if you prefer the original you can still get it here.
This is part 1 of the series
Yuki plays a RPG
I changed her eyes to look like they were staring at hell x)
There is no real theme or idea in this. I sorta just added stuff as I went along. It is open for your interpretation :) I did trial and error with a lot of techniques, so it took quite a while to finish.
This is perhaps my hardest and longest wallpaper.
I actually vectored Yuki a few months ago. It was my first time doing shape vectors (all lines are traced on both sides
then filled in, as opposed to one line then stroking). With little experience, it took quite a while; by the time I was
done with hair, I couldn't take it anymore, and alot of the lines on the clothes are single width (1 stroke). It
was a mistake. Illustrator screws a lot of stuff up when you mix Live Paint and brush strokes. I had to spend a lot of
time fixing errors. I struggled through gradient fills, too. Now I've had more practice, my vectoring has gotten
better and faster, but looking back, this vector turned out nicely still.
Anyways I finished the vector and let it sit for a while until now. I found a vector of a laptop I did for a poster contest a few weeks ago, and touched it up and recolored it.
Everything else is rendered in Photoshop. This took a few hours cuz of extra time spent experimenting. The balls and lines are a combination of brush strokes and blending effects.
I'm not sure if the balls in the BG look too messy or not, so here's a version without
I realize there's some empty space around the sides of the laptop, but adding stuff didn't improve the wall, so I'm leaving it for icon space :P.
This was partly inspired by one of my other wallpapers.
