So if you haven’t noticed, I’ve updated my title image. It originally featured Detective Conan and Shinichi in the background with the saying “Krunk4Ever! It’s the only truth.” You can still see the previous title image here. However, while updating to WordPress 2.3 and having to fix up all the stylesheets and theme changes, I got bored and decided to make a new title image.
I started searching for more Detective Conan images, but didn’t really find one that I liked or could work with. Then I searched for Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach, and Naruto. I found a Naruto one that I liked and even created a title image that was on my site for a few hours. If you didn’t get to see it, you can check it out here. It was going to say “Krunk4Ever! Some anger just can’t be quelled.” It looked pretty decent, but I decided to see what other options there was.
I also got to a point where I wanted to have a black and white title image, basically a silhouette type image (think iPod commercials). I was playing with at few images and after I converted them to silhouettes, they looked nothing like the original, so I gave up on that idea.
While browsing for more images, I ended up on this page: Ginko, the snow, the tree, and the Mushi and immediately overtaken with a very peaceful and calm feeling. The image is from an anime called Mushi-Shi (蟲師) which literally translates to bug master, but according to BasuGasuBakuhatsu:
The literal translation for “Mushi-shi” sounds sorta like “Bug Tamer,” but I think the actual meaning is a bit more interesting. At least, if you’re not into entomology…
Mushishi are not bugs. They’re actually pseudo life-forms that were around before life even existed. They usually can’t be seen, but their effects on people can be pretty strong. Ginko, a “Mushi-shi,” travels the world ridding people of their Mushi afflictions and learning more about them. Aaaand that’s about it.
I haven’t checked out this anime yet, but it has a pretty high rating on AniDB. Looks like something to add to my watch list. House, M.D. is once again postponed until further noticed.
Anyway, back to the topic. I first created this one, which following the previous title images, had a white border. However Hjo3 noted that the white borders were a bit weird given the fact that the new image also had a white border, so I decided to give moving the trees to the edge a try and came up with what I have now. It turned out pretty nice. I’m not sure which one is better, but I’ll leave this one for now. Since there was this little man walking, I decided to make up some saying dealing with “journey”, and ended up with “Krunk4Ever! A journey of amazing experiences.”
