, with award at the ready but I just sorta "forgot" to tell her and also could not find time to sit down and write the praising words that I thought she was worthy of. That's why I have featured two SOTM's this month, one for December and one for January. A bit odd but I thought seeing as I had already made the award, it shouldn't go to waste.
So without any further ado:


More Adventurous is my January Site of the Month and


Call Her Green is my December Site of the Month. (Better late than never, I should say).

Both sites are definitely worth more than a visit!!!

I just want to mention that FellowShiaWhoreAmber made me feel extremely warm and fuzzy inside, when she presented me with this little thing:

Thank you ever so much for thinking of me hun, and the beautiful pressie, all power to the Shia Whores!!!!!
Thanks to everyone for all the lovely holiday gifts and tags, it's my own fault but there really are way too many for me to write out tags for everyone. But big hugs to you all and I shall plug soon *hearts all my affies so much*.
