Get yourself all Patched Up!
Sep. 22nd, 2010 03:39 pmI feel like my journal is currently doing a grave injustice to my interests and it's all because I've been waiting to post this post. What have you been missing? Why just how obsessed I am with Eito's latest project, Prologue of Patch and the upcoming ∞UPPERS. I already posted about the last single but the release of LIFE has only ramped up the excitement. UM, GUYS, THEY ARE SOME SORT OF VIGILANTE GROUP, MATCHING CRIME WITH CRIME. I maaaay have watched the 'trailer' for the movie about a million times already. I was honestly surprised and thrilled by how dark and gritty this project is... and by just now much money they spent on them. THIS LEGIT LOOKS AWESOME. The camera work! The typography! Allllll of the music associated so far. Just, I am making starryeyes all the time now when I think of this project. I'm totally getting the fanciest boxset, though I'm not quite crazy enough to get all three. Even though I want to. :D
As a small expression of my feelings, I decided to make character wallpapers. All caps come from somewhere in the footage we've been given and did my best to make an associated symbol central to the design for everyone, though I didn't always wind up going with the most common one. Some of these I like better than others and I wish they'd give us a few more pixels on the DVDs but overall I'm happy! This project was so much fun. :D

You're very welcome!

Date: 2010-09-22 09:47 pm (UTC)LOL, I'd like to say I was being considerate but I started making all of at 1680 because that's my current resolution. XD I could try to rework them to full 1920 if you want though! The darn Prologue DVDs don't give very big images of their faces but I could extend the background more. :D
Thank you so much for commenting, dude!

Date: 2010-09-23 02:30 am (UTC)The Toppo one is just, *sighs*, LOVE~! XD
Sighhhhh, ngl, I already love Toppo based purely on the cotton candy and bright (Yasu-like) colors. I have no idea how that's going to fit in with his story but TOPOP IS RAD!
No problem! I got inspired and I'm just happy to share the love. ♥

Date: 2010-09-23 03:48 am (UTC)I think Gum's turned out to be my favorite. I really like Toppo's and Ace's, those came together so easily. But I think I spent the most time thinking about and fiddling with Gum's and even though I wished for better quality screencaps, I'm glad I got results I really liked in the end. Maru has such iconic character already with that mask! Plus I got to use so much orange and orange is my favorite. ♥
(Also, for some reason your comment made me go back and look at Mac's and I realized I hadn't scaled them down right and went back and fixed them so WHEW, I' glad that happened.:D)
the whole set's great! I don't think I've seen a set of JE wallpapers that's as well done as this!
*bows down* I'm not worthy! ...But you definitely just made my day. ♥! I think Eito deserves a lot of credit for putting out such a stylish project. When you have all this cool imagery to work with, it's easy to get inspired. There was a lot to pull from to make it feel like a set. I'm so happy that Pacchi is such a long term project, there's so much we don't know about these characters yet!
(hahaha YES. I've had it for several years now but every time I think to change it I go "But I can't live without orange italics and turquoise bolding!" XDDD)
SORRY I WROTE YOU A BOOK, I WAS EXCITED! :D
