ZOMG it's NOT a Kino wall!
But it IS a vector trace wall. So boo you, Osi. :P I LIKE tracing, darnit.
When I got manga volume 12 of Spiral, I really liked the cover design. This book introduces a new character, Mizushiro Hizumi, to the Spiral cast. I don't want to go into any details about his character because it would majorly spoil the story (and the revelations from manga 11 are best left to when you read that volume) but Hizumi is essentially Narumi Ayumu's opposite. Like Kanone, he's got a smiling charm that hides something possibly more sinister. The mirroring of thet wo on the cover then makes sense, with Ayumu in whites and Hizumi in blacks. Within the book, Eyes Rutherford and Kyrie (a manga-only character) remark that Ayumu and Hizumi are like two sides of a coin; heads and tails; light and dark.
I traced the image because I wanted to challenge myself with a manga trace, which doesn't have definate boundaries for colors, so I could see if a hard-shaped trace would look as good as the original. I'm pleased with the results, and may do more of these style of traces in the future. The background uses a brush I made from an Illustrator symbol (a feather) because of the whole "angel/devil" imagery that is alluded to, and because feathers are... fun!
EDIT: Oooh crud! I just realized I misspelled Hizumi's name! It's MizUshiro, not MizOshiro. Doh! There were a few other mistakes in the vector file I fixed as well. Doh -_-

Waii!! This wall is beautiful! Personally, I don't know much about how to make a wall and whatnot but I really, really like this wall! Never seen this series either. ^_^'

i like the way the two of them are the opposite of each other. The background too. It's nice with all the feathers and colours.

I had this pic printed ou to make myself some bookmarks. They're really nice as well, even if I had to make some slight changes...

Thank you for making this wall! *add to favs*
