This is a last minute entry for the Everybody JUMP! challenge hosted by Snowzi. The Shonen Jump manga/anime I chose for my wallpaper was the series of Yu-Gi-Oh. I have been a fan of this anime series for most of my life so naturally I had to make a wallpaper of it for this challenge. I have read the Shonen Jump manga of the original Yu-Gi-Oh and seen the anime as well. I love the characters,the art,the story,all of it. I pretty much grew up with most of the characters. I collected the cards,played the game way back when. Well that is some of the history I have with this series. Now to the meat and bones of the wallpaper.
The image I chose for the wallpaper has all the main characters of the different Yu-Gi-Oh series franchise (Duel Monsters,GX,5D's,ZeXal,and the current Arc-V which premiered this month in Japan). I had found it doing random image searches and decided to make into the wallpaper you see now. It was sort of a challenge to make and didn't come out the way I expected. Here's why...
Well I decided to once again explore new styles of walling by experimenting with textures. I was listening to Lady Gaga when I was making it so it sort of influenced some of the crazy colors and stuff. It took awhile to make (at least an hour to maybe an hour and a half) and the extraction was a challenge.
For those of you not familiar with Yu-Gi-Oh the characters that appear in the wallpaper are Yusei Fudo,Yuma Tsukumo,Yugi Moto,Atem/Yami Yugi,Astral,Judai Yuki,and the new kid Yuya Sakaki (in the front with the red and green hair and white cape on the hippo)
Sorry for the long description. I had a lot to explain about the process and gibe a bit of history about the characters and anime. I hope everyone enjoys the wallpaper. I had fun making it. Title is inspired by Applause by Lady Gaga and her new album.
Long description is very long
