Layout Description
Welcome to my new Layout Description page. This page will change each time the
layout for my main page is updated and the comments will be archieved. I realized a lot
of the layouts I've made need credit given or that I'd like to elaborate more on who/why
the layout was chosen. Please enjoy.

Current Layout: happy holidays
Onmce again my layout features the imfamous Kenji von Scherudlich of
Unicorn's Lair fame. This is a sketchy drawing I got inspired to do early in the
morning of December 4th after racking my brain for something holiday-ish to do for a new
layout. It's dedicated to the kodoma of Mononoke Hime. =D The first layout they ever
appeared on for crackerboxpalace.com was the Christmas 1999 layout, so they're out in full glory in
this layout. They're just so cute. U, both the drawing and the CG of the image are
sketchy/badly done and this was for a reason. The writing for the image map is all my
own handwriting done at 4 or 5am after finishing the picture. Enjoy it's lovely sloppiness.
Here is the typical boring information on Kenji. It's mostly the same stuff on the previous layout page as well. Kenji was intially created by me for an Evangelion roleplay I was in. The setting took place
after the whole series, in a sort alternate dimention. I created Kenji as a twelve year old
child genius. His original profile and one of the very earliest drawings of him I did
can be found here: Character Profile:
Kenji von Scherudlich. Most all of the information is acurate and was brought over exactly
into the Unicorn's Lair universe.
His profile for Unicorn's Lair is located
here: k e n j i.
It's obvious to tell he's my favourite character
when you compare his image
archieve to all my other characters. His is the only one with
two pages, and it's about ready to go to a third. Now the question goes along to why I decided to
do a layout for the pretty redhaired German. Well, Kenji was awesome enough when I created
him with colourless eyes, orange-red hair and a double-major doctor/machanic at age twelve.
He's got a stand-offish attitude and really deserves it. I'm not entirely sure why I like
him so much, but he's definately my favourite of all my made up characters.
Kenji was brought to Unicorn's Lair because I love him so much. However, Kenji was far
from the main character in the series. He's a rather minor character that eventually dies,
but only after doing his badass moves. I've always had an affinity for children-warriors
or children-prodigies. Some of my favourites are Li Syaoran from Cardcaptor Sakura, Koganei
Kaoru from Flame of Rekka and Son Gohan during the Cell Saga of Dragonball Z. So, its
natural for me to like another child. And while Kenji is thin and pale and weak, he does get
his badass moments later in the series. ^_- Although unlike the lovely image on the layout
of him with wings, he doesn't have wings in
any of the stories he's in. Although, I've decided to throw Kenji into all of my
stories and manga's whether or not he's a minor cameo or a main role. It will always be
Kenji [or the boy with no name that looks like Kenji] but it'll be all alternate universe
Kenji's. He's like my special little baby, and I love him. I'm so lame. I always feel
weird gushing over a twelve year old boy. X_x;;; And I always tend to draw him to where he
looks nearly twenty. Ah well. He doesn't look too old in this one, fortunately. ^^
The splash page image is just one of the presents with the kodoma in front of it. Heh.
I drew little Cardcaptor Sakura-ish wings and put them on the kodoma and gave him a sort
of etheral glow and put the simple "happy holidays" on it and that was that. For you
font-a-holics, again I'm reffering to Laurana =D, the fonts used [besides my own scrally
handscribbling] were, for the splash page "Arcane" and for the "Merry Christmas" on the main
page I used "Bailey Script". Enjoy!
