Hmm... it somehow reminds me of a winter romance. XD
Well, I have to say I prefer the texture-less version. It's somewhat... cleaner?

Artist Comment
Dedicated to entity1660. Why? For many reasons. First reason, I owe her. Second reason, I still feel bad for vectoring a scan that she's doing. Most important reason? She's one of my great friends here <3 Thanks for always being someone I can look up to, my onee-san, and a role model for all other vectorers as well as me! :)
Also my entry for 
November contest. Theme: winter
romance. (Okay, so it doesn't look very romantic. But it's Sakura and Syaoran, alone in the middle of nowhere,
enjoying the first snow together.)
Now for all the usual description stuff, huh? Hm...
First off, this is the most time-consuming vector of my entire vector career. 29 hrs, beating my previous 22. I didn't expect it to take quite so long (I estimated 20 hrs), but I guess it's because I spend so much time on every detail. Even though in the end, you can't really tell. (Abul-kun said he could do it in 6 hrs; he's probably right x_x).I hate frills >_< There's all kind of lighting effects here, on their hair, the sword, even their clothes, but you can't see it much. 3 hours was spent on colouring the staff alone, because I tried some of that multi-layered vectoring that gives it a painty-look. My first time doing that, you can tell me how it went.
The original scan had text and boxes covering parts of it, so getting around that was a bit difficult...but I've done much harder reconstruction before so this wasn't so bad. I don't know what else to say about the vector except it took too long x_x
Now the wall. I tried some more painting. I know I'm not that good, but I'll improve, right? I painted the snow and mountains myself (I like the mountains on the right), and the clouds were part of another scan that I painted over. Oh, and the tree was from a Kanon scan but I also painted over it. I do realize that the wall seems kind of empty; however I realized the more I add to walls, the worse they get. So a nice simple wall will do, I guess.
Issues:
(a) You might be thinking that for this to be the first snow, there's too much snow. Well you're wrong!
What's ironic is that while I was making this wall, it snowed for the first time. And it snowed a LOT. Here's a picture of it just
after it started, and it continued (it's still snowing right now, days later). Kya, I love snow! I was so happy
when it first snowed...*goes into Fuuko starfish mode*
(b) You might think Sakura would be cold in this outfit. But I believe if she can rollerblade in the winter in her
short-skirted seifuku, then she'll be just fine.
(c) It seems now that I adjust my monitor settings, you can't see the painted snow as much. I may update that
later.
I knew this description would be long >.<

Textured version for me. ^_^
I can't believe there's 56 layers just on the staff! It's worth it though, all the details on this wall look great. :) -

Aww, the vibrant green grass of the original made the setting warmer~ but I liked the snow too, it's like it more classy~ >w<
I liked the textures version better~ :D
Just remembered I saw a 6 year-old boy wearing a syaoran cosplay a while ago~ random, right? Anyway~ XD
Great job on this! >u< -

lols, I'm glad someone well did a vector of that one because I was goig to do it if no one had done it early ^^
Well anyways I agree very well with MapleRose pointing out about the detail on the wand. Plus the lower bottom of them maybe needed shadows or some kind of shade. ^^;
Though a **good** highlight and good job! Plus I can't post it up on Vector-wallers since I'm on a strict haitus by not going on MT at all. x_x I really have to stop coming here form now on, but not forever. :(

aww ! the picture is so cute <3
you did a wonderful job on the vector , it's really clean and neatly done . (total eye-candyyy)
though for this kind of scan , a winter theme seems too .. random . (because the way you did the whole scenery seems like they're in antarctic of something)but nahh , overall you did a really nice work , both the painting and vectoring ; )

I'm not even sure where to start with this... it looks beautiful! I'm sad that it isn't in wide-screen format, because I'd love to have this on my background. The vectoring is smooth and delicate, and I personally think the snow gives it a nice touch. It's gorgeous ^_^

This wallpaper got my vote in that contest that you enetred into. ASH-Hikari, you have done it again. Another amazing vector you have here (anda wallpaper to boot!). They definitely look like brother and sister in this (Sakura and Syaoran, that is).
I really admire your works - so keep it up!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! -
