For the first day of summer, a wall to celebrate! And it's not your typical 'girl on a beach' summer wall either.
Instead, we have little Yotsuba looking out her porch. I always liked stuff where the characters are seen in a different
perspective, and a view from behind works just peachy. The way the original scan was made it more about the
potential of summer instead of just ZOMG LOTS OF SUN AND HAPPY CLOUDS. Yotsuba represents all of our inner children,
just waiting, yearning to go outside and play. I based the room off of this scan by Amai. I was going to add more of
the items from that scan - things like the half-full ice tea bottle and the fan would have helped the summer theme - but
it just made everything way too cluttered. Not that their house ISN'T a giant mess, but it broke the serenity of the
image. As for the cats..... uh, I really like cats and the cats from this scan were perfect. Cats rock. They're there
because they're funny and really cute, and I liked the pose of the sleeping orange cat curled up in the sunlight. I so
want to be that cat. I dedicate the cats to Amai, and I even colored the tabby like Maya! :3
A little bit of texture to give it that old paper feeling and to add an air of nostalgia when you remember your ow
childhood summers.
As for the title, the "dog days" of summer generally refer to lackadasical, hot, humdrum times... which to me
sounds rather like heaven for cats.

Here's an example of 'less is more'. The fact that there's so little to see really pulls your focus down onto the small figures.
The subtle & cool colours play down the vast amount of texture, and adds to the sense of loneliness. Deceptively simple, yet full of class.

Kitties! Great work at composing the various images. Yeah it has a nice, anticipation feel...a bit melancholic too... which is what summers are about anyways (sorry, just finished zettai shounen so I'm still affected).

Simple is best and I feel kind of sad when I see it. Either that or the wall has sort of a sad feeling to it. :D Sorry, that was weird, but anyway, it's a very good wallpaper and I just love the simple design and colors.
