This wallpaper and I have a long love/hate relationship. I have given up on it at least twice by now and I still keep coming back to it.

What I wanted to capture was the moment in the beginning of a live concert when the lights first come up on stage to reveal the performers (there is usually fog involved for dramatic effect). So that's how it all started, hours upon hours of vectoring later, and after playing around with god knows (pun intended) how many variations of how to make everything come together I ended up with this. I am so sick of working on this wallpaper now that I think I will just submit it this way, and I might just make another version later.

The scan is here. And yeah, I kind of simplified some people's outfits, either out of laziness or from personal taste (I still don't like Mikuru's dress, but I like my version of it a bit better). Sorry, Asakura and Tsuruya's fans, but since this is SOS brigade in concert the two of them didn't get included. Instead I added more instruments so that Kyon and Itsuki haved something to play (>_-) Grrr ... drum sets are hard to make!
