minka_g, posts by tag: ^ ♪ d'espairsray - LiveJournal (original) (raw)

| | Ok, so I’ve been working on this since the moment I saw the scans up on jrock_scans. While I enjoy some D’espairsRay every now and then I’m really not a huge fan but god, the Redeemer single was instant love, as is their new look. The PV is to die for. And so I made this… It is dark and grungy; frightening and evil. It relies heavily on burnt layers and textures, splashes of blood and perhaps rust. It has a very dirty feeling to it; both in the physical and emotional sense. Despite that, the text is light and easy to read, the links shine and the colours should complement most icons and posted images. Lyrics within the image are actually from the song ‘Put Your Lights On’ by Santana and Everlast. Somehow they just seemed to fit.

There is no theme to any of these, no order, no sense of togetherness and certainly no common idea acting as a link. What you will see here is pure, unabashed iconness; the result of my boredom over the last few weeks. And everyone, worship my new Atsushi layout! He’s all shiny!! I like shiny...~x~ The Icon List ~x~~ 13 ~ Wataru (12012) ~ 11 ~ Atsushi Sakurai~ 11 ~ Sadie~ 10 ~ Dir en Grey~ 08 ~ D’espairsRay~ 06 ~ Acid Black Cherry~ 06 ~ Last Quarter (Hyde and stock)~ 05 ~ 12012~ 05 ~ Hyde~ 05 ~ Screw~ 05 ~ Siva~ 03 ~ Kyo (Dir en Grey)~ 03 ~ Miyavi~ 03 ~ Mao (Sadie)~ 03 ~ Resident Evil (random, I know...)~ 01 ~ Girugamesh~x~ Rules ~x~~ 1 ~ If taking, commenting is a MUST~ 2 ~ Credit when using is vital.

I have been off work sick which means I have been utterly bored and, well, when it all comes down to it, those little JRockers are far too hot to refuse.
