"Genesis of Next" Featuring K' and Kula Diamond from The King of Fighters video game series

My 17th winamp skin...*in awe*...I could write a book about this skin. Well, first off, I started this
winamp skin around the end of July 2003. So in total, it took me about 2 months to complete. Which 
is better timing than my previous winamp skin (Himura Kenshin), which took 4 months to complete.
Plus...this skin was inspiring...and I had the motivation! XD

The King of Fighters is a series of fighting video games by SNK. This particular image is from a 
KOF 2000 wallpaper featuring, as previously mentioned, K' and Kula Diamond. They're my favorite 
couple ever! And I can't really explain too much about them because that would spoil A LOT of things. 
However, K' was the first character from KOF I took a liking too. My friend, Random, showed me 
some pictures of him, and as soon as I had one look at K', I immediately thought: "Hatsuharu! :D" 
(from Fruits Basket). So, all in all, K' is my favorite KOF and SNK character. And Kula is my favorite
female from KOF. Plus these two are SO CUTE together! They're not mushy at all...but...you just gotta
play the games (or read the comics) to find out! XD

This skin involved quite a bit of image editing. The base image alone was one big image editing fest.
See, the original image was flipped, with gray background, and parts of K's shoulder missing. I changed
all of that, added the rest of the background, made it red, and fixed K'. I also made Kula's eyes smaller.
*shrugs* I hope it looks okay...*hides* By the way, the skin may seem VERY RED. The red symbolizes
K' (he uses flames), while the icy purple symbolizes Kula (she uses ice). They're total opposites...wait,
I can't say anymore. XD But I love them. ^_^ And this whole thing was made in Paint Shop Pro 6. But
the base image had a little help from Microsoft Picture It! 2001. 

"Genesis of Next" is the ending theme song from the anime series Cyborg 009, and it's performed by
the Japanese group (??) Globe. It's very techno-y. And the song, title, vocals, music, everything
reminds me of K' and Kula. And the font I used thoughout this skin is Chemical Reaction A. 

I HAVE to thank Random for getting me into K', KOF, SNK, and fighting video games in general!
And I must thank Ninja!! Thank youuuuu both!! Much love!! ^__^

Truly, I don't remember, nor can I find any links, of where I found this wallpaper. But I still have it
on my computer, and I'll be more than happy to share it with anyone that's interested! For those
