First off, this is a birthday present for metalmallow!
it's yet his b-day yet...thats on the 24th, but he told me to submit it early if i finished it, so here it is.
This is also going to be my first entry in the vectorness monthly challenges, and it's for the month of august with the idea "color outside the lines".
Okay, so he wanted a beck wall, and my original plan was to do this elaborate concert scene and make it kick complete ass. but, i'm really lazy, and i've been working a lot, so i had zero motivation to do it. So, after flipping through my sketchbook earlier today, and admiring my sketchiness (not something i do often) it hit me.
sketchy.
what a pose like that needed was lots and lots of movement, and nothing shows movement better than sketchy. mostly gestures, but i wanted you to be able to tell what it was, and when i do gestures, yeah, you get movement, but it's too simple. so, i used the scan that i had intended, and quickly traced over it, keeping my lines free and fun.
it all evolved from there.
Thanks to whiteblaze, highknees, and JTsang for their help
and to wacom for kicking so much ass and making me my pretty tablet :D
for some reason i have "Marching bands of Manhattan" by Death cab for Cutie on repeat. I'M NOT EVEN EMO!
again...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY METALMALLOW! (Hold till August 24th and release)
EDIT:
i didn't include koyuki's face for 2 reasons. i actually hate the way it's drawn in the manga half the time (especiall on this cover) and for design purposes. the face just didn't show the movement the way the rest of the body did. actually, the face was rather static.
Metal, i wish Kalico made walls for me B-day :) tis wall is simply amazingly... sketchy :) and i love it, you can feel all the power of movement in it, the colors are joyfull (if it means anything) and it's so sketchy XD me sketchy
I won't be there the 24 to wish you an happy B-day metal, so happy b-day now :)
congrats Kalico on this super kickass wall. Maybe one day you'll kick asses as much as i do.
W00t so few comments on this fine piece! When I first clicked this one up I thought; "Damn, kalico has allready submitted her wall for this months vectorness challenge (ouside the lines)" but then I read what it actually was and I went a bit dissapointed, after that I studied how you had pulled off the wall and amazed is an understatment in this case of trying to describe my reaction. (Yes I know I'm a mad idiot writing shitlong sentences) Anyways, this wall is pretty damn awesome, the way you made him moving fits like a glove, I can't imagine a better way you could've pulled it off, really good job on that, if you are a member of vectorness (Which I believe you are) I suggest that you submit this wall there since it has a heck of a good chance of winning. ^_^ Uhm yea, I can't think of much more to say, it's a sketchy wall and a lovely one on top of that, great job and I wish you a good day.
Hats off to you and another wall that has made it into my favorites, sincerely, moruku
LoL. this is exactly what I had in mind for the Vectorness Challenge. Aren't you a happy Boy metal!
dispite the sketchiness and lines, the colorings are done nicely. most of all. I love Koyuki's POSE x3
This wall is really cool! I love it. :D The way that the pic is done and the baackground fits it very much! I like the color on the wall. It feels like passion! XD Great job! Keep up your great job!
You can really feel the excitement of the wall, thanks to clever use of colouring and skethiness.
it gives it an impact of energy.
soon every1s gonna mass PM you to make them a bday wall hehe XD
i dont have anything to say, this picture does speak a thousand positive words.
just amazing +fav
this is the type of wallpaper I've always wanted do with my pictures. But yet, I'm not good enough. I liked how you colored it, you made the whole wall feel in motion. (+fave)
What a fun wallpaper :D (i'm assuming you're also enterign this in Vectorness's challenge this month? =o) mmm. i like the warm shades, and while the scribbling thing has been done before, it works well with beck. lots of energy in this wall :) good job!
