Well, this is my entry for the arete competition that was held at Minitokyo.net
link to the results: http://minuial.net/arete/
it won "outstanding entry" which was more like 2nd place by looking at the scores.
basically, we were given an amano scan, and did what we wanted with it. and to be honest, i despised the scan we were given. i hated it with every fiber of my being, and her eyes scared the hell out of me when i was working on it. so, i decided..."screw this, i'm cropping them out" it was a design choice as well, but mainly due to the fact they just freaked me out.
i vectored the scan, trying to get amano's lines as perfect as possible. i decided...no color except for the sakura and lips, and went with it. it was to give it a ghosty look. i added texture basically to add to the creepy ghosty look, and i happened to come across an awesome poem that matched the wall perfectly. vectored in adobe illustrator, and finished off in photoshop. Th evector took a long time, but i think it payed off in the end. SO thats about it. I hated this scan, and made something i kinda sorta liked in the end. xD

The design of this wallpaper is awesome. You can just tell that it 'pops out'. The vector work on the scan was extremely well done as kalicodreamz traced the outlines to perfection. Also, the choice of black and white goes extremely well with the design, and the red highlights on the lips and sakura blossoms work well. This is a beautiful piece of artwork from top to bottom, corner to corner. Simply gorgeous.
