This won me over simply for how you fixed up the horse. That alone is worthy of great praise, but here you go and make a godly wall that rules over all. This is probably one of the best walls I've seen in a long time. A looooong time. I keep looking this over for anything that could possibly need improvement and every time I do so, I fail to find anything wrong with it at all. Just a gorgeous looking wall with great scenery and a beautiful scan. Excellant work, Candy-chan.

My only regret is I couldn't write a longer comment for you

Too much negative space!
EVERYTHING MUST BE FILLED!

haha.

All in all this is an awesome recreation of the scene from the scan.
A lot of work seems to have went into recreation the missing parts and it shows.

Personally though I would've liked some more detail in the grassland behind them. Like more texture on in the blades etc.

The sky is fine as is, but again since im a hater of the simplistic, a texture could've been used to make it look more painty? Oh well it fits damn good with the scan anyway.

In the end, this wall is just awesome, and I think more people should get inspired to try out painting in their wallpapers. This is seriously a style that we are all forgetting, and it is essentially one of the basic fundamentals of art.

That being said, everyone should join paint-o-rama so we can have a grand time painting things and working together to be better people! ^^

Where can I get the 1600x1200 version?

Wow, that got a fav from me even before I clicked open the thumbnail The scan is beautiful, though a little unusual. I can't agree with the combination of clothes and accessories that she's wearing Great work on the horse head too, it's impossible to tell that it was recreated. I think it would have been better if the background was a little more flashy, but it does well within the boundaries of the walling contest. So great job and thanks for sharing ^_^

*Adds to Favourites*

wow, the recreation of the head looks amazing the background looks lovely and gives of a nice atmosphere i like the nice colour scheme you used and you did really wonderfully on the painting the flowers add a nice touch and i like the theme you protrayed in your wall amazing wall ^^

i can't see the horse's mouth, cuz it's covered with a flower
i wanted to wall this too, but i didn't know how i should manage the missing parts of the scan x__x
anyway, you did great job on this one :3

nice recreation, gosh.. no one wanted to wall this before because of the cut horse face (including me. ^^) vegetation.. err.. is sakura petals? hehe.. anyway, the painting is really hot! by brushes, as in brushes?!? gosh, you people are gods.. ^^

*snoops off to see the group contest announcement*

It's a very gorgeous wall..
The scan was recreated very nicely. I love the colors and hues, and the bg is very pretty, not an overwhore nor too plain, just right, simple, and sweet.
And I love the flowers. They look so cute!

Beautiful wallie, candy-chan!

Wow! I love this wallpaper! Thanks for such a great wallie! Keep up the hard work!

Beautiful! I wish I could make such wallpapers! *favs*

Oh my Gosh, I just love the scan and I really wanna make a wall from it but I totally can't... Ouh, this wallpaper is such peacefull and calm, and the girl is very beautifull too. You did a great job painting the half of horsie's head, alltough it looks kinda fat. But it's okay. The colors are very calm and peacefull, the flowers are like glowing, so beautifully. And the hills are beautifully painted. Awesome job! Keep it up!

very well done. it's crazy how detailed it is. O_o crazier how you did the rest of the horse and all the sakura

You did it! Looks great

Oh God! It's so beautiful, I know the scan you made a great work with it, it's great Congrats +fav

prettyyy ~~ and you repainted part of the horse's head? wow.. that must have been quite a bit of work X__x

Personally I think you should given the mountains a bit redder tone to fit with the sky, but other than that this is gorgeous <3

Now this is definitely an example where painting comes very useful. Awesome job on extending the horse, love the glowing flowers and the hills on the background looks good - great soft colour choice.
Simply beautiful, congrats! ^^

nice wallpaper, the colour of the sky is very pretty and the scene is very good.
