Serial Experiments Lain: B.S.o.D.
by Ragabash
an "I'm Bored" Production
Finished 6/5/00

Yeah yeah, so it seems a bit more colorful than your average Lain image.  Well, paradoxially it's colorful, and then not colorful at all (because it only has 3 primary colors).  Whatever.

As for the title, B.S.o.D., it was picked because my computer kept crapping out on me while making this skin.  Most ironic considering the Lain anime series.  The Wired apparently decided to buck my connection.  :p  A B.S.o.D. is a Blue Screen of Death, when your Windows O/S flips out and gives you, well, a blue screen that has some error or other on it and then your computer rolls over and dies.  My computer, Omoikane, B.S.o.D.'ed on me three times while working on this skin.  It was fate, I guess.

I wanna make a real B.S.o.D. into a screensaver.  Then just to be evil, load that screensaver onto everyone else's computer at work.  

This skin is also a remake of the original which, if I have anything to say in the matter, will never be released.  It's so UGLY it's astounding.  For B.S.o.D. it also partly experimental.  You can barely see it but the main and the equalizer have individual borders.  The background was another experiment in 3-D rendering, layered over with another shot out of the Lain series.

It's not my fault that I'm using Windows!  :p  Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

Please do not post this skin to other web archives without notifying me first.  I'd really really appreciate it if you asked before you did it.
