Request: The GazettE header&userinfo banner
Requested by les_cuki -for her usage only~<3
I'm now tackling your requests (you can still go and request; the REQ post will be open for a few more weeks or so), and here's the first set.
Quick "summary": This is for the loveliest of all the rotation communities, silly_disco. I've found so many divine bands through that comm (not to mention all the great PVs I've downloaded and used for iconing) that this request made me extra fluffy and I was so proud to create something for Leslie.
She asked for something happy, something.. suitable for silly_disco and that made me think -what kind of place silly_disco really is? As reading comments concerning the possible co-mods//closing the community I had one of those (rare)moments of realization; passion.
In one interview, Uruha said that Ruki is the "heart and soul" of the band. I tried to make the header using Ruki's POV. He's there, on stage, in the center of all the action. He smells sweat and smoke; he hears the screams of the fans and their hands clapping along the music; he feels the music -Rei's strong bassline making the floor vibrate, Kai's heavy drum beats, the electric crackling of Uru and Aoi's guitars. He sees this insanely huge ocean of bodies swaying. He sees his dream coming true. And, most importantly, he sees his closest friends and understands they smell, feel, hear and see the exact same things. He's happy, he's loved, he's alive.
Leslie is "the ruki" of her community -a passionate jrockster who keeps on sharing good music as long as it makes her happy and she feels doing it is worth the uploading crazyness. Gazette will be around as long as the guys feel they have something to achieve, as long as the music itself is what drives them. And we, the humble flisters of silly_disco, we are the blindly devoted fans who're there to support and make the star feel loved^__^
Unfortunately, I wasn't quite satisfied with the graphic I came up with (the balance seemed somehow off), so I did some changes. Now the POV isn't as clearly seen anymore as it used to be but I still hope that at least a tad bit of everything I was thinking through the graphic-making process is delivered to you :)
(..and when it comes to the userinfo banner.. mmmyeah. I just wanted to use that picture x) And I don't even pair these two! Such a kawaii moment~<3)
The biggest picture was chosen because Aoi looks so mad cute in it~<3 (And, after all, I do read fan fiction; that picture teases my imagination rather cruelly. Who he's looking at, the question of the day.. ^__-)
Leslie, if you feel the userinfo thinggie is too small/simple/something, let me know and I'll fix it for you. It was just one of those spur of a moment graphics, so it might need a little more love to really bloom~
Oh, and yes, you'll get the matching icons too, which belong to the LJ set :) I haven't made them yet, but I thought you'd like to get your hands on coding, so I decided to post the stuff I already had for you. I'm almost finished with the PV icons (and guys, damn, the Arisu9 icons are amongst the best I've ever done~<3), so I'm likely to put them into the same post^^
