EDIT: Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! It's truly an honor to be highlighted.

So I was just looking around the Scan Gallery and came across these two for Princess Mononoke:http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Princess-Mononoke/item34930/http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Princess-Mononoke/item18945/The placement of the two and the angle were just so similar that I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Plus that empty space in front of the wolf was just begging to be filled.

The problem with compilation is that if you put a lot of work into it and get it right, no one believes that you even did anything. I'm still glad it came out as well as it did though there still are some things that could be improved upon. I really don't see many shots of both Ashitaka and Mononoke being bad@ss together so I wanted to accomplish that with this piece. Yes Ashitaka is supposed to be the "peace maker" and everything but... well... yeah, call it a moment of weakness on my part.

While I didn't vectorize the image, I did completely repaint San, Ashitiaka, the deer, and wolf since the scans were rather messy. I also re-inked Ashitaka since I had to shrink him down and intensified all the shadows on him to fit the surrounding environment. Then I painted him a normal arm, a few more arrows, and his scar.

The fire was made completely by me and was certainly the most enjoyable part of this endeavor. I had never done fire before so it was a new challenge. I was really trying to capture a "moment in time" with this, thus the blur effect to give everything more movement. So many walls nowadays are just some character standing wistfully in front of a pretty sky or design. I wanted to really give more action to this piece.

I had planned on making a longer title but... I dunno... personally, I don't think it needs more. War is such a short word but it signifies so much. Love, hate, anger, pain, death, fear, freedom, oppression, desire for peace. So many feelings that can be expressed by a simple, three letter word. I was worried that the text would really flatten the depth of the image but I think it worked out fine. I made it small because in a way I wanted to signify how the word itself can not seriously emote the horrors that arise from it. We take the concept of war so lightly at times; in text books, video games, movies, and the daily newspaper. I wanted to bring that concept forth as well.

Went for the widescreen effect again because Miyazaki is just that epic. Truth be told, I worked on this piece and didn't attempt to crop it to a wall resolution until finishing. I couldn't bring myself to nearly cutting the thing in half to abide by the necessary wallpaper sizes. So instead I gave it the movie appeal. I had half the mind of just putting it up at Widescreen 1920x1200 but decided that it would then be unusable by a majority of the populace on AP. I'm afraid I don't know how to post up more than one resolution on here (I tried checking the AP Guide but found nothing). If someone has any pointers on how to do it, I'd be happy to post up a widescreen version. My apologies.

It's a very intense image so I can understand why it might not be considered good "wallpaper material" seeing as it might be rather busy on your desktop. Nonetheless, I did enjoy making this piece and am glad that I finished it. Please tell me what you think if you have a moment. :)

I absolutely love it :) The quality is great and the motion implied by the image is just beautiful. Great use of scans... colors are rich... epic is all that can be said to describe it. Isn't too busy a scene for my taste, I think it's an excellent paper. I'd love to d/l a widescreen version without the black bars hint hint nudge nudge. Faves :3

Great use of motion blur - a very difficult skill to master in wallpapers. You've really done a great job of focusing on the characters and emphasizing the motion of the piece. You really deserve the hilighted spot and all the dozens of favourites I'm sure you'll get! Keep up the excellent work!

Nice wall and the whole job you did on the scans was great.However I don't approve of the comment you made on today's walls about a single character and the sky.I mean stuff like that is what goes on a desktop .... I really wouldn't like seeing a rabid goat jumping out of the screen every time I turn on my PC.

Oh! No no, I didn't mean those types of walls are bad, just that I see so many of those nowadays so that I wanted to do something different. I completely agree that I wouldn't want something so intense on my desktop all the time ^^;; Sorry if I said that in a way that would cause any confusion.

And thank you tremendously to everyone who's commented on this. Your words really help me have more faith in my skills as an artist. I know that if we all just focus our skills on a goal we really care about we can create wonders. :)

amazing! only 2 hours and its already highlighted. I think this is definitely worthy of a highlight. I agree with shinn about how its totally different from what we usually see.

So many walls nowadays are just some character standing wistfully in front of a pretty sky or design. I wanted to really give more action to this piece.

I totally agree! Personally, I think action pieces are so hard! if you make mistakes on the blurring, the piece can come out so odd-looking and you cant get the effect you want. But the way you did is perfect. Not so much blurring that you can't tell whats going on, but enough so that they look like theyre going at high speed!

hahah, when I first saw the wallpaper I actually thought this scene occured in the movie (thats how good this is!) and then I realized that Ashitaka originally wasnt in the little stampede. hehe.

fire looks very realistic and awesome!

Fantastic piece of work. You truly did mange to capture the intensity and essence of the moment in this wallpaper. I would also like to compliment you for the awesome job of using motion blur which is executed with much skill (I'm typically not a fan of this kind of blurring but this is a great exception!).

It is of no surprise that your favorite portion of the project; the embers look realistic and animated and generally add levels of action to your wallpaper rather than just being unnecessary noise as apparent in some other walls.

My only gripe is that you didn't decide to release it in 1920x1200 resolution as planned (I'll probably PM you for a request later, so don't be surprised)!

Certainly a highly regarded piece of work here, definitely a top pick this month. Thank you for your work and efforts!

God do i love this movie, my favorite of all ghibli films. I was doing to do a very similar wallpaper to this (with that same scan and all) and I kinda put it off cause it required alot of work, good thing I did cause you made this wallpaper and it came out GREAT. Love the colors, atmosphere... ugh! too bad it's not widescreen!

it's certainly a nice idea. and great execution. but I feel that there can be more to make the scenen GranDeR. especially color wise. sort of give the characters a more popping feel like they're going to rush towards you out of the screen. using the appropriate colors can help achieve that! great work!

