That time has come. The time to retire that is.
Or rather, there's no time left anymore.

I knew that one day I would have reached a point in my life where the things I do (between work, university and other activities that I have been involved in during the last year) would have kept me away both from making wallpapers and from my tasks as administrator.

It's not an easy choice, but I just didn't want to lie to myself (and to you guys anymore), which is why in the end I decided this would have been the best and most honest thing to do.

I have a lot of people I need to thank for having spent a good couple of years together within this community and on MT as well. If I listed them all it'd probably take for ever. So instead I'll be very brief. Thank to all the people who I spent time with here on AP, thanks to all the friends on IRC during these four years (both from #animepaper and #minitokyo, you know who you guys are), thanks to my colleagues at Shinndou. I had an awesome time with all of you, talking, joking and even learning.

Life goes on for me, and I wish you all the best, and keep it up with this website as AP is still the best wallpaper community in my eyes.
I might from time to time pay a visit at my userpage to check out if anyone needs to talk to me for whatever reason, but I won't be active anymore.

Thanks! Well I did lots of rearranging and reconstruction, but I get what you mean. If I added the dragonfly/fish I think the wall would be more interesting, but I kinda got sick of working on it for so long (5 months) that I wanted to finish it once and for all.

Lol the leaf lines - too thick, too dark? XD

Ahh scenic, those are nice. (Must now find a body shot that inspires me to do so! (n_n)-b emoticon ) I have too many head shots I think...
