A promotional wallpaper for Simple-ism's Inspiration Project.
What inspires you? When you look at that blank canvas, what gets you started? Is it another wallpaper? Is it a commercial design? Is it another art style? Is it music? Simple-ism's Inspiration Project invites you to examine what inspires you, and to create wallpapers in tribute of them.
I had actually scanned in this image from HachiKuro manga v6 a week or so before I began talking with Flyin' about this project, but it fit so well. (Originally it was going to be a tribute to overcoming artist's block.) Hagu staring at a blank canvas - a whole row of oversized canvases. It's intimidating, and yet she manages to find the drive to create beautiful works of art.
I decided to color the outlines a darker shade of the base color instead of a dark near-black shade to keep the image light and maintain the pastel palette. After fiddling with the background arrangement, I decided not to put in all the other items in the room (paint buckets, ceiling lights, cloth-draped tables) to keep the focus on Hagu.

    Ah~ Lovely fitting concept. But I would have seen something...bigger with this lol. To me this image would have been a great opportunity to easily slap different "inspirations" on each canvas. Like having an idea growing on every canvas, them all being your sources of inspirations. The other thing is on a technical note~ To me it looks better in thumbnail mode ( haha, not that it's ugly in big mode >_> ) but I feel like the vector could have been thinner, more detailed and with fine lines. And those paint splotches are so somewhat typical o_o; I would have thought Hagu's board- or however you call that thing- more desordonated and full of funky color mixes.
    anyways it's a big thumbs up for the idea!

    Great wall and concept, Tama-Neko! :)
    This is just a fab wall. Everything looks so harmonious together.
    The canvas, the chara, the colors, and the great vectoring.

    The chara reminds me a lot of Tsubasa in Kare Kano. XD
    I can't say anything more about this wall except: beautifully done.

    When I see this...it reminds me of what my tap teacher used to say: "Artis painted on the canvas of blankness". Something like that. I really like that idea and everything looks simple and just really pretty.
