This wallpaper gives us a perfect example of how a simple manga scan can be turned into a beautiful vector. Not only did danalm trace the lineart, but he also added amazing details and a simple, yet wonderful background. Furthermore, the wallpaper shows us how the monochromatic style can make your work look really interesting.
Wtf...anyway, here's the comment:
Dayummm...this wall didn't really turn out that satisfying =(
Ah well, when compared to my original idea, this one is proabbly an improvement =/ Yes...texture had to be applied again XDD
The skys is just a manipulated stock photo, but I did add some depth and lighting to it (just as candy suggested ;D). The positioning of the EVA was a bit hard to find fitting, I still find it a bit awkward...I finally decided to leave it like this for icon space =P The pyramid thing in the bg is totally made from scratch with references from boing's walls. The pyramid isn't the only thing made from scratch, the vegetation is also made purely with PS brushing =x The flying debris is also made from scratch =/ I had in mind addition of text, but no matter where I placed it, the text was always distracting; in the end, I just dumped it XD The EVA itself was pretty poor quality, so I did what I could. I prefer having it clean rather than textured, but I felt that having texture gave this wall more 'power'? *lame* Well, I tried my best not to overly texture it =/ ahhh...since winter holidays are coming, looks like I'll be able to begin walling again =.= Personally, I feel this is one of my better EVA walls =.=a
Anyway...:

Very good job. I'm a fan of nge, and this scan definitely does the show justice. I love it! Very nice effects, and , well, it just looks really grungy, but in a good way! No, definitely one of the best wallies i've seen. Yeah, the scans cool, and, it just looks awesome!! really, great job

I love the textured feel. As mentioned before, the berserk feel.
Great
