Been a while since i've submitted anything here. Well lets just say lots of things happened. >_> Anyway here i am with my latest wallpaper. Something different from what i usually do. It's my entry for EVI for the wall challenge over at PV, and we won! ^__^ The theme of the challenge was blood and weapons. So i decided to make a wallpaper for Le Chevalier D'Eon. Which imho was an interesting anime. Besides, this anime have'nt had any wallpapers on AP. So i decided to make one for this category.
PLEASE READ! (Or i'll bite you)
Read more... (click to view)First i took this scan and extracted the characters. Later i smoothened the picture bit by bit with the blur tool and the help of my tablet, and smoothened out those scan lines. After i was done with that (which took what seemed like forever), i moved onto the background. So i took this screenshot taken from the OP song of the anime and did the same smoothening method as i did with the characters, and also applied some filters. I then extracted the rocks from the original scan and enlarged it a bit, and once again the smoothening was done. After that i painted the ground, and added shadows for the rocks/rubble and the characters. Then i moved onto the fire and made that with the help of this tutorial. The sword was extracted from this screenshot from the ED song of the anime. Added some filters, messed with lighting a bit, and made some dripping blood on the sword and the ground. Lastly i used some levels and curves to adjust the lighting, and im done! ^__^
It was a long and tiresome process, but im quite happy with the results. ^__^
