I was inspired after seeing this over at devART,
called "Out of Bounds" type of photo manipulation. It looks so cool
that I wanted to try it myself (btw, I used this
tutorial as a guide) 
So I went through my files for the perfect picture, and I came upon this one: Lain_on_stairs by minebann , and you know, after working on it, the idea really fits the series ^__^
I think this is the first wallpaper where I didn't vector anything... though I did use the pen tool to extract...
Some hue adjustments to make it more sepia-toned, changed her arm to make pose more suitable, lots of masking here and there. Listened to "Duvet" by BoA (Lain's opening theme btw) while working on this (I'm kinda addicted to the song...).
For inspiration project at Simple-ism.
Btw, do you think it'd look better without the text? I kinda hesitated to put it in, but seems to need something in that corner to balance things out...
Oh, and sorry about those circular gradient lines in the background... JPG hates gradients apparently...
[Edit] Changed colour of frame, softened scan slightly, removed text. Also,
removed gradient, as those lines were really annoying!

[Edit (again)] Replaced gradient, added texture to background.

O_O Ohh how pretty <3! I love it that it's simply so simple
It's
not always necessary for a wall to have many many things in it to make it look
nice, since sometimes it make it look crowded so this is very prettty just
because of it's simpility. Though the scan is little bit low in the quality....
O_o or is it because of texture...?
Interesting concept! Even though I *do* think that it could do better without the text... but then again, that's just me, the final outcome is for you to decide.
Keep up the good work MapleRose-senpai! *bows*
i like the simple look of your wall and how the colours seem to balance out well
the title suits well and even though there were gradient lines, they still
helped add character to your wall 
overall
i like the atmosphere radiating from your wall and overall nice wall ^^
The concept is great, but there's a bit of a blending problem... because Lain is drawn in a painty style, the stark background makes her stick out in an odd way. Texture over the entire thing might help... or vectoring xD
This may have been simple, but I really thought it was wonderful how the focus is on the picture only. A nice concept though I thought it might have looked awkward because there wasn't a text so the newer one you made looked better. A definate fave.
So cool!
Thanks for sharing this!

This is such a rockin' concept that's just so awesomely amazing and *breathes deeply* Yeah. I'm a sucker for concept walls.
