Revenge... is best a dish served cold
Sure, it's an old cliche, but that's what's sung in the ending theme to Gankutsuou, and it's not
cliche for nothing - it fits the personality of the Count quite well.
I've finished watching Gankutsuou so it's time to make me some more walls! The bishounen flood continues
(after slight derailment by Kino wallpapers, which are always top priority :D) with the Count of Monte Cristo. Scans
from here and here. I removed Albert, because he's such a pansy. Redid the
patterns and all. I also patterned the outlines for more effect.
The celestial mobile background was drawn in Illustrator based off of the intricate clockwork mobile at the Count's
residence in Champs Elysee (basis),
using Clock of the Sun and Moon as a starting
point. Drew in the eye-compass (a creepy thing I must say) and added all the little floating spheres, including two
constellations; the (big) Dipper and Cassiopeia.
The starfield is an old one I had from a Stellvia
wallpaper with numerous modifications. I ended up making the entire background golden to contrast with the
Count's blue hair and face and to match with his outlining.
I wasn't originally going to make this a celestial wall, but when I was positioning stuff, I dumped in the
starfield so I would have a non-white background, and because the original scan was celestial. It looked pretty good
like that, so I stuck with the idea.
This wallpaper is dedicated to KiWiB0RG who was sweet enough to send me most of the episodes after I got frustrated with
the lack of xdcc bots serving this series in AniKraze's channel.
EDIT: As per some comments, I've changed the text to the same blue as the Count's hair. It makes sense, since
"revenge is a dish best served cold".
EDIT2: I just realized this is my 100th wall on MT! Huzzah!
EDIT3: (last one perhaps?) Decomposition of Revenge
EDIT4: (I swear, I'll stop editing this one day) Additional resolutions are now available at DA! Desktop Anime

Alas, the link "http://www.ynot.co.jp/cgi-bin/cardlist.cgi?SF=ynot&Type=kabegami&CardListNum=1&CardListMax=20&Category=VSFgko" seems to be broken!
I was unable to find this marvellous clockwork mobile in high resolution. It's too bad...
Anyway, It's simply stunning. The background is fabulous, and it might be an independent wallpaper. It's too good to be forever covered by the Count(BTW he also looks great) :nya:
