Artist Comment
Last of my W?W - Commercial Sellout entries.
As you can see this wall has a lot of empty space. That's because I designed it to go with the large Reebok logo and
slogan, and I like asymmetry and empty space so I don't feel any great need to go in and do a lot more redesigning on it
to fill up the space where the logo was.
This wall was completely random. My only plan when I was working out what to do was that it would be my first wall that
was completely vectored in any detail. [Obviously I didn't end up sticking to that...] I chose the first scan that
seemed to go with one the advertising slogans on my list, which was this scan from the Japanese Comickers 2 artbook on
aethereality.net
Link.
Turning a painting into an anime style vector was extremely time-consuming but very addictive. I was trying out big
chunky lines and was very happy with them but that detail was lost when I shrunk the vector down to fit in the wall. I
was keeping to 'complete vector' very well until the end when I had to put in the cliff in the background. I was too
tired to make up an entire cliff out of me head by vectoring it, so I freehanded with my tablet and then couldn't resist
adding some gradients...
I changed it from 1600x1200 to widescreen because the busy detail on one side is somewhat balanced by having a LARGE are
of empty space. Also because there is so much detail on the girls that it feels wrong to have anything distracting
elsewhere on the wall.

You'll need to full-view this wallpaper to get the complete effect. Fabulous attention to detail and a wonderful choice
of colors paired with a simple background make this some real eye-candy. Excellent job, Piccolobear!

the only one of yours that I guessed right...
WOW... you're crazy to vector it from that! the details.. *-* how long did it take you? And I'm glad you made it with a
true vector and not succumb to brushes and gradients.
I like the empty space, gives room for icons ^__^ and did you paint those clouds in the background? 'cause I don't
remember them being there before.

Beautiful color scheme...it's very soothing, and easy on the eyes. This is definitely a high-quality wallpaper,
and--look!--room for my icons! :) Nice job.

Very nicely done! I like the blend of colors. ^^ Keep it up!

I love the details in the rocks, very well done. The simple background does a great job of setting off the characters
rather than overwhelming them and leaves space for icons. Great wall and congrats on the highlight. :)
