I finished the Durarara!! wallpaper from the last entry. You can find it at my site, kakyoku.org.
I’m killing myself with wallpaper projects. I go for days to months without doing a single one and then I’m all of a sudden vexeling over 6 images. LOL I have two more wallpaper in progress. These wallpapers are retro style and one of them is for a valentines day contest that I don’t plan to win but just felt like joining. LOL
This is the Red Garden wallpaper. I thought it was about time I make a graphic for this series since we cosplayed as them. Thing ism I didn’t feel like redrawing the original image so I just cleaned it up. The background has a little more work to do, such as working more on the buildings. I think it is heading in the right direction though.
This is the contest wallpaper featuring Yuuri and Wolfrma from Kyou Kara Maou. I don’t know why Yuuri keeps denying how he doesn’t like boys, he sure looks like he does in this image. XD Anyway, another retro look with pastel colors. I did redraw them this time because the image quality was really bad, Wolfram’s hair was a pain in the butt. This is what I have so far but I might not change more more to it because I submit. xD
So that makes… 5 wallpapers that I’m still working on. I’m just crazy!

I have been working on a number of wallpapers offline. I’m making some good progress on two of the harder ones. I have more than this but they are no where near complete, such as a Macross Frontier wallpaper and a Red Garden wallpaper. XD
This is my Oofuri wallpaper. I plan to paint this wallpaper so it still has a lot of work to go. I like the way the mound turned out so I hope the rest of the background can turn out well. I’m the most afraid of digitaly painting Mihashi. This will be the first time I digital paint a wallpaper so I’m going to take my sweet time. It will be a lot of trail and error I’m sure. Doing the vexel of this wallpaper made me want to cry. Mihashi was very blurry in some parts, especially his shoes and gloves. I had to wing it and recreate what I could. I was told they look pretty good but I’m hoping they look even better when painted.
This is my Durarara!! wallpaper. I really wanted to make one of Izaya for some reason. I guess I decided he was my favorite character. This wallpaper won’t be as challenging as the Oofuri one but it did take some of my own skills. The image I used was cut off on the right so I had to make up a lot of it on my own. I liked the weird way the shadows and lines were done so I tried my best to copy it. This wallpaper might be near done but I’m going to play with it a little more. I might even have two version of this one in case some people like the simple look.
I’m really working hard on improving my wallpaper skills. Wish me luck!
