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.
This is my half of the collab between me and redxxii of md.net
i say my half, because we both started a wall featuring one of the lovely ladies of eureka seven at the exact same time. we had no direction, and both just did whatever. after a couple of days, we were ready to trade off, and some adjustments were made and ideas brought to life.
they were switched back and forthe a few times.
to start, i reCGed the scan, and extracted it, and compiled a bunch of stock photos into what the background originally looked like (a bunch of stocks)
red then went and worked with them to smoothen it out and make it all flow together, and came up with the idea of outlining the stocks to give a handrawn look. a freakin AWESOME idea.
so, the wall came back to me, and me and my trusty tablet went to work, outlining like crazy. then, i did some more stock manipulation to add that "exploding" feel in the background. i added a cloudy, dusty have over a lof of the wall, and sent it back to red.
he made some adjustments and enhanced the effects, then added some text.
sent it back to me to adjust the text, and add some texture and a signature (mine is bette rthan his by the way)
then, we were ready to call it done.
this is my fav of the collabs i've done so far, because it was funny how the two walls are EAXCT opposites.
mine is very structered, and has a lot of architecture, blues, and even though it's destruction, is very serene with underlying grunge.
red's, is red, chatoc, grungy with architecture and structure as an underlying theme, and portrays the destructive nature as it occurs from the point it begins
well, we hope you enjoy the walls, because we love them and worked really hard on them :D
Yay! An Eureka SeveN wallpaper!
I'm really impressed by your wallpaper.
You must have taken alot of time on this and I bet it was really hard too!
Your idea really is an awsome one. Absolutely splendid.
It looks as if Eureka is in some sort of ruins where water flows even through air.
Also, your skills are very impressing. Amazing work!
Keep it up.
I'd love to see more of your work in the future!
OMG! I wuv it!!The vector is awesome and the stock photo's you used looks really good!I'm going to basicly leave it at that because I'm sure I can't say anymore than what has already been said. Wonderful job though, loving the colors and the musky fog look.
I really just love this wall, its beautiful. However, the words "Vaccus Quietis" bother me a little because if it's Latin vaccus is singular,m, nomnitive and quietis is second person, singular, perfect present tense, which dosen't really work. If its something from the anime I'm sorry for spending lots of time obbsesing over nothing. ^_^; Good work on this wallpaper.
It's a well done wallpaper, I like the background, I like Eureka ;3 but I don't like the black line on those rock to the left. It makes it look like their were copied and pasted.
This wallpaper is nice. The background is well done. ( I like the background) . The color is nicely done too. Overall i think it can be considered a high quality wallpaper. I rated it at least 8.5/10.

Good work and Thanks!!
THe background is very nice, the colors are really good, and the environment is very nice, too. The character is good, too, she fits to the background, though, her clothes' colors seems a bit strange, compared to the encironment's colors. Anyway, nice wallpaper.
A wonderful method of mysticism you've used here, It's kind of like mysterious, and faded type of color/texture that you've used. It looks mystifying, and undoubtedly going to inspire my later works. This one is going on my wall collection!
