The Colors

(In case no one knows what this strange series of letters and numbers are, it's the color "number" of the main colors I used in the wallpaper) I like linear wallpapers. >.<
Wallpaper No. at AP: The very second One at AP.
Total Time Taken: Four days
Layers: In Photoshop, not much. Maybe about 25.
About 95% of it was done in Illustrator, including the background. Only thing that wasn't was "fitting" the vector pieces together and the words. Oh and the signature at the very bottom. ^_^
The Idea
Not sure why I named it Sentimental Ruby. Meh, I guess I just thought it fits Dita's personality. Well, I was cleaning through my computer and random unlabelled anime discs one very very hot and unbearable day. Popped one in, which happened to be the first season of Vandread. Then I checked whether or not my computer could still read through the files (The disc was fairly scratched up). And what do you know, I happened to pause the disc right at the awesome screenshot of Dita. Since it was a screenshot, I had to turn to vectoring to get a usable image for a wallpaper. Which I did. I messed around with a vector background, not really knowing what I was doing. Hell, I didn't know how to vector. Sadly I still didn't find a usable Tutorial for it (Sorry Blu3 >.< ), and having no internet didn't help . . . Which was why there is no Session Zero thread as well. So in conclusion, this entire wall is the product of me messing around with Illustrator not truly knowing the right way to do things. =] By the way, I was trying for an abstract look with the background. There is no "real" thing that it represents. However, I first attempted to make it as if a ruby is glittering in the light. Then I got carried away, and arrived at what you see before you. =P One more thing - the words in the background are partially modified lyrics to Himegoto, translated of course. That song stuck to me. *Shrug
The Versions
Just one. For the reason that my internet is dead and I couldn't visit Session Zero (Spelled it right for once, hamstersanonymous ^_^) for advice. =[
Acknowledgements
The hot weather. Why? Because it forces me to stay indoors five feet away from the air conditioner, in front of my computer. =D
Final Words
Maybe I should go do a Meia one after this . . . But the only problem is, the screenshot that is from around the same segment as where I found the Dita screenshot (During the ED, Himegoto by SiLc) doesn't really look so great . . . Meh, I'll see (and once I finish making a scenery vector wallpaper with Ren from Erementar Gerad =] ) And as always, I suck, BADLY.
