"When You're Around" Featuring Shigure Sohma from Fruits Basket
Made by Ash
Completed on 9/20/02

My 11th skin, and this love child of mine took over about a month and a
half to complete. Maybe about two whole months if you include the
image editing that I did on Shigure. x.x;; So yeah...Fruits Basket is 
this REALLY great anime that's based on an even GREATER manga by
Takaya Natsuki. The first time I EVER heard of Fruits Basket was when
Animerica magazine http://www.animerica-mag.com/ did a review of the
anime in their Best of the East review like a year ago. But anyways, 
then I stumbled upon a fan scanlation website that translated the Fruits
Basket manga, called The Furuba Project (do a search on them, their 
address changes from time to time). I got SO into the manga...some parts 
were really funny, and some parts were REALLY sad. I always cry when 
Hatori's past is mentioned. *sobs* Then I eventually downloaded some of
the anime episodes from Kazaa. Good stuff.

So anyways, this particular image came from 
A Natural Aphrodisiac http://hizashi.net/natural/. Thanks. Image editing
for Shigure was done with Paint Shop Pro 6. Also, PSP 6, Microsoft Paint,
and Microsoft Picture It! Publishing 2001 were used in the making of 
this skin. I got distracted halfway through skinning this, and then 
school started...but it finally got done. XP

The title of this skin, "When You're Around", came from a Relient K song
of the same name.
The font used for this skin is Bickley Script.

By the way, Shigure isn't my favorite character from Fruits Basket...
Hatsuharu is!! ^_^ And I love Momiji and Ayame too, and Shigure, of
course...and Kyou...XD

The next Fruits Basket skin I'll do is of Hatsuharu Sohma! I LOVE
Haru-san!!! ^_^

Take care, and enjoy. Peace.
