Artist Comment

Haven't been in much of a walling mood lately, but this helped to lift me out of that. There were two inspirations for this wall: 1) There are so few Twin Spica wallpapers available (due to its relative obscurity and lack of good scans) and 2) Achieving simplicity in a wall is quite a challenge.
For the former, the image comes from a screencap of episode 16, which is a sketch of Asumi and Lion-san running happily. I did my best to retain its sketchiness, which meant instead of using Illustrator I used Photoshop exclusively (god I hate you Photoshop and your stupid pen tool!) so I could use various brushes to stroke the paths and create a pencil-like outline. The colors were painted with the brush tool and paint bucket based on several scenes of Asumi and Lion-san.
For the latter, it can be equally (or more) difficult to achieve simplicity in a wallpaper; my prof said something to this effect today, how it was easy to ramble for pages and pages in a paper, but to write concisely was an art. This can be applied to graphics as well. The balance must be such that the wall is clean and simple yet not boring or overly cheap.
I hope I've achieved this goal in this image. Since the original was a child's sketch, I kept to that idea. The background texture comes off a scrapbooking paper I scanned in; I bought two pads of parchment-design papers and will be scanning more in the future for usage in walls. I chose this particular design because it incorporated stars into its rough texture, which fit entirely with Asumi's dream of being an astronaut.
EDIT: Additonal resolutions are now available.
