Months ago, a friend of mines requested I do some 'Dynasty Warriors' art. She's a fan of both Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun. So I came up with this.
Well one thing I skipped on doing that I normally do is extract. I didn't extract them at all, I decided to somehow joined the images together and used clone stamp to fill out the rest of the wall. The texture from the clone stamp and the original images were not the same so I had to do some tweaking with that too. Wanted to make Xiahou Dun's hand overlap Cao Cao. That was pretty fun to do.
The hardest part is trying to join them without it looking too off. Also I the colors and trying to make it look as one. I messed with the saturation on one layer and overlay on another (mostly around the face).
I put some red into it really to symbolize blood, but I didn't want it to be too obvious or rather not have the red stand out so much. Then used a paper texture...and voila, though I did more than this just would take awhile for me to explain everything.
Decided the text added a nice touch. :) The top says "Cao Cao" the middle is "Wei" and the bottom is "Xiahou Dun". (If my memory serves me correctly)
Original Images: Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun
Brushes: Scratchout
Texture: Old Paper Texture
Font: NSimSun (I think it was...)
Program: Photoshop 7.0
Music Motivation: Keiichi Okabe, Kakeru Ishihama, Keigo Hoashi, Takafumi Nishimura's "The Dark Colossus Destroys All" and "Blu-Bird"
Disclaimer: I know Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun are historical figures, but the characters on this wall of these two belongs to Omega Force and Koei. :)
God bless and have a nice day. :)

Incredible! I'm speechless. You can feel a lot of power by looking at this wallpaper. The two character really present a dominance and strength. The background is simple yet perfect for them, and it has a great mix of textures and colors.

mmm, walls displaying sheer old school manliness are such a rare sight... cant detect any particularly good or bad bits, which probably signifies a solid concept well executed hope to see more
