Thanks everyone! (: But to be honest, I am not very good at blending. You should see the brilliant photo manipulations done by DeviantArtists!

You RIPPED. Portfelia gives NO ONE any permission to use her works for anything. Didn't you read her Terms of Use? I'll quote from her site: "You can not use any art work as background, layout or stock use. You can not use even if you offer money for it."

I am extremely against rippers, stealers, and people who are just too lazy to read Terms of Usage.

all these comments got me tempted to do another twilight skin with the jap scans. (:

lingling!!
of course you can use it! i'm just so glad you like it. (: (actually i thought you'd prefer the other version - the shiny version)

coldwindz:
thank you for commenting on like, all my skins! thanks so much!

rollercoaster.ride♥:
yes, he looks scary, i totally agree. i know he's not the handsomest edward out there, but he looks alright when he gives the "crooked smile" (in the twilight trailer).

bolong92:
oh. now that you mention it. it does look default. eeargh. thanks for pointing that out. i might change it. but if you're wondering, it isn't default. it's from hybrid genesis.

to everyone else:
thanks a lot! (: although personally i prefer the other version.

me too [: initially, i only intended to do one version. i took away a few layers and found that it looked good too, so i added more brushes and made a contrasting version (:

but i still prefer this one. ^^

thanks so much everyone! (: i'm glad the pink doesn't bother you. ^^

The image can be more vibrant (I recommend duplicating the layer in photoshop, then setting the blending mode of the duplicated layer to 'overlay' or 'soft light'). I also agree that the white headers are a little difficult to see. The headers are still visible when the font size is big, but BlogItemTitle is nearly invisible.

But for a first skin, it's fabulous! (my first 50+ skins were horrible)

The image quality can be improved on, and the links umm.. move too much, don't you think? You could replace "position: absolute;" with "padding-left: 5px;" if you want (:

I think it may look better if the images are aligned with the text. As in, put the images in the center. Also, the words 'Billy Talent' (in the top image) aren't very clear, but I like the concept. (:
