Not too much for me to say about this wallpaper that hasn't already been said: Dalarty has provided a descriptive walk through all the way from the concept idea, to its execution and ultimately its fruition. And you can really see how that careful planning paid off. But it just goes to show, good ideas take time---and a whole lot of patience!

I was randomly browsing the Bebop scans and this scan of Spike was just too funny to pass up. But then I noticed this scan of the whole Bebop crew was also much too silly to not do something with. So I decided to use both of them in the same wallpaper - the crew smashed up against a window trying to get a glimpse of Spike dancing in the streets. Spike's actually dancing in Minneapolis, which was the best stock of a skyscraper-filled street I could find at Stock Exchange that had a decent perspective. At first I was going to have the crew peering out of a window on the Bebop, but it makes more sense for them to be looking out from another building on the streets - a jazz cafe sounded like a good idea and allowed me to make a parody of Starbucks' logo, which I tried to design as a glass decal (hence the edges of the decal are larger than the sticker itself). The title "iBop" is another parody - of the iPod walling fad, since Spike is certainly bopping to the beat of his own drum - or personal music player (with giant stereo headphones) as the case may be.

anywho, as i think i said over at MT, i'm not so fond of the way the cross for the window was done (but that's a hard thing to do) but the vector was done well (as well as the window decal) and.. dancing spike XD *dies*
I found the concept and the scans really funny :)
However, it took me time skimming over the wallpaper trying to figure out where was Spike !!
Anyway, the work you did on the second scan is really awesome!The Starbuks parody is a nice thing too !
Keep up the good work !

Tama you rock! This wallpaper is absolutely amazing not only is the quality of everything outstanding but the wall is just perfect. The combination of the scans, the colors, the layout, and the mood is all there just like it should be. This is definitely going on my desktop. Lots of love for Starbucks! or in this case starbops ;)
Saw this one at DA! and thought it was very funny/cute. it's fantastic. clean, love the reflection in the window idea...ah starbops coffee. no complaints here.
Hahahaha, I really like your idea of this wallpaper. Really great work with combining two scans into one wallpaper. I really like the reflection work you've done on the window, it looks fantastic. The vectoring looks really good, really clean. An absolutely excellent wallpaper! Definitely a fav for me.
Haha, this scene really make me laugh, what a cool idea, I love it. OMG! Spike dancing hehehe, you did a great combination between both scans, just great ^^

the whole window thing is a hard thing to pull off, but you did it very nicely. The vector is great but when isn't it coming from you.
