Tokyo Babylon – For Tomorrow

Download: 2560×1600 :: 1600×1200 :: 1280×1024 :: Blue Version Pack

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
