My entry for 
's freindship
walling/doujinshi contest.
I know, it's very...pink, heh heh.
When KANJU announced the theme of their contest to be friendship, I already had this scan in mind. I'm not sure why, since we don't see Lacus and Cagalli together that often in the series. However I think their similar experiences make them able to relate to each other very well, and I think their friendship is an unspoken bond (hey, that's a good name, I'm gonna use it! It was originally "Sakura Promise").
This vector took me a while...some of the outlines are coloured, which is hard to do when working with shape layers. But it looks better this way. And needless to say, Cagalli's hair took less then a third of the time Lacus's hair took. Her hair is cascading across the Sakura petals (lol, for some reason the term "cascading" came to me when I was vectoring Lacus's hair. It is, isn't it?)
I'm disappointed again with the colours...they look perfect in the PSD file, however after I save the image for web as a jpeg the colours all change and I don't like it. But this is the best I could do. I guess I have to live with it.
The Sakura petals in the background I vectored from a Cardcaptor Sakura scan. I know they have a very soft soft look compared to the vector, but I wanted a softer background, to keep the focus on Lacus and Cagalli. If the background wasn't soft it wouldn't look right.
Well not much else to say right now. I have a ton of other works to get started on. So here's the stats of this wall:
Time:
-Outline: 8 hrs 15 mins
-Colouring: 6 hrs
-Other: 2 hrs
-Total: 16 hrs 15 mins
Layers: 61
Other versions and sizes:

Hope you enjoy minna-san! *Yawns* I gotta go take a nap :P Comments, faves, and full views are super appreciated! <3
[EDIT] I apologize if it's bright, I had the brightness on my monitor at 0 when I made this ^_^' My eyes tend to hurt. I forgot to fix it beforehand. Now I have and the wall does seem a little bright.
[EDIT2] I updated the background and changed all the flower petals. I think it looks much better now! (Note: I didn't fix the alternates yet.)

WOW
lovely vector XD
well done :) -
Wow! This realy went well here. :o This wallpaper should aalready be in the elite gallery because the outlines are so straight. *_*
As for the background I thought it was pretty simple since I had nothing in mind for it too. OX
Well can't wait to see you get up on your next vector. I think you shouldn't stay up until 4:49am to finish the Lacus vector (which I did for the Cagalli x_x). I kind of regret doing that, but hope you get maybe 2 or 3 times more faves than my Cagalli. :3

:o they if friends seem to be enough! Good choice! ;)
Now I have a little time because I have to make the scan a vector of Lumaria;) I hope that I am the only one that does it! Muahahaha >3
Good! This one is a completely good vector! I like it since you I occupy petals of Sakura, since these are seen so well there! =3
Continue this way!

Beautiful vector <3
I like the petals, and it's sooo pink! I think Cagalli stands out too much, since she's not pink, lol.
Overall, fantastic wall
