A wallpaper remake that started back in March 2007 after my Iketeru Futari attempt which took a whole painful 7 months to complete due to various circumstances (eg. RL events, lack of ideas or ideas that did not turn out right, other simlutaneous wallpaper projects, etc). A nice finale before I go on a month-long absence.

Anyway, this wall is a re-attempt of an earlier wallpaper made in 2003.



The basic starscape theme and text layout is the same but overall, everything has been given a fresh new look. Even Ruri was vector traced (the original scan was rather crappy and only 1075 pixels high). As for the background, basically I just allocate an hour to try one or two ideas/effects each week (during dry times stretching several weeks, I just didn't bothered to work on it due to lack of motivation) and if it works, keep it. If it didn't, trash it (majority of my ideas fell under this category). I would have liked to re-use the Frax-Flame effects but alas, it does not accomodate 1600x1200 canvases and even if it did, the quality would have been sub-par.
