I always come back to walling Kino. I AM a Kino fanatic, after all. Pictures of young Kino are quite rare -- in fact, the only two I really know of are the two DVD covers for the Japanese release of disc 2, which contains the episode relating to that story. I'm rather fond of young Kino, as she shows a youthful exuberance that her mature, older self seems to have lost. Since I already walled the original DVD 2 cover, it was only natural that I would eventually wall the rerelease DVD 2 cover, which I scanned from the second visual novel. The premise was simple -- young Kino leaning out of her window in her family's inn. I basically extended the building by adding a third window (the original image had 2) and redid the wall and then used some recycled stock sky for, well, the sky. At first I had extended the building across the entire image, but the repetitive windows were quite boring. Besides, the blue is a nice contrast to the stucco wall's yellows, and it also allows for icon space on both the left and right. I added some extra brightness to the coloring on Kino to bring her out of the rest of the image. Add in my stock Kino logo, and my stock Kino canvas texture, and there you go. Additional resolutions are available at DA! Desktop Anime.

As always with your wall, I really like it. I'm gonna agree with the decision you made about not extending the building the entire way. The sky just adds an entirely new element. I also really like the texture you used, it just fits in so well. Anyways, keep up the good work.

Very nice Wallpaper Tama-chan. I really like how you added teh third window, without reading the description you gave i almost thought you just slapped the scan on it :3 nicely redone i must say. the Typography is very nice and subtle. and the background well...is good too ^^ thought i think kino could stand out a tiny bit more.
all in all a good tama wall ^^ i like how you stick to yer style ;D
keep em up

Tasty tasty. I love the textures you put on your Kino walls. Makes it, I dunno, calmer, I think. Which makes me think of the anime, although I never was really able to make it past the first episode.

OH MY GOD!! IS THAT KINO!?!?? THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST KINO WALLPAPERS I HAVE SEEN!! Oh god!! *faints* I love the not so over saturated colours! it really fits the feel (which i think is calm). Definetely one of my faves!!! But...oh no!!! where is hermes?!?! T____T

=O Beautiful wall! I love the scenery.... The texture works for the bg and everything, but on the char and the near foreground it looks like it's screened...bleh, maybe that was the effect you were going for XD Excellent wall!

another awesome kino wall tama =o i love ur kino scans they are pretty very nicely done the extension is seamless :D
7 years, 9 months ago
Great wallpaper! The brightness and yellowish tint makes for a "memory/reminescent" scene it seems. I don't know if that's the intention but that's what I get from it. The sky does add a lot to the wall, brings some contrast and seems to give more balance to the scene. Now I've got to check out your other walls =P

Wow, this wallpaper is really good. It has like an old feeling to it. And the sky is really neat too. Good jobe!

That's an awesome wall! I love the pastel colors, the textures, and the character design, for that matter. I did a great job with the third window, too. A favorite, for sure!

Very beautiful and just a warm and enticing photo... besides who hasn't had that feeling!

This sucks, Well the wallpaper is fantastic !! <grin> but I don't want to clutter it with icons nor hide it behind a window. I really need a second monitor sigh..
Mmmmz vanishing point ???

Great. I really like this!
7 years, 9 months ago

kino?!!!can't believe it ,just like a kawaii girl great colors
7 years, 9 months ago
This is wonderful, Tama. I'm glad you decided to use the sky, instead of stretching out the building. Otherwise, like you said, it would of looked very repetitive and dull. As always, great job and keep those incredible wallpapers coming ^.^
+Favs!

7 years, 9 months ago
YAY! this has to be the best Kino no Tabi wallpaper yet! Great job with the texture, sky and the building. The scan is nice too, it is so hard to find a scan with the young Kino. Very well done! This is definitly one of my favourites! =D

Beautiful wall, as usual from you. Great job with the seamless extension, glad you didn't do it all the way though it would have looked less interesting. The kino texture is great and its a very clean image. Great Job :D
7 years, 9 months ago
Love the texture, the perspective is awesome too. Great job ^^
7 years, 9 months ago
Very good, like how its texture looks to be on canvas.
7 years, 9 months ago
I love the colors, it a faded feeling to it. I love this show too, I would know this was a Kino wallpaper just by the mood of it.
7 years, 9 months ago
I really like the colors, the mood is very relaxing. I love it!
7 years, 9 months ago
Pretty cute wallpaper there. The colors match up well together and the tone is perfect with the peaceful scene of the wallpaper. I kinda wish it could be cleaner though. It is literally a paper right now ^^;; Nice try.
7 years, 9 months ago
The picture is positioned enough so it's enticing to the eye while providing enough space on the left for the icons. As others said, it give you a warm feeling inside.
7 years, 9 months ago
Out of the ballpark again I see. I to am a Kino fan and your right you don't see many when she's young. I love the teddy bear and the shadowing is really well done. The sky is really beautiful and the wirteing on the side really fits the feel of the wall. A fav for sure as always an A+ please keep them comin.(*^_^*)
7 years, 9 months ago
beautiful! I love the color choices and soft tones. It makes for a nice, tranquil wall.
7 years, 9 months ago
Never heard of this anime title, but that doesn't really matter.
Anyway, I love the look of the clouds you used in the background. Really works good with the image itself. And the colors kind of makes it look like it's about to rain, which gives it a mood like that of the Silent Hill titles. Although I'm not sure if you were really going for that, but I love it for that though. Also, great job on the other window.
7 years, 9 months ago
Beautiful...it's so pretty...you're amazing at this.

