Yusuke Nakamura is one of my favorite artists, ever. So in a way I never thought I’d end up walling something of his, because his artwork is just – perfect. What is there for me to add? But after I saw the first round theme for the MT K.O. Competition and stared at this gorgeous Yusuke Nakamura scan sitting pretty on my AP scan wishlist, I sighed and proceeded to wall it. It was the perfect scan for this round, not just because I adore the original artwork so, but also because I love to read x]

The original scan from Nat was so clean that I basically vectored straight over the scan, with very minor CGing here and there The right side of the wall turned out to be a bitch because I freehand-vectored all the extensions from scratch… whatever that means. AKA I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to make sure my vectoring matched with the original artwork, and my clouds and rocks don’t look like ass >_> But at the end of the day, if you looked at this wall and thought that this was one huge scan, or something along those lines, then I accomplished what I set out to do. Because Yusuke Nakamura is love <3

I actually spent quite a bit of time on the skyscape because I wanted to make sure the cropped 1600 and 1280 versions don’t look like crap, and I ended up tweaking some of the clouds a bit more so all three versions are actually all slightly different ;D

P.S. To the judge who suggested blurring the vector bits – THANKS. Awesome suggest which I carried out in this final version – wished I thought of it earlier! xD;
