The Kenshin wall really put me in nostalgia mode, so I decided to make something that featured another one of my first manga crushes, Subaru Sumeragi. Subaru’s still woefully underwalled, plus I’ve been wanting to experiment with big typography for a while now. So I doodled this up over the weekend – a bit of retro plus abstract went a long way.
Subaru extracted and re-CG’d from this scan; color scheme inspired by Gideon’s stunning palette in our Zetsubou-Sensei collaboration wall. Font used is League Gothic from the brilliant League of Moveable Type. I also borrowed a line from My Chemical Romance – SING for the fontage… possibly one of my favorite songs of all time.

the only problem I have with this wall is that it took so loong
as you said yourself the older scan really works well with the minimalistic background, but dammit my recycle bin is in the way of the signature!!!
Nostalgia FTW! :3 For some reason this made me think of 007 – “Bond, James Bond.”
Aww thanks betty! Unfortunately work is eating up a lot of my time and desire to wall these days, but hopefully I can still pump out something once in a while. And thanks Jay! The old school inspiration from your Kenshin wall is going a long way haha >xD
First anime related wall on my desktop in months. |D Loving the design scheme you have going with this.
Thanks Gids! I was ogling/using quite a few of your old walls in the last couple of months, so you know, inspiration flows…
