One in a series of Kino no Tabi wallpapers based on chapter illustrations from
the novel. I chose this chapter, "Nodoka na Kuni" (The Tranquil
Country) for two reasons: Riku (my favorite character) and the fact that the two
seem to be resting in a modern rural Japanese village. This is a departure from
the usual villages Kuroboshi illustrates which are mostly inspired by Medieval
European villages and buildings (see the Chances wallpaper for an example). I
colored the illustration (although kept in line with Kuroboshi's sometimes style
of "all shadows are black") with a very simple color scheme after
tracing it (unfortunately, the image in the artbook is veeery small, and bending
my novel to scan a larger version would only mean having to reconstruct the
center, making a trace the only viable method). Since the chapter was titled
"The Tranquil Country", "The Idle Life" seemed quite
appropriate.

whootness! first to post! anyways, looks nice, very simple but the simplicity is a good thing.
Wow, very cool! I love the simple colors and everything is so neat! Great job!
Very nice wallie.. its so funny.. I like the title "the idle life" hehe... I think the character is
getting bored coz there is no people there.. hehe
maybe it's just me, but the way his face is drawn, wouldn't his eye be sunk way into his head? ... or spread incredibly far apart? ... I don't know. :P
Very nice! I really love the earthy colors you used. Very crisp, very clean, very good! Great job!
Its very simple, and as always the lines are impeccable. The sudden dark areas in the wallpaper remind me of inked drawings.
Submitting 3 Kino walls, you must be good at what you do... beautifull vecotred and the sky is the limit. Kinda reminds me of me but without the dog T__T traveler but i dont have a companion... Anyway good job! :P
Being a person who likes simple things, this is definitely to my taste. Like the colours and love the vector work.
