December Wallpapers

[elenniel]

December! I belatedly realised that posting wallpapers in Christmas week might be a bit silly because it's so near the end of December, people wouldn't have much time to use wallpapers that have a Christmas-y feel. ^^; Not that all these feel like Christmas, but quite a few of them do. 8D

This December: Shirota Yuu, Arashi, Matsumoto Jun, Ohno Satoshi, Sakurai Sho, V6, Okada Junichi, Nagano Hiroshi, Kanjani∞, Ohkura Tadayoshi, Yokoyama You

Enjoy, and as always, click the thumbnails for the larger versions. :)


We start with...
Shirota Yuu
[ 1280x1024 ]
His birthday's after Christmas! I wish I made more Shirotan wallpapers, but I had a lack of nice new scans and inspiration...

Arashi

The widescreen version of a wallpaper I put up.. er... I think last year. 8D
[ 1280x1024 ]
I like ze colours~~

(And a few more Arashi-related ones at the end of this entry! )


Matsumoto Jun
[ 1280x1024 ]
*sighs dreamily* Now why can't he have kept his hair like this? Anyway, this reminds me of some sort of retro chocolate packaging -__- I think it's the colours. But I like it :D

Ohno Satoshi
[ 1280x1024 ]
Done for skyura's birthday last month, and one of my personal favourite wallpapers. <3

Sakurai Sho
[ 1280x1024 ]
If you think this looks familiar, then you were paying attention in my last wallpaper post. XD It's in the same style as the Okada piece I posted last month. I didn't mean it to turn out this way, but while I was editing the pic, it occurred to me that hey, it could work with the whole "white spring" theme too. So I ran with it. hehe

V6
[ 1280x1024 ]
This just has "Christmas" written all over it~ (I've been using it on my own computer ever since the beginning on the month.) Christmas + V6 in suits = ♥

Okada Junichi
[ 1280x1024 ]
I was cracking up as I tried to think of words to put in because everything that came to mind sounded like an advertisement. 8D
Anyway, here's a version without text:
Version B: [ 1440x900 ] [ 1280x1024 ]

Nagano Hiroshi
[ 1280x1024 ]
Nagano-mama~~ This was finished sometime early November, but looking at it now... It has a similar feel to the Jun one. Like a retro luxury chocolate box. hahaha
(Oh no... Now I feel like I want chocolates...)



Kanjani∞
Eito!
No group wallpaper this time, but instead I have these:



1280 x 1024: red | orange | yellow | green | blue | purple | black

One for each Ranger. :D I really like these a lot! Was so happy with the way they turned out. They just look so... velvety and elegant. Maybe that's a contradiction of what Eito is, but still, I like these <3 (And that logo was traced with Illustrator... like how I did the little bee mascot the last time. ^^ )

** 5.28PM: After reading enshinge's comment... I have to agree that these would be considered "work-safe" too. XD I don't think my brain was functioning quite right this morning when I posted this 8D

Ohkura Tadayoshi
[ 1280x1024 ]
Ta-cchon~
This one sort of feels Christmas-sy to me and yet not. I can't explain it... Maybe it's the colours again. Retro-ish and Christmas-sy and (I hope) classic.

Yokoyama You
[ 1280x1024 ]
This one was for ohmiya_sg, the last one I owed her for her incredible feats of subbing. XD


Lastly...
"Work-safe"
So, yes. Here's more of those that you can safely use at work without your boss and colleagues thinking you're obsessed with a bunch of good-looking Japanese guys (although in fact you are). 8D
1. 2. 3.

1280x1024: [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
* 1 = Arashi (Step & Go lyrics), 2 & 3 = Kanjani∞ (Goujou ni Go! and Mugendai lyrics)

Aaaand these two have been sitting around in my computer for just over a year I think ^^; (Wonder why I never got around to posting them before...) I made them when I found out that Love So Sweet did so magnificently in the charts...

It was also partly an experiment in achieving realism (ie. making a convincing CD-like appearance), and I think I succeeded quite well. :)

I couldn've sworn I had widescreen versions of these, but I couldn't find them last night. -__- If I locate them, I'll post them next month.


T-t-t-that's all, folks!

And have a blessed Christmas, everyone~

**********

- 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. Also, I generally don't take requests. Sorry to sound mean about it but I don't have the time to oblige everyone, much as I would like to. ^^

- 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

I always use them :3
Thanks for making them!

[elenniel.livejournal.com]

It makes me really happy to know that ^^
And thank you for commenting!

[evil-authoress.livejournal.com]

That Shirota scan is awesome. Could you pass along the original? :D

[elenniel.livejournal.com]

You can get the original scan from the LJ user I named in the wallpaper (ravient). ^^

[starsystems.livejournal.com]

I really like the ones without any pictures. Especially the K8 colour ones.

