Love the way you made this wall. Very creative. Nice article as well. I'mm adding this to my favs and you're not stopping me. XP
I've seen Nat's wallpaper, and I have to say they're both good.

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.

Very original. Usually, what you see are sexy girls posing with fancy backgrounds but this is unique.

Wow that was sooooo good! I can't believe you wrote all that! I would never be able to, probably fall asleep in the middle... I was reading some of the earlier reviews and some people said it was a wall. When I first saw it, I kind of thought it was a table... I'd just like to know which one it was. =)

haha god damn, that's pretty rad. i really like the feel of the paper itself. the metal locket, however, looks quite unrealistic.. but i guess i can overlook that :p
