HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRAP!

That's right. Today (Dec. 3) is crapmonster's 20th birthday! Crap isn't a big birthday person but everyone likes happy birthday wishes... :) If you think that he's one of the coolest wallers ever, head on over to his guestbook and spam him! If you don't think that he's one of the coolest wallers ever, it's probably 'cause you haven't seen his walls. XP Head on over to his page anyways and worship his walls before you wish him happy birthday! XD

So... this is a Genshiken + crapmonster spoof, since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... ROFL. The twirling mushrooms in Kujibiki Unbalance really stuck in my head for some reason. I couldn't stop laughing while I was doing this wall... haha. Which is good, because well, school's been killing me and I got started on this present way too late. I originally wanted to do a Nana wall, but punked out for the background and wanted to do something "easier." So I started vectoring Honey & Clover! (Yah, I know my logic is screwed up. Thank god I don't want to be a lawyer.) While vectoring Hagu's 1000th strand of hair at 3am last night it finally sank in that I'm not crap and am therefore incapable of finishing a vectored wall in 3 hours.

So I woke up this morning, realized that I had a shitload of schoolwork to take care of this weekend... and decided that I need to finish this present before noon. So I made some mushroom doodles, scanned, colored, burned, smudged, played with text... ROFL. This has got to be my silliest wall ever but it definitely cracks me up. And I managed to finish it before noon XP Laugh and enjoy... it's not meant to be profound. Hope you like it crap <3

Updates:
12/5/05: Nudged text just a bit. Also, did some more burning and smudging of shadows, thanks to Nuniko for the suggestion <3

    Tee hee, this is kawaii ne >_< but but but... the expression on their faces looks too ... erm.. what do you call that? erm... (thank God I dont wanna be a lawyer too XD I cannot even remember a word...) fixated? Hmm, something like that... it doesnt look comical enough and of different texture than the mushroom outlines :) so maybe you would wanna try to draw it manually? Cos now I think you are using the text tool to do it :D
    And yeah, the wall is very empty ne... XP but still kawaii... and cool idea ;)
    Guess now I will go to crap's GB and spam!

    Aw, they`re such little cuties. A very special idea =3 Looks rather nice overall.

    Hmm, mushrooms... that explains a lot. *nod nod* XD

    Teasing, of course. Love it; it's too damn cute. I'm using it right now so I can enjoy the adorableness (it's a word. hush. >_>).

    I like the brown and the mushroom.
    I reckon this one has a nice classic modern kinda look.
    The lettering is simple, but it is good for the wall.
    Not much to say, other than i like it ^_^.
    GOod job

    Just realized I never commented on mt about this wall...which is sad because this really is my favorite favorite one of your works...(despite your delusional state of mind while making it ...hehehe :D )
    It really masters the simplicity idea...pure color background just the right shade to match the simple but hilarious mushrooms...genius I say ;) :)
    Still wish the faces were less font like but hey...I love it anyway...makes me laugh everytime I see them :D
