This wallpaper is for the Fye-Fans wallpaper contest!
heheh, well this wallpaper took me 3 days to complete. I can't believe I worked so hard on it! About 10 hours a day
for 3 days...so about 30 hours of work. Yep, everything in it has been vectored! Probably my best vector yet. The
original scan had so much text on it, I had no choice but to vector it (well, i could have edited it a little but I
didnt feel like it...it also takes much more work anyways). I really loved the original scan because Fye looked so nice
in it. But he had his head on someone's (err is his name Ashura-ou or something?) lap so i had to make him put his
head on the wall. (i know, i know, it doesnt really look like it, but im in a rush here). I had to finish this wall so
fast because Im leaving for japan the day after tomorrow and Im going to be out almost all day tomorrow so I have
absolutley no time to do anything on the computer. and im supposed to be in bed by now cuz i have to get up reaaaally
early tmrw...so please excuse these spelling mistakes. :sweat:
ehem. well, about the wallpaper - if you look closely at fye's cape (robe, watever) you can see that there are
stars on it! It kind of looks like a night sky, you know. I did that because it looked boring before. The ice columns
were so incredibly hard to vector. and the icicles....well, they were a last minute add-on so they are vectored very
sloppily. I added snow outside because there wouldnt be ice if it wasnt cold right? and if it was cold, then there would
be snow (usually). I did the mist because I was too lazy to do the entire wall of ice which would probably take me 3
more days to do anyways. I think the ice things sticking up around Fye are a nice touch. They bring a little color in.
I suppose the robe was pretty hard to do though, because I had to keep using the gradient because it gradually changed
colors. I didnt outline Fye's hair because it looked better that way. So dont tell me it would look better
outlined, because I wont change it. :hmpf:
I also changed his eye color from a dark green to a more blue color...geez i put so much work into this wall, but i cant
think of much to say b/c im rushing! ahhh! I hate being rushed. The snow in the bg and the moon havent been vectored
(and the mist) because i thought it would look nice if i added some unvectored brush work into the wall instead of
making everything look unnaturally vectored.
ermm...okay, well i gotta go! enjoy the wall! I'll probably update this later sometime.
