The Bishounen Invasion continues with a +anima wallpaper featuring Husky, who is such a pretty-boy that characters in the story constantly think he's a girl! (Which is an easy way to anger
him, too.) I found the image as I was flipping through the manga, and comes from chapter 17. I liked the Greco-Roman
armor (appropriately this is the chapter image for the third chapter in the Maggie Coliseum arc, just before Husky is
about to fight in the tournament) which was neatly offset by some columns.
Since Husky's +anima form is a fish, I decided to place him underwater, "At Poseidon's Gate" to continue with
the Greco-Roman influence, and designed an underwater palace for him to guard. Unfortunately I spent so much time
getting the palace to look right that it became too 3d/realistic, and now he seems out of place. Argh.
Scan vectored and recolored in Illustrator. Instead of texturizing the entire vector, I texturized portions of Husky's
armor. :P Background created entirely in Photoshop, except for the fishes, which I took out of my aquarium screensaver.
To get an underwater effect, I added layers of wave-filtered blue-green gradients between the various elements.
4 days/126mb+23mb Photoshop, 13mb Illustrator /85+6 layers Photoshop, 14 layers Illustrator (I had 2 Photoshop files;
the main file and a separate one for the wave-gradients)
Edit: For kicks, get an idea of how I work: Mockup of wallpaper layout plus original scan I
worked off from (scaled down)

Omg... a +Anima wall! XD *praises you for this alone* Huzzah for more bishiness~<3 ..and because I don't know what else to say. -_- Great wall as always, Tama. Though true he looks a bit flat compared to the rest. :) [As well as (attitude aside) Nge's Rei, with that hair..]

@_@ There should be a professional walling category for works like this !
The vector is brilliant as usual, and I think it doesn't seem out of place because of the awesome realistic bg, since
the underwater effect blends everything together so well, and also thanks to the shade and the overall great composition
:) . The scan doesn't really matches my tastes but this is a masterpiece XD !
*_* tama u rock my wallpaper heaven

Tama-Neko creates another really amazing wallie! XD Goes to show ya that the smallest details on BGs creates such wonderful rendering and effects! You must be really tired designing all that work and layers! It paid off, though! Top notch stuff, Tama-Neko! ^_^V
*neat job* really love the wall! haven seen +anima tho' but still a nice new blue wall ^-^
very nice Tama. I love how you created the bg yourself. very 3dish, but like you mentioned, it made the scan look like it's floating. that aside, I'm amazed of how you started at that cute little layout and made it to look like this. You did a wonderful job coloring the character as well. This will be the next breed of wallpapers for the coming generations, original backgrounds. lol @ the fishies
oh god i thought that was a girl at first!! haha anyways, the wall is really nice. especially great job on making that uinderwater effect.
Fishies! XD!
Love the marble floors and stairs. They look really nice, as do the pilars. Excellent vectoring as usual. All around great wall ^_^ V
