Lately I’ve been feeling like something’s dying inside me… >_>

nell’illusione ho creduto alla mia forza inesorabile
e inevitabilmente sono diventata debole

translation

…
Why is “originality” so overrated? What does originality really mean in anime walls? If you’re working off an inspiration from another person’s original idea, is it really that hard to take a min to credit the real original person for your inspiration?

*corks ebil flyin’ (>D) up* She’s been going on an ass-kicking rampage… normal flyin’ isn’t usually prone to rants >(
Well, actually normal flyin’ has been kinda angry and easily annoyed lately as well, so this wall was a good way to exorcise some inner demons. This is the first wall in a while that I didn’t completely hate while I was making it, which was nice. I love using design walls and am trying to make some now… they look ok, but I think right now I have a weak spot for scenics still. There’s nothing quite like a good scenic for creating a sense of open space, so that’s what I really tried to go for in this wall

Vectored off this manga page; clouds from http://www.mayang.com/textures/. Background inspired by this wonderful Tama wall…

Mmmm, thanks crap tates fuku Shinn nageni for subjecting themselves recently to flyin’s singing >D, and also for sharing lots of terrific songs with me and spoiling me silly x3. Stylish Gideon is another victim… *wubs* And another note to ebil fuku for the song request (you still owe me one btw >D) and also, Shinn has a sexy Trent Reznor voice when he sings, it’s so awesome >D Thanks Shinn for being patient with my whims and taking the time to correct my crappy Italian >D

P.S. Tama’s and Gid’s descriptions… makes me want to print parts of them out and frame them *_*
