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.

I've never heard of Nausicca before. I should look into it seeing lotsof people say Miyazaki's movies are good.
The wallpaper is really beautiful. The windmill looks real.

I actually haven't seen Nausicaa yet now that I think about it. I've read it though (does that count?) To think this was made nearly a year ago. I love Miyazaki movies though with a love for Totoro and many others. Didn't know you had a mac. It's it actually easier to CG on illustrator? I have illustrator lying around my computer but I never bothered installing in feas of blowing up my computer (I'm still using a desktop PC)
I didn't know there was manga on Nausicaa xp I guess it does count.
Actually, I have no clue about Illustrator =/. I've always used photoshop for CGing ~ though I've been making a few half-hearted attempts at trying Illustrator since that's the official "drawing" program. Photoshop's original purpose is manipulation.

Wow, that's beautiful. You have a mac too? What kind? I switched back to macs last July - the PowerPC phase sent me screaming and crying to Dell.
Miyazaki's movies are awesome. Nausicaa was beautiful, although I think the most beautiful would still be Mononoke for me.
I have an iMac.
