note about the actual title written in the wall sig: [readmore]fafner came from fafnir, a character of legend who transformed into a dragon in order to protect his treasure. so in essence "soukyuu no fafner" made me think of "dragon(s) of the azure".[/readmore]

this wall is based on this image:

day 1 the thoughtless part: foreground characters were vectored, taking nearly 8 hours.

day 2 the challenging part: the sky and mountains were painted with my old mouse, made to look as like the original as possible, taking nearly 7 hours to do and redo. i've edited out the fafner in favor of more clouds from my imagination.

day 3 the painful part: the buildings were painted by mouse, made to resemble the original (minus the fafner's legs and those traditional houses), taking nearly 8 hours. i wanted to vector the buildings & add gradients but ended up liking how i could sort of imitate metallic surfaces. and so i painted. the going wasn't smooth.

day 4 the last day: tweaks counteracted by undos, more fine adjustments, futile efforts at fixing and blending things together etc. stared at it and decided time to face judgment. thank you to justin, dee, et al for support and for convincing me that this wall isn't bad. =]

oh my, asa, this is great! The bold colors are outstanding. You nailed the perspective, especially with the sky. I'll be sure to save this one to my widescreen walls folder. x)

I am really impressed with this wallpaper. You did a fantastic job vectoring the sky. You also did a good job vectoring the characters, mountain, and buildings but I really like the sky and the clouds. You did a great job on this wallpaper. Keep up the good work.

It's great to see some Fafner love, and this wall is definitely a great addition to the Fafner section! The background is beautifully well done, and I love the extra shading you added to the characters. Excellent work!

Wow. Only 4 days total? Man. You have my fastest walling time beat by like a month xD

Awww. You took out the mech ;_; I'm still a mech-lover, but I guess without it as it does look a lot more scenic. Like i said earlier, the painting work that you've done is perfect :) I'm amazed that you did the painting on a mouse, which is something I've given up on trying to learn. The mountains and the clouds are really, really lovely.

You stayed true to the original scan, but I think you went above and beyond the original thanks to your painted style, which gives this wall a lot more substance than the original. Your vectoring is great as usual, and the buildings are really nicely made :) I seriously can't wait to see another scenic wall from you. Every new wall that you do is a treat ^^ +fav

You're sure fast at vectoring. It'd take me a few months to do something half as good as yours. *__* The good use of colors and smooth vectoring is really what makes this wall beautiful. I really like the sky, and the landscape there. Great work!

day 2 the challenging part: the sky and mountains were painted with my old mouse day 3 the painful part: the buildings were painted by mouse, made to resemble the original

>:D seems that somebody didnt read the Author's brainspill >:D

anyway, great mouse painting, and im still wondering how you do make the eyes like that, but thats another business (don't worry, i'll figure out for myself)

looks liek you darkened the sky a bit. oh whatever... i still like how the folds in their clothes are more prominent....hehe especially on the sleeve with the badge... oh they look great. hmm.. ... and the worn out walls look nice too. and finally i like how you faded the mountains into the horizon and clouds.... eeeeeekkk.. beautiful!!!

Very nice wallpaper indeed ^^ Too bad i din't see it earlier, sometimes my internet connection just doesn't upload all the elements within a page. What i really like about this piece, is the vectoring part and especially the lively colour combination, it seems like the character are captured within a moment of movement.

+fav and it is a very nice piece

I dunno the anime but this wall captured my eye! Well, You did a very good job with the clouds and the whole bg, it's great how you cut out this mech and repainted the background with mountains etc. (especially the buildings look great, well done). Also the characters are vectored in a very good way, I like the shadows and everything. Really an amazing wallpaper and I appreciate it that you made it in widescreen! Keep it up, added to my favourites.

My, you have put so much efford in this wall! The way you repainted the vector is amazing! Speacially the shadows and the light. The sky is so much like Fafner, aoku to hiroi sora. Nice one.

Wow, the clouds are really beautifully painted! The buildings are nicely done, of course. The vector is nice too, although I think they are supposed to have those lines on their cheeks? Anyway, I would complain about just one thing. The colours in some areas just seem too dark, if you know what i mean...kinda like the contrast is over-enhanced. But on the whole, it's quite well made. Adding to favs.

The formation of three is good. It's a tense one because everybody seems to be a little anxious...knowing that something bad may occur...

The sky is made very well, but I think it'll be better if the colour is lighter.

Anyway, it's a nice one!

This paper is really well done! The character are sewn in perfectly, and the expressions are great. My favorite part however, would have to be the background. I love the clouds in the sky, they're beautiful. The portray the mood perfectly. Love it! |(n_n)|
