Gimme Some Skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnn~

[shiay]

Oh baby, not so rough~ <3

All right WDers, guess what?

*waits*

... Okay forget it, I'll just tell you: It's time for a new skin up on here. However, before I jump the gun and just make one with whatever I have available to me, I want your opinions. Like how I personally like the purple skin we have currently -- though it could stand to be a bit darker.

So here's the dealio, kiddies and RPers. I want you to tell me what colours we should be seeing on WD that would be easy on the eyes and okay to handle everyday till we come to that time where I ask you this same question and we get a new skin made.

Personally? I'm thinking of a grey/white/black/gold kind of skin. But hey... not what I like is going to be what others like. Whatever the popular vote falls on will be the colours that we'll be getting up on site.

Now discuss. Go, go, go.

No fighting. I will maim you if you do.

Black and gold, with maybe a bit of gray would be perfect.

I think that the Heartless could be black, the Light gold, and the Nobodies gray. We could sort of randomize the site with their different colors.

[rayfrost]

Clearly needs more blue.

having light = gold is rather... blegh, imo. Gold is a representation of wealth and power - clearly, good guys almost always have Not Enough Money while the bad guys virtually always have More Than Enough Money. If we go with a standard 'color' for each, I think it should be a small range rather than just one solid color.

For example, heartless could be black, purple, dark blue, good guys could be green, brown, and white, and nobodies could be grey, monochrome, and some other bland, metallic color.

I'd also think that, if we have different skin sets, that we could expand upon just colors and be able to change the banner as well (heartless/nobodies instead, etc) ^.^" just a thought.

If it is just a solitary skin set, then I think that having different colors for each is not really feasible. In which case, we'll have more solid colors than a large range, meaning I'd prefer blue, blue, and blue as the options. Though, if I had to be lenient... maybe blue, black, and purple.

Having the site randomize between them would be... unpleasant.

Imagine somebody getting used to black when suddenly the site skin turns gold! That'd be eye searing.

Randomization is definitely a no, imo, unless the colors are very similar (in which case, why are we even bothering with different colors?).

[shiay]

... Who said anything about the site having a skin randomizer in the first place is my question. ; I meant my idea for a skin would be a combination of those colours, I didn't say that I'd be putting something in place to switch through skins. Screw that, I'd rather just make one. I'm too lazy for five million.

Personally, I think thta a gold (depending on the shade) Can be quite difficult on the eyes, especially if used in contra\st to other colours, I would prefer if the gold was changed to a semi dark blue.

The grey I like but remembering that light shades struggle to stand out AND be easy on the eyes, what we have at the minute is a perfect combination of Dark for the boxes and light background. I would love to see your ideas though.

So in my little conclusion a Semi dark blue, black, white and grey would look quite nice. Tell me what you think and thanks

[rayfrost]

I agree with herby.

Because of this, herby gets one cookie.

[Bluebird]

In all honesty, it was the lack of black and gold that drew me to this site. Most Kingdom Hearts role play boards have those colors in it, and this was delightfully different and unique, in my opinion.

That being said, I've mentioned before about how much I like the current color scheme, but if we're thinking of something different, I have noticed that the purple is not very bright. However, it's definitely easy on the eyes, and something a with a little more blue in it might strain a little more.

I like the color scheme of yellow, blue and purple, for no particular reason. ^^

I think also we should look into some red. The heartless emblem is red, so if we're talking about schemes for groups, I say keep it in reference to the games, with Heartless as red, Nobodies as white, and maybe the good guys as blue.

I second Herby's idea, too. If we're going to use gold, I think we should use it for splashes and to accentuate things, but maybe not to use it specifically for a group or purpose.

I'd like to say that I prefer black text. Comes of growing up reading stuff on paper:P

[colonelaro]

I agree. But uh. Silverish color could be good

[halen2020]

How about skins based on the Heartless and Nobodies? It could have the emblems scattered around the site, and the banners could be of common enemies. Heck, you could even make a skin for pureblood heartless and emblem heartless.

Possible list of colors based on colors common to each group. (colors can be rearranged)

Nobody skin: Nobody Symbol
Primary: Silver
Secondary: White
Background: Steel
Text: Black

Emblem Heartless Skin: Heartless Symbol
Primary: Black
Secondary: Red
Background: Yellow
Text: White

Pureblood Heartless: No Symbol
Primary: Black
Secondary: Dark Purple
Background: Dark Blue
Text: White

Well seeing how some of the graphics here are stuck in the header and footers. No one wants to make multiple skins to fit them. =o Change your skin now and you will still see all the bloody purple. Aaand a lot of this place stuff is in the headers and footers.

XD funny how skins been a past discussion between me doogies and the antiquey

1.) Summerish feel
So sunset colors and if colors are chosen right it won't be overwhelming with such as using the tones, tints, and shades from a similar color, and I'm definately with keep the type in black.

So some typical orange,yellow-orange, yellow, and some blues (=o We like sea-salt icecream)

probably jazz it up making it vibrant, but not WARG like this

Another cute looking one...if only there was some papou fruit and sea salt icecream...yum

Another cute ooone

Those style and excessive usage of color would be hot for banner and headers for the windows, which calls for not so wild with overall background and what not (shall stop before going all D.I.D)


2.) Some of us really thinks it will looke cute...green in here. Sure you'll want to KH it up. Sooo what's greeen. Green is for good health liiike we hope for this site, especially with the staff coming back in action. << >> I can see cute little moogles with potioons. Sure it isn't specific IC group like heartless, nobodies, darkness, and light 8O but there's more to this rpg then the plot sooo we can also do a community connotation of this place versus...obvious KH plot orientated.

(Hey maybe when we start doing really well member wise, working together, etc, we can do drive form color schemes. That sounds smexy)

Spitballing here/

[iuma]

I like blue.


... yep that's all I can add to this discussion. Not a single thing more.

Oh, those are pretty! I kinda like the thing with the floating islands - I'm not sure how it would translate, but that seems like kind of a motif here. Little floating bits of land.

I like the idea of something bright and summery and not all 'omgheartless.' Haven't we been trying to make it less 'cannon=all' around here anyway?

[Ellie who has 0%]

Now that you mention it...that can go pretty well FLOATING spats of land, since they would be mere...silhouettes so immense detail won't be needed. Little floating land connected by shiny shimmering stream of light...pew pew



totally can't blame me for loving the cuteness of chibis. o3o I also find it smexy for a 'How many licks does it take to finish a sea salt icecream?' Cute charrie oor rper << >> in messy icecream goodness. O3O oooh I can see them be posted all over the place...how cuuute.

[Charme]

Oh! I do enjoy the thought of an evening, Destiny Islands theme.

If there was any place in the game that was relaxing, it was Destiny Islands. The music, colors, and feel were of content and peace. I love the thought of a twilit beach theme.

But we might want to tone it down a little bit. It's really bright, and in time, I think it would start to hurt out eyes.
