Artist Comment

My first scenic wallpaper. I found the scan here in minitokyo >> Cute Redhead by lunaregina <<. This scan really inspires me to create a wallpaper for it. A heartful thanks here :D. Anyway, the extraction and cleaning really consumed me a lot of time, took me for about 7 to 8 hours T_T (sorry about that I'm not that pro). As for the background, I really focused on it, imagined how will I fit the character. The sky would not be possible without the help of this site >> http://memento.im-pulse.org/brushes.htm << Thank you very much for the wonderful brush :)! Oh :o, and the rainbow, this one really gave me a hard time. I just only used the gradient tool with the radial gradient checked ;). It's a trial and error attempt for me, since it's my first time to make one ^_^'. Then blend it with a Gaussian Blur. I also added some sparkling-like water (again thanks for the Deviant Art brushes) and a 'wing-like' to the character. The light you can see above her head is only made by filter effects, depicting a strong light source. There's also a thread-like or 'waves' in that wallpaper; lowered the visiblity and added some blur to it for some effects. Soshite, the bubbles...it's really part of my plan to put it there. I manually created them, as in one by one :) (What a patience ^_^' I have!) So you musn't be surprised if I said this wallpaper have 148 layers (wow, kinda didn't expected that ^_^').

For 3 whole days, I really enjoyed making this wallpaper. To sum it up, I'm pretty satisfied with the result. But I know this shouldn't end in there, because there's a lot of room for improvements! Your comments, suggestions, favs(?) will be much appreciated ^^! Arigatou.

.:Thanks PinkPrincessLacus-san for the lovely advice ;) :D:.

    Lol first of all the girl is really Kawaii XD... i think when you made this walllpaper.. you pictured her walking over the beam... lol to tell you the truth i got the impression that the beam is rather high XD... to me you should have added a little something at the bottom of the wallpaper to keep some sense to it XD...maybe adding grass or woodwork...

    But as to the wallpaper artistically i find it great for your first scenic attempt XDthe light source fix quite nicely and the clouds loos great ;)

    Great job!

    Nice Angle. Kawaii-scan ! >_< X-P :D :)

    It's so beautiful. Very heartwarming. :) I must say the lights and effects are the strongest and most tedious part there and it makes a deep impact..., the bubbles too ? Really impressive. Photogenic if i may say. ;) Cause the clouds are simply irresistable to behold. ;) Improvements... hrmm... leaving that to the vets. around. ;)

    Oh man, you recreate the feeling when a boy meets a girl for the first time. ;)

    *Thumbs up... 2 thumbs up*

    Flawless. Splendid. Lovely.

    Kinda ecchi though... And it looks that she's just jumped into water, only to do it again and again.
    However, I like the background, especially that rainbow. And her pretty face as well!

    Thanks for making and sharing it with us, orpheuz! Must be a hard work of you!
