So, about a month ago, ed (the11342) was asking me if he could upload a wall with a nude character to the gallery, and i explained that he should run it by me first. so he showed me the scans, and said he didn't know which one he wanted. and when i saw the one of the nude girl on the couch, i was struck with an idea. and being the nice guy he is, ed told me to make the wall (i hope he's not dissapointed)
i decided to do an open modeling session. if you go to art school, you're probably familiar with the concept, but if not, i'll explain. Every friday at my college, we don't have class. Instead, we have studio time, with optional open modeling sessions. basically open modeling sessions is the school hires a model to pose, and you can go in and draw them as you please. it's free, and poses range from 5 seconds to 2 and a half hours. it's required by some professors, but i just like to go because i find it really relaxing. if i could make a living off of figure drawing, i would. but i can't, so animation is my second love
the wall is made completely from scratch outside of the murata scans. the walls, floor, easel, window, and paintings are all made by me. the paintings were done in painter, and the rest of the wall in photoshop. the hand drawing, was drawn by me, and the blue outlines are artist tape holding the paped onto a drawing board.
Thanks a bunch to the people that gave me advice and loves.
that would be the11342, evol, mety, baka, ish, blu3, gid, HK, meth, annex and blaze for the 5 minutes he came back from the dead.
and because blaze said he liked the color version, and metal said he liked the desaturated version, i also bring to you...the desaturated version:

i'm really busy, so this'll probably be my last wall for a while. maybe the collab i have with metal and the one with semuta...but also maybe not.
if anyone ever says..."yeah, take 3 studio classes for animation! thats a GREAT idea!" shoot them.
just shoot them.
in the face.
