Hello all.
This wall certainly took a lot longer than I had thought it would. :)
If you are unfamiliar with her, the character is Nico Robin, quite possibly my favorite female character.

The wall is completely vector mask shape based (pen tool) in both outline and color, with no brush work or the use of any other tool.

The scan used for the wall is the One Piece Ch.310 color spread:


If you prefer a version that's easier on the eyes (and maybe a more proper setting for Robin) here's a blue fire version I like just as much:


Other info:
Scan: OP Ch310 spread (above)
Time duration: 5 months (taking many breaks in between.. :X )
Program: Photoshop CS4
Layers: 1573 (with layers having from 1 to a couple hundred shapes each)
