[Akata Itsuki Works] 07.14.08
Each month, Megami Magazine has a section called "Girl's Avenue." In this section, a poster by an up-and-coming or popular artist is featured, along with their website and some of their other works in smaller form. A few months ago, a poster by Akata Itsuki popped up and I was just awestruck. From color to composition to the dynamic lighting, it was just gorgeous. A few of the artist's other works were featured in this month's Megami Creators which is what brought that poster to mind again. Sadly, none of the other featured works had the same "punch" that this image did. But I still look forward to following more of Akata Itsuki's works!
[To Love Ru: Lala and Haruna at the Beach] 07.09.08
Another today from To Love-Ru! This time the wallpaper features Lala and Haruna from the show, at the beach! The original scan just had a sandy background, so I made my own, with a little ocean wave addition. Recently, I've been watching a lot less anime, mostly because of time constraints. Instead, I've moved on to reading the manga, as most of the recent series in the past year or so have had a manga adaptation. But I still prefer the anime art for most things! :D
[Dragonaut - the Resonance] 06.01.08
I've literally had this wallpaper finished for forever. I don't know when it happened, but I kept thinking, "Well, no one likes Dragonaut, so why bother?" But then I realized, no one likes half the shows I wall :D But pretty pictures are pretty pictures. I've actually really noticed that older series have a greater longevity than the stuff that's aired in recent years. There are exceptions, one being Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Which reminds me, the TTGL Nia Portraits
[To Love Ru, Thanks for Everything... ] 05.22.08
Long time no anything! :D I got sidetracked with some moving, and then just demotivated to wall. But all that aside, I'm back at it. And look, wishes can come true! They're finally making a Gurren Lagann Nia Portraits collection!
Today's update has nothing to do with Gurren Lagann though, which is a shame. Instead, it's the shameless-ly fanservice oriented To Love Ru! While this wallpaper may look like it came that way, a lot of work went into giving it that anime style background, as I drew in the sheets, pillows, and completely re-Cg'ed the lovely Lala. Just check out that "come hither" stare! XD
[Soul Eating Beach Buddies!] 03.16.08
Sometimes, I'm just overwhelmed by the massive amounts of awesome images coming out each month and the small number of things I actually manage to wall :D But I wanted to be way ahead of the curve on this one, so I decided to wall this awesome Soul Eater image, that came with April's Animedia Magazine
