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 >.<
