Hilda from Outlaw Star
"The Nonchalant Outlaw"
source: video scan

I included all buttons in this skin. No more hide and seek with buttons. well I was wrong, the balance button is hidden. It's above Hilda's eye . The fonts are all different because I made the buttons at different times. When I finished I found out that they're all different. Too lazy to go back and change all. 
I rather liked the color theme. I was trying different blending options in Adobe and this one happens to be my favorite. It's dark bluish. Suits Hilda's personality. Speaking of which, this is my first non-digimon skin in a while. Most of my digimon skins were happy and bright.
The background sucks because I couldn't figure out how to seperate her from the ugly background that also had words written. So the solution? The smudge tool! Obviously you can see that too much smudge tool can be pretty deadly. Oh well at least the main image isn't butchered.
I love the eq bars and visualization. The playlist was a disaster again. How do people make them?

You know a show is going badly when your favorite character is suddenly killed during the first 5 episodes. That's exactly what happened to me when I was watching Outlaw Star. Why did Hilda have to die? It's not fair! I still can't get over it. I've actually stopped watching the show because of it. Someday, I will go back and watch all the episodes I've taped. 
I really like Jim too. But the show never seems to focus on him. Oh yea the show is all about Gene and Melfina. Duh!
This skin is a tribute to all the fans who cried during the episode the coolest character Hilda left the show. Hey I did. I couldn't believe my eyes either. I had to call a friend and rant for a while to realize that Hilda's not going to be part of the show anymore. Howeve, she will live on as the best outlaw.
