Welcome to Dream-tide.net. This small, fairly uninhabited domain was originally Shadow-Star.net and has been owned and operated by Caroline Critchlow (aka Renako) since March 2004. It has been a home for her various web and graphic design endeavors. The domain's name is derived from the game Golden Sun: The Lost Age, where a weapon named the Pirate's Sword has an "unleash ability" named Dreamtide.
layout
This layout is the first layout to appear on the revamped blog form of Dream-tide.net. It features a character that Renako drew herself for an RPG. She is a bone demon who's full image can be found here. It was made in Adobe Photoshop CS and coded by hand with Notepad and with the help of Cutenews. All resources used were Adobe Photoshop CS defaults except for the texture from Hybrid Genesis and the splatter brush from who knows where. Fonts used were Cocaine Sans, Tacoma and Georgia.
writer
Caroline Critchlow, or Renako, is a geeky 18-year-old gamer, artist, and procrastinator. The majority of her life was spent growing up in Santa Fe, NM, but she is relocating to Redmond, WA to attend Digipen Institute of Technology to study video game design. Though most of her time is spent playing MMORPGs, she also enjoys drawing, watching movies, and laughing. Her favorite things include D.Gray-man, green chile, writing code, Flyff, 0.5 pencils, battle scenes, potato salad and iced tea together, Photoshop, Okami, exploring memes, movie and game sountracks, singing in the shower, zombies, windows, and swingsets. Dislikes include sugar hype, general hype, non-working computer stuff, missing out on good movies, burnt popcorn, broken downloads, sexism, racism, long cramped car rides, and scratched dvds.
