Artist Comment

I recently began watching Mushishi because several of my friends have pointed out parallels between this series and one of my favorites, Kino no Tabi. So far I've been enjoying the series a lot, for much of the same reasons I love Kino. So I decided to wall it. I was mucking around looking for some good scans when I noticed part an OST scan showing Ginko smoking on AnimePaper - but it was only half of Ginko. Digging around some more, I found a whole scan of the image, so it was time to trace! I reduced the colors even more than the original scan - the darkest shadows on Ginko's coat is the same as the black background so he sort of blends into it. The smoke mushi idea came from the first episode where Ginko uses his cigarillo to control a smoky mushi. I decided to have ghostly smoky mushi shapes coming out of his cigarillo. They were free-drawn based on various sketches characters look at in the series. And since everything else was smoky I made the show's title rise out of the smoke too. Very noir.

    i love how you incorporated the kanji [not sure what they mean] and the bird into the smoke eminating from the "cigarillo". has a vectored, pseudo watercolored look to it.

    btw-thanks for hosting alternate wall deminsions on your site Lady Tama-Neko.
    will have to scope out this series..

    Neat idea tama! Awesome vectoring - I just gotta love your outlines <333
    Your smokes look fantastic. They remind me of my dad's friend who made circles out of smoke >_< Very nice. =D

    I'm having a major happiness moment over here. It's so rare to find Mushishi stuff. THANK YOU! *ahem* Okay, fan-girl moment over. ^_^' Actually, I'd been thinking that Mushishi does bear a lot of similarities to Kino as well, so it's great to hear that I'm not the only one. :)

    Great job on the vectoring, and I do like how you incorporated the mushishis themselves into the wallpaper. The only thing I would like to see done is the title in smoke be less blurred and easier to read. Maybe even do some sun dappling in the background since a lot of the show seems to take place outdoors, or inside houses in front of open doors. Okay, so that's really two things ;) , but I really appreciate your efforts on a Mushishi wallpaper. Thanks so much!

    What can I say! Wonderful! Ginko is is very crisp and looks like he's actually talking to someone. This is my absolute favourite anime and I look forward to seeing more of your wallpapers. I added this to my favs and I just had to put it on my desktop :)

    Wow! It's beautiful *.* It's amazing how good you manage to make Ginko blends so nicely into the background! I really love the way you make ghostly smoky mushi shapes coming out of Ginko's cigarillo^^ Overall, it's a wonderful masterpiece :D
    I love Mushishi a lot so I'm overjoyed that you make a wallie out of it :) You mention that Kino no Tabi is somewhat the same, I guess I must give it a try too! -grins-
    Hope to see more of your works~

    Heh...very cool. Love the smoke-kanji and other designs. Some sort of squid or jellyfish, maybe, a...bat, perhaps, a snail-ish thing and...erm, some sort of fruit. Those would be my guesses anyway. Regardless, it is undeniably cool. I also like the sheer darkness of the wall.
