well, i somehow found inspiration to start another wall. this one was greatly inspired by Utada Hikaru, & Darkest Hour.....all really good music. its got 25 long fought layers. I've been working on this one for almost 2 weeks now, and i'm quite high strung b'cuz of it, but i am satisfied with the final outcome. getting the colors of the render to flow with the colors of the bg was the hardest part. also, "blending" the render in was quite difficult since i'm used to dealing with a filtered/brushed bg, not a stock image so i decided to almost completely leave the render, as is. the bg, btw, is two stock images that i poked at,cut, smacked, rubbed(...?) and molded together to form a cohesive bg(which was a bitch to do). what i wanted to do with the bg and render is show a contrast. the calm of the small town and the turbulant sky. i kinda see war like that. i think the render also shows a contrast in the fact that, she looks like a calm, quiet, innocent girl, but then she's holding the two swords and is ready for war. ^_^

p.s. - i have no idea what the kanji's on the side mean, so if they say anything stupid and/or funny then let me know.^_^

the stock images were two Philips Koninck paintings
the render is thanx to CHC999(my render savior! ^_^)
brushes thanx to Deviantartists:

    Amazing wallie, wow! Too bad It cant be bigger. I have a feeling that streching would be bad for it.

    good thing you finally submitted, like I told you, nothing is bad looking once you tried hard enough. and this is examplary try from a new waller. Congrats in making in, it is good enough, love the textures albeit overused a bit.

    I had seen this picture many months ago, but your wallpaper is just magnificent! It really adds the feeling of struggle, the hardness of war but also the honor of fighting for a cause.

    Congratulations! ^^ *2 thumbs up* Great warrior feeling! Worthy of the spirit of Bushido n_n Namarie!
