Artist Comment
...I knew him, Horatio.
Actually I started this wall to recover from a failed vector, after a while I noticed how pretty the whole thing had
gotten and totally obsessed over it. ^_^'
The original scan is from Kendi Oiwa's
manga Goth based on a novel by Otsuichi. It's about two students who are interested in death and murder. I scanned
it myself and then started to vector trace.
The background for this wallie went through so many stages it was really beginning to annoy me. When I started I had
something like this in mind,
but I really thought it looked weird with masks in the background, even after changing that theme several times. After a
while I got really fed up and decided to settle on the cheapest solution, curtains. I shall refer to this as the
XXX-Holic-Syndrome from now on, if you can't think of anything better, you use curtains. x_x Of course the new
chair and curtains are vectored from XXX-holic artwork (chair here, curtains here).
In the end I think I'm quite happy with the outcome even if it turned out totally different from what I imagined
in the beginning.
Texture's for the background and curtains are from Bashcorpo and Dioma@Deviantart, patterns were taken from Hybrid Genesis.

This is really something. The dark and macabre atmosphere has been perfectly executed. The details of the skull is just... wow. This is a magnificent creepy wallpaper. Great job. ^^

Simply love it. Like Kitten said, few artists can achieve such a dark atmosphere if given only the elements you used. Aside from the idea, the vectoring is superb and I think the softness is a strong point of this wallpaper. And as for the background, it's a good thing you kept it simple, it draws attention to the detailed skull more :)
And yes, I agree with the curtain bit. I used to do that quite often ^_^' +fave for sheer awesomeness.

^_^' I wanted to add you to my watchlist for a while, but I see there's no need since I instinctively click on your wallpapers...
Where to start spreading the love... oh yeah! I love the way you made the vector look... shiny... the lines aren't completely sharp, they're glowing, great effect!
The guy is really good looking... I'll search for this manga, I need to read some goth goodness.
Great job on the skull, it's so detailed and realistic <3
Thanks a lot for the multiple resolutions /(^3^)/ *sets wallie as desktop*merged: 06-15-2008 ~ 03:38am
The version with the masks is also very well done!
You should put it as another version, it's an interesting idea. -

The wallpaper is definitely very creepy, but not as creepy as the original scan.
Great work and thank you for the 1600x1200 size! -
