Sometimes it's hard to find the ground
Cause I keep on falling as I try to get away
From this crazy world
-- February Song by Josh Groban
For 
's contest. I used two songs for inspiration actually, "February Song" and "The Sacred
Moon" (opening theme of Tsukihime). "The Sacred Moon" has no lyrics, but the gothic-sounding melody, as
well as parts of the opening animation where she's falling, helped me imagine the picture.
Why something like this? A while back I guess I was feeling a bit anxious and sad, feeling as if I can't fly on my own wings, and it gave me the idea of glass wings breaking apart as I'm falling (btw I'm feeling much better now ^^)... I've been searching for a nice scan to use, trying lots of stock images, but none of them had the right pose. Then I saw a Kunie scan, and the pose was perfect :)
I used two Kunie scans: RESET16 by kuroimisa for the head and body, and RESET14 by kuroimisa for the dress and legs, and stitched them together. All vectored (her cheek is from gradient), then textured slightly with some cardboard I scanned in ^^
The legs took be forever, 'cause I couldn't find a good angle for them ^^; I tried creating my own, but that ended up looking weird... and I fail at making glass look like glass ^_^' looks more like paper >.> which actually could fit the theme as well. And of course I can't draw wings either....
Was originally gonna do wide-screen, but can't find a good composition that works.. it looks better 5:4 But I did
make other resolutions:
1920x1200
1600x1200
Also made an alternate version, where the colours are more faded:
1280x1024 v2
1600x1200 v2
1920x1200 v2
