Best at full view :)
This wall is actually has a bit of meaning... it's a tribute to music or more to the point the way music makes you feel.

Ok so Minerva was the Roman name of Greek goddess Athena. She was considered to be the virgin goddess of warriors, poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, crafts, and the inventor of music.

The music side is what my wall focus' on. The band called Deftones did a song called Minerva, which is basically a tribute to music, this song was the inspiration for this wall. I knew I wanted to do a wall with this theme for a while, i just couldn't find the right scan. Untill I stumbled upon Sekirei gallery. The scan had to be a female and it had have music involved somehow. The scan didn't have anything musical in it, so i added a iPod looking thing, which worked so well because of the position of her hand, thus I solved my "music theme" problem with the scan.
The background stumped me pretty bad. I spent hours trying different things. eventually got the clouds right, and the colours too. I had to get the right atmosphere... a kind of trippy feel to it. The kind of feeling you get when a your favourite song "consumes you". All this relied on the background plus i had to get it suit the vector. The text is a a bit lyrics from the Deftones song, [it's not some sentimental/polictal statement i'm trying to make. I just liked the lyics]
I came so close to giving up on the whole thing, but i'm glad i didn't. I hope you like it as much as i do.
