It all started with a scan by AP's own vdFritz (check it out here). Then I vectored the image of Roy and added my own little touches to him. Then I had *far* too much fun making the parody magazine cover. And then, to top it all off, I held my own little photoshoot with a stunt-double magazine to get the edges and highlights/shadows right.
I am planning on doing more with the vector of Roy in the future (and maybe put it up in the Scans section if anyone is interested) since I really like it a lot - hopefully a more serious piece. ;P
I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I did making it!
LOL! Ok, since the first time I saw this, I cannot stop laughing. The Popular Science cover parody looks real with a bit of gloss and lighting as a real magazine cover would. The Roy vector looks superb and the 'contents' really gets me laughing. What's a bit lack of this wallpaper is the table; adding some real-life objects will make the Popular Alchemist looks real.
Good job!

This is neat to say the least. not only a great idea, but fine execution. i'm a dtp whore myself so i really dig this kind of stuff. nice, really nice ;]
I love the humor you put into this - your efforts are well received!
And I think it's awesome that you went even further to actually take a picture yourself and scan it in. It really does look like a magazine issue! And a good read at that...

This wall is spectacular...the idea of the magazine is fantastic and very well-realized...i like it very much such as this wonderful anime and one of its coolest character, Roy Mustang...maybe i'd have changed something but the work is very good...great job^^
I say, capital idea that was. Your execution is exquisite, though I wish the table weren't so blasé. It makes the wall look empty, despite, exactly like a photo.
I love this wall! I subscribe to Pop. Sci. and this was the eye-catcher of the day. Roy Mustang is the perfect guy for the cover of any alchemist mag. I would so like to pick up a copy!
Oh my this is very interesting indeed ^^ I can see the hard work that's been put into this and i gotta say your end result is nothing short of spectacular!
I really do envy the people who can vector haha ^^; Maybe one day i should give it a go but all the same keep it up =3 Hope to see some more stuff from you in the future ^^
