AP Clash of the Wallers 2010!!Flyin and I are hosting/sponsoring a big AP competition this summer, idea taken after the late Clash of the Titans movie >D.
My take on this theme was Greek style + Japanese style fusion. I actually skimmed through some museum websites showing Greek pottery art, and followed their general color scheme and art-nouveau type style (yeah, also inspired by the last MT theme, which I can't wait to show you guys too XD). Then added a bunch of Japanese origami designs (we all love pretty kimonos on pretty men >P). This is also my messiest vector EVAR. AND I LOVED IT. Nothing more fun than breaking down barriers +w+.
I'd been working on this wall since the weekend actually, and didn't get much chance to finish until last night and early at dawn this morning +_+. So here's the promo wall for the biggest comp since Battlegrounds!! / o / _________________________________________

Awesome wall to promote the contest. I snagged the banner to match this wall a bit ago before I knew there was a wallpaper for it. (XD) I really like the style and the colors, they are both so bold! +fav

The origami designs on this wallpaper looks really nice. The vector, although messy, is amazing. The messy style matches it very nicely.

This looks absolutely gorgeous! I love how you worked on a new unique style for this wallpaper. It's very different from the other wallpapers that i see from this category. So good work on the creativity part. ;) Love the colors too! Overall it's a perfect promo wall for this contest. :D

ZOMG, love the Greek/Japanese style combo! And the details that remind me of the pottery are awesome, too (being an art history freak, this made my day). And messy vectors FTW!
Awesome job, Jay! < 3

WOW another blasting unique style wallpaper. you know you always surprise me with unique styles.
When I view it as a sole wallpaper I just find the characters sided to the right but when I set it up as my desktop BG it fits perfectly - the characters arent cluttered with the icons! The way you place the font fits the BG perfectly like it was part of a wall instead of just ordinary placing of texts.
+fav hot bishies!

I wish this was walled at a bigger resolution :[, I can't use it. I love hakuouki art and the colors and patterns that you used are so nice!

@Shinonxx- much higher resolutions can be procured on lady Jay's site.
all i can say is that this is one of the greatest "promo" walls i have ever seen. love the patterns, fusion of art styles, type, characters etc.
ps. can't wait to see your Art Noveau entry for MT Knockout. :)

This cannot be. There is a bishi wall out there that I would proudly put on my desktop? The world must truly be ending!!
Boy oh boy, it seems like I spend the majority of my time on here commenting on your work. Well, I certainly don't mind, especially when it's creative pieces like this that infuse a Greek style design with a traditional Japanese one. By far, my favorite part of this are the elements of Art Nouveau mixed into this wallpaper. The choice of colors and stylized background really remind me of autumn. So much so that when I close my eyes, I can smell the crisp fall air and feel the leaves crunching beneath my feet. I have to say that, yet again, I have never seen someone go with such a bold style, taking in so many different sources and combining it into one glorious background.
In terms of the vector itself, what can I say? I'm glad that you're breaking down barriers. Sometimes it takes a person working outside of their comfort zone, or taking a completely new take on something fairly common to be able to really create something unique. The incredible detail of their kimonos and unique style to them really it by far the best feature about this wallpaper. In fact, so much so to where I'm actually tempted to go watch this series simply because of the vector alone.
The text, the background, the ground-breaking vector. What else can I possibly say? You constantly evolve in terms of style and each piece you submit is unique and breath-taking. I will be honest, I did really like the original "Clash of the Titans" text you had, simply because it fit the wall a bit better, but this fits the overall contest, so I can see why. I hope that you will continue to break down barriers. Do I even need to say that this is a favorite? Well, it is. Sexy bishi goodness...I mean, it's a great wallpaper! Yeah, that's what I meant.

Wow! I normally don't like busy walls but this one is really awesome!
2 years, 11 months ago
Ahaha! This is really cool, I'm glad I read the description or else I'd had complained about everything but now the wall makes complete sense. I love when people get their inspiration from traditional artwork! Art itself can be a great source of inspiration :3

2 years, 11 months ago
Oh how I've always loved Ancient Greece's art, and I think you did a great job using that inspiration into a vector The vibrant colors and high saturation make it look amazing, and who knew such different artistic styles could be merged into something really interesting +fav
and totally I deserve a cookie for writing something decent and not mentioning their bishieness xD (it was really hard)
2 years, 11 months ago
WOW!!! O.O
Gorgeous work, Jay! Combine Greek with Japanese style (and with this beauty bishies ♥) was a very cool idea, it's perfect! Really awesome! *still admiring*

The wall is exceptional! Great work! +

Am digging everything in this wall. The orange is perfect for a 'descending' scene, which I can't explain why X3
Though I have to agree with you this wall is a tad busy. Japanese style Art Nouveau indeed. I like the vector, and damn I have to also agree pretty kimono on pretty men.

I thought for sure I had already faved this wall but I guess not. I love how this wall is so complexly simple. It's like tons of shapes and layers and yet some of the simplest projects are the most complex. Love this did I say that yet...Oh I did well I'll say it again and again and again to the end of time. +Fav
