I'm not quite sure what the original motivation behind this wallpaper was,
because the idea came when I was still working on my Spiral wallpaper, but I
thoroughly smashed it because I knew that if I began it, I would never finish
the Spiral one. Well, I finished the Spiral one so I threw out this one.
I based the newspaper layout, especially the typeset, on the front page of the
LA Times, since that's what I read most often, and it's readily accessible. The
scan comes from Kino. I wrote up the copy myself (hence the byline, Tamane Cole,
which you can pronounce the same way as "Tama-Neko" - I also had fun
giving Kino (Kee Noh) credit as the photographer from the Associated Press 
)
Some minor texturing on the paper to give it an aged, newsprint look. Wood
panelling come from Stock Exchange, plus some
filtering to soften it a bit.
Watch was built based on several screenshots from the first opening and
throughout the show. This also allowed me to use the chimera as a logo for the
paper itself.
I went through about 4 ideas for the newspaper's location. Originally it was
going to be to Winry, as if Ed had torn out the article and sent it to her, and
I was going to put some screwdrivers and wrenches on the table to indicate it
was at her place. Then I thought it could go the other way around, with Winry
forwarding the piece to Ed with a note, and a silver pocketwatch to indicate it
was at Ed's place. Then I didn't want to draw screwdrivers, nuts and bolts, or a
silver watch, so I wrote a note from Risa to Roy reprimanding him for his
actions, and was going to draw in Roy's spark gloves. But spark gloves were too
difficult to draw, too. Also, the notes were starting to look rather petty. So I
gave in and redrew the watch, so whether it's on Roy's desk or Ed's is up to
you.
Okay, I think that's the longest description I've written for a wall yet. I bet
most of you won't even read it.
Oh well.
If you're really curious, here is full
text of the "press release" since some of it is trimmed off by the
angle of the paper. This isn't exactly the text in the wall, since I did
some final editing in Photoshop to adjust for the column spacing, but that's the
original copy.
EDIT:
Dude, stop faving this wallpaper 
Nat's wallpaper is way more
creative, unique, and well executed than this thing. Her wall deserves way more
attention than what it's been getting and way more favs this this wall.

Kudos for all the effort of writing an article to go in your wall. That's a neat touch that you can most definately call all your own. Nice effort on the watch, it is very similar to what's seen on the show (not quite, but real close), though I'd like to see a chain attached to it. It'd give it a little more authenticity. Awesome job on the texturing of the newspaper and the text of the newspaper name. That looks great. I would recommend adding some wrinkles or "crumples" to the article. That's a really sturdy piece of paper otherwise to have not got beatten up.
Really cool idea, and I did read the whole description of the wall and what went
on "behind the scenes." Great idea, glad to see it made it to
fruition.
can't believe u can actually readthe paper!
such a great effect with the table too.
This is an absolutely splendid wallpaper! I love how realistic the newspaper looks-- brilliant job with the article. I'd be interested it read it in its entirety.
The image that was used for it was a perfect action shot and I love the way the newspaper is laid out.
The table and watch are nice additions and the entire image is well balanced and beautiful. Simply amazing work!
wow! you really made that article by yourself! thats one heck of a job! this is truly one great work truly!
I love it, especially the newspaper idea. Makes it look so much like the 20th century. Thanks for sharing it!
I really like this wall. It's really unique. Also, the texture of the scan is really cool.
