This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.
While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.
I totally didn't think Romeo x Juliet looked like my type of anime at first, but then I watched the first couple episodes and got completely hooked. Now it's one of my favorite recent series after Nodame Cantabile :D So yar, had to stop work on a Nodame wall to make this I wanted to make the wall look like an old but well-loved illustration... not sure how well that came out, but that's my justification for some lazy elements in the wall haha xD;; Getting the colors right was tough, but making the thick outlines was a lot of fun. Usually I'm obsessed with tiny outlines so this was definitely a nice change.
Romeo and Juliet outlines vectored from this scan, then painted in PS with hard round brush + mouse. Acorn leaves stolen from this scan that I grabbed off of saikusa's photobucket account in the pre-monochrome scans days on MT. Textures from stock.XCHNG.
87. Classical, For the 100 Themes Project @ Instant Noodles. Also there WILL be fun new projects/events coming to Invalid Litter Department despite my utter laziness/failure at producing promo walls lol, so definitely keep an eye out for that ;D
And as always additional res can be found @ pixel ellipsis x]
P.S. Wow er... I think I just broke AP with a bad space in the code xD;;
Edit: Seems like people either really like the fade-out or really dislike it. Since it looks like the latter outnumbers the former I've extended Juliet's skirt out a bit more to improve the flow, but made Romeo's coat only a leetle longer as compromise. It'd be way too long if I extended it out all the way xD;; Much thanks to everyone who commented and critiqued :]
Very nice! I like the sort of antique, artistic look of this wallpaper. The pastel colors are gentle on the eyes, and the acorn leaves are a nice touch. The wall goes very well with the series. Good work!
It looks so beautiful, everything fits together so perfectly like an illustration. The vector's well done and their even room for icons on the left, even though I don't have a wide screen. Here comes another high quality wall for the Romeo x Juliet wallpaper category. Looking forward to your future walls. ^_^
This looks like an old painting!
The combination of the bold outlines and the rough colouring gives the wall a "character"!
What else to say? This is realy nice and beautiful! Great job indeed!
Thanks for sharing!
naisu touch
normally vector lines don't fit with painted style
(-_-" thats why im in the verge of the insanity because im doing outlines with tablet)
anyway, that don't matter
really good, fa... wait a min
Awesomely awesome! I love Romeo x Juliet and this wallpaper really grabbed my attention. I love the colours and the vector looks great with those really thick stylized lines.
You've done a fantastic job, and there's finally a Romeo and Juliet wall that I love (and is widescreen). Thank you!
Hmmm I like what you've done with it, and it's quite a change from the original scan, but I really can't stand how cut off it looks with the widescreen. I mean, if it was a 4:3 aspect, I'd understand, but it would look so much but with either their clothes or even the acorn design continuing to give it some flow.
Beautiful!The wall it's so romantic and it really gives the feeling of something classical or like an old illustration like you said.I love the colours and the tenderness that I get when I look at this wall!Really lovely wall!
Looks nice. love the old ish feel and the colors are awesome xD
and yes, i got hooked onto the series too :3
great use of vector lines too. pretty pretty ^^
Ooo im a sucker for any romeo x juliet wall =____= really nice painty effects. ^^ the vector is really nice to.. and the colors are great! im just not too hot on the leaves in the bg.. they seem kinda awkward.. i feel like the should be sorta growing out from behind them ^^ but its such a minor thing, really great job. ^^ +fav.
Wow, I love this wallpaper. The way the ends of their clothes fade away as though they were painted by a brush adds a really nice effect. The leaves are also a nice touch. The subdued colors on the parchment-like background also lends to a nice Shakespearean feel. The only thing I find odd is that the left side of the image is relatively empty. It seems... kind of strange to me.
Other than that, though, this wallpaper is very nice.
This is beautiful. I had the same thought when I saw Romeo x Juliet. Until I watched it and fell in love with it. This is a really nice wallpapers. I really like the thick outlining. (:
