Welcome to my first all-painted wallpaper. I wanted this to look like an oil painting: soft lines, smoothe colors, nothing rigid. I've had this scan forever, I think I got it from Project Zen back in the day...anyway, it's a great pic of Yuuko, Himawari and Sakura napping in the sun, but the scan, while big, was SO PIXELATED that it was almost hopeless. Here's a piece of the scan (I really think you should look at it):
This wall was almost entirely done with the smudge tool and and round brush. I even smudged the birds so that they fit in with the style. The hardest part was making the heavy black lines blend in without turning her skin into a nasty mess. I painted over them with a dark peach at very low opacity and then smudged it togethter.
This wall took about 12 hours total. I started it with just the mouse (boy did that suck) and part way through got a graphics tablet, which sped up the process A LOT and made things much easier.
Here's an attempt at a walk-through of my work if you're interested:

Some of the smudge-ness bothers me :/ ((I know, I know, that's the effect you were going for)) but the whole wall looks pweety, the clouds are cool, I <3 'em

Nice painting. It looks quite smudgy. And some of Sakura's outlines and the pillow's are not that appealing. It sort of smudgy and blurry as well. You should should work more with it. I love the hibiscus, but you should give more depth to it. The sky looks simple and okay. Giving some details on the clouds will make it stand out against the whole atmosphere. Anyway, great job and good luck for the contest! :)

Lolol. Why use a pixellated scan when there's a good one here >D
Hmmm. About the outlines, I think that they are a little bit messy because of possibly some oversmudging (which isn't necessarily a bad thing)
But if you ever wanted to have "smudgey" outlines without having to ruin the colours with black and mix it all in, simple solution: new layer, pentool> vector all outlines >duplicate layer > hide first layer for reference > smudge duplicate layer.Nevertheless it's quite nice :)

It's so pretty... great work at painting!~ :D
But but... I think Sakura's mouth is a bit weird... it's kind of funny... XD
Also, the sky is not painted, right? There's a contrast between the painted and the not painted part... it kind of stands out. >_<
But you did a really beatiful work with the painting, it does look like a picture I'd hang in my wall. XD
Good job! ^-^

AMAZING job at fixing up that pixelated scan! It's nice and painted now, while also matching up well to your painted background ^_^

I like the soft painty feel of this, esp on Sakura's hair :) Though some parts look a bit over-smudged (like on Mokona and places on Sakura's dress, and the outlines). Also, the wall behind her, although it's a nice touch, looks over-smudged, that it's losing the stony texture. The hibiscus, I agree with gaara that it needs a bit more depth with shading.
Just a question: did you smudge everything on one layer or different layers?
good luck on the contest! ;)

I really liked the concept in here, but I must agree with MapleRose that it may have been a bit over smudged. At the same time I agree too with Garra that maybe there should've been a more depth with the shading because that's how usually sunset like area are unless it's the afternoon. I actually even agree this piece or work for the contest is better than the one I'm about to submit. **shuddders at the thought of my wallpaper**
Good luck in the contest. :)

I too agree with MapleRose and Gaara and everyone else that it is oversmudged. Use layers
Nonetheless, it's very pleasant to look at, if not a bit fuzzy. -

it looks so soft
i like the brush-like fuzziness
it makes the whole piece seem very dreamy, just like the sleeping sakura
thanks for sharing! -
