Allow me to start by saying I'm quite happy with this drawing, so if you are not for some reason, I beg your pardon :-) I'm usually not 100% satisfied with every new picture, and just get too tired to continuously improve it, so I just stop somewhere. This time however, I did enjoy the process till the end! And it took me several days to complete. I wanted to try new technique, so I took a gel pen and A3 paper. After couple of days of relaxed drawing, I scanned the result and continued in Photoshop - added text layers, colors, effects, and some little details (which took another couple of days). I also made several color variations, because I am not sure which color combination is better, so I figured I'd publish all of them. As you can see, this picture is very hard to use as desktop background - it is too busy with details, hard to see any icons above it. This is intentional. Usually I design my wallpapers with lots of empty space, to make them easy to use. This drawing was specifically designed for my highly successful collaboration with DecalGirl.com - http://www.decalgirl.com/artwork/3601/Books - they sell vinyl skins for laptops, phones and other devices. So I made this drawing with print in mind, not screen. You might even want to get a poster - I can assure you it will look impressive :-) For more sizes, e-cards, vinyl skins and more, please visit http://www.vladstudio.com/wallpaper/?books http://www.vladstudio.com/wallpaper/?books_color2 http://www.vladstudio.com/wallpaper/?books_color3 P.S. If you're curious, the text written on the pages is from Alice in Wonderland - no wonder, is it?

A fantastic job with this imaginative creation. I love the text on the pages. It works fine on my desktop as I don't use icons to clutter up the view.

for some reason, it reminded me of illustrations from old scripts or perhaps even bibels (im not sure).. love the many little details, easy to get lost in and I got the vibe that you REALLY love books. Great mate!
