Right Under the Nose

falls over Finally...finished...it took me about three months and that's mostly due to things getting in the way of my time. Plus my mood kept going on this wild roller coaster so I did some of this here for a bit and then some of this there and yeah...

Originally a friend of mines told me he would love to see a wall of Yusuke meeting Lupin with the 'Cowboy Bebop' crew somewhere thrown in there. And this is how it started, I ended up doing more than that and including other characters because it just didn't feel the same without them somehow. XD

Also would love to thank K-Angel for being there for me while working on it. Being an extra pair of eyes giving advice and critique when I showed her my progress. I greatly appreciate it. =)

I knew I wanted this done before 2012 though, glad I made it in time. XD

I will not go into details on how I put this together or you'll be reading a novel right now, I'll just mention that not all of the wall is vectored. Only Yusuke, Lupin, Faye, Spike, Edward, Ein, Jet, Jigen, and Pops are the only things I vectored plus some little details on the posters themselves. The rest of it is pretty much done the traditional way of walling the extracting and all that jazz.

This wall made me change my mind on vectoring. Before I didn't really care for it, but I guess using it to where it feels convenient I think just made me realize how useful it can be and for that I am accepting it more. XD But please do not get too comfortable with me vectoring because I don't see it being a main technique I use in making wallpapers. XDDD

Overall this has been a journey and I loved every single minute of it. Been really fun. XD Plus I love these characters so that made it even extra fun. XD
