Again, happy (late) birthday crap!

The more I looked at the original birthday wall I made for crap the more I felt like it got shafted because of my move o__o So I killed the mushrooms (although they linger on as a devART scrap if you’re inclined to take a look) and made this one, which is actually another doodle-at-work wall xD;; It’s probably slightly less personal than the original, but… I REALLY love this wall o_o I got to paint trees from scratch, play with lighting (which I’ve always wanted to try but never did), and botch the text… still, I think it’s one of the most simple yet atmospheric walls that I’ve ever made. So yay! Loves for it, and to crap XD

Eureka and Anemone extracted from this scan (yes I wanted to see if I can still extract *coughs*); brown paper texture from devART; translated lyrics from Kozue Takada’s “Himitsu Kichi” (Eureka Seven’s first ED); and because Eureka Seven has such cool episode names I just snitched one for the title XD The rest is from scratch… Photoshop CS2 + mouse <3

Lastly huge thanks to tat0rs for tossing me the green reflecting trees idea when I got stuck, which worked like a charm <3

P.S. I forgot! *smacks head* Concept inspired by Taztooed’s deviation “Colorblind,” so this is also an entry for the Inspiration Project at Simple-ism
