The Place Promised in Our Early Days Wallpaper: Beyond the Clouds: Dreams of the Universe

Makoto Shinkai, The Place Promised in Our Early Days Wallpaper

1920x1200 Wallpaper

Artist Comment

After a week's worth of vacation (and a week's worth of catching up) I'm back with new wallpapers! One of the things I bought on vacation was the Kumo no Mukou soundtrack (gotta love used Japanese bookstores and their awesome prices!) On the CD itself was a silhouette of the Velaciela and the Ezo Tower. I had taken screencaps of the scene where Sayuri is watching the other towers in her dream, intending to wall it, and decided to add the Velaciela element to it. Although it was at first much more detailed, I found I rather liked it better when I reduced it to pure silhouettes, so that your eye is naturally drawn to the tower and Velaciela, just as Sayuri's is in this scene of the movie. The frame is there to separate Sayuri from the other twisted towers because in the film she is trapped in her own tower, and can only gaze at them from a distance. It's this shade of blue because Shinkai seems especially fond of it in his works. As for the title, Sayuri describes the twisted towers as the "dreams of the universe".

    Beyond the Clouds ^_^ The movie was really nice. It was especially famous for its beautiful illustrations, and your wall certainly does the movie justice. I love the whole distance look with the endless row of towers, and the title is really nice ^_^ But whatever you might say, I think it's a little too plain. That's just my opinion though. A nice wall nevertheless. Thanks for sharing ^_^

    Cool wallpaper tama. This sure is going to cool everyone off this summer. ^^
    It's so simple, but looks great (as all your walls always do). I like the gradient-type effect and the use of blue tones. Looks great!

    Very nice. I like the color gradient, and blue was obviously the perfect color. The silhouetted spires/towers look really good, as does Sayuri.
