Whew. This was... a great change. Should I say that? Everything looks simple. But I think I really love this one.

Firstly, I must thank the Expression de Vigilance team for giving us the music theme. I really think that this round's theme was far cooler and yea, music has always inspired most of us wallers.

For my case, this wall was inspired by Jay Chou - Shan Hu Hai, which means Sea of Coral. It's a very popular song, and yesh, I'm Jay's fan! <3

In his lyric, there was a sentence that goes like this:


you turned to leave (you have something you can't say) can't even say you wanna break up

the love between a seagull and fish is just a coincidence


Okay, that was a bad translation, but it wouldn't be hard to figure what does it says. It basically means that seagull and fish can't possibly be together, and even if they do, it's just a matter of pure coincidence. It's really sad to think so, though. As if the love between 2 creature has been decided from a very long time ago. And so it makes a very good sad wall~

Seagull is vectored from here
, with it's mouth from here,
and fish from here. All vectored. Actually, it was Muz's idea to vector the outline of both of the animals. My first idea was to just vector the seagull black and the fish white. But the outline vector turned out great! ^^ Thanks, Muz!

The background was an awesome texture by Aethereality mixed with a white to black blending I did. For the water ripples, it wasn't really entirely my idea. It was Yina's Sakura Dance that gave me that idea. At first I wanted to do a coloured version, but aahh... can't seem to make the whole thing fit so I made it... this colour. *stares up*

Anyways, we lose the battle again. But it was great, everybody in TLM submitted awesome entries! ^^ We rock~

*edit: Moved the left text nearer.

    Really love the simplicity; a few lines and a few shades but the combination is really breathtaking. =) The words 'the love between' tends to stand out a bit too much i think, because the lines are a wee bit too sharp... but other than that it's just great. Kudos for making such a beautiful wallpaper!
