Looks very pure indeed ... I like how you did the snow and the overall painty pastel look.
It's a calming wallpaper you've created, great work!

*Pure Light feature at HnS*
tut i wrote for it--> http://www.deep-mirrors.org/tenshi/watercolortut.jpg
And again..we find starrliteangel making a wallpaper during final exams week instead of studying spanish.
*Ughhhh...I hit another link, and my entire wallpaper description disappeared...-__- darn, I really dont feel like typing everything up again. *
gahhh this wall was supposed to be a quickie...why did it take me 10 hours.. T_T
Ok, first, let me explain the title. Ice and Snow comes from the name of a play that Daisuke and his schoolmates are supposed to perform. (however, Daisuke's family later finds out that its actually called Ice and Dark, and the ending isnt so happy) the quote "purity...or death?" comes from the part in the manga where Dark/Daisuke is on his way to steal the second hand of time, and Daisuke explains the story of Ice and Snow to Dark. Daisuke says snow represents Purity, but Dark says that snow can also represent Death.
I was actually experimenting with this wall...I wanted to see if I could achieve a watercolor look in photoshop. I dont have painter, and Ive always wanted to make a watercolor wallpaper. The entire wall was made from scratch, although I did get the outline of daisuke and some of the snow from the manga scan
--> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/starrliteangel/D_N_Angel20v0720ch0120-20056.png
the outlining wasnt so hard...it was just the coloring that was a pain in the butt. I was having a lot of problems to
get it look water-colory, and PinkPrincessLacus came to my rescue when she reminded me that the brushes can have a
"wet-edge" setting. (thanks sam, that helped so much *hugs*) I really hope I got the watercolor look I was
going for!
Daisuke's clothing was so hard >.< I couldnt find a colored scan that had that had him with that exact
clothing on, (although I do remember seeing a colored scan that was part of the chapter from which I got the scan I
used...but he had a green shirt and the cloth in his hand was orange...and I thought it would look ugly against the
blue) so I just used some simple colors..khaki and orange X-P
well, my descriptions getting kinda long, so enjoy!
oh, the texture is from DA! Desktop Anime. thanks for the use!
some thanks to.... ~ inREVERIEforever - for helping me pick where to put the text! Thanks!

Your watercolor effect is pretty well done and the background you made is very nice! ^_^
The thing I personally like best are both the sky and all the snow :)
