Posting my entry into modified.

Took the scene from seven samurai with the guy killing the attacker behind him in the rain.  Gimped in a spear rather than sword and put a forest in the background rather than palisades to create an image of Kaemon tracking in a forestclearing in the rain.



Not that good, but it's the first time I've tried something like this.

Posting my entry into the modified category.  I used a wall paper I collaborated on with a roommate of in college.  The color scheme didn't really work so I changed it to greyscale and it  really looks like a Forrest in winter.   I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out.

I just took an image and cropped/scaled it down right, sharpened it, improved the line weight and then slapped a pretty border on it.

I also played with pre-existing elements, applying my petty skills to them.

Avatar change: definitely not my own, just a little bit of cropping, but certainly fits! Smiley

Mine had a bit of a color job, nothing special. But I am thinking of drawing an Okami-style version of Asaho. Grin

Very pretty indeed, did you base yourself on the hero of Jigoku Shoujo?

Anyways, mine is for the non-original category.

Yes I did. 

I used Deleter CGillust as my main tool for creating the image and then I used Photoshop to finish the image.
