Artist Comment

First off...

SHINNDOU.COM HAS STARTED!

Yes. After months we've finally started, so go check it out.
To the wallpaper: this thing was actually completed a few weeks ago, I was keeping it safe until Shinndou.com would kick in so here it is. I always wanted to make atleast one wallpaper about Aria which is probably my most favorite slice of life serie along with Mushishi. It's hard to hate Akari and her friends. :)

Akari got vectored off this scan, which actually had a different pose so I just went and changed her pose redrawing her central part, and her clothes as well. Poor Aria President (the animal in the original scan) was too white and awkward for the kind of idea I had in mind, haha. The background has been entirely drawn and painted from scratch, it was rather fun and I am slowly getting the hang of it, at painting through photoshop. I also pimped Akari a bit to make her shine and look even more cute.

And that's it, for further resolutions, you can now visit Shinndou.com!
Enjoy!

P.S. Big shoutout to grayserg for being an awesome friend and partner at shinndou, to Amroth for having a tremendous amount of patience and to the IRC crew of friends for being insane people to hang around with. :)
P.P.S. I am really sorry I can't edit anything of this wallpaper because I'm currently using a small laptop which doesn't really allow me to even start photoshop, lol. As for the water/sea, that was actually my first attempt at it. Oh well, practice will make better, I think.

It's amazing what a good bit of vectoring can do. Not only has ShiNN vectored this to perfection, but he even altered the scan to fit it the way he wanted it. Even better, it looks perfect.

The bright nature of this wallpaper is perfect for Akari. The bg is unbelievably well painted and it's almost hard to believe it was made from scratch. This wall has been well-composed and produced. This has to be one of the best Aria wallpapers we've seen to this day.