[silentchord.livejournal.com]

Love your icon XD

[silentchord.livejournal.com]

I adore the Yoko wallpaper. That has to be one of my absolute favourite pictures of him. Definitely shall be using that one, but they're all gorgeous~

[elenniel.livejournal.com]

Yay for Yoko! :D
Thank you for the nice comment ^^

[konkon86.livejournal.com]

ahhhh yaya found some cool wallpapers... thanks for generously sharing... taking arashi, ohno and sho ones.. good work.. arigatou XD

[fishie]

Ooh~ It's been a while. ♥ Can I get the Shirota one and the first three 'worksafe' ones in 1280 x 1024, please?

[elenniel.livejournal.com]

Sent~! :)

[eighter-shingo.livejournal.com]

WOW, so nice! I took the V6 one. Thank you!

[cky-ash.livejournal.com]

They look great!

[elenniel.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[club-ueda.livejournal.com]

Oooh nice! Could I have the Shirota and Sho's wallies in 1680x1050? Thanks for sharing! :D

[elenniel.livejournal.com]

Erm... That's a bit tough. I can't actually enlarge the wallpapers without the pictures going blurry. Unless I just drop them into a 1680x1050 piece and leave a huge border around it... (which actually kind of equates putting a smaller wallpaper with "Centre" position instead of "Tile" or "Stretch" )
^^;

[lunacchi.livejournal.com]

got yoko's ^-^ thank you

[poke-nyaa.livejournal.com]

as usual your wallies are amazing ^^
took Ohkura's thx

[arashi07.livejournal.com]

wow~ these are so lovely!!
took all arashi ones..^^
thanks for sharing!!

[lsirial.livejournal.com]

Worksafe wallpapers are a great thing =D Yours are probably worksafer (?) than mine, because I tend to consider AAA08 pamphlet's weird paysage as worksafe XP

[elenniel.livejournal.com]

Worksafe wallpapers are a great thing
They're very useful~ hehehe

But what's "paysage"? *puzzled*

[vinaps.livejournal.com]

I loveeee matsujun wally... so i take it
thanks

[elenniel.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so glad you like them! I'm always a little worried about how those picture-less ones will be received by fellow fans. ^^
And thank you for the compliment~ :)

[queenrociel.livejournal.com]

wow~ nice! i love the CDs one. It looks damn REAL.

[elenniel.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you!

[enshinge.livejournal.com]

Aha, I am calling those Eito ones work-safe, snagging the nasu, thanks♥
...This will also encourage me to clean up my desktop a little bit XD

[elenniel.livejournal.com]

Yay, you liked them~!

Oh good point. Now why didn't I place all those under the "Work-safe" label to begin with? -__-"" hahaha
*goes to add a note in the post*

[quartered.livejournal.com]

[snoew.livejournal.com]

YAY december!!!!

HAHAHA i finally see the love so sweet wallpaper!! which u show me ages ago!!
<333 it still look awesome..that's my fav!!

haha i like the arashi group chrismasy wallpaper..the white one...just that i sort of see gap difference again *bricks myself* hahaa. but its a lovely one! so much better than that lazy version i did during august!! HAHAH

junnie's wallpaper ahhh is the one u were working on it?? :D i like the colors~~ it does look like some packaging hahaha... but i think the word could be bigger a few size to make it visually balance? :P

i've already express my love on skyura's present <3 still love it!!! AHHHH CHIPMUNK. i love the serene mood <3 white spring sort of works fine here too so is okay hahaa...but is it me or my monitor that the white looks abit grey-ishly dull? probably whiter-abit (not pure white) will look better? :d

i like yoko's wallie...heheee he looks awesome there...nicely executed...love the font!!

kyaaaaaaaa ~~~ oh no next week is christmas!!!!!!!!!

*runs*

[elenniel.livejournal.com]

i finally see the love so sweet wallpaper!!
Yes, FINALLY. Gosh, I took so long to post it XD

Gap diff? There is? I'm pretty sure I was accurate down to the very pixel with that one. Oh well. ahahah Thanks though :D

Yea that's the one I was working on... and I still have the chocolate craving from this morning -__-"
Mmmm the text size ah... I think it's pretty balanced as it is. (But we'll never come to an agreement on things like this XD )

There's a grey-to-white gradient in the Sho wallpaper but hm... Now it does look kinda more grey than it did the other night. *rubs eyes* Ish. ><

Wah, you like the Yoko one! :O
*is happy*

Christmasssss... and Aiba-day soonnnn
I'm waiting for your wallpaper post XD
