Hey everyone, it's finally time to submit another wall. This time, we've got a wall from Tokyo Babylon, which is also set to be the first (and only so far) entry in the Tokyo Babylon group wallpaper contest! (come join if you'd like)

Well, anyways, this wall has gone through several revisions, and we can go through a timeline here:

1.
The scan didn't cover the entire bg, so I had to draw in the sides.
2. The white bars on the sides would all eventually be filled with stuff that I drew in myself. The lines I drew in after that, I used the pen tool to get them just right. There also was the matter of cleaning the image. There were a lot of white specks on the clothing, so those were filled in using the clone brush.
After drawing in the sides, which were drawn using then pen tool, and also the clone brush to keep the original feel of the sheets, I vectored the "TYO" at the bottom because it looked all grainy. I also vectored the bottom of one of Subaru's boots for the same reason. After that, I duplicated the base layer again and extracted the three from it. This way I could clean the part of the image that had them in it and further separate them from the blankets. I ended up with a base, which had the original image, a layer with just the characters on it, and a layer with just the sheets. This made it easier to make adjustments. Also somewhere around this step, I colored in their eyes. In the beginning their eyes were all gray, but I colored them so that Subaru and Hokuto had their green eyes, and Seishirou had amber ones. This further sort of made the characters stand out a little more. After that, I cleaned the image some more, adding in some vectored lines around their shoes so that they were more smooth.
After that, I just had to add the text and do a final quality check before adding on the texture and recoloring.
This is what I came up with:
3. After some more blending, and texture adding, I recolored the sheets and the texture itself using a combination of the color changer, change to target brush and hue adjustment side bars. After a few final steps, we have the finished product. You can see all of the revisions here: SZ Thread
