For Candy-chan and Gideon, fellow Art Nouveau wallers-in-crime ;)
The original art was already done in Art Nouveau style, and has been my favorite image of Letort for years. It's about time I actually walled it. Plus, Letort is hawt. Hawt guys on my desktop, mmmmMmm!
I extracted Letort probably several months ago, but never got anywhere with the framing. I found it again recently so I decided to actually finish it this time. The top frame is based off the scan, extended horizontally, which gave me the perfect place to put the title. The frames on the sides were based off of artworks by Alphonse Mucha. The various overlays of forest use stocks from Stock Exchange, and were selected to match the original scan.
The original scan is a rather odd combination of green framing and purple Letort. That's because Letort's colors are dark blue and purple, but I didn't like that combination in this wall so I used several layers of selective color to make his clothing green and yellow.
Texture for that good ol' oldtime feel, and to blend the scan and framing together.
The hardest part about using Art Nouveau framing is getting the thing to look decent on 16x10, 4x3 and 5x4. I used the same technique for my last Nouveau-styled wall (Gankutsuou/We Were Lovers) by using 3 sets of frames, each one adding to the horizontal size of the finished piece.
More resolutions! (In other words: stop complaining!)
