(Do I have to write a description for this...?)
Hm, this wall was made for Arete, a Yoshitaka Amano walling competition. Overall, it was tough since I'm not used to Yoshitaka Amano's scan, plus, it's NEVER easy to wall Amano. I believe those who've walled Amano scan would agree with me. ^^
Anyways... the original title for this wall should be the same as the scan.. which is "The Dreamseer". But there were some minor problems that caused me to go off track from using that title, and that has to be Utada Hikaru's Exodus.
When I first looked at the scan, I couldn't scrap a single idea to match the scan. I mean, besides dark and black.. what else? Then I looked hard and FINALLY realised the scan has a title... which I kinda missed earlier on, idea kept flowing.
So I went to Stock Xchange and searched for about 7-8 stock photos of random sceneries, played random filters with each of them (Seriously, I had no idea what I was going to do with them, but I wasn't just going to slap them just right at the back) Shift here and there with my scan as initial guide.
And then there was the scan. Amano scan, is not worth the extract. And I never wanted to ruin the scan. So all I did was to blend the scan by lowering the opacity of the eraser and erased the edge of the scan so it blends with the background. And then some minor brushings, cleaning and text, that's pretty much about this wall.
As I've said, the original title for this wall should be "The Dreamseer", so all the stock photos in the background symbolises the dream that this woman, the Dreamseer could see, either from the future, present or past. Please ignore the text though, I was just a little over Utada. (She rocks!)
