Tama-neko does it again. And again. And again! This time I could not resist, I really had to highlight this wallpaper due to its really cool concept and overall appeal.
Yes, it's Kino No Tabi, a serie that has been walled plenty and plenty of times by our mighty Tama, and sooner or later it was doomed to be highlighted. In this case, what I really love about it is the \"bird-eye\" perspective from above (which is absolutely not an easy thing to do) and the amazing re-drawing that Tama did in order to achieve a similar look to the original scan she started with. Add yellowish/greenish tones mixed together with texture, a very clean text and voilat there's an awesome wallpaper served on your desktop.
Oh and, it's her 200th wallpaper, so be sure to congratulate her!
So I'm taking a break from my Kino chapter illustration series to bring you this Kino wallpaper. When I got novel 9 I totally fell in love with this image. The overhead perspective, the newspaper clippings with glimpses of other characters (even Tea!), the pose... all were just wonderful.
I basically extracted Kino and her shadow and then proceded to redraw the background so that the vertical layout would fit a horizontal one. The blocks were redrawn in Photoshop. The newspaper clippings were cut out from the original and rearranged to fit the new arrangement. Add the ovular lighting, and some textures, and there you go.
After nearly 40 wallpapers using the same Kino logo, I decided to create a new one. It's about time, isn't it? The new logo is a little more compact and incorporates the Kino/Hermes picture in the official logo, and I like the font better as it's easier to read. The title was just the text that was originally on the image.

I like the grainy texture to this wall, love the brown tones and I like the characters peeking through the flooring. Doesn't even seem like it was extracted from anything (which is i guess what a clean extraction is...) Anyway It's beautiful! 200 walls only in my dreams >__<
I have been a fan of your Kino walls for a while now, and this wallpaper is as fantastic as your usual ones are. You've done a wonderful job redrawing the tiles and placing the newspapers underneath. I also like your new logo!
Wow!! Congrats on making 200 wally's...I can't even reach 200...
I love the texture on the wallpaper! It makes the whole wally calming.
I think I also fell in love with the image you used, it looks really good. And it's perfect for the wallpaper!
Another great job on redrawing and replacing the tiles and newspapers!
I just love this wall! I'm adding this to my favs!

this is really nice. love the perspective and the textures.
great job!
Fonts seems too clean for the gritty/dirty character and background.
Overall, seemless cohesive work of art.
