Not many of you will recognize this. Its actually a parody of Supertramp's album, "Famous Last Words". If there are any fans out there, you might enjoy the Lain adaptation, if not...then I doubt you'd dig such a simple wallpaper.
When I first saw the origina image, I knew I was going to wall it. It took a considerable amount of time even if it seems otherwise. I vectored the hand and the character standing on the rope from some Lain scans found on AP. When doing so, I decided to be more detalied about these vectors than my usual monochrome ones, if you look closer at the coloring and sadowing, you'd see more colors than usual. The chord I did on my own, it took a while to get the prespective of it right. The background is a simple triple color gardient..or was it 4 colors? I don't remember. Anyway, this was the first time I've used a star field in a long time, thank god I had an old of mine laying around. The final touches included the light and the texture from DA. When the whole thing was done, it lacked life. Even though the original is rather empty, I thought that maybe using slightly more vivid colors might help, and so I pulled the gaussian blurr+overlay trick.
Don't blame or request that I fix the positioning of the title or wording. I've decided to stay true to the original art and I will.

really sometimes i love your sources of inspiration, the simplicity of the wall and the nice use of colors in addition to the cool vector work just come together for lack of a better word "awesomely" lol. Though this is taken from a cd cover it kind of fits the overall concept of Lain which is prettycool, can't say much about this but that it's well done and well thought out, and that gets a fave from me!

although i've never heard or seen that album, i still really like this wall. even though it's simple, it's not boring and it's a cool lain adaptation of the supertrmp album. you got the perspective of the string spot on, the vectored hand looks great and making the colours a bit more vivid was a good choice. i just wish you had a non-widescreen version.. well anyways, keep up the great work!

nah, that is simply ql. i have no idea about the supertramp, dunno the guy ;] but i liked this wall straight from the thumbnail. the thing is not only it has some 'power', but the so called empty background isn't really that empty. i actually should learn how to make such brushed [?] gradients...

This caught my attention once I saw the thumbnail. I really like the theme (although it's taken from the CD cover) and it has some magic aura to it. It is a shame that isn't in a suitable resoulation for my desktop.

Your wallpapers always catch my attention, and this one isn't any different. Can't really say much other than the fact that this well, well executed. I love the Lain feeling of it. So true, so true. Keep it up.

Unfortunately, I haven't listened this cd or the group, so maybe I miss something about the wp; buut, I think the idea suits perfectly with the series. Also, the perspective you get with the hand and all the composition is right. I've don't have nothing else to add. Good job!

The wall is actually like a piece of art! Not too complex, not too simple. It stands out like any piece of simple artwork. I like the subtle changes and how you managed to amplify the color. Definitly a fav! Cool theme and concept :)

Spankin' hot, we're going to kick some ass against EVI.
I already told, loving the "subtle" feel to it. And so simple it's a crime.

I always love it when an artist is inspired to work with something such as a CD cover, like you have here. The resemblence between the CD art and your wallpaper is amazingly close, and while originality isn't something this wallpaper stands out for, it's the fact that you made it happen with that Lain scan. The vector is really nicely done, and it's awesome that you stayed true to the original concept and didn't change the text around.
Cool work.

Amazing, i still need alot of skill to reach that level i guess..... what i like the most is that you turned a non anime pic into a anime one...and mostly that hand which is about to cut the rope....nice work!
