I’d say I’m about 60% done with this wallpaper. I’ve been working on this for over a year now, doing little bits here and there. Due to the hard drive crash though, I had lost the entire thing and had to start all over, so that preview up there is how far I’ve come along in about four days. Everything you see is vectored, with some airbrushing and the smudge tool put to use.
Tohsaka (or “Toesucka” as I like to call her) is done, Shirou is almost done and I’ve laid the groundwork for Archer. The real test is going to be the background and the chains, which looks time-consuming as all hell.

Especially when you lose files dating back two years that you didn’t bother to back up and RAAAAAAAAAAGE
I’m more upset about losing several files, including a Fate/Stay Night wallpaper that I’ve been working on for over a year. All that work for nothing! However, I love the image I’m using for it so much that I’m willing to start from scratch. Damnedable Rin Toe-sucka.
Anyway, quick thoughts on stuff I’ve finished:
Gundam 00 Season 2: Just awful. Honest to goodness awful. Wasn’t even trainwreck worthy. And yes, I will watch the movie because it’s Gundam. If I could sit through Seed Destiny, I can sit through anything.
Toradora!: Didn’t end the way I expected it to. Liked it.
Michiko and Hatchin: Didn’t grab me like Champloo or Bebop did, and the most memorable episode was number 4 (I think). Everything else was a blur, but I did like the ending, even if the budget was sort of shoestring at that point.
Haruhi-chan/Smoked Cheese – Smoked cheese is aiight. Haruhi-chan is hit or miss (most of the hits coming from Yuki’s interaction with Achakura).
Catching up on other shows from the Fall 2008 line up. Looking forward to the Spring 2009 lineup and the possibility of new Haruhi episodes.
