**GB IS LIVE!! GB Thread Here!**

Welcome to the IC post for my very first set, ePBT Rin!
**The Inspiration**
This set was inspired by the colours of the main character of an anime-style music video, for one of my favourite songs (Shelter), by two of my favourite artists (Porter Robinson & Madeon)!
More

I wanted the set to capture her hair, dress and room with the light & dark pink alphas and mods, while the accent of blue captures the pale, empty sky that usually surrounds her. This is my first set, but I really wanted to make sure I do the inspiration justice and create something for anyone who is a fan of the character, song, artist or just the colours themselves.
P.S. Porter fans will know that today is a very special day, so I wanted to post my IC today in honour of Nurture’s release!
I am open to all kinds of feedback and will make changes and adjustments based on what I get in the Interest Check Form, so I would really appreciate it if you had some time to fill it out ^-^

Deskmats:
I have also taken feedback for the deskmat designs into account and I am combining the current version for the one that has Rin in it and the previous version, to get this version below! Let me know if you would prefer the new version or not in the updated IC form :) I will stick with the new version unless I have comments saying to revert to the previous blue background version!

NEW Virtual Landscape

Samples of the deskmats came in! Pictures (the lighting is not very great unfortunately) are below. I will be changing the stitching for Rin’s Room to a light pink, but aside from that I am very happy with how these turned out!
