I love the flourish and swirls in this, how you've managed to match different elements together and make it look like a classical illustration. If you hadn't mentioned it I would never have recognised the individual elements. And strangely (but as a personal opinion) I can't get over the artistic look to where the colour ends and sweeps so naturally onto the parchament background. Silly, aren't I...

I totally didn't think Romeo x Juliet looked like my type of anime at first, but then I watched the first couple episodes and got completely hooked. Now it's one of my favorite recent series after Nodame Cantabile :D So yar, had to stop work on a Nodame wall to make this <3 I wanted to make the wall look like an old but well-loved illustration... not sure how well that came out, but that's my justification for some lazy elements in the wall haha xD;; Getting the colors right was tough, but making the thick outlines was a lot of fun. Usually I'm obsessed with tiny outlines so this was definitely a nice change.
Romeo and Juliet outlines vectored from this scan, then painted in PS with hard round brush + mouse. Acorn leaves stolen from this scan that I grabbed off of saikusa's photobucket account in the pre-monochrome scans days on MT. Textures from stock.XCHNG.

And as always additional res can be found @ pixel ellipsis x]
Edit: Seems like people either really like the fade-out or really dislike it. Since it looks like the latter outnumbers the former I've extended Juliet's skirt out a bit more to improve the flow, but made Romeo's coat only a leetle longer as compromise. It'd be way too long if I extended it out all the way xD;; Much thanks to everyone who commented and critiqued :]

WOW that is so pretty! It reminds me of an antique paper with a colored image stamped on top. I don't know how to describe it tbh. It is really really pretty!

classical indeed, lovely colors, they surely give a interesting old feeling to it, I'm not saying to much abouth the floral designs, but gotta admit it suits really good the whole wall, maybe I dont know if the windy edge on their clothes it's that great, at least it would be better for me without it, but it's not a detail that it's damaging or something the image, maybe I'll just end up liking it.

I love the outlines and the colouring! Truly an amazing job!
On the right side her dress 'fades' a little different than on the left side of the wall though...
Love the colours! The red and the blue is simply amazing... <3 ^^
Keep up the good work!

waaah pretty! I love RxJ, and I love that scan. The acorn leaf border works nicely with the vintage-ish look and colour :)
I'm not sure if it's just me, but Juliet's eye looks a bit too slanted, and the left side of the V looks too long =S also, there are some uncoloured spots on her left sleeve and where the dress and sword meet. but I'm just nitpicking. Oh yeah, I'd like to see the shading on Juliet's dress a bit darker too, it's barely visible on my screen...
