Process :
Once I saw that image of Sena for the first time, I set it aside from the manga, already planning to make it apart of the new guestbook layout. Then, one day, I decided to finally do it, after become proficient enough with divs aligned on the bottom. So the point of this layout was just on the bottom. I really love the fact that I put the helmet over the last box, which gave a sense of layers. That part was actually the hardest. The pattern in the background, which was basically hued from Matamune ‘s layout, was lightened enough so that it wouldn’t hurt eyes. I didn’t get time to change the images though, and since I liked the old ones, I kept them there.

The layout itself took around 9 hours, since I didn’t want to vector it, and had to be nit-picky on what I wanted to extract or keep. In the end, I mixed a bit of white space and lined ones, highlighting some with different shades of blue. I loved the way it turned out overall, but the loading speed was really slow, because I was too lazy to split that image, and it would have become more complicated that way as the images would have to be split into different divs.

Description :
A long layout with Sena on the bottom, leaning as he finished the Deimon Devil Bat Ghost. Simple layout overall, his helmet overlaps the bottom box. Coded entirely in divs, and link to sign on the very top. Some other information and navigation is scattered throughout.
