First of all, happy new year Jay! Here is my super belated ILD Secret Santa wall, sorry for the delay! Obviously Christmas is long past so it’s a good thing this wall isn’t Christmas themed xD; I went for simplicity, music, and slice of life. Really hope you like!

The Tatami Galaxy is a terrific show – I’m about a third of the way through and really enjoyed it so far. The story is really interesting despite its repetitive nature, which is an amazing feat in itself. Also Akashi is a great heroine, which always helps sell the show! So when I saw this scan of Akashi with headphones I couldn’t resist mashing it up with this lovely scan. I’ve always loved the paneling effect so it was fun working that into this wall. Getting all of the elements to come together took quite a bit of time – the flower outlines and curtain stripes were especially painful – but I really wanted to make a nice wall for Jay and this series, so hopefully the effort was worth it :)

Used a grunge texture that crap gifted me ages back, a texture from Stock.XCHNG, as well as screentones from crazykira-resources.

    This is really pretty and neat, I love it ;___; The curtain give a nice effect. I think the empty space below the curtain looks a bit empty but maybe that’s just me.
    On the other hand, I need to check this show, I really like the artwork *_____*

    Yeash, you should definitely check out the show! It’s got a “high barrier of entry” in that the first episode is completely artsy, hyper, and weird and the protagonist is talking so fast that it’s almost impossible to catch all the subs on the first go. But then I watched the next episodes and found order emerging from the chaos! It’s a really interesting/unusual series for sure, and it’s very hard not to fall in love with any artwork that Yusuke Nakamura had touched :D
