i started this vector and painted wall in may and only finished it just now XD ack XD that was so long ago XD 7 months ago XD
i had to create the bottom of her dress [so it's made up] since in the scan, it stopped above her waist so i hope it looks ok >.< [i had to redo the bottom of her clothes so many times because it looked weird >_< ]
also, bits of her sleeves and hair had to be extended as well XD
the background [clouds] and foreground [flowers and grass] are painted using the soft and hard round brush and its my first try at painting so i hope it looks ok XD
there was a fair amount of smudging and bluring in this wall so that all the colours can flow and blend nicely together XD
the scan can be found -> here <- and this wall consisted of too many layers for me to count XD
the background [clouds] is meant to seem distant and soft so it doesnt take the focus away from the vector/character :)
i gave the flowers outlines however i didnt with the grass, mainly since i think it looks nicer without the outlines XD
with her clothes, i had done the base colour and then a shadow base colour then went over it with the drop tool to gather each little individual section of colour to make sure the colour is nearly the same as the original
i also used a reference image to help me with the background and foreground, the image was found on the net somewhere [not sure where since sis found it ages ago] so if anyone knows, please inform me so i can give credit :)
i also made the foreground and background differet so it would suit my liking ie: the extra flowers and a few bits and pieces at the front and the sky is a different shade of blue etc XD
in my previous wall, a couple of people have suggested for my wall to be textless so hope that you like my new almost textless painted vector wall XD
also, im a beginner at this whole painting thing so any pointers and advice is much appreciated :)
thanks for viewing~^^

This wallpaper has so much effort packed into it, if I were to make this my eyeballs would drop out XD
But seriously though, this is an excellent example of a wallpaper made because an idea was being pursued. The reconstruction of the scan, the high quality vector, the painted sky (looks really good :o) to the colours and flowers all work well making this well and truly "complete".
And to all aspiring artists out there, check out the (super excellent) description! So much time, effort and experimentation has led to careful decisions, resulting a wonderful submission. Well done, enchantment!

Her left eye is a bit weird but
nothing major.
Why did you put the sig on the
left so high and on her? it's kinda misplaced
and looks weird :\Anyway aside from that very nice
painting job, the flowers are beautiful
and very nice clouds, smooth and well put,
I'm happy you didn't fill it with clouds like most
artist.Very nice work, good to see something
from you <3 -

i like how the colours all blend nicely and the soft pastel look :D the bottom part of her outfit looks a bit awkward and there is a tiny bit of green spillage on the large pink flower on the bottom right [hope i didnt offend you ^_^'] the vector and painting is really well done and i like how you added the shine on her hand :) lovely wall ^^+fav

Nice, I love how you put the colors and the shadows.

A little odd with the flowers with outlines but blurry shading, but other parts are very well done, especially the clouds. Love the colour scheme btw.

I love the pastel shades, and I really like the flowers, they're so pretty. Good vector too. :D

Beautiful, genuinely beautiful. I specifically like the flowers surrounding her and the atmosphere itself suits Lacus [carnelian version] very well. Great job! XD

Gorgeous. I love the colors!

Chloe Retired Moderator Dec 20, 2007
Awesome job with the reconstruction! I love the background and the colors work really well together. The only things that bothers me are the scratchy lines on Lacus. Other than that, great job!

What an amazing reconstruction job! It's....just....WOW!
I love the colors and the flowers are a little bit too blurry...but they are gorgeous still.
As Chloe, the only thing that I don't like are those sketchy lines on Lacus.
Great wallpaper!

You did a great job on reconstructing the original scan- something like that takes a lot of patience and hard work. :D Keep it up!

kuroimisa Retired Moderator Dec 21, 2007
Like in the highlighted comment yah, and like brom, I think that this is an excellent example of just (uncompromisingly) going for something you really want to achieve on the canvas. All the things you have chosen were so carefully chosen, and the result is really great!
Hope to see excellent work like this in the future :D

can pass off as a painting all right :D good one for first try!
didn't really like the words blocking at the bottom and middle left though :P
so all in all..how long did it take? -

I think the "highlighted" explanation pretty much summed up everything for me ^_^' I really love this vector/wallpaper. Everything looks perfect together, and I have to say my favorite part of the piece would be the flowers. You rox my sox, enchantment XD

This was just an eyedrop. I couldn't believe how she reconstructed all of the lower part of the dress and remade it with a wonderful background of flowers. This is just excellent, beyond one of the greatest painted/vectored wallpaper I've seen and it deserves a highlight. Problem for me is that I'm using a crappy laptop that enhances the bright colors so I can't see all the details, but definately everyone should full view this. ;)
