Damn, I'm not really in the description-making mood... [strike]so I'll just make it short[/strike]. -.-
This was for the Crimson Orchestra's last battle. It was against The Foundation. We had to create a wall from a category that had no previous walls. I chose Killer 7. If you haven't played it, do so now. ;3
We also had to have a border, but for the AP version I won't have one just because I suck at making borders.
So basically, I started off vectoring a scan of Dan... that took really long to make. There are so many shades of color that you wouldn't even believe me. xD The shape layers in Illustrator were 145 I believe. o.O
I then ported it over to Photoshop where I made the entire background from scratch.
Then there is the meaning the wall... It's all inspired by The Mars Volta. Cut That City is one of their songs and the billboard points to it. The cross in the city is supposed to be a crusified Jesus. It's a modern-day one where tanks and planes are out to kill him. The city's name is Amputecture, which is for amputaded architechure. In Meccamputechure, it talks about humans being ornaments in God's arm which he will amputate. The bullets were made and they were placed that way so it leads the eye into the city.
I, myself am not a religious person, but... Meh. xD
Here is the white border version which I submitted to The Battlegrounds:
And finally; the inverted border version which Kalico seemed to like:

Nice vector there! I love the background you did. You vector everything very well. The style is very interesting too. It's simple but unique. You vectorized the man very well (he looks like MEN IN BLACK) lol Great job, keep that up ;)

Very nice!
The only thing that looks off to me is the trails behind the jets...usually they are pretty straight behind the jets, and don't turn all squiggly until the jets have been out of sight for a while and the wind gets to them.

I'm sad that this passed unnoticed.. because I didn't notice it.. ;_; maybe because i've been pretty hectic lately. anyways... why "cut that city" ? -----> in no position to read the description D: what i like about this wall?
