I just quickly whipped this up...  doesn't look as good as Anniebel's but  I only spent a few minutes on it...  sorry!!  I've noticed in most "realistic" animes the backgrounds seem to have an almost watercolor feel to them so I just took a pic and used the watercolor filter (in photoshop) on it and slapped my z-tooned render over top and then used the diffused light filter on the whole thing...   not the best example but gives you the idea...  I'm just too darned tired to go full bore on it!!!

You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould
Rock n roll is our epiphany
Culture, alienation, boredom and despair
