Cowboy Bebop: Vitamin C

Cowboy Bebop Wallpaper
Sunrise Studio Cowboy Bebop Series

1600x1200

Artist Comment

This wallpaper was made thanks to Shinn84. When he was working on his own Bebop wallpaper and I was giving some advice, I began to search the galleries for reference pictures of Faye's Redtail. That led me to discover this scan which just oozed style (moreso than your average Bebop pictures, which also ooze style) because of the flat, retro shading and colors. However, the full scan was unavailable so I looked to see if any other image gallery had a full version. I didn't find one, but I did find a different scan from Nat in the same style, so I decided to wall that instead.
Just a crisp, clean vector because the style fits it so perfectly. Also, it allowed me to reposition the characters since the original was too wide for a typical 4x3 resolution, and to adjust the image accordingly so it still works out. The title came from someone on IRC (RurouniSpritz I think) because it was orange, and the Vitamin tracks from No Disc represent the cutscene music they play for the commercial break interludes. I used the font from the original scan (ITC Oficina Serif), and made it REALLY REALLY BIG because, well, I couldn't think of any other way to put the text. Oh well.
Spike is hawt.

    OMG this is some excellent work Tama, almost like an old school wally of posterized image! The text and cut scnes really bring out the beauty of the design wall but all it needs is some smoke coming out of the cigarette Spike is getting at? oh well a fave for me i guess! :)

    Hehe. At least you succeed where I "failed" lol. This is really a nice wallpaper, I swear this could be used as a cover for an album of Bebop's soundtrack. It perfectly matches the style of the anime. I really got no complaints for it, I love it and I am setting it on my desktop right now.

    Another great vector Tama. I like the colors for this wall, it reminds me of the opening sequence for the show.

    VERY Professional. I would have mistook it for an official art. Really, your abilities are enviable. I most certainly look forward to seeing more submissions from you.

    Nice look - kinda 70s style, though too much orange for my personal taste.
