More Mushishi fun. I liked this scan ever since I saw it, because of the brushed
style and the really simple, heartwarming feeling that the father-son relationship gives off. The background is based
off of Hasui Kawase (1883-1957)'s woodblock print, "Fuji from Matsubaara at Miho" because it had the fishing
boats and the ocean. I transformed it from ukiyo-e to a much simpler one-color calligraphic brush style to match with
the characters. The "scribble and tweak" effect of Illustrator proved to be very useful in this regard.
Photoshop was used to add the texture, scanned from some handmade paper. I kept it one color, although I may consider
coloring it later, but I like the effect it has right now. The Japanese text "Oyako" means "Parent and
Child" or in this case, "Father and Son."

not getting enough attention this wallpaper... *sighs*
lovely wallpaper tama. i like how you kept it monotonous and old-ish paper-like. It really suits the style of the wall. Looks great. Nice vectoring too. -
Omg... Must absolutely fav.
I spent a lot of time on Ukio-e books and paintings... and you made me remember those times with this awesome piece of art. I agree with eunasahng, this wall deserves more than 12 favs!
You did a great job on Fujisan... oh, my. This Is Japan!
Great job Tama-Neko! More like this please T_T -
A great wallpaper, a lot like an old, monochromatic painting on a papyrus. Nice choice of the scan and setting - fits the style of the wallaper very much.

HOORAY :D
Haha XD Anyway, the wallie is smply breathtaking! It really seems as if the whole thing is a woodblock print. You have done a really marvelous job making this wallie -beams- Great job! -
Beautiful overall appearance, going with that classic papyrus feel again. You pull it off very well. I love the scenery, especially rendered in this style...it just looks so cool. The father and son add the "aww" factor, but I'm more impressed that they're going fishing. I know, it's a "common" thing, but I've got such great memories of fishing with my own father...
Dangit...now I have to go fund this "Mushishi" thing and see it for myself. You've made such incredible wallpapers featuring it, it's got to be awesome.
