I'm not quite sure what the original motivation behind this wallpaper was, because the idea came when I was still
working on my Spiral wallpaper, but I
thoroughly smashed it because I knew that if I began it, I would never finish the Spiral one. Well, I finished the
Spiral one so I threw out this one.
I based the newspaper layout, especially the typeset, on the front page of the LA Times, since that's what I read
most often, and it's readily accessible. The scan comes from Kino. I wrote up the copy myself (hence the byline,
Tamane Cole, which you can pronounce the same way as "Tama-Neko" - I also had fun giving Kino (Kee Noh) credit
as the photographer from the Associated Press :))
Some minor texturing on the paper to give it an aged, newsprint look. Wood panelling come from Stock Exchange, plus some filtering to soften it a bit.
Watch was built based on several screenshots from the first opening and throughout the show. This also allowed me to use
the chimera as a logo for the paper itself.
I went through about 4 ideas for the newspaper's location. Originally it was going to be to Winry, as if Ed had
torn out the article and sent it to her, and I was going to put some screwdrivers and wrenches on the table to indicate
it was at her place. Then I thought it could go the other way around, with Winry forwarding the piece to Ed with a note,
and a silver pocketwatch to indicate it was at Ed's place. Then I didn't want to draw screwdrivers, nuts and
bolts, or a silver watch, so I wrote a note from Risa to Roy reprimanding him for his actions, and was going to draw in
Roy's spark gloves. But spark gloves were too difficult to draw, too. Also, the notes were starting to look rather
petty. So I gave in and redrew the watch, so whether it's on Roy's desk or Ed's is up to you.
Okay, I think that's the longest description I've written for a wall yet. I bet most of you won't even
read it.
Oh well.
If you're really curious, here is full text of the "press release"
since some of it is trimmed off by the angle of the paper. This isn't exactly the text in the wall, since I did
some final editing in Photoshop to adjust for the column spacing, but that's the original copy.
EDIT:
Dude, stop faving this wallpaper -_- Nat's
wallpaper is way more creative, unique, and well executed than this thing. Her wall deserves way more attention than what it's been getting
and way more favs this this wall.

Kudos for all the effort of writing an article to go in your wall. That's a neat touch that you can most definately call all your own. Nice effort on the watch, it is very similar to what's seen on the show (not quite, but real close), though I'd like to see a chain attached to it. It'd give it a little more authenticity. Awesome job on the texturing of the newspaper and the text of the newspaper name. That looks great. I would recommend adding some wrinkles or "crumples" to the article. That's a really sturdy piece of paper otherwise to have not got beatten up. ;) Really cool idea, and I did read the whole description of the wall and what went on "behind the scenes." Great idea, glad to see it made it to fruition.

This is an absolutely splendid wallpaper! I love how realistic the newspaper looks-- brilliant job with the article. I'd be interested it read it in its entirety.
The image that was used for it was a perfect action shot and I love the way the newspaper is laid out.The table and watch are nice additions and the entire image is well balanced and beautiful. Simply amazing work!
