I was rather surprised when I was browsing the Galleries before this contest and found that Digimon had less than 40 entries in it! So of course when I was given the theme and guidelines for this contest, Digimon came first to mind.

This is for the third Underappreciated Contest - [STIMULUS] "Music" - With the guideline that we make a wallpaper of an anime series that has less than 100 pictures in it's gallery here on minitokyo and it has to have something to do with music.

I started this wallpaper first of my two entries, but actually finished it second... I still like my other wallpaper for this contest more, so I'm saving it for a little later... (It's torture waiting to post my work, really, it is!) Anyway, I went through the two themes below before coming up with this final one above. The BG is a stock photo (I'm really terrible at BGs, and this wall just had to have a nature BG or something and I can't do that) That I added a grainy filter to And then I made the staffs, distorted them and added the musical notes (It may look like it could be an actual song, but that's because I know how to transcribe music, but it's not... I wonder what it'd sound like... might be interesting XD)

After Misa's comment I went back and gave a shot at vectoring the BG (My first time!) I think it does look pretty good... I couldn't figure out how to get that blue effect that showed up on the original again after my fiddling so it's just a vector of the original image in the end... ^_^;

With more of Misa's prompting, I've redone the water entirely (Isn't it so pretty now? Nice and soft and more like the original image!) And I couldn't figure out how to recreate the diluded effect from the original, so I put the original layer with the effect over top of the new vector in order to keep the diluted effect (because I agree, the undiluted Lens Flare is way too much.) I did make a version without a lens flare at all, but it fell completely flat.

this group is alwyas having contests, and that makes me want to join XD i should just apply and join in on the fun eventhough i dont do well with themes XD. nice work and good luck on your entry.

WOW. Digimon had less than 100 gallery items? That's insane lol!

i see you vectored the chara... I think the background should have also been vectored... up close it's a bit too realistic but from afar it doesn't make too much of a difference... there's nothing much to really suggest or say... the stock was well chosen, and the music's all there ^_^b

PS: sorry I have to edit this post because I cant' double post...

It's lovely! The stars are a great add in ^_^ I think the texture of the island should be toned down a bit... for some reason I think of skin (I have no idea why) and the water... just create a new layer, do some random white horzontal lines of different thickness (brush or pentool holding the shift button or no shift, doesn't matter), give it a blur and then put down the transparency. There is also a default brush that is in the sign of an X. Use that and change the brush size and splat bits of it across the water to make it sparkle ^_^ Like there are stars in the sky so yeah ^_^
The lens flare is a little too much for me... it'd be nice if the red ring disappeared, but if it can't be done, it doesn't matter ^_^ Great vectoring work!

Wow, that is so very pretty.
The background is gorgeous. I love the music notes. Great job. :)

Grat vector and fantastic background must give amazing wallpaper like this one :)
Excellent work on this wall ^_^

Yeah, it's Matt! He used to be my fave character on Digimon. I totally love the music theme, it's so fits him ^_^

Matt..and his harmonica......very very nice wall....I simply love it

I can't beleive Digimon had less than 50 gallery items!
I would add some if I could but I'm just not cut out for making wallpapers.
Yet, your wallpaper is really nice and the background makes a touching veiw of Matt playing the Harmonica. Great job!
