Because there's probably no point in waiting for it's own category to be accepted; here's a wallpaper for the yet-to-be-released-in-English Ragnarok Online II: The Gate of the World. This wallpaper is essentially a widescreen adaptation of one of the official ROII wallpapers taken from the official site and spiced up to my aesthetic preferences.

I played around with certain Photoshop layer options in a successful attempt to intensify our character focus and simultaneously carry out part of my entire purpose in tackling this one. Some mild re-direction with lighting was involved and the extension of the original background to suit the intended widescreen purposes. After all this was said and done, I thought it to still be a little bland, and so began the search for some worthwhile textures. This search ended with a visit to Desktop Anime, where I found two handy little textures both present in our final piece.

Slap on some text and copyrights, and we're done.

Time: Two-three hours over the span of two days.
