Suikoden

I'm going backwards into the series; you can expect several more S1 skins now that I've gotten started.

Elza I've been intrigued by Elza since before I even had a name for her, after her non-appearance in S1 with the fake grave. "Clive, forgive me for not dying at your hand" or something very similar. And other than that I refer you once again to the links to GameFAQs and Suikosource. This image is from the Suikogaiden intro, and I got it, like the Nanami image, from RPG Dreamers. The skin's pretty simple (which is just a shocking development in my designs, no?), but I like it.
Odessa This comes with matching wallpaper for either 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 - the color scan used in both the wallpapers and the background of the skin came from Cat, and I've been owing her the skin for a while. Title comes from the lyrics of "Tonight, Tonight" by the Smashing Pumpkins, and lyrics are included in the readme file. The clasp on her cloak is the shuffle button (when it's pressed it's brighter) and the loop button, on her other shoulder, is invisible when not pressed.
Mathiu, with Leon and Odessa Mathiu scan from Darine; Leon and Odessa were snagged off RPGamer. I have issues with this skin, but I'll just keep my mouth shut about them because, as usual, I sustain the faint hope that other people won't notice them if they're not pointed out, or won't mind them. I will, however, tell you that the screencap sucks on toast. The actual skin is substantially better quality than this.
Cleo and Pahn I'm a McDohl-household girl. Always have been. Unfortunately, no one else seems to be, including the artists, and thus I had a hell of a time finding anything I could use for skins. I owe Darine enormously for the scans used in this one, and I'm happy with the results even if it is inexplicably brown. Title comes from an Aimee Mann song and portions of it certainly fit them until she starts talking about drugs. I'd like to say I'll make a skin with Pahn in the foreground later, but unfortunately that one's not all that likely.
Nanami I used the other title for Beatrix's theme song; it seemed like a good, reasonably fitting idea at the time, though on further reflection, it's loss of everyone but herself that she's concerned about... The image is from the Suikogaiden intro, which really does more to make me adore Suikoden 2 than does S2 itself. It makes for a very pastel, rather self-indulgent skin - I wanted to make it even if it is completely non-functional - but I like it quite a bit. You're not required to. This was my thing.
