Very interesting way she blends into the background like that. It's kinda surreal. Dark and moody. Nice stuff.

Ah, finally finished this work! I've been re-reading Tokyo Crazy Paradise and saving a lot of images, either for
avatars, vectors or wallpapers. I love this manga, it's one of my favorite ones; sadly, it's really
underrated, which is too bad because it's AWESOME. You should go read it if you like action and comedy
manga.
The whole process took about 4-5 hours, but I really enjoyed making it. The chapter covers of KurePara look awesome and I loved the art, so I have many images ^_^ I wrote a bit about how I made it in the walkthrough; since this image had a serious tone to it, I thought about designing a battlefield, but it turned out to be too complicated and I stuck with using a photo of clouds (which I took myself) and some mist (although it isn't too visible).
Short synopsis of the series below:
This particular
image features Tsukasa, a girl who is raised as a boy because of the huge number of crimes against women in a modern
Tokyo. Her parents (cops) die, so she and her brothers are left with no money; therefore, she has to work as the
bodyguard of the Yakuza's leader.
Spoiler (show)
Hence the title, that she'd do virtually anything for the guy ._.
The wall was inspired from the song No. 1 Crush (Gothic Remix) by Garbage, which is awesome. I thought it fit the theme of the manga (at least the theme it has towards the end, where it gets very serious), and I had this song illustration in mind for a while. You can find the lyrics here.
Um, I guess I'll end it here, since this description is already long >_> I appreciate criticism and all, but please state stuff you like as well, not only stuff you don't; I've noticed some do this, and it's not too pleasant to read (even though they mean good) ._. Thank you in advance for criticism and/or favorites~!

You know, this wall is such a Garbage wall. Fits the theme of the song and band perfectly. Especially the color scheme. I always see grays and subdued colors when I listen to Garbage. <3
Leave it to Pande to take a photo of clouds for her wallpaper. You're such a cloud fiend. The bg looks awesome! And it's 100 times more charming with a photograph taken by you.
The fog effect looks awesome. ;__;
fog + gray color scheme = perfect combo
Great job, Pande. It's a winner <3
