4th in a series

For this wallpaper, I asked opinion of my Visual Design instructer at college, and I made this wallpaper.

My instructor, who has 25 years of experience in visual design in print and web, gave me these reasons over the other background image that I had:

"Humans, due to their nature, are more drawn to faces, its something that we look at every day, while the bright flames of the other image looked good and fit the color scheme of the whole image, the angery face in contrast with the main image of the character who has a "clueless" or "nutral" expression is well executed and the dark colors give a dark "mood" to the whole image."

Here is a thumb nail of the other version he talked about: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b218/aceman67/mikoto_02.jpg

The episode that the background image came from is my favorite in the whole series, it was intense and disturbing.

Background image was resized from 640x480, scan of Mikoto is from Minitokyo, Banner with the name on it was made in Illustrator, Wallpaper was put together in Photoshop, and optimized for web in ImageReady
