Wall Mural Advice

[JoeFahey]

I am in the process of repainting my room. I am using a darker tone of green for an earthy look. I also plan to paste a mural of some mountain/forest scene on one of the walls that would complement the paint color. I know I could use a program like Rasterbator to create my own image, but I want a higher resolution and I want to avoid the seam-lines.

Why am I finding massive price differences in certain murals?

General advice from anyone who has used a wall-mural?

Thanks!

EDIT: The wall is about 7.5'x8'

Well, you can get a hella big map; I have one put up on the wall at work and it's put together - like you said - like wallpaper. If you're doing a full wall mural, I doubt you'd find something pre-made as it most likely is not a "regular" size for posters.

i vote this mural:

edit: alternatively, maybe some epic battle scene between angels and demons. i'm sure someone sells the Sistine chapel mural on wallpaper.

i want the first scene of LOTR:FOTR on my wall. (the big battle scene)

I was mostly just looking for advice in general for wall murals...different application techniques, different materials, etc.
