The original drawing for this wallpaper had a very rough look, with lines that looked like they were drawn on a textured pastel board. And while I didn't copy the lines exactly--I wanted a smoother look for the wallpaper--I did keep it a little rough ;D So everything was vectored and colored, and I added textures to different parts of the background, so it wouldn't be completely uniform. I also emulated a lightly painted look for the blue sky part of the background. While true to the original, it's definitely not the same.

There are a lot of really uniquely drawn versions of Yoko in the portrait collection, but this one by far is the most colorful and all about wild. I re-colored the scan and extended the image vertically this time by drawing additional bits, for those of you out there on 4:3 resolutions. It was time consuming, but you can't beat Yoko in nurse's costume... Or can you? XD

After perusing the Yoko Portraits art book, I decided to start out walling this one. Because I scanned it, I had to fix the shadow and blur from the book binding in the middle, and then re-colored the whole image for the crisp look you see. And for those of you using widescreen, I added an additional 300px to the drawing so I wouldn't have to crop any of Yoko. It looks pretty convincing :D

I need to catch up with more new shows, especially awesome ones like Gurren Lagann. I traced the majority of the elements of this wallpaper from screen shots and just combined it all to go together. The sketch-like cartoon motion lines were an original touch from me, as I scribbled with a pen and scanned it to make the effect.
