Wow I haven't submitted anything for around a month... >_> Well, exams are pretty much over so I finished this wall which I started a month back...
Right anyway, for this one the background was done completely from scratch, the bridge included. Yes, believe it or not, I drew every last evil pixel of the bg. I would say that this one involved more time, effort and angst than my Home Sweet Home wall.
As for layers, I can't even be bothered to count them all, especially since I made most of it in separate files and then shoved them together to minimise lag. But if I was to guess, I'd say its somewhere between 200 and 300 layers. Considering the buildings took about 200 layers.
I know my extraction skills stink, plus the orignal scan wasn't very high quality, and on top of that I had to
enlarge it a bit to fit the size I wanted. Really sorry about that.
Scan from minitokyo scan gallery, submitted by
Miroku4444.
The building was drawn based on a photo I found on the net, it was the most irritating and frustrating thing I've ever drawn on Photoshop. And still it turned out to be the worst part of the wall T_T Everything's really wonky and it doesn't seem to fit in that well. If you really want to know, I pretty much drew the whole thing with chunks of strategically shaped colours. And I used a brick texture for the walls. And yes, those weird things sticking out of the water are... well weird but meh, it was on the photo and it'd look empty if I took them out. I have no idea what they are.
The bridge was actually quite fun, the bricks and sandstone texture were made with filters.
Meh, and I really suck at drawing clouds >_<
Right, I thought that I should dedicate this wall to the people who are currently kind of away from MT due to various reasons, such as Semanga, Samanosuke, Crewcifix, Melmachine and Flowerdog. I haven't really talked to many of them properly but it suits the theme and I'm sure many people here are waiting for them to return.
Enough babbling from me. And like I always say, comments are really welcome, both good and bad. Although I have a feeling that there's going to be a lot of crits this time... >_>

My hat is off to you Kara san ! Your wallie is a true work of ART ! The buildings look very realistic, I love the use of the perspective technique you used. Excellent example: the windows (the lines going toward the sunset. The windows going up toward the sky. This would be a "Two point perspective".
I also love the architecture of your buildings. Romanesque (Italian-1300's-1600's).
Your artwerk has a romantic touch and feel to it. The water adds a timeless appearence to the theme U are addressing.
Of course, I like the look of the lovely onna, the way she is looking at me (like I was her best friend or lover). Her face has the look of enthusiasm, of "I will miss you very much !"
Just for the moment, thanxs to U, I am imagining that I am over there in Venice, Italy (time: who cares !)
I hope the kirei onna that I meet will be as sweet as her.
Silly me, I am a hopeless fool ! @___@ !
P.S., you have a real talent, I hope to see more of more werk ! -
