This wallpaper features a scan I got off the Anime Project Alliance Gallery ( link here). As you can see, it's very sketchy and practically colorless. I had to repaint Cheza and Kiba's face - which took the better part of a day and 30-something layers. I was actually quite sad in putting a background behind them, as it pretty much muted all the details of my painting.
Anyway, after fixing the scan, I made my own parchment background and then added a map of the "old" world from a history book in a university library. I was thinking about Cheza and Kiba's epic trek throughout all of Wolf's Rain.
I wanted to actually put more details and symbols in the background but eventually decided against it - mostly because the insane number of large layers was making Photoshop lag on my sad, sad PC but also because the nature of the image (the sketchiness) made it tough.

Simple and yet effective, this sucker's going in my favorites.
