Where Are the Sharks?!
First off, click the Jim's Big Ego - Stress link in the music section of the current interests table in my introduction. ... Or the one here in the post -- your choice. But seriously, click it; it's a link to a flash music video for the song Stress, by Jim's Big Ego. I love listening to it when I'm just sort of in a drag and don't feel like doing anything, since it usually cheers me up. Awesome song, and there's also a Cowboy Bebop AMV floating around out there on the net that's set to it.

So after getting that link put in my introduction, I decided to make another greeting to submit to theOtaku.com. I pretty much just grabbed the first decent idea that came to mind as I was looking through my collection of Oh My Goddess! art and ran with it, deciding I can always make more if I get other ideas later. And Oh My Goddess! seems to be very suited for greetings of the Love and Dating type, and that's what this one is -- it's got a nice shot of Keiichi and Belldandy standing in front of the Gate of Judgement (from the movie), with the words "There's no doubt in my mind..."

I'm really happy with how it turned out, considering the technique I used for getting the text to stand out enough to be readable was completely experimental for me. I've never much liked putting separate shading behind the text to make it show up better, since I usually think it clashes with the background picture too much, but with a little use of The Subtlety (groaning is heard echoing from the direction of Alan's site), I think I made it blend in pretty well while still accomplishing its task. So be sure to check it out when it gets put up ... or else you'll make Shinmaru cry.
