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.

Ahah who doesn't want to be a cat ? Fed, housed, stroked, sunbathing ^_^'
I really like the grainy look of the wall, and it gives the landscape a feel of dizzyness like what you get in summer, when it's so hot that there's those waves of heat hovering above the ground, and you wonder whether you should go out or not. Really nice job :)
Do you need more favs ? Anyway here's one ;)

Woah reminds me of Lawrence of arabia where the Lawrence is just looking beyond to the desert horizon and theres nonthing to be seen. Although this wall doesnt have a desert it just gives me the feeling, lovely attraction i get from this and especially love love love the cute cats, but corgies are what i want ^_^ Lovely job Tama! :)

Wow...from the thumbnail it looks nice and subdued, but when you actually look at the real thing, those colors just jump off the page...err, screen at you. They're so vibrant! Maybe it's just the color of the background, but wow. I love it. Great job with the textures, too, and those cats are just so darned cute. It's good to be a cat person. Kitties are medicine for the soul...too bad you sometimes also need medicine for the scratch marks. ;)
