This is my submission for W.A.R roundONE.

Firstly I thought of making a range murata wall but, I my line of ideas broke and I got stuck, so I found this nana scan, which I found perfect for a wall.
The scan is by Lizardy.
I used the scan and vectored it. Looks like during vectoring she lost his metal finger, hehe. Cause the final version of the vector looked too good to do anything complex, well complex really isn't my thing, I went with a simple wall.
Everything is in red and white, but the cigarette and the smoke coming from it are not, it's because I tried to bring attention to them cause she has infatuation for cigarettes.
As she is smoking her smoke she feels like in she is in a white world full of red abstract flowers, it can happen XD. So she is just enjoying her smoke and chilling in her imagination.

I used no brushes. Made the vector in illustrator and the BG in flash, only resource I used was the scan, which I was supposed to use.
The red area in the left is for icons.

enjoi.

    I love the bold and bright feel of it. It's a simple idea, but looks so complex. The pose just adds to the slick and stylish feel for it all. And red, so beautiful & bright, yet so dangerous at the same time... Fantastic!

    bold and beatiful..haha just like what yurikohime said.
    since u're representing Simplie-ism....and nonetheless, ur style is always simple/clean and stylish!~ haha the red and white color is a nice choice.
    but is it me?...i see some blurriness in the white area, especially around the edges...
    again, i must say this wall truly represents ur sense of style. ^^

    p.s. Smoking is no good.... XP

    Addendum: *smoking IS BAD FOR YOUR health* The Nana scans are causing many walls promoting smoking to pop up on mt... XD <33

    Done in uber-recognizable drell style, and I personally LOVE the colors... The simplicity/complexity of the background patterns is wonderful, and having the explanation adds a lot ^.~ You have a rather different concept of infatuation from most people... not the love thing. Props to you for the original conception *^.^*

    *does the Mokona dance for the Simple team* XD

    This is great, i really like the texture of the bg, the scan is also a good one. You say its simple, but i couldn't do it better myself. Take care.

    breathtaking wall! [no pun intended ^^] this is really one of your signature pieces. the background is just the degree of simplicity/complexity. wonderful work!

    What group is that for in WAR? If it's wallpaper revolution, then I'll cheer you on ^^ If it's from other groups, then I say grrr hehe

    Anyways, I like how the cross pattern creates depth in the background. i like the effect. But it does seem a bit plain. And the icon space is a bit small...
