Artist Comment

As a wise person once said..."We all wears masks" but sometimes i wonder why we we wear it, either to conceil our internal characteristics or just to become someone else cos we hate being ourselves. I have always hidden behind masks, always kind of a superior being in my mind to all those people whom i love and loathe everyday and yet that doesnt give me any satisfaction because it just bites back, especially when you look in a mirror...but i guess i hate myelf for being like other people but at the same time becoming the person i really hate! Someday when the right time comes, someone would really remove that damn mask from my face and i will see the light once more...

But in a less depressing note, this scan was provided by J-bomb from MT and yes this is the same artist [Yoshitoshe Abe] who made Haibane Renmei and Serial Experimants Lain. There are franticly 3 sets of bg here which make up part of the alleyway scene (covered in black), Grafitti scene (Left) and Building scene (overlayed on the alleyway); Then i kinda outlined parts of the girl image taken from the upcoming video of TEXHNOLYZE, put a lot of noise on those 3 sets of bgs, Overlayed brushes, duplication layers, hardlight and difference blend whacked all into there. How i love the way the text is so simple and kinda gives you both a gloomy, depressive touch like what im feeling now...and a lil of calmness in this but yeah kinda have to live with it.

All in all its less than 110 layers and 10 hours of clean slate work.

Hope you like! ^ ^

    ah glorious!! i was in need of a good texhnolyze wall, man was that one messed up show though. just remembering the end to that show makes me feel uneasy.....

    Although it looks quite a lot like the matrix, it still has enough style of its own to be unique.
    Especially the somewhat dirty look adds to the atmosphere.
    Great work as usual, Oracle. :)

    It brings me almost indescribable joy to see more good wallpapers for Texhnolyze wallpapers, and of Rin, on top of that.

    Great idea - to combine the streets of a big city with that particular theme.

    Great wallpaper. I'm a huge fan of ABe's works and this one does it justice. Thanks for sharing.
