Well, I decided to make a wallpaper to take a break from the numerous vectors I'm working on. And yes, it's a vector wallpaper. Addictions are fun!
I really like Jigoku Shoujo's animation style, and I really, really like vectoring it. Recently, I've been experimenting on designing posters using only black, white and one other color, so I decided to try and make a wallpaper in the same style.
I got the original scan here, thanks to KahiryZura for uploading it!
Time - 2 1/2 hours
Photoshop CS2
Music - Busenfreund by Tosca
I'm pretty content with the results. I wanted to do something that turned out to be impossible with the text, so I just kept it red. Thanks for the suggestion, Highknees. I made the top of the hat black instead, I thought it stuck out too much too. I wanted to keep the brim there, though. ;)
Here's an alternative widescreen resolution - 1280x768.
