Before i begin the comment of my wall, i have something to confess. I always loved christian crosses. Even though i'm an atheist, i love this symbol, it reeks with strenght and power, like no other one. Don't misunderstand me, i'm no fu***in' goth freak, i just love crosses. Ok i said it.
So... i had this french comic for a long time, with this huge cross that i scanned and kept preciously for when i would find the right scan :p i was roaming around AP's gallery when i saw this scan of Joe, and the idea came...
I began this wall with a title in mind: Crossfire. Jo is making what you call a crossfire, i had a cross to use, and i never did a full fire BG before... and i love lousy puns. So here we go huh?
I began with a re-CG of the cross, that was having some borders missing.
Then i went for the fire BG, thanks nat for your tutorial, that i enhanced for my needs tho :p well the fire was a real bitch to make, and i tried many way of doing it, before coming back to the first i made: nat's one o_o
now the real big part of this wall: Jo's scan and what is around. you can see the scan HERE
i had to re-colorize the whole scan in tones that were fitting my wall, and that was a pain in the a** it still hurts.
i re-CGed a lil part of the legs and the holster to hide it afterwards with flames :p i love useles work hehe
i created the bullet cases quickly but they look good i think.
i couldn't figure out how to do a good fire burst for the guns, and once again, i clicked the wrong button and said "either i'm completely stupid either i'm a genius. i like the second answer more"
and the painfull stuff in this already painfull work: the tatoo. 100% HANDMADE!
as you can see in the scan, her arm is naked. I drew inspiration in the tatoo she has in the anime and in the one i have on my arm, and the mix looks pretty cool huh? :) THAT is what took me the most time i think.
well that's all i guess... 40 something layers, 6hours of work... thanks Blu3angel for providing me the link of nat's tutorial when the fire was already made :p and gat for the final check, even if i didn't change anything in the end (i can't put 50 bullets cases, her guns are .50 Desert Eagles, no submachine guns lol)
EDIT--> after few PM of people complaining, i made the blurred version the official one. more realistic heh...
enjoy, you bunch of pyromaniac wackos.
