Title: Beachside Onigiri
Series: Air
Character: Yukito and Misuzu
Details: One of the more difficult wallpapers I've worked on. The images of Yukito and Misuzu were actually from two different scans that I attempted to blend together. This forced me to alter the coloring on each piece selectively so they would blend together correctly without error. I also removed text and pushed the two characters a bit closer together on the bench to lend a bit of desperation to Misuzu's attempt to gain Yukito's attention. The background is an actually beach picture, I wanted to lend a hint of realism to this piece since the anime itself has always felt more real to me than a mystical series should be able too.
