My entry for Paint-o-Rama's "Let there be Light" contest.
Yes, it's loli-tastic. I dedicate it to Osi just because of that. Actually, I
chose the scan because I
decided to go for the "light filtered through trees" sort of lighting,
and because it had a nice spring theme to it.
I won't comment much on this wall since you can read all about how I made it here.
In essence: scan extension + watercolor clone = happy fun fun wallpaper!
More resolutions at DA! Desktop Anime. But seriously: FEEL
THE WIDESCREEN LUUUURVE!
No, there is no "texture-free"
version. When you use watercolors in Painter, it pulls the paper texture
with it. In fact, Painter has dozens of nice paper, canvas, and other media
textures you can paint on, but I stuck with the basic paper texture since I
always think of watercolors being on paper, not canvas.
If you look at the zoomed in screenshots in the walkthrough, you'll see the
texture is there when you start painting. It has not been added in
post-production, although I did do some minor adjustments to the agressiveness
of the texture.

If that's a texture slaped on top of the wall then... I request a textureless version!
Ifnot then... err....Yay for POR entries wheeeeeeeeeee
OMG
thats really a great wallie
you have done it well
I love it
+fav
& best of luck in the contest
Textureless version, yes please! Otherwise, it's a great wallpaper. Keep up the nice work!
I'd have to agree with textureless version. I love the perspective and how you kept the style consistent throughout the wallpaper. It's great
Yeah, a texture-less version would be cool.
Excellent job on extending the scan =D
Was the texture supposed to be like a paper or canvas? Just wondering.
I have to agree with the above posters, great job naturally, and yay for widescreen!
I like the texture...
But this is awesome!
widescreen! (even though my monitor is 1280x1024. xD)
It's pretty and cute!
aww i don't know . cuz i kinda like the texture version.
It gives a sort of painted feel to it.
I hope spring comes soon ... it's coooold here in toronto o_O hehe
lovely wall.
nice one. I like it. fav
I am personally fine with the texture and it reminds me of chinese paintings on rice paper or something. The feeling is awesome and I wish I was her...sitting underneath a tree without brown snow in the grass...T_T
I was staring at the wall and trying to figure out why it looked like the branches were going down level to her feet... and then I realized it was because the branches and the girl all had the same focus. I usually don't like the distance blur look in walls, but in this case without it I definitely feel like the feeling of distance/depth gets lost a bit. Apart from that some of the parts where the green flower stems stick out directly from the thick brown branches look a little off, but I'm going to stop the nit-picky comment now because all-in-all it's still a lovely wall, and the scene is very pretty.
i like how your wall has depth and the nice watercoloured textured painted look
the painting has been done really nicely and i like how everything seems to
blend nicely
the
scenery is lovely and the atmosphere you created is really nice
lovely wall ^^
wow, i love the perspective
and i
love the flowers/cherry blossoms
i
love how you did this wall and the nice calm mood is really nice
nice
wall~^^
i like this atomsphere...
cherry blossoms and full of sense of spring
ooh pretty! I like the shadows on the grass ^^
hmm, the texture... I don't mind it, it gives a nice watercoloury feel, but I think it's a bit over-textured. and I kinda have to agree with flyin' about the perspective blurr thing, though I guess it wouldn't really fit with the painty feel...
anyway, I like the bright spring colours
nice
change to see in the middle of winter
I personally like the textures :3 maybe it's because i'm a texture whore :3
but I think the walls extremely well executed, as usual, and the painting is awesome *checked out tutorial*
I love the textures, and the shading...well everything, It is too neat to look down, the cherry blossoms are gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing! Looks like a nice painting! +Favs
I like how your painting technique went. You really handled it well to give the Sakura flowers shape and yet some depth with a little shadow. I like the different perspective because it's from the above. The frass shadows were really good and so was how you shaped the trees trunk. Definately a fave.
It is so nice
It
really has the spring atmosphere. Good job!
As usually from you, a gem for my wallapper collection- thanks a lot!
this was beautiful and it's a great wallpaper for a wide screen monitor ^__^
the sakura tree is really beautiful.. the painting is fantastic too. great job. period.
