First - Sorry abul! I flipped it back around again... 
My collab with abul-kun for w?waller round 4.
We started this about halfway through w?w and we both were really busy with
other projects, and I had a lot going on IRL as well, so it never really got
finished. It's still not, really, but I'm too frustrated with it to keep trying.
Abul chose the scans -
LAIN submitted by Serger
&
ALICE submitted by Minebann
- and we vectored/painted one each. Abul did Alice, I did Lain.
To try and disguise our styles a bit I did another layer over them with the cutout filter applied and then played with the opacities a bit.
We decided to do a semi-abstract kind of bg and started brainstorming ideas and
I came up with this little
MOCKUP
inspired by the guardrail in the Lain scan.
We liked it and so I set about changing it into the final version. The telephone poles I vectored from a photo I found on google, the same with the crows and most of the grasses and weeds.
I painted the sky and then grunged it up a bit with the poster filter and a grid brush. The painting in the bg of the cityscape I did in art-rage. [Which is SO fun to use ^_^] It's supposed to look a bit like painted plastic cut out and pasted on the pic. The whole thing is supposed to have a collage-y feel to it. ^_^
The BG paper effect I made by cutting out various paper two paper effects from other images and then even-ing them out so they matched on all 4 sides and could be used as a repeating pattern.
Heres the original w?w version -
which is flipped and sans the trees and extra grass.
p.s. About the telephone poles, in case anyone thinks they're too short, there's
a steep bank just behind the guard rail.

+fav from me ^^
hmmm.....love the collab. the background's perspective look really good! love the details along side the road and the bg effects. nice work guys. the paint job look good!
Seriously I love the concept of your background and the abstractness. Your and Abuls vectors of the girls look perfect and I think the composition is great as well. I just can't warm up to some of the textures and the scratched look on some parts otherwise I would be in love with this wallie
.
Lol, I thought the characters were vexelled. >__<
I love the abstract-like scenery, but I prefer the perspective in the mock up one. I like how you've combined different styles in one wallpaper, it's really original. =)
Great work! o__O
Your wallpaper made in collaboration with your friend is amazing!
Aaah~ So many memories, Lain seems so far away, really another generation of anime that I miss sometimes
