Well, this is the thrid skin I put the finishing touches on today. My bad elbow is killing me from all the mouse work ^^;;;

Anyways, I've been wanting to do a Kyo skin, because he's positively one of my favorite vocalists, and Dir en grey has been one of my favorite bands since at least 1999. I like their older costumes the best, and Yokan is my favorite DEG song. So, all those favorites add up, so when I saw this image from a GAUZE photobook, I had to do something with it.

The skin is named after the song Kyo wore this outfit (affectionately called 'the leisure suit') in. The Yokan outfits were interesting for the whole band. Anyways, 'yokan' means 'premonition', so yes, the skin title is boring.

This skin was very difficult, because I wanted to keep a lot of the cool effects from the photobook in it, but the color scheme was hard to work with. I tried to balance the white-blue glow colors with the mechanical CG greens. Very tough. But I like the final result.

Volume and balance are hidden. There is a non-functional equalizer in there somewhere.

Fonts used are Still Time, and the lazy man's pledit font, Arial.
