Author's soapbox
I promised Cy a Read or Die wall like...2 years ago or something. So I've finally made good on my promise. I let him pick the scan, and then I did the rest.
Basic concept...Yumiko can control paper. I figured regular paper would be boring, so I wanted to personalize t a bit. Well, since I'm an animator, and Read or Die is an animation, I used Animation Bond! A side note is that usually Japanese cels/underdrawings have the hole sin the top because they use the paper upside down, but the American (and the original) way has the holes on the bottom for easy flipping, so that's the way I went. Also, I'm American, so bite me.
That was the basic driving force. I also put sketches of Yumiko on there so it looked like they had been used, and also related to the fact that it's animation paper, which many people would probably not have gotten.
So, that's pretty much all. Cy likes it (thank god. i was afraid he wouldn't).
I listened to TETRA-FANG and drooled over Koji Seto for the making of this wall. And also Pendulum.

Well, where the hell do I began? I've always loved what you do by re-cging the scan. It looks absolutely gorgeous as twice as good as it originally did. I've always been very partial to this image of Yomiko. Perhaps it's because it's the only one where she looks very serious and not like a goober.
The background, now this is where you can truly see how talented you are. Changing the paper in her hands as well as making a vortex of animation paper, each one being a different image of her, was a brilliant concept. Not to mention that I've noticed a few in there that are directly from the OVA itself. The shadowing is quiet well done too, on both the papers as well as her. You used the appropriate blurring as well for the closer objects to the viewer, which I felt was a very nice touch also. What really baffles me is that stone floor. That is simply stunning. To know that you created that solely from scratch shows that it must of been a painstaking work of labor, but it has most definitely paid off. I have to say that is by far some of the best stone I have ever had the pleasure of viewing and yes, that sounds as weird as I thought it would.
Simply put, I'm baffled. You have never ceased to amaze me with your talent as not only a waller, but as an artist. Each wallpaper you put out surpasses your previous and you continue to push yourself further. Everything fits together in absolutely harmony and is the labor of hard work and dedication. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that it's a favorite for me.

i have always considered your walls good examples to learn from in the more complex areas of art, such as lighting, color theory, and, of course, perspective. i sincerely hope that the others who aspire to make truly beautiful walls note yours, and learn from them.
also, read or die FTW!!
freaking awesomeness incarnate, though it lacks true life, so it's not really. but the awesomeness is good enough to deserve life, so i'm still saying it.
as is the usual case with your works, you've earned another fave.
Anyway! The perspective is freaking awesome, that's got to be the best part of this wallpaper. I also like that she's in the middle so I can put my icons on either side.
I love the stones... I've always wanted to try to make some of those in a wall, but I'm not very confident about it. XD
Everything is great~ I don't really have any problems with it. The gallery needed more good ROD wallpapers. +fav and to my desktop.
THIS WALL NEEDS MORE LOVE. D8

Love this wall. I really like sketches on paper. My only gripe, I don't really like texture that's all. I'd love to see non-textured version if possible?
THE PAPER=LOVE!
Add to favourite.
awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, AWESOME!
that's all.. xD
+fav!
Great to see you're submitting a new wallpaper Kalico n_n. I love that this wallpaper is just vectored...(so tired of this trend). Very good job on the drawings on the floating pieces of paper, and the wallpaper is perfect quality as usual. So I slap my big (+FAVE) on it! :D
great wall anyway...
Read or Die

There's a sketch of the girl on every sheet of paper and everything was done in detail.

My fave part is also the perspective. Makes it so much more dramatic.
Only thing I'll pick on is the centered-ness...I wish the circle of papers weren't quite so balanced in the middle and that it looked more natural. But hey it's still workable this way :D.
It really is too bad I never saw this series...made it through the first three and then couldn't continue >_>. Maybe I'll give it another go.
