I always come back to walling Kino. I AM a Kino fanatic, after all. Pictures of young Kino are quite rare -- in fact, the only two I really know of are the two DVD covers for the Japanese release of disc 2, which contains the episode relating to that story. I'm rather fond of young Kino, as she shows a youthful exuberance that her mature, older self seems to have lost. Since I already walled the original DVD 2 cover, it was only natural that I would eventually wall the rerelease DVD 2 cover, which I scanned from the second visual novel. The premise was simple -- young Kino leaning out of her window in her family's inn. I basically extended the building by adding a third window (the original image had 2) and redid the wall and then used some recycled stock sky for, well, the sky. At first I had extended the building across the entire image, but the repetitive windows were quite boring. Besides, the blue is a nice contrast to the stucco wall's yellows, and it also allows for icon space on both the left and right. I added some extra brightness to the coloring on Kino to bring her out of the rest of the image. Add in my stock Kino logo, and my stock Kino canvas texture, and there you go.

As always with your wall, I really like it. I'm gonna agree with the decision you made about not extending the building the entire way. The sky just adds an entirely new element. I also really like the texture you used, it just fits in so well. Anyways, keep up the good work.
Very nice Wallpaper Tama-chan. I really like how you added teh third window, without reading the description you gave i almost thought you just slapped the scan on it :3 nicely redone i must say. the Typography is very nice and subtle. and the background well...is good too ^^ thought i think kino could stand out a tiny bit more.
all in all a good tama wall ^^ i like how you stick to yer style ;D
Tasty tasty. I love the textures you put on your Kino walls. Makes it, I dunno, calmer, I think. Which makes me think of the anime, although I never was really able to make it past the first episode.
OH MY GOD!! IS THAT KINO!?!?? THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST KINO WALLPAPERS I HAVE SEEN!! Oh god!! *faints* I love the not so over saturated colours! it really fits the feel (which i think is calm). Definetely one of my faves! But...oh no! where is hermes?!?! T____T

=O Beautiful wall! I love the scenery... The texture works for the bg and everything, but on the char and the near foreground it looks like it's screened...bleh, maybe that was the effect you were going for XD Excellent wall!

Great wallpaper! The brightness and yellowish tint makes for a "memory/reminescent" scene it seems. I don't know if that's the intention but that's what I get from it. The sky does add a lot to the wall, brings some contrast and seems to give more balance to the scene. Now I've got to check out your other walls =P
That's an awesome wall! I love the pastel colors, the textures, and the character design, for that matter. I did a great job with the third window, too. A favorite, for sure!
This sucks, Well the wallpaper is fantastic !! <grin> but I don't want to clutter it with icons nor hide it behind a window.
I really need a second monitor sigh..

Wow. It really looks like one big scan! You did an amazing job matching the background with the Kino image. Your walls always seem flawless, and this one is too. great job once again!
This is wonderful, Tama. I'm glad you decided to use the sky, instead of stretching out the building. Otherwise, like you said, it would of looked very repetitive and dull. As always, great job and keep those incredible wallpapers coming ^.^
Hey, another Kino no Tabi wall... it's very nice! i love the scan of the character, it is just so cute! and i like the background... the texture for the background you adding is just great... and nice colour for the background... anyway, nice works! :) think i'll add it to my favourite!
