(...brown as ink?)
For this third redesign of nadenade.net, I went with an image from my current obsession, the anime series Peace Maker Kurogane and the two manga series it's based on. The base pic is the cover to volume one of the second series, also titled Peace Maker Kurogane, and features the main character, Tetsunosuke Ichimura. No, I don't know why the mangaka painted his nails red, but doesn't he look adorably punkish?
Image work mostly consisted of editing out a section of large, bright red kanji in the lower right, and putting in the faint (I hope) text overlay. Mouseovers on the nav, of course. I'll probably stop doing those roundabout the time I'm dead. :P The font for nav images and overlay is Dark Horse. The overlay text is from the chorus of the song "Vindicated" by Dashboard Confessional:
I am captivated
I am vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
Site thank you goes to Mephron for helping me figure out what I broke in the CSS ("...why is it blue?!"). He's always so patient with me. ^_^;;
If you want to experience PMK for yourself, the anime's been digisubbed by Anime Nation; I believe the American license has been bought, but it'll be a while before the series is released here commercially. You know how these things go. The manga is being scanslated by Manga City (Shin Imon Peacemaker, first series) and Fifay (PMK); both are available on Fifay's website.
