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!<\/strong> It’s the only truth<\/em>.” You can still see the previous title image here<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>. It was going to say “Krunk4Ever!<\/strong> Some anger just can’t be quelled<\/em>.” It looked pretty decent, but I decided to see what other options there was.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

While browsing for more images, I ended up on this page: Ginko, the snow, the tree, and the Mushi<\/a> and immediately overtaken with a very peaceful and calm feeling. The image is from an anime called Mushi-Shi<\/a> (\u87f2\u5e2b) which literally translates to bug master, but according to BasuGasuBakuhatsu<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The literal translation for \u201cMushi-shi\u201d sounds sorta like \u201cBug Tamer,\u201d but I think the actual meaning is a bit more interesting. At least, if you\u2019re not into entomology\u2026<\/p>\n

Mushishi are not bugs. They\u2019re actually pseudo life-forms that were around before life even existed. They usually can\u2019t be seen, but their effects on people can be pretty strong. Ginko, a \u201cMushi-shi,\u201d travels the world ridding people of their Mushi afflictions and learning more about them. Aaaand that\u2019s about it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I haven’t checked out this anime yet, but it has a pretty high rating on AniDB<\/a>. Looks like something to add to my watch list. House, M.D.<\/a> is once again postponed until further noticed.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to the topic. I first created this one<\/a>, 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<\/a>. 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!<\/strong> A journey of amazing experiences<\/em>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
