This is an entry for the ANIWOOD contest over on Minitokyo.
Time: 3 days
Layers: 50 (after the mass merging of the individual vector layers, 120 before that...).
Hardest Part: Mentally planning out the outfits for the girls.
Movie of Inspiration: A Tale of Two Sisters.
I chose the movie A Tale of Two Sisters for the contest when I found this scan. Since there wasn't any particular scene that I thought I could wall, I went instead with mimicking the official movie poster.
I wanted to capture the old vintage feel that the poster and entire movie has, so when I vectored the girls I changed their outfits to match the style of the movie. I vectored them right down to the shading on their dresses and added a vintage dress texture over each of their outfits to deepen the effect. The background wallpaper was a combination of two textures that came from deviantart, which I over-layed to get get one more similar to that in the movie. The sofa is actually a stock photo that I filtered and touched up with paint in photoshop to help it match the setting. While it would have been more accurate to center the girls & sofa in the wallpaper, I wanted to keep it aesthetically pleasing as a wallpaper, and it looked kind of off in the center.
About the Movie & Game that I chose:
The movie A Tale of Two Sisters is a Korean film that is a combination ghost story/psychological thriller about two sisters that return home to their father and stepmother after a stay in a mental facility. Upon returning their stepmother is cruel and ghostly happenings take place after dark.
The game I used to represent the movie is Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly. This game focuses on twin sisters who are lost in a haunted village, and they seemed to fit the best for the Korean Film that I chose(let's face it, they're pretty but kinda creepy at the same time <_<).
A bloodless version of the wallpaper can be found HERE.