What a beautiful idea! Just wow. Can't believe how well those scans can fit together just looking at each individually. Just the fact that you saw this opportunity is amazing, something I'd have never thought of. I can't wait until we get the wide screen version as well!

The motion blur really gave the movement you intended and I do especially love the added flame effect. Just so naturally war-like and fits well with the whole scene! Of course, really appreciate the repainting of the characters to fit them with the glowing flames.

Great piece and hope to see more from you!

I...I absolutely cannot believe what you did. Do you realize what you've made? A masterpiece.. A true, original masterpiece. The combination of both scans fits in so perfectly that it made me think that you just used one scan originally. Everything about this wall..is just flawless. This is by far one of the BEST walls I have seen in a long time and by far the BEST Princess Mononoke I have ever had the privilage to lay eyes upon. I do have to admit though, I only wish it was a bit bigger so I could use it on my desktop, but alas. Still, I feel honored just by being able to view this magnificiant work of art. Favorite for me, biiig time favorite =3. You are absolutely amazing.

You have definitely over come one of the hard skill that most designer couldn't able to do. You able to bring layer of two different event and manage to adjust the motion, blur, and brightness for both character that blend into one fantastic event. When I look into this picture it give me the panic, danger and thrill feeling as I was one of the character in there. This is great skill that many hope to achieve and you give me aspire and example that I could use to enchant my design. Nicely done! ^^

The amount of work you put in really has paid off. The image looks like it should have always been that way and I love the addition of the "embers". You really get the feel of the end of the film in this wall and that's why it work so well. I think I may be biased though as Princess Mononoke is one of my favourite films XD

Congrats again and I'm definatly going to have to add this to my faves.

my goodness! i haven't faved a wall in quite some time, but this one DEFINITELY deserves the credit. seriously.. wow. the repainting and everything is amazing and the way you placed the scans together is flawless. the blurring also really adds to the movement of the piece. the colours you used for sky are great and the fire is perfect! ahh i love it!! haha. the only beef i have with it (and it's not even anything major) is with the text. the font is fine but the placement of it is kind of bugging me... maybe if it was rearranged in such a way that it wasn't like a pyramid or something it may be better... i know how hard it is to use text when you work so hard on the rest of the wall though, so it's not even a big deal because the rest is AMAZING!

keep up the great work!

At first I thought this was another blown up scan or vectorised image (though thought there would be something else if it were a highlighted wallpaper), but after reading about how you made it and seeing the original scans, I'm very impressed.

You're right: If none were the wiser, it'd look like you didn't do anything at all. But that in itself means that you did a great job at composition. Well done on a vibrant piece.

Yeow, great work on this wallpaper. Miyazaki is great, but Mononoke Hime, is even better. And that makes your wallpaper something godlike... or something like that. The action is well accentuated as are the colours. Very nice work.

This wall makes you wanna see the movie again. The intension from the movie is brought into this wall really good. It's an excellent wall. I just love the animals running in beside the characters.

blurring matches the dynamics perfectly. a nice combination of the two original scans. you wonder if you are seeing a shot from the movie.

Nice wall! I saw this one featured a while back, but I've been so slow in checking it out. Its a great action shot that you used, the blurring of the actors with the focus on the two main characters makes for a great image. Plus, though its a small thing compared to the rest of it, I really like what you did with the title text. Its a nice effect.

Nice wall and the whole job you did on the scans was great.However I don't approve of the comment you made on today's walls about a single character and the sky.I mean stuff like that is what goes on a desktop ... I really wouldn't like seeing a rabid goat jumping out of the screen every time I turn on my PC.

A true, original masterpiece. The combination of both scans fits in so perfectly that it made me think that you just used one scan originally. Everything about this wall...is just flawless! This is by far one of the BEST walls I have seen in a long time and by far the BEST Princess Mononoke I have ever had the privilege to lay eyes upon!

well, i think you suceeded in breaking away from the one-character thing you mentioned (true, that is). It's really nice to see them in action together for a change, even though it deviates from the plot.

i don't think it's really that busy. i have had desks were really distracting, but i would use this.

I completely agree - Miyazaki is epic; this wallpaper is epic; you've done Miyazaki justice. : ) I adore the clever combination of the two scans and the motion effects you have added, Princess Mononoke is also one of my favourite films. Talk about a win-win! <3

"WOW" is the only adjective I could think of. I am so amazed by the wallpaper! First, I really like the contrast between the characters and the background. The contrast makes Princess Mononoke stands out of the dark background, like she IS the heroine. Second is the blurry motion effect, which make the mood of the scene very serious, and it looks as if you are right there in the scenes. This is definitely suitable for the movie cover!

Wow that's a great image you've put together there, although I don't think it really works as a wallpaper per se. It looks AWESOME as a still-image of a frame of a scene (that of course, like the label said, didn't happen =) ), but as a wallpaper, I think it's just too "distracting," especially with the accompanying text. With all the energy and fervor in the visual form, it doesn't take the written word to convey that there is a battle going on. Mmm would make an excellent postcard too!

When looking at this Wall, the first thing that comes to mind is the song 'journey to the west' from the movie, and with it comes a surreal image of the event (although it never happened) coming straight from the wall as a source of inspiration. It captures the mind... inspiring. Fav

Nice combination! Really brilliant cause you made such two irrelative scans so smoothly together. Though as to the story itself, Ashitaka and Princess Mononoke may never fight together XD. And as what you said,you put a lot of work into it and get it right, no one believes that you even did anything. and I'm almost that kind of one to regard this wall really did nothing on technics~ XD Anyway, this is a brillant, nice, and high quality wallpaper!
