Expotaku 2012

Commissioned by Expotaku.

This is the poster for Expotaku tour 2012 (a bunch of different manganime cons that are going to take place this year in Spain). More info in its HP: [link] They requested me the poster illustration and the final layout (you can see it on website).

It was one of the most complex backgrounds I have ever done, but I'm rather proud of the result. I used a free stock photo of Akihabara for reference, photomanipulated a lot and redrew most of the elements above it. You can compare with the original one in the credits.

Hope you like it~
It was a nice commission to do.

Note: It was done in early December 2011.
