Been away from AP for about 2 months. o_o Thanks to those who still posted on my page while i was away. I'll try and reply to them as soon as i can.I just have so many things to do. @__@ Lol i even have a new nickname thanks to Saku. (It's miso soup btw) xD It feels good to be back and even with a new wall. ;D Im actually a big fan of Final Fantasy, but it seems that i have'nt even made a single wall out of it. So here it is, a wall from the FF13 game. < 3 Featuring this awesomely drool-worthy bishie. xDD And homigosh! It's also partially painted too! <--still learning how to paint properly. =/ I think its quite obvious which part i painted. (hint..hint...the background) ^_^; Oh and another thing, i usually do 1680x1050 resolutions for my walls, but this one ended up being only 1440x900 because i accidently saved my psd file in this rez. T_T

Also a happy Very belated birthday to my friend Vonne. This wall's for you! ;D I finished it earlier but could'nt post it till now. Sorry for the delay. ^^; Well enjoy the eye-candy. Psst... we should hang out sometime later maybe with some of our other classmates for a little reunion or something. ;D

Walling Process:

I took the basic idea from this screenshot which i took myself from the game trailer, and mixed it in together with this scan. As you can see, the screenshot is super blurry. @__@ So i painted most of it. The scene is'nt exactly the same as the one in the screenshot. Well i don't think there's a need for it to be the same, so i tried something simpler with only a part of the background shown. The scan on the other hand, had only a small part of the chair/throne shown, so i decided to extend it a little (you'll know what i mean if you compare the original scan with the wall i made). Besides that, i also used the smudge tool on a low opacity and smudged all over the scan to give it a smoother look. ;D Some lighting & shading was added on next, and some specs of dust/shiny dots falling down from above was added. Lastly i did the text. Although i would usually avoid text with outer glows, i think it kinda looked ok in this one. ^^ There's also other versions of the wall with different text and the textless version.
This wall can also be found at Minitokyo
