The Sky Crawlers Looking Down At The Sky

So where to start...

I had mega fun with this wall. I've been wanting to do a wall of Kannami and Kusanagi ever since I finished watching "The Sky Crawlers" film, but around that time I was going through a depression so my art was put on paused. Now with my spirits uplifted, motivated, and inspired, I finally created this! =D Took me...well I extracted them months ago, I worked on the wall or started working on it all yesterday and finished it around close to 5am EST. XD

I was looking for newspaper stock online, but decided to just use newspapers around the house. XD Which was fun to work with. :3 Vosh-bear helped me out with some suggestions. He also drew the cigarettes on photoshop for me. XD Hmm...thinks alot of brush work and messing with the burn tool. Layers upon layers...messing with the blending. I'm not very good at explaining technical. <.<;

I love this film though. It is slow in the beginning, but once it starts up its very intriguing. Couldn't stop watching it. =D
