Wallpapers: November 2008
Nov. 19th, 2008 09:44 pmLooking back in my archives, November 2006 was the first time I posted wallpapers on LJ. November 16th. Two years, wow... I meant to post on the 16th this time too, but I had a whole bunch of things to do and couldn't manage it in time. >.<
But I'm posting today! Just three days off - and it's Okada Junichi's birthday too? 8D
This month's post consists of: Shirota Yuu, Endou Yuuya, Nakamura Yuichi, Arashi, Ohno Satoshi, Sakurai Sho, Kanjani∞, Yokoyama You, Nishikido Ryo, V6, Okada Junichi, Nagano Hiroshi, Miyake Ken and Sakamoto Masayuki. Lots, eh? ^^
Ah, and click the thumbnails to see the larger version. :)
So we start with the D-boys lot... the fandom that lasted a short while before I discovered Arashi and JE. =P
Shirota Yuu!
[ 1280x1024 ]
(I know he's "graduated" from D-boys already, but I'm still going to lump him under this category anyway. hahah)
Endou Yuuya
[ 1280x1024 ]
Nakamura Yuichi
[ 1280x1024 ]
Now, the JE guys!
Arashi
[ 1280x1024 ]
I think the retro look is definitely one of my strengths... ^^
Ohno Satoshi
[ 1280x1024 ]
Birthday boy! (Soon, anyway.) I somehow think I should have done more of him... but then the Arashi fandom will most likely explode with Ohno stuff next week, so... never mind. 8D
Sakurai Sho
[ 1280x1024 ]
And this is where the bulk of today's post is - V6!!!
If you're a JE fan and you have never ever heard V6's stuff... Well, I personally think you're missing out. ^_^ ( I mean... Sakamoto! I'm quite convinced that he's the best voice in JE at the moment. Ohno comes in second; please don't kill me. Heh. And collectively, their sound is... well, I love it!)
[ 1280x1024 ]
Heh. That came out kinda looking like a heart... 8D

This was kind of a test... I wanted to see if I could get the text to look at least semi-believable in that environment. Not perfect, but I think it's not that bad either. (And I like how 20th Century's colours stand out after I desaturated the background XD )
* Only widescreen because it won't look nice in a more squarish format like 1280x1024.
Miyake Ken
[ 1280x1024 ]
One of my best wallpapers, I think. Textures and patterns are starting to become one of my 'things,' along with the retro style. heheh
Sakamoto Masayuki

Old pic, but I liked them circles :P
(Sorry, this is the only size I've done at the moment. But if anyone wants a 1280x1024 version, I'll oblige ^^ )
Nagano Hiroshi
I missed his birthday month (October) so I'm making up for it now!
1.
[ 1280x1024 ]
A very early Nagano wallpaper - done when I was severely lacking in V6 scans. I rather like the colours...
2.
[ 1280x1024 ]
♥ I think this suits Nagano-mama wonderfully. Calm and soothing~
3.
[ 1280x1024 ]
Didn't manage to get rid of the graininess of the original photo so I had to make the background grainy as well to match. It actually turned out kinda okay. hahah! ;)
Okada Junichi...
... turns 28 today! =D
1.
[ 1280x1024 ]
♥ (Why "White Spring?" Nothing really. I was just following the title of that particular magazine shoot of his. It just kind of sounded nice. 8D )
2.
[ 1280x1024 ]
SP Okada! *swoons*
3.
[ 1280x1024 ]
Words cannot describe how much I like this wallpaper. :)
And lastly for V6, these are some of those wallpapers I like to call "Work-Safe." For us working adults, it can be a little awkward at times to have a desktop wallpaper with all the guys plastered on it. So I have these wallpapers that use just text and graphics, but that are directly related to the group in question. Indirect fangirling. ^^ (I think I posted a couple before - Arashi-related ones - but am too lazy to hunt through my archives for them right now.)
Change the World... and Feel Your Breeze. :)

12 April 2012: Photobucket alternatives for "Change the World" - 1440x900 | 1280x1024
Okay... to round things off: Kanjani∞!
1.
[ 1280x1024 ] 2.
[ 1280x1024 ]
(Yea, I did trace the bee in the #2 wallpaper. :D )
Nishikido Ryo
[ 1280x1024 ]
Yokoyama You
1.
Okay, the grungy look isn't exactly my expertise, but I do like to mess around with it once in a while. ^^
As for that quote - I thought those lines from The Godfather suited it. eheh
Also only one size at the moment, but I might do a 1280x1024 version if people want it...
2.
[ 1280x1024 ]
My fingers are tired... As always, I hope you liked these - and have fun! ^_^
**********
- 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 and PLEASE state the size you want 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

Date: 2008-11-19 03:01 pm (UTC)There are also two more of Arashi. They are violet and the texture says "Take the worly by storm" and "Arashi for dreams". I can't find the link somehow but love to use them without watermark. I really like the idea of using such a great background with a simple texture. *-*

no subject
Date: 2008-11-19 03:06 pm (UTC)my fav one should be the one with riidaaaa~~ well u know i like funky haha. but the extra white space on top of ohno's heads like wastage :P maybe make him slightly bigger 5% will be nicer.
nice job at the sho wallpaper too!! tho the red words caught my attention first other than the actual sho. ^^
woo. i see u finally posted that white spring :P i like the 3rd okada wallpaper!!
i like the bee!!! the ryo is not bad too.
no subject
Date: 2008-11-19 03:46 pm (UTC)Mmm I see what you mean about the white space... The thing is - I don't much like having a giant figure staring back at me from my desktop unless I can help it. hahahah! But I'll keep that in mind for next time :D
tho the red words caught my attention first other than the actual sho. ^^
lol! Maybe I should have recoloured Sho's jacket red hor?
Yess FINALLY I posted White Spring. 8D Dunno how long it's been in 'storage.' ahahha
And I fixed the third Okada wallpaper according to your suggestion (about the spacing). XD
The Hachi-bee is cute~ (although it looks like it's kinda angry... hahaha)
the ryo is not bad too.
*shock*
:P

Took his wally, you might have guessed it by now *laugh* as well as Sho's but yeah... only because of the included Ohno there XD Oh, and Kanjani 8. And only Yoko's second one as I need 1280x1024 - but don't bother, I got enough nice walls for today *laugh*
