Kan'u Unchou

Artist Comment

So uh... I don't really know what to say for this wallpaper.

I started the vector of Kan'u around the time the first episode of Dragon Destiny aired. I believe it to be around the end of February of 2007. So based on that information this wall was approximately 10 months in the making.

Vector is of a bunch of screencaps of the ending of the series, note: this is before the scans came out.

Initial idea was something like her underwater with bubbles and ribbons and stuff on top / next to her. Think wavy. Well after a while I found out that the initial idea was too complicated to go through with. IE: w00tazn is a lazy mofo. So I went with something simpler aka ripping off cola cola.

The vector and the base of the wall were done in march after that it's basically hiatus and me showing people the WIP saying how lazy/wallers blocked I was. So today I'm inspired to finally finish this crappy wall after watching the documentary "Helvetica". Essentially I redid a bunch of crap and then ended up going with this Magazine Advert theme, then I found some effect that made it look rusted/old and went with the grunge theme after that. Kinda reminds me of Need For Speed: Pro Street.

Oh well enough story, heres some stats:
74 layer Adobe Illustrator file
22 layer Adobe Photoshop file
7,304 hours of work

Thanks to peoples: brom, cy, lima, tama, gid, raven, bern, and a bunch more peeps.

I was so happy to see that you were doing a wall of Kan'u. Though, I did not like Ikkitousen very much and I haven't even bothered with Dragon Destiny, I've always been fond of her. Considering you did all of what you did simply off of a screenshot @__@ That's absolutely outstanding. Even if you got lazy, you still have constructed probably one of the best Ikkitousen walls out there. The improvements you've made since your WIP are amazing. I love the changes to the background and the additional splatter effects are a nice touch as well. Heck, I even love the text and I normally despise text!

This is one seriously top-notch wallpaper, hands down. I'm really glad that you were able to finish this beautiful piece of work. It's definitely a favorite for me. Glad to see that you haven't lost it at all, nay, looks like you've gotten even better. This is a favorite for me.

...<_< The cake is a lie? NO!

Yes, you get the same comment as I said on AP! This wall needs comments!

As a Kan-U lover I must say that is a great vector you made.
The fact that it's made from scratch only increases it's coolness.
Awesome job dood!

That is a lot of layers and hours you put into this wallpaper but all paid off in my opinion because it looks great.
