Notes:
- A LOT of experimenting went into this batch. A. Lot.
- SO MUCH YELLOW WTF.
- Punctuation marks, I just used "{".
- In Big Text, I really don't know what I was doing. I was like, "Oh, hey, let's make text as a texture and let Orihime's legs go through an alphabet. Hey, we can use 'O' 'cuz Orihime starts with an 'O'!"
- In SPLATT!, I abused a lot of brushes. >_> It wasn't supposed to be that heavy, but the empty space in between was annoying, so I filled it with crack brushes.
- For AC, I abused Selective Colouring like whoa.
- Birds. Damn it, I spent nearly an hour looking for bird textures/brushes (while being distracted by other things, of course, but the point remains justified. >_>)
- For Foreign Language, I went for
Bushido (武士道), which means "Way of the Warrior", an unique code of conduct used by the warriors of Japan. A way of the samurai life, so to speak, since it originated from the samurai moral code.
- In the Category Set, Panorama, just after I completed the set, I facepalmed and thought about actually putting just one image instead of all FIVE of the black boxes with just one filled box. Looks better like that. GAH. Whatever. I'm just too sleepy to care anymore.
- For Relax, I used Starrk because that pose looks relaxed as well as damn sexy. The lyrics are from
John the Revelator by Curtis Stiegers and The Forest Rangers:
God walked out in the cool of day,
Called Adam by his name,
He refused to answer,
'Cause he was naked and ashamed.
- In No Eyes, I couldn't resist using Chad. Boy needs more love, and the lyrics I got from a certain
mk_atlanta, who gave me
What Shall We Die For? to work with. Thanks to your ass, I kept repeating it over and over again for the whole afternoon. I didn't know there were actual lyrics in the song - during the times I heard it prior to knowing this was only vocalizations and something along the lines of "thieves and beggars" and "never say we die."
Hoist the colours high,
Hieve the thieves,
And the beggars,
Never say we die.
I'm even listening to it right now, goddamn it.
I'm addicted to my Jake icon.
