I love Miyazaki's films - they always seem to have a life of their own. I watched
Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind in Japanese - there was no subbed or dubbed
version in the set I had - and even though I couldn't understand all the stuff they
were saying, the animated images just told the story by itself.
So here's a before-and-after on the Nausicaa wall I did almost a year ago (dang - time
passes by fast!).
Click on the image to view a larger version.
Before
After
The girl is based on the scan, and most of the frontal scenery which had some photoshop
edits to it. The mountains and background were a mix of stock photos and photoshop
magic; the windmills I drew myself and added them on (what better to represent a
"valley of wind" but windmills?).
This wall was actually the first one I worked on after I bought my beloved mac. I
started out CG-ing it in Illustrator...but eventually admitted defeat and went back to
the more familiar Photoshop.
