The Sound of Snow Falling also happens to be the name of a track on the Kenshin OVA soundtrack -- a very beautiful one at that. Is that what you're thinking of?
Nice mood piece though :) I like it.

Fullview, please! Though I guess that really goes without saying... The colors aren't as dull that way.
Let's start with the stats...
------------------------------
Time: around 10 hours-? (I forgot to keep track some of the time...)
Layers: Including the individual vector layers it cleared 70, but I started
flattening some of it later.
Inspiration: The Sound of Snow Falling
from the Kenshin OVA.
The original scan is here. I know it's in the Tsubasa section, but since the characters in it are both from xxxHolic I put it in that section (and also I made the wall to fit the series xxxHolic more).
Everytime I try vectoring I want to curl up in the corner and cry ^_^' But what i did this time around was a combination of vectoring, painting, and cutting out textures to make the wall as I envisioned it. Yuuko's kimono is both painted and made of oriental fabric that was altered to give a very faint, delicate pattern to fit with the feel of the wallpaper. Her wings were also painted a bit and used a lot of paper texture to give it more depth and a sort of richness to it. And Mount Fuji in the background was originally scanned out of a book of Japanese prints at my house and repainted to make it softer like it might seem in the snow from a distance, including the refracted light in the misty air. The original image had cherry blossoms and fluffy balls of light every where, but I chunked out both of them in favor of snow. Also, the kanji on the side is supposed to say "Snow Fall". Overall I tried to make it look vaguely like a japanese painting or postcard. ^_^' I'm really happy with how this turned out. Hope you like it!

This definately does without saying. :o I'm qutie speechless, but I'll provide some.
I mean first of all the details here are just crazy. Yet this wallpaper has such a dreamy background and the colours clashing here is just perfect. It gives such a nice sense of feeling and I don't know how did you do it. :o
This really needs more faves than it's getting right now so please full view this!

very neat vector ^__^ I love the patterns of her kimono and wings, and the soft blending of the shading. The background is nicely made as well, the colours and theme matches well with the foreground. :) great work!

It's really beautiful, and the colors are great. It feels like night time in the image as well. The snow falling is a good subject too, and the fact that it was from Kenshin's OVA gives me the idea of that ova all over ^^
