My wall entry in round 1 of W.A.R. 2006
(Looking forward to round 2 :D )

Presenting the manga series Akuma de Soro (The Devil Does Exist) by Takanashi Mitsuba
I finished rereading the manga right when round 1 began so I went flipping through again to find the right image to introduce this "unknown" series

The wall is based on this black and white manga scan

I took a break after tracing the outlines to think about how to create a funky rock look...the only thing I knew was that I wanted to use song lyrics but didn't have a clue which song or how to use it...
Finally the idea of using records hit me on the head...and I found myself humming JET's Are You Gonna Be My Girl... and it all came together

    Nice vectoring, and the disks of text are a nice touch.

    Didn't read the manga, but I watched the Taiwanese drama (when I should have been studying for exams ^_^' )

    Very stylish. Nice vectoring and abstract work. Cool idea using the old fashioned record discs. ^^ Nice work. Looks very good.

    PS - a higher JPEG quality will have done better with your fine texts. ^^
