Entry for Individual Round
1 - "Infatuation"
The worst problem for me was the translation of the theme. Though the rules say something about extravagant love, I was
pretty confused, so I looked it up in an English <-> English dictionary. It says:
"infatuation / a strong feeling of love for someone or interest in
something, especially a feeling that is unreasonable and does not continue for a long time."
Since most of the entries for WAR were about love between women and men (or their shadows haha), I chose the second
option.
This girl stole the old Scooty Puff Senior from her elder brother. But since she's underage (unreasonable), she didn't have a drivers licence. Still she drove around a lot. Some day she had the foolish idea of driving down the subway. However, she didn't think of any Mr Bananas lying on the floor. So having seen a dove, she wanted to chase it around. She didn't pay attention because she had a 'strong interest' in the stolen scooter (interest in something); it was comfortable and colored in baby-blue. The end of the story may be a little bit too bloody to wall it. So wasn't able to ride the scooter anymore. That's why I call it a 'short lived passion' (does not continue for a long time) - an infatuation.
If you want me to jump out of one of my three windows, tell me the stairs look weird. I'm just being on the second floor, but it may hurt a bit when I reach the floor, you know. The perspective was a pain in the butt and I'm still not happy about it. What I loved most were the details, like the cigarette stubs and dirty posters of a Blackstones-concert (Nana x Murata haha) and the new Animation 'Catch Range' (did anyone get the pun?). I noticed that there are many doves - flying rats, as my brother uses to say - in such subway stations, so that's why I added it. The most fun were the graffiti. Neat, aren't they?
I started with the vector of the scan on the second or third day of the contest. I hate the vector, it's ugly and it took forever. But I can't help it, the original scan was a little grungy.
Credits:
Brushes: dirt (between the tiles and the floor) from 8nero (I think...)
Scans: Girl on scooter, Blackstones-poster, Movie-poster
Inspired by: German subways, Futurama and my Winamp

Wall: PMK:
Your Sweet Insanity
Reason: It's PMK, reason enough xD I really like this wall, the grunge is
very nice and the position of the scan is very fitting. It's still very un-appreciated.
EDIT: Changed the graffiti-color, the stubs don't look too weird anymore (I hope), repaired some part on the
stairs, the dove has more shading and so on.

you vectored it? T__T makes the rest of us look bad chibikko XD
anyway, the whole scene is very details, nice ^^
i like how you took scans from both nana and range to make the posters cause it basically covers all the requirements XD
lol i think youve clearly got the theme down, cause the little sister is doing many foolish things like riding down stairs oO, over banana peels oO, and being underage oO but most of all, what is she doing riding in the prescence of all those cigarettes ?!??!?!??!?!? XD lol or did she smoke too and throw em aside? jk XPonly crit might be the ashes are a bit overly darkened maybe blur them a bit or lessen opacity.
other than that, its all good ^^so many sceneric detailed walls......its gona be hard to win >___<
good luck in WAR +favps. PMK eh? look at my sig
vvvv the one and only perverted HEISUKE XD -

i feel ashamed; I need to learn how to do the damn thing XD
anyways...the wall looks gorgeous almost in every way. I just don't like how the blue part ends.
combination of the scans and creativity is top notch...as always.
I love that banana u put on that stairs...evil :)

It actually very impossible for a scooter to make the rider slip off the vehicle cos of a banana but i like it, I bet the pidgeon or dove gets squished by her falling off.... XD
Lovely vecortor and nice use of the subway, urban scene. Nice work as usual Chibi! ^__^ -

Und schon wieder bin ich ein wenig spaet mitm kommentar T_T
Sogar noch spaeter wie ich eigentlich wollte, denn mutter kam ins zimmer und hat das wall gesehen... also musste ich ihr erst laaaaaang und breit erklaeren was das fuern "bild" ist -_-''
(Was echt nervig ist... ich erklaer es mal so: mutter + animes = passt nicht zusammen)
Anyway...
This wall is really amazing. I love the idea with the posters and the nice details like banana or the pigeon (bin mir jetzt nicht sicher... ich meine damit die taube)
And no... the stairs don't look weird.
Umm... good colors... like always.
But i also like the story. Especially the part with mr banana xD xD. I laughed my ass of :D :D
Lord banana the evil devil. (Da wittere ich doch echt ne dicke story. Wird mr banana es schaffen das maedchen zum rutschen zu bringen? Oder soll man lieber von der "gerechten strafe" sprechen? Das und noch viel mehr... demnaechst...!!!) *sebistsobloed* xD xD
Again... nice story xD
Of corse a fav (not only because of the story ^_^'')

Wow yet another chibikko wall that must've taken ages and tons of work. I'm liking all the different touches you've made to this to make it look like the character is riding out of the subway station or something along those lines. I think the big issue with this wall is the clash between the soft and simple parts, mainly your vectors, and all the sharper and harder environment of the wall. Also there needs to be more shadowing/lighting so it doesn't look so plain and not as flat. Still, this is a comendable job, it's still asounding to see all that you accomplished with this wall.

it's different and cute, really like the details to the background and the busy work within the background such as the bird and the stairs. also good details to the character too.
