About Ashikiyoko
The history behind Ashikiyoko, and its purpose on the www
Ashikiyoko is Master Pogi's icon and PNG site. It started January 8th 2007, and I worked my way up to where I am now. Ashikiyoko is a hobby for me right now, but in future I could make web designing a career. Ashikiyoko isn't in a competition with other sites in the community, it's just my little thing I do on the www. Ashikiyoko used to display everything I played with in Photoshop. After a while a lot of sections in Ashikiyoko died, so I made it my Icon and PNG site, mainly because I love doing those two things the most. I also was inspired to make Icons more than anything. I saw a lot of Icons primarily on Livejournal.com and wondered how I could make my Icons very spiffy like the ones there. So I read some icon tutorials and expanded my Iconing skills. With a lot of cleaning of my old Icons and revamping I'm really good at Iconing and I also get a lot of praise, which makes meh happy. My intentions and my outlook has changed since I first opened Ashikiyoko. Though I do take constructive criticism in consideration, I used to shape my whole style around it. I was always thinking if the visitors would like it, but, I noticed that I myself have to like it first right? So, I don't want to please the public as strongly as I did before, every artist has to have their own personal style. :D So that's about it. Ashikiyoko is one big website that may get me some in money in the future, and I absolutely love it! :D
