Well, since my topic kept falling down to the bottom of Session Zero a few times, I decided to just cave and upload this thing. It has been many months since I have walled, and well over a year I believe since I uploaded anything here. I've fooled around with some mediocre, unfinished and failed walls over the course of the past year, and I just haven't found the time what with school and stuff.

This wall is part of my biggest obsession at the moment: the .hack franchise. Been a fan for a long time now, and I've seen/read/played nearly everything .hack available to me. This wall features three different images from .hack, and all four of the figures in this wall have significance to the situation going on on the right with Haseo holding Shino's character as she falls into a coma in real life. It began with just the Haseo and Shino image, but soon evolved into Ovan (glasses) being on the left, and then I just had to put my favorite character, Azure Kite, into the picture. That presented a big challenge, because the image that would work best was monochromatic. After a whole lot of coloring, lightening up his face, and overall tweaking, I was able to get it to work, finally. I really felt that the .hack//G.U. section needed a new wall, and I tried to do some of my best work here. Dunno if I succeeded, but I hope someone enjoys this, anyway. 8)


P.S.: No, I was not thinking of Moulin Rouge when I chose the "Come What May" title, but it's oddly ironic that Haseo and Shino were in very similar situations to the main characters of that movie, at least in this particular scene.

Well, my prediction was right, people didn't like the white space, so I uploaded a new version with some scenery at the bottom. I had this version saved for just this occasion, but it probably hasn't upped the quality of the wall at all. Oh well, I fail.
