Artist Comment
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)
Edit2: Original background (minus character art) here
