~* Welcome to my little home devoted to graphics *~ We all have hobbies and interests -- and playing with my graphics program happens to be mine. What started out as just a desire to make a signature graphic for a SIMS forum had turned into a full-blown passion. Ironically, I'm not alone with this strange hobby. It's a hobby that's attracted males and females of all ages and backgrounds. So few hobbies can claim such a wide variety of interested parties, and I'm proud to be among them. The most commonly used term for these wonderful little graphics is known as "dollz" or "dolls". Over the years I've watched as "dollz/dolls" evolved into this complex matrix of talent, expression and enjoyment. I can't say there's a single right way to make them -- you just find your own style and go with it. I could probably go on at length of the history, when really, I feel I only stumbled upon them back when they were adaptations of the palace avatar with their introduction to the WWW. If you really want to know the history -- I can point you to a few amazing places. Creators who I feel are part of the fabric of their palace origins, and without their creative efforts we wouldn't be enjoying these today. Thank you ladies -- for your creative interests and willingness to share. I also found the article in Wikipedia to be incredibly helpful. I suggest you check them out, even an old Doller like myself learned a thing or two. Now, that is my introduction -- and what this site is about. If you're a beginner and really wish to learn more about these "dollz/dolls" -- please check out my Special section, perhaps I can point you in the right direction. I ask you to please read my Rules before taking anything from this site. Ignorance is not an excuse, it's only ignorant. If you wish to see my latest updates and happenings, please check out my News section. If you wish to reach me, please follow the Contact Me link -- I assure you I'll check and be forever grateful. Thank you for visiting -- and enjoy your time here at my little place. ~* Mommyfeet *~

The Original Animate My World opened it's doors in August of 2000. Started as a home just to host signatures. :) I guess things have really changed since then. |
