**** FULL VIEW PLEASE ****

Here is my entry for the battleground round 4 : TLM vs EVI ... We lost ... sadly ... congrats to the other team ... they really make very good walls

If you already saw my entry for this round, you'll see the "battleground submitted" wall is quite different from the one i am submitting today
The reason is that i cannot finish this wall on time for the deadline ... i did my best but failed ... I just wanted to apologize to my team for this ... Sorry guys ...I'm such a bother sometimes :(
Anyway i didn't have any reason to submit the older version to AP so i to finish it so i took the oportunity of my holidays to finish it

Enough stupid babbling ... ow about the wall :
This wall was a challenge for me : I wanted to work on some techniques i barely used before
- perspective with 2 vanishing points
- lighting

Everything in the background is handmade (yes everything )
Just for you to know : except for the Okinomiyaki stand ( the blue one on the left ) that i vectored from a screenshot and adapted to my perspective , I vectored all the other stands from scratch , without any model ...
The Dragon lanterns were vectored from a pic found on google
The others are made from scratch too
The seats, bowl and lottery wheel are also vectored from scratch ...
The fireworks are hand made (that's why they suck :( ) ... While vectoring them i was thinking that it would have been a lot quicker and easier with a tablet
For some reason i didn't manage to make them decent ... stock photos were too realistic compared to the scan so i had to keep the unrealistic one ...


The readable kanjis :
The one on the lanterns : Matsuri : Festival
The one on the Blue stand on the left : Okinomiyaki : Japanese crepe
THe one on the Red stand on the right : Ramen (noddles )
The one on the green stand on the right : Takoyaki : Little crepe balls with meat or fish/poulp inside (Mion is holding a bow with Takoyaki (if i'm not mistaken )
The food names are japanese specialities ... just google them to know more about them

The one barely readable on the red lantern on the bottom of the alley (on the left) means "Violent death" ...
It is the only hint i put to show the atmosphere of the serie,
The Watanagashi festival is a fest every year in Hinamizawa but it also hides 2 violent murders
That's why i left this one even if it looks a bit strange :/

I religiously sticked to my vanishing points and lines ... i hope that the perspective is not wrong ... it doesn't seems so in my eyes ...

Errr ... I'm open to EVERY suggestion that will help me to make this wall look better ...
Please point out any flaws and if possible tell me how to fix them ...
I really want constructive critics on this wall ...

I think this wall looks busy but feels empty in the same time ...
If you have any suggestion to fix this please feel free to tell me ... I'll edit it

Hope you like it anyway
