This is an entry for Minitokyo's W.A.R. - Wallpaper and Art Revolution - Apiring Mafia
Entry for Individual Round 1 - "Infatuation"
The worst problem for me was the translation of the theme. Though the rules say something about extravagant love, I was pretty confused, so I looked it up in an English <-> English dictionary. It says:
"infatuation / a strong feeling of love for someone or interest in something, especially a feeling that is unreasonable and does not continue for a long time."
Since most of the entries for WAR were about love between women and men (or their shadows haha), I chose the second option.
This girl stole the old Scooty Puff Senior from her elder brother. But since she's underage (unreasonable), she didn't have a drivers licence. Still she drove around a lot. Some day she had the foolish idea of driving down the subway. However, she didn't think of any Mr Bananas lying on the floor. So having seen a dove, she wanted to chase it around. She didn't pay attention because she had a 'strong interest' in the stolen scooter (interest in something); it was comfortable and colored in baby-blue. The end of the story may be a little bit too bloody to wall it. So wasn't able to ride the scooter anymore. That's why I call it a 'short lived passion' (does not continue for a long time) - an infatuation.
If you want me to jump out of one of my three windows, tell me the stairs look weird. I'm just being on the second floor, but it may hurt a bit when I reach the floor, you know. The perspective was a pain in the butt and I'm still not happy about it. What I loved most were the details, like the cigarette stubs and dirty posters of a Blackstones-concert (Nana x Murata haha) and the new Animation 'Catch Range' (did anyone get the pun?). I noticed that there are many doves - flying rats, as my brother uses to say - in such subway stations, so that's why I added it. The most fun were the graffiti. Neat, aren't they?
I started with the vector of the scan on the second or third day of the contest. I hate the vector, it's ugly and it took forever. But I can't help it, the original scan was a little grungy.
Credits:
Brushes: dirt (between the tiles and the floor) from 8nero (I think...)
Scans: Girl on scooter, Blackstones-poster, Movie-poster
Inspired by: German subways, Futurama and my Winamp
More resolutions at www.uchiki.de to come. Don't forget the Bleach Contest! You have 19 more days to submit your work!
EDIT: Changed the graffiti-color, the stubs don't look too weird anymore (I hope), repaired some part on the stairs, the dove has more shading and so on.
