My wall entry in round 1 of W.A.R. 2006(Looking forward to round 2 :D )
Presenting the manga series Akuma de Soro (The Devil Does Exist) by Takanashi Mitsuba I finished rereading the manga right when round 1 began so I went flipping through again to find the right image to introduce this "unknown" series
The wall is based on this black and white manga scan
I took a break after tracing the outlines to think about how to create a funky rock look...the only thing I knew was that I wanted to use song lyrics but didn't have a clue which song or how to use it... Finally the idea of using records hit me on the head...and I found myself humming JET's Are You Gonna Be My Girl... and it all came together
Technical details: 28 hours 50 layers Illustrator vector

This is a great wall. I like it. Especially the charas and the background, they are both great. Keep it up.

I like! Remind my the 70' years...this color circles on the back and all the letters around... like a disco or something like that! Thanks for sharing!

before I read your description I already knew Jet was going to be part of it. I love how you used records to fill the background, and the fact that you included the lyrics in a non-cliche way.

the idea of the text around the records is so cool and the whole wall is just so funky and makes you want to rock out. Nice colors and awesome vector work and overall just a great original wall. Great work as always~

Wonderful! I am a huge fan of this series and I see very few wallpapers for it. The records in the background are great, they go perfectly with the style of Kayano and Takeru. Cause their so stylish :) This is so cute.

XD From the little thumbnail I thought this was some sort of KH AkuRoku wallpaper.
This is equally good, though. I like the record theme.

This is a quite 'unknown' series, never heard of it... But no I have, thanks to the wallpapers here ^^ Anyways, I like the vector! At first I thought the scan was really good, until I read your description. Oh, and the idea to put the lyrics of the song on the "disk" (I don't know the right word for it..) is really good. And I can really see that it has a "funky rock look", so good job! ^^ Keep up the good work and hope to see more great ideas coming from you =)

Altough my comment comes kinda late and that is because this is the first time I see this wall I must say this you made a great wallpaper or better said a great vector and I loved those too very much,this manga was one of my favourite so I was expecting to see more scans or walls from it anyway seeing walls with them is allways a reason of joy for me. I really like the disco theme,the background suits them well and oh my gosh I love how you vectored them!

Oh my gosh, I would never have the patience to complete such a wallpaper. And 50 layers! @__@ I admire artists like you. I truly do. It is amazing, the kind of things you create...I especially admire all the time you spent painstakingly outlining the image. I love your coloring too!

WOW have never seen this manga before but seems pretty cool so I guess I should check it out before I pass any judgment n this beautiful art. Aw woops that is judgment isn't it lol oh well f_ck it I'm tired and have a lot of time on my hands so I guess I should put a little effort into commenting lol you can see what I'm trying to do and I really don't give a f_ck cuz theres this really cool MGS scan that I wanna download but I cant unless I gather enough papers. Oh btw awesome wallpaper really funky, the style of the drawing seems distinct among most anime haha. YAAAAAY!

Very nice! Great job for the whole theme. It's really funky rock! And yes, how you included the lyrics was unique. The colors turned out very well, keep it up!

I think Takeru has some problems with his face :) But i really love your backgrond and Kayano, nicely done.

hi, your job is nice, just try to put more effort, i think really is nice!! well the backgrround is kind of empty but dont worry because the colors you choose are equilibrated.
5 years, 4 months ago
I know that you made this quite a while ago, but this is my first time seeing it! And I hafta say, the way it's colored is absolutely beautiful! ^_^ Great job! <3

It's me again, lol. yeah, you could tell i really like this manga huh? Anyhow--once more, great job. I thought it was very creative of you to use this background. It gives it a kinda retro-feel (reminds me a bit of flashing lights haha) but upon closer inspection, they look more like old records. Very cool; so yeah, great job again!
