Very Very Nice wally the background simple rocks +1 ;)
Artist Comment
I was recently invited to the battleground over at AnimePaper which stirred up my urge to wall, so I thought I'd pop one out before the thing starts. Anyway, it's Summer here in the US so I thought I would make a nice summer wall. One of my first thoughts about summer-time is the ocean and the cute little baby seagulls. Seagulls are generally annoying, but their babies are cute ... and it's fun to feed the big ones. Well, that's when I used to live on the west coast ... now I'm stuck in Oklahoma for the time being where it's just hot without and ocean to dive into XD .
Anyway, I've always been fascinated by the idea of floating islands or worlds where the gravity is slightly askew so that the odd but beautiful anomalies happen. So the story for this wall is that sky itself is much like an ocean that connects all of these floating islands. People live on them and go island to island by way of hoverboats to get from place to place. So this would mean that the primary animal to dominate the floating islands would be birds. The girl is enjoying the island she lives on and is looking out at the view while playing with the clovers shes picked along the way. She's been enjoying the day with her friend (you can't see them, but that's) who she's throwing the clovers at and this is the point when this little "snapshot" was taken. Various seagulls fly by and land to rest on nearby islands and two are about to land on the little island she is on.
If you look at the wall you'll see the islands floating in and out of nearby passing clouds, as well as birds. I was tring to go for a look of grass hanging over the ledges of the islands, yet still have it appear to pop up, which resulted in an interesting look of folded grass. My favroite part of the wall is the island popping out of the clouds in the center far off where the birds are sitting and some are taking off :) . I think I did a pretty good job on the seagulls ... I based them off of some seagull stock and painted them. I also painted the far islands grass/cliff dirt and remade some of the dropping clovers to make it more balanced. Re-cged part of the girl and fixed up a few things with the scan. The clouds were a combination of stock and brushwork.
Overall, the wall has a simple look of happy Summer ... but lots of effort went into all the little details. So, once again please full view it to see all the effort I put into it. Oh, and happy summer break to all those currently or about to start theirs!

Simply incredible. The effort that went into this is mind blowing, and to beautiful results. It feels though, that there's a bit too much repeat of some pieces, and not enough chiaroscuro in the bg.

Imagine coming home to see this from a long day at your job. Your boss is still being a real pain in your *** !
You are behind in your credit card bills.
Your car breaks down on the highway and you don't have the cash to pay for the service.
Then you see this very pretty lassie extend her hand to you out of friendship and peace.
She invites you to a well deserved break, not to hide from your responsibilities but to regroup to conquer.
Thanxs for sharing this submission :-) ! -
