I know this scan has been walled before, but I've always liked Nimya's character, and the other walls with this scan are generally scenic pictures with clouds or grass or other such things. However, I had an entirely different purpose in mind. Nimya's story always reminds me of Leonardo Da Vinci - the sketches in the encyclopedia are very much in Da Vinci's styles, as are the different drawings of the wings for her flyer. However, it wasn't until I saw "Making Da Vinci's Dream Machines" that I finally understood the pose she was drawn in for the JP rerelease of DVD 4. The show discusses efforts to create two machines from Da Vinci's drawings, but also discussed Da Vinci's other scientific treatsies, including the famous sketch of the Vitruvian Man (also know as the Proportions of Man.) The spread-eagled man looked just like Nimya's pose, and I don't think it's coincedence. So I decided to redraw the scan in the same style. This involved redrawing the entire right side of the image as well as her feet, which were directly modeled off the original Vitruvian Man sketch. Add some textures and make it sketchy. Something different, hm?
