My entry for 
's October contest. Theme: fall
leaves.
*Warning* Will probably be a long description/rant.
Well just in time, here's my entry for the October contest. I already know who's going to win the contest (and it's not me) but I like to participate. Now, I guess I'll start with the vector...
I'm really obsessed with Clannad right now, so I had to do something for it. I chose this image of Nagisa because it's a lovely picture, plus the colours were suitable for a fall wall. The vector was fairly easy, I completed it in two nights. The hardest part was redrawing the part of her left arm that was covered by text in the original scan. (Don't look at that arm! That's an order!) The original scan was also very bright. I partially cropped the image for this wallpaper.
The wallpaper. Originally this wallpaper had a totally different concept. Nagisa was lying on a wooden bench, there were leaves on the ground, and she was letting a butterfly go free in the air, so the butterfly appeared to be flying towards the screen. However, that didn't work out. Since there still has to be wings in the wall, the butterfly has been demoted to a small place in the corner. Sorry, Butterfly-san.
The leaves were painted from scratch by me. I realise they look fake. Yes, I realise. The grass was done with brushes, and I wasn't sure how to make nice-looking dappled shadows so I just tried. Oh, and Butterfly-san is also vectored. I know this wall isn't the greatest. And it's definetely missing something. But I don't know what to do about it. I have a creative mind, and there are so many wonderful walls I wish I could make. Unfortunately I don't have creative hands; I just wasn't given that talent. I hate it, but I still like walling. So long as one person can look past this wall's imperfections and like it enough to use it, I'm happy.
For this wall...I give myself 2 points for effort, and 1 point for the vector. 3/10. Needs improvement...
A huge thanks to my friends at MT: abul, Omone, and moonescape, who gave me advice on this wall while I was making it. If it weren't for them this wall would have been totally different (in a bad way)! Thankies guys! *Hugs* A thanks also goes to the people in Session Zero at AP, who helped me out with their comments on this wall. Arigatou!
