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.

Aiye, I like your windmills. :) I think they fit perfectly in the landscape; and with the title "valley of wind," it would all make sense then why little windmills are present. XD~ (it's possible to have windmills especially since the valley does have a lot of wind in it... so yea!)
Your art never ceases to amaze me!! XD~

This is one of maybe 3 walls i�ve used from your site. As for illustrator, I�ve heard it�s more powerful if you are drawing because of the focused toolset and many keyboard shortcuts for the pen tool, because of the gradient mesh, which I don�t think you can replicate in Photoshop, and because its easier to resize items later, in case you want to make the drawing poster-sized

Woah o___O The before and after is... :O I love it when you show a before and after. Really shows the effort you put in when creating images like that.

Hmm, yet another masterpiece. I'm a fan of Miyazaki movies so I was really happy to see this piece. Nausicaa was a really good movie
