I lied. I said my next Gankutsuou wallpaper would feature Haydee, and I now have a scan all picked out for it but after buying the Gankutsuou Complete book and falling in love with the cover I had to wall that first, because the Haydee wall will be a long, involved trace and this would not. This is based off of the front cover of Gankutsuou Complete and features the main protagonists, Albert, Franz and Eugenie. I moved everyone so they're more directly standing behind Albert instead of staggered behind him (mostly the whole vertical->horizontal transition of book cover to wallpaper). The original background was a textured leather, and since I already had a set of textures that closely resembled it I was ready to go! The lineart in the background was scanned off the back cover of the guidebook, from the art underneath the slipcover. It's the Count's crest, and you can see a sword crossed over a heart in front of a blazing sun, the isle of Monte Cristo itself, and the sea. I altered it so that it was just the sun and clouds. I was aiming at the style of the opening sequence "We Were Lovers" with its faded browns and stuff. I ran around with about a dozen titles for this wallpaper; originally I tried to use something from the song "We Were Lovers" but nothing fit, so I ran through an online French/English dictionary. "The Naive" describes these three well, which sprang from another failed title idea "The springtime of our youth". So I stayed with it. This wall is designed as a set; see also "Le Genie" which features the other main character, the sexy Count himself. You could even dualscreen the wallpapers if you had such a setup; Les Ingenus on the left and Le Genie on the right. Additional resolutions are available.

Finally a wallpaper with Eugenie and Albert... but... too bad she looks so far off in the background. All the specks/**** on Albert and Franz don't work for me at all, either.

It's lovely! I don't know if this is going to work, but you could try using a different texture on the characters, so that it will look collaged. Just a suggestion. :)

I'll tell ya... Gankutsuou's an anime that makes me sick. The art style is so... different. I dont like it.

Enough of my pointless blabbering. You did a good job on the wall!

I love the original scan to death (Thanks, by the way :) ). I was thinking of walling it, but I think I'm just going to use this one now. I love the textures going on this wallpaper, also. Good job!

i love the foreground picture, it really shows off the best aspects of the characters and the filters complement the picture so much. even though the art is really crisp, it makes it seem older and adds character to it

Yay! A sweet wallpaper of the childhood friends. I love Gankutsuou so much and a big part of that is watching these three interact with oneanother. I'm so glad to be able to have a wallpaper of the three of them together!

I seem to fall in love with everything you create. XD The other side of the Ganku art book cover; I'd love it just for that, but you manage to somehow improve even the best images. Very well done.

It's interesting how the concept art of the series fits those effects so common in image editing programs.

Talking about concept, you developed a quite interesting one in here. Naive was really a nice choice for this wallpaper. It fits the characters well, especially Albert.

That's a great wall. Gonna fav right now.
