So this project all started with my assignment for school. The assignment required me to do some animation and what not and my idea I came up with was to animate this piece on my wall (my actual wall in my room) The design went through LOTS of transformations and planning. Initially instead of Ichigo it would've been a silhouette version of Hidan (from naruto) but didn't fit too well with the style and theme of this wall.

I first began to vectorize Ichigo and Totoro (haha needed something there but owl wouldn't look good :P) ichigo himself went through various stages from pure black to a different hue/tonal value off the original scan, to partly silhouette, to mysterious, to his stage now.

The tree and grass and a few of the other elements were made with Photoshop custom shapes and brushes.

All in all this wall took me a lot longer than I thought it would. Especially with Ichigo...man he was a hassle. Must've taken me at least 7hrs to get him right. And that doesn't include the time it took to realize Hidan wasn't fit for this wall. lol.

So yup...I think that about wraps it up hehe. Hope ya'll like it. I know i do! haha and enjoyed making it as well.

Oh and if and e one wants a text version or has and e requests or suggestions to some text, my ears are open. I just left it like this cause after some previous submissions I realized alot of the people here prefer the pure look. :)


PS: If ne one wants to see the progress I would'nt mind setting it up once I finish with my animation part :P

PPS: This wall was inspired by my good friend, Jackie Chow. :)

PPPS: Since I got so many complaints about the resolutions, I included the 1600x1200 size :) it's cause I love you all!

++fav please :)
