Nausicaa
Saturday, March 24, 2007 | Posted by Jay 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.

You're a vegan, too? Whoa! I only turned about a year ago. We should totally stop being lazy and get better jobs, and then give money to the ALF to make up for it, lol. Vegan terrorist, what?

Wow that's a really really beautiful edit! Your wallpapers are so pretty! I'm going to go through them and pick out one for my desktop. Hooray for having them in my resolution too (1280x1024, so many people just have an 1280x960 option).

People always seem to like Miyazaki films, but I'm very picky with them. I like some, but then simply detest others. I liked the dubbed Kiki's Delivery Service and Spirited Away, but came to hate Princess Mononoke and came to dislike Howl's Moving Castle. I think it's due to the fact that I dislike an extreme amount of gore and creepiness in cartoons. Unfortunately, Miyazaki films usually contain both...heh.

O_O! Simply freakin' amazing! Illustrator is incredibly confusing for me- I don't even *try*. I like the rocks and the grass...special respect to you for the rocks simply because I can't even make rocks look like rocks when I draw them on paper. xD
Miyazaki *is* amazing. I love Spirited Away and all those other films. /sigh/ Now I want to go watch them.

Aaww, I've always wanted a mac, I hate you for making me envious. xP
Anyhow, what you did to the original picture was amazing! 8D Photoshop is quite lovely isn't it?
I'm also a fan of Miyazaki's films. *o* I've seen part of Nausicaa, but never got to finish it. I guess I've kind of lost interest, when my younger siblings plays it, over and over and over again. D: It got old, I guess. ._.;;
