I got this idea from (believe it or not) a new anime I found on On Demand called "D.N. Angel" or something like that. I really liked some of the sequences they had where they showed glowing eyes and stuff. So I started drawing Bevan in the dark with his scarred eye glowing but then had a spur of the moment desire to add blood to it and stuff. And from there it just kinda turned into a potential website layout. I know the blood's kinda stereotypical, and honestly, I would like working with it in my artwork more than I do if it weren't for the stereotype. These days if you put blood on something all the little goth people flock to it because it expresses the blackness of their SOULLLLL.... XD Or some crap like that.

I really do not like the stereotypical goth... stuff. I see too much of it on this site. And I notice it usually gets way too much attention than it should... but maybe it's just another one of those phases... At least I'd like to hope so. You'd be an idiot to think you were brought in this world only to suffer.

I know I can't seem to stick with one layout for too long. I like having change. lol. So, I just wanted to ask you guys if you're able to make out everything in the picture since it might be too dark on some peoples' monitors. Course you can always set the brightness on your monitor to prevent something looking too dark but.. I know a lot of people don't know how to do that to begin with. And every monitor has different buttons so it's not easy to explain it to those who don't know.

But anyway yeah. I just wanted to check if you could make out what the words all say and the cloudy effects and frame. and if you can see the entire image within your browser window at once. Since it's a website layout you need to be able to see everything without having to scroll back and forth.

If you can't read Euclid Fraktur (that type of font) then here's what it says:

Blood ran down his face and he smiled ...
"Now you know the truth"
"Now you know what really happened..."

- About Bevan's past sorta. Though doesn't ruin any particular aspect of the story really.

I really need to write out Souls Destined. And get a set layout for the plot line because I keep changing it. xD Well not entirely but some aspects keep changing. Like Masurao's story keeps changing every now and then. lol. As does Teresa's from time to time. Bevan's has stayed somewhat the same... but yeah. I need to write the story out. xD