Wooow, your walls are always top-notch. :love:

I do like you style of making this wallpaper,I'm sorry to say I haven't know Kino till now,so I don't know this:"I'm rather fond of young Kino, as she shows a youthful exuberance that her mature, older self seems to have lost." ^_^ I like you wallpaper,I consider about seeing it,Thank you for sharing!

The colors fit well together and the 3rd window and the sky is a great touch...Wow...I totally couldn't tell the third window was added on....
7 years, 9 months ago
i love the perspective..^^ as always the texture fits perfectly in the atmosphere...from ur walls it seems like Kino was made to be textuxed :P great job..^^
7 years, 9 months ago
Awww, that's cute. I would like this a lot better without the text, though...but that's just me. The extension of the building is pretty good. Nice and seamless. :)

I wanted to drop the same comment I made on MT, why? Not for the papers (I don't use em' anyways) but because this wall is so good and mainly because I first wanted to comment on it over here.
I first saw this wall over on AP and I immediately just fell head over heels for it. I have always loved your creativity and unique ideas for walls (well, I personally consider them to be rather uinque myself and quite creative) and when I saw this, especially the adorable Kino scan =x, I couldn't help but to want to comment on this immediately. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to, but now I do smiley.
First, the scan itself. Looking at this, I find it literally impossible to view this scan without saying "Aww...how cute". Just simply adorable, and with the teddy bear as well. I completely agree, as a child, Kino is just soo much more happier and looks so much more easy going~ Of course, not seeing the series myself nor knowing that much, I can't really state =x. Though I do have to say it is quite lovely and so very deserving to be walled as well =D.
The background, wow. Now your backgrounds always just seem to draw me in and this one was no acception either. Beautiful scenery and the building looks amazing. So very nicely done and the texture is gorgeous in my opinion. Such a light color for the building, it really works well with Kino and I love how the scenery behind the building is blurred (or it appears to be blurred nonetheless). The background just has a beautiful feel to it and personally I can't say I've seen very many buildings that look as well done as this does. It doesn't look out of place, it fits very nicely with the scenery and with the scan as well and great detail paid to it (even though the building itself doesn't have anything too complex, I think it looks great) and I especially love the wood trim, which actually looks like wood =o zomg! Of course I wouldn't expect anything less from you. Simply gorgeous detail paid to everything and though the text is rather..different, I have to say that overall with the whole background, it does work rather nicely. Especially how you fit the larger text in very nicely with the sky, yet it's still visable. The cursive was a nice touch and overall, this is just amazing. Heck, I can't say that I even find a single thing wrong with this scenery. I'm do have to say that I am glad that you did add in some atmosphere and didn't make it all building, it really adds for a very nice touch as well and gives the viewer a little taste of the scenery outside of Kino's window. Though, I have to say I wouldn't complain if it was all building, cause the building is so well done too~ =3 I have to say that with a pose like that, (Yesh, the parts I am talking about that you did is the part you added on with =x)
What can I say? I really like this wall. I have to say it is visually stunning and the texture of the background really captures the moment (to quote Markjo exactly, I couldn't agree more with that statement because it's true) and I personally have to say that I have yet to see a Kino wall from you that I don't like. (more of I need to comment on them too...) this wall is a favorite for me. Thank you so much for sharing this nice little number with us, Tama =D.

Out of all your Kino no Tabi walls, I like this one the best. Why? I have no idea but I just do. Maybe its the unique backdrop it has or the scans just fits.

A simply fabulous of Kino No Tabi wallpaper made by you again. It is heart warming, with soft colours background, which may sometimes makes you smile when you are looking at it for quite some time... (you may think I'm mad but that's what I feel) Anyhow, I must mention again, you bring out the atmoshpere in the anime has had... And for that I love it. Again, another very good wall of yours. Keep it up and I'm looking forward to it!

It captures all that is Kino and the show! -.- yes. If you have any more ideas for wallys, do so! ^o^

Cute. That's my first and last thought of this image. Now on to my second and third (and so on) thought!
On the rightside of the wallaper the inn seems to be a bit "dirty" giving it an old look, very nice, but to the left there is no "dirt" on the inn. That confused my at first, but you notice the rain clouds, and understand a bit more. The clouds are a big part in this image, huh? I didn't like the blury-ness at first, but once I thought of the rain clouds, I came to love the effect.
Keep it up! *faved.
7 years, 1 week ago
This looks really cute. I love the soft colors. I don't think the part of the wall from the right seems to match the other side, but oh well. I love the image of the girl holding a teddy bear like that, it adds a nice feel to it. This wallpaper looks awesome, keep up the great work.

wow that nice she fits in perfectly really cool
6 years, 11 months ago
Cute and refreshing. I like the toned down look you have generated here. Though the lighter colours are nice, it seems that the screen you've put over is really light, maybe some contarst would be a good idea or possibly, colour level tweak? But I really like the subtle text on the side, sweet. ^_~
