Minitokyo needed an injection of colour. The walls these days need more oomph ? and it's a semi-scenic wall!
XD
I started this at the end of last year, and now it's like, mid-June? Ahahaha. I've shown so many people this
and asked so many people for advice, thank you.
And a dedication for Tina18 ? Happy birthday!
I had an inspiration hit sometime last year, and I thought I'd combine mario kart with reborn! The scan was
perfect, because the new mario kart games have everyone on bikes now, so I went ahead and vectored it. The bike was the
hardest thing ever, I swear. But once I had finished outlining it, the rest was pretty easy. Tsuna is garbed in a
trade-mark Aqi colour scheme with pattern and gradient abuse xD.
I know only tsuna is outlined, but it looked awkward outlining the lumas and the roads, so I didn't.
Now the background was a huge obstacle. I had vectored the two rainbow roads in the foreground and then I was stumped
XD. Then I thought I'd just throw in a few Lumas (the star things) but it still looked plain. I made the galaxy
old-school-style, which I'm quite proud of. Everything looks a little flat though, and I couldn't work out how
to create more depth :/ I'm a bit worried the realisticness is weird with all the cartoon elements, but mario
galaxy was like that, and it worked for them xD.
And I haven't used these sparkle brushes in a wall for years!
I wanted to make a planet, but was stuck for what to put on it. And what better way to watermark a wallpaper than making
a planet with your username? Teehee :D. It was pretty fun.
I then nagged plenty of oneesans (and an imouto-chan) for advice: asa, nysha, fran, kuryuki, yamibou-eve, tina and they
gave me some really good advice, so thank you 8).
Yay, it's done! It looks quite exciting on my desktop (albeit little icon room, but it's widescreen so
it's all good), so I hope you guys enjoy it! Comments, faves, crit are all appreciated in advance ?
This will be my last wall for a while... Expect a new wall in October! :D And it will be massively awesome. Oh
