So here's the story:
I found this BEAUTIFUL scan of xxxHolic, but it was kinda 800x600 and blurred. I automatically thought I'll vector
this. But when I changed the size, to my astonishment the work looked like a manga blob rather than a CLAMP masterpiece.
So I started looking for something a bit bigger or less blurred. Well I found it, but it appeared to be cut (from half
of Yuuko's skirt, and just above her head, and some sofa on both sides) AND it had horrible colours (orange a
yellow only). So I merged the two, and tried to do my best recreating the bits missing in the better scan (after all
CLAMP is mostly about the lineart...) :)
After that came the coloring. Now, it's finished, hope you like it.
PS.I didn't find this scan on MT... ^_^' maybe I wasn't looking for it well...
Oh the different colours of the smoke made me think of Mr Tulip from 'The Truth' by Terry Pratchett
(confession: am a big Pratchett fan). It look so chemical, it made me think of mothballs(don't worry if you
don't understand... it's just my feeling towards the work)

What the heck? Why isn't this Elite status yet, it's so freaking cool! Awesome job with the detail, you are braver then me since I only do vectors if the image quality is pretty good. XD

Great vector work! I understand wanting this image to be high quality - it's kickass! ^^
Very nice job here. ^^ Yea, lines are CLAMP style all right. I guess it adds a lot of appeal to their art. -

Thanks for a great picture! You're right - the smoke looks like something right out of Discworld - I can just see Mr. Tulip with his mothballs in the background! ;-)

This is really beautiful! I have always, always admired Yuuko's clothes. They are always so beautiful and elegant. I love her outfit here too. You did a wonderful job in recreating it! I feel that it's so nice that it deserves to be highlighted or in the elite gallery. Anyway keep it up! Thanks so much for sharing! ^^ *adds to favs*
