Scan - Thanks to Keithfiann @ AP here

And...now to my ramblings. It all started when I spent a good couple of hours playing Odin Sphere for the PS2 again...and oh how I fell in love. Despite the difficulty of the game, I found the story entirely engrossing. Gwendolyn is such a great character, and I can't wait to play the others. It seems like a lot of people like Velvet, especially considering that's the only wall I saw of the game here @ AP. t___t I may be biased...but Gwendolyn can't be beat. That's why when I saw this scan...I just went crazy. I had to make a wall for her.
Lets see...the scan was pixelated, at first, I believed it was merely 'textured' but I knew I was only kidding myself. So after going crazy with the stamp tool to extend the clouds and sky, I took out the handy smudge tool and smudged the whole image one tiny area at a time. Luckily for me Odin Sphere art tends to be a lil blurry and washed out is (which looks good!) so it ended up looking nice.
Then it was just a matter of adding textures here and there, colour changes (contrast/brightness). I made the logo/moon using brushes and text. The stars in the dark sky can also be found in her eyes! (Which I thought was an interesting touch...)

All in all...it took me about I guess six hours to finish (I think?). I hope this inspires people to try and play Odin Sphere - it really is a great game!

Thanks for reading my ramblings ^^ Hope you all enjoy.
