elenniel | Wallpapers: August 2008 (Yay, K8 and Jun!)

Okay, okay. I know I said "Expect wallpapers of Jun, Arashi, Takki, Shirota and others maybe", but my plans changed (i.e. I found out that it was Kanjani8's debut anniversary on August 25) and so now it's "wallpapers of Jun, Arashi and Kanjani8."

To be specific: Kanjani8, Murakami Shingo, Arashi, Matsumoto Jun, Hana Yori Dango.

Erm, by the way, I was listening to Yoko & Hina's Recommen while typing this entry, so excuse the couple of random spazzes about it here and there in the post. ^^;

First, happy (belated) 4th birthday to Kanjani8! "Official" birthday, anyway. =D

So let's celebrate with this, which was 150% pure fun enjoyment for me to do:

[ 1280 x 1024 ]
Eito Ranger movie! (I wish. Don't you think they really should make one? :P )
But I had soooooooooooo much fun making this wallpaper, or rather that "poster" in it. XD
Traced the figures in Photoshop from shop photos of the Eito Rangers. Originally I used only one photo, but then later decided that some of the figures weren't dynamic enough and so ended up re-tracing a couple from another photo.
Oh, and the names of the scriptwriter and directors - those are real people. I picked those because of the dramas they'd worked on. Okay, I was going to explain more about this piece in detail from the choices of directors/scriptwriter and the arrangement of K8's names in the credits, but I think I'll leave that for another non-wallpaper post so I don't bore people who just want to see wallpapers. :) Full explanation here. :D

Personally, I like this lots too. *minimalist aesthetic*
Yes, the ∞ is in pink. Because I needed another colour for it and, well, yeah... pink fit and coincidentally it's Uchi's colour. ^_^;

And a little extra piece:

This is the widescreen version of the Hina wallpaper that I posted in July :D ( HAHAH! This week's Otoko-juku caller's cousin just yelled "Yoko!" into the phone as Hina and Yoko were saying goodbye to him. lolll... Okay, sorry, distracted there. XD )

All riiiight. Time for birthday boy :) It's not his birthday yet, but since I'm not sure if I'll have time to post on Saturday, the day before will have to do. (And besides, this way I escape the potential flood of Jun-related media that's likely to pop up everywhere on LJ on Saturday? 8D )

So, a happy (early) birthday to you, Jun!

Nice sort of European feel to those pictures... the style and setting.

This one, along with the Eito Ranger wallpaper at the beginning of this post, is one of those wallpapers I'm really really happy with. Two versions - with text and without. :)

And, an Arashi piece!

=D

And some little extras, especially for fellow widescreen sufferers users, like myself: 1440x900 reworkings of a few of my favourite wallpapers posted... I forgot when. Some time ago. hahah! You can go through the "wallpapers" tag if you want to find the original 1280x1024 versions. ^^

Arashi:

Hana Yori Dango:

(Another aside: Awww... Recommen's ended for today.)

There. I hope you've all enjoyed this (rather large) batch of wallpapers. *whisper* Comments always welcomed!

'Til next month! :)

**********

- Most are at 1280 x 1024 and/or 1440 x 900. If there are two versions of a wallpaper, the 1280x1024 may differ slightly from the 1440x900 because what works in widescreen may not always work in normal resolutions, and vice versa.

- The watermarks / sigs. They're there because I've had my stuff stolen before (a Bleach wallpaper) and I don't take well to that sort of thing....

- Credits are given on the wallpapers when possible. "Impossible" being situations where I forgot to note down the source of the pic and can't seem to find the original source.

- If you'd like any of them without the watermark, just leave a comment with your e-mail (unless you've requested before, then I'll just check my contact list for your add) and I'll send the 'clean' version over.

- Do drop a comment if you like them, or if you have any suggestions. :)

- Also, please do not post my wallpapers anywhere else without first asking me. Generally I won't say no if you ask nicely and credit me. hehe
