so ya, here's my entry for the DERKA competition (http://po-taters.tamashii.org) which I'm sure you've heard plenty about. I hope you aren't getting sick of these. Nevertheless, here it is!

I spent a great deal of time on creating my own world of sorts. We had to work with the scan, letting it be the main focus of the wall so basically I went about recreating the background of the scan. Well, that smoothly, and out of nowhere I started getting inspiration for the fantasy-esque tree scene at the left. The rest was a challenge compositionally speaking. x.x I also wanted a division in the wall that lead the focus up to the characters - that probably took the longest to get right.

Lots of layers, lots of time, hopefully you get sucked in and explore it for yourself. That is, after all, my goal - your enjoyment! x)

enough talk, it's 1:40 AM. T_T

oloooooh :o i like the abstractness of it. very very nice xD i've been waiting to see your entry (yourss an nuni's) i'm sure you'd agree working with that weird staircase made it rather difficult to easily create a scene, since it's so akward, but nevertheless you did a beautiful job of it. basically, ima let your work speak for itself and ****my mouth. really nice job, baka. hopefully you won't brutally murder me in the contest though xD

Ooooohhhh. That's all I'm saying on account of me judging. I think Taters decided to offer suggestions to everyone. I think. . .

It's so exciting that you're posting. XD

Wowsers! Another beautiful and wierd looking wallie.. I really love this one... it looks almost like a picasso painting.. everything looks so abstract,. Looks absolutely lovely! I like the characters, they fit in nicely with the bg. And the wierd looking staircase.. looks like a fantasy dream.. O.o You did a really nice job! Good work!

The downloaded wall look different on the downloaded one :-/ it look better though so np. There's nothing much for me to comment, except one word: chaostic. +fav for the creativity.

kewl stuff, very abstract indeed, at first i didnt understand the bg looked a while longer and was like waaaaaaaaa! its good but i think the green character, kinda killed it, it doesnt really go that well but its still good nonetheless

So cool. The more I look at it, the more I like it. The kanji takes some getting used to, though. I don't know, it's a little distracting at first.

Good luck with Derka (as if you need it, but Good Luck anyways)! XD

Ooooh xD Stunning :D I think I agree with nuni about the kanji :3 They're so brightly colored in comparison to everyone else. This is cool though... creativity-wise X3 I love calligraphic bamboo. Best of luck with the contest xD

hmmm, you may be right about the kanji. I originally just had it black but it looked pretty bland that way. I've gotten used to it, and I like it, haha. Perhaps too bright a shade of green? I'll change it for personal use, but the submission will stay as is. Thanks for the comments and suggestions!

Oh, I must mention that this is what most of my walls look like in some form or fashion.. abstract, artistic (at least I hope so), visually stimulating. It makes things more fun for me personally and lets me try something new every time. Again, thanks for your support!

oh shit. This is just mind blowing XD I believe this is the first wall you submitted in AP....ah well, I saw your gallery in pondernot and Banime, and I began anticipating your entry XD The bg is beautifully done...the abstract of it all is just simply amazing. I'm uneasy with the colours you applied to the wall, but they work =P Very original...I like it =D +fav

Oh...your composition for the wall is impressing me as well, you switched the dark in to the light part and the light in the dark part. nice contrast and a some good touch ups, just...the girl looks a bit small..so the dark side is dominating the wall ._.~! haha nice job on this one.

Awesome O.O I do like it a lot! It's chaotic, but somehow looks like everything has it's place XD

Hm... a very interesting composition, although it's a bit too complex and confusing for me. There's just too much going on. Still, it's very nice.

First...YOU SPELLED PIXELATED WRONG YOU WHORE! second, i'm not a fan of all of amano's work either. actually, it's his more popular stuff that i don't really like. his more realistic stuff, and his more pop stuff is what i prefer, although i do really like the scan. now, fr an actual critique. i give you a lot of credit for coming up with a unique idea that avoided extraction (since you were bitchin about it from day 1 xD ) don't blame you though. it's far from easy. the pirate theme is cool, and always fun! (like my storyboarding project...) and you did a nice job at keeping it interesting. overall it's a nice job, but you've done much better. now go do something fun!
