A GIMP and Inkscape video tutorial about how this wallpaper was created.

The calligraphic typeface is all authentically hand-created one character at a time. No graphic pen tablets used. I use a 6.0mm Pilot Parallel Calligraphy Pen using Pelikan Ink on standard white paper. This is all done using my new light table. The character sheets are scanned, and post processed in GIMP to create the bitmap character library (as shown in the video).
