mountain's red leaves

This is my entry to Paint-o-Rama's Feudal Japan
contest.
I found the scan to be
interesting in composition - the simplicity in the trees framing a round bridge with a geisha made a not-so-typical
scenic setting, plus the orange-y autumn colors were quite refreshing. This wallpaper was basically extended in
Illustrator, repainted (twice - once for watercolor and once for blending) in Painter, and then post-production was
completed in Photoshop. You can see the details in my step-wise tutorial.
I found the haiku with Google - originally I was looking for one by Basho, but I found an excellent resource for Issa
haiku that was even sorted by seasons - perfect for finding a fitting fall poem for the setting.
More resolutions for the not-so-widescreen crowd
