My second wallpaper~ another Tsubasa one. Think it's a scan? Heh. Look again! This wall took me ages... I worked on it fairly steadily for about a week (maybe more) and then just picked it up and worked on it all night because I couldn't sleep. It's not EXACTLY done but it's 90% done, and my brain and eyes are more or less dead after stupidly staying up, so suggestions or comments on this wall would be nice.
I'm going to explain in great detail how I made this wallpaper because it's a synthesis of three different scans, LOADS of extraction and lots of re-coloring T_T I'm very proud of it, heh, so here goes:
The main scan of Sakura and Syaoran I got from chuayw2000 After I extracted what I wanted you can imagine my dilemma. I mean look at all the text all over this thing. At this point I kind of wanted to cry and die. But before then, I decided to work on the background.
The cherry blossoms in the background I got from atzur. Again, loads of extraction, cropping, moving blossoms to strategically cover Syaoran's hand... recoloring to wipe out Syaoran / Sakura in the middle... etc. etc. It actually wasn't too bad as I remember.
Then I went back to the original Syaoran and Sakura scan and wanted to cry some more, but then I had the brilliant idea to find a PRISTINE Syaoran's cloak and drape it over him! It took some trial and error, but I found a good cloak for him from Aerith0530. After some flipping, manipulating, and coloring in additional wrinkles so that the cloak folds the right way, voila! I managed to cover up most of the offending text.
So tonight I finally sat down, brushed in Sakura's veil and recolored over all of the text. Sakura's metal corset-thing proved to be the biggest challenge... I used a lot of imagination, detailed brushwork (with a 1 pixel-sized brush zoomed in at 1600% most of the time @x@), and in the end got mad and erased about a centimeter of metal plate that I had created earlier but didn't do so well on the lighting. I then tried applying the "dream effect" tutorial that I saw in a site... didn't work as well, so I started playing with different layer overlap effects. After almost 3.5 hours of work... almost done... but just had to keep going back and fixing little things like a bump on Sakura's back, putting in the shadow for a missing arm... and TA-DA~
Sorry for the long description, but I'm writing this to remind myself... no wallpaper again for a long time... until I can learn moderation... but hope you all will enjoy.
P.S. The title's inspired by one of Tsubasa's main theme songs' lyrics... and I was stylistically inspired by Tysoh's beautiful wall.
Updates:
6/26/05: Slight modification to Syaoran's cloak collar and background...
6/30/05: Added in a shadow crease to Sakura's hand, straightened some of Sakura's lines, cleaned a bit of blue
out of her hair that I missed before... Tried smudging Syaoran's cloak, which looked ok, but then I decided to
stick with the original "rugged" look.
10/30/05: In the spirit of taking other people's advice... I finally caved in and smudged Syaoran's cloak so
that quality-wise it looks consistent with the rest of the scan now. I also went over some of the worst jaggies with the
eraser + smudge tool, and smudged some of the background flowers just a teensy bit.
11/1/05: Realized that the lines in the cloak were still really... mortifyingly bad... and went over most of the lines
again with the smudge tool + pen tool, since I'm now in love with the smudge tool. LOADS better... and I imagine
that this will be the final edit of this wallie *kicks it*
6/6/06: Made and updated 1600x1200 version.
Now that my earlier wallies are SLIGHTLY less embarrasingly bad, I can start making a new wallie with a clear
conscience! Kekeke... *^.~*

Really loved it!
And it seems to have given a lot of work, eh? (Sorry, I was too lazy to read his entire explanation. = X)
But it's really very beautiful. Congratulations!
I just think it would have been even better if you had written something ...
Anyway, it's great! I'll add to my favorites. ^ ^ -
