Arch Manga Babe Wallpaper (maybe Not Safe For Work)

samhain · 2008-10-15 12:14:51

Hi All,

Some time ago I found the picture of a lovely manga babe somewhere in the net (can't remember where).
I did not like the ugly background, so I cut out the girl's silhouette with my primitive Gimp skills and put her in a more elegant and boring black background with the Arch logo.

I also tatooed the girl with the Arch logo!!

The image is 1920x1200, feel free to crop it to suit your resolution.

Hope you like it.

Enjoy.

Fnord.

Nice! I like it. Pretty color scheme, and those clothes are both extremely sexy and fit the theme (looking so techy).

Samhain,

That artwork is from Shunya Yamashita. I know because I own 14 PVC figurines based on his artwork.

Yamashita's Wikipedia entry
Yamashita's website

Cosay,

thanks for the info, I really wanted to know the author of the drawing!!

(I hope I'm not breaking any stinking copyright crap-law using and posting the wallpaper

samhain · 2008-10-15 16:01:58

OMG!

I'm already ordering in Amazon a couple of illustration books of Yamashita.

Xyne · 2008-10-15 16:13:29

What are the chances of getting Yamashita to create an Arch mascot?

crispus · 2008-10-15 17:17:43

This is fucking awesome!! Great work!

Baha · 2008-10-15 18:27:02

It remembers me the girl of Gantz, Kishimoto!

I think so, not sure whether it was me being fired, or I got retrenched or got a redundancy, but it was worth it and that's all that matters. Who needs jobs? Wait... Aren't we facing a recession soon... CRAP!!!

BTW is this what you're looking for? - http://acedar.blogspot.com/2007/08/gimp … o-cut.html

There's also the (relatively) new Foreground Select tool, which automates the process a bit.

Has the arch-babe's legality/copyright thing been resolved yet?

I've made a splashy bootsplash theme and SLiM theme from this image and I'd like to share

kdar · 2010-10-03 04:09:01

Would be great if you could share

StefanLiebenberg · 2010-10-04 07:14:45

Mine was made for a 800x480 screen, as soon as i have remade it... i'll share

UPDATE: Use this PKGBUILD to install both themes.

Nice! i like it, we should chose an official anime mascot that would be pretty cool then we could all use the same mascot. Just a thought

lamdacore · 2010-10-07 05:55:02

I second Xenokite. Such a mascot is way more awesome than an animal mascot.

kdar · 2010-10-07 06:21:57

I agree too
