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!

What a beautiful wallpaper, this is so amazing! The colors blend perfectly, the sky is nicely done and the background it's really soft, your painting skills are very good.
It's nice to see the mix of the flowers and colors.
I absolutely adore the reconstruction that you made with the scan! It shows a great effort from you.
Great job on vectoring and painting Congrats! :) -

this is very nice and well worth the effort put ~ I absolutely love the painting of the clouds and the various shading colours for it . your overall colour scheme is soft and pretty <3
however I hope you don't mind a small crit ^^' , the sketchy shading lines on the character is a nice touch , but it could be done a bit neater , since the whole wall itself doesn't have a sketchy feel so I personally would avoid that bit . the flowers are really pretty and detailed , but it would be nice if the insides/shading of the flowers (on the front especially) aren't smudged/blurred too much , since it contrasts with the outlines , doing some cleaner and bolder shadings would make them look better .
but overall you've done a very great job on this and it's a really lovely piece to look at . keep it up ! -

Beautiful! Lacus looks very pretty.
And the 7 months result is really satisfying!

Woah, great, Enchant! >w<
I loved the painted clouds, they are so so wonderful~ the flowers and the girl too, so cool~ >w<
I just think her eyes could be a little more blurred... to match the painted feel and 'cause the white part is a bit jagged~ >u<
Really cool work, congrats!~ >u< -

This is super lovely! At the risk of echoing what has already been afore mention: you've created a wonderful wallie where you time and effort was well spent :D I especially like the way you incorporated the reference image, and the outline of the flowers!
If you're just a beginner, then I look forward to what else you come up with :D
Thanks for sharing! -

whoa, finally made it girl! wah, i remember the days we started with only a pink (or purple) themed wall (or maybe it was your twin? ^^) then suddenly evolved into something new. wow, i'm really proud of you, this is one amazing piece. :)

Thanks for sharing this =D -
DarthTofu Dec 24, 2007
Wow, I can definitely see why this is highlighted!
My favorite part is definitely the clouds. Great job with those!
Also, I usually HATE Carnelian art, but you managed to make it look pleasing. That's quite amazing.
I also love how it's detailed, but not overcrowded. Nice composition, though I'm not sure I like how the dress flows.
I like the attention to focus and blurring as well.So cool. Keep it up!

Very beautiful, but do not put your email down on a wall. It's too noobish and only ruins the wall!
You worked very hard on this and it shows. The vector is well done, although I would have preferred Lacus to have no sign of cross hatching on her. Yet if you were to do that, you would have probably died. XD
Loved your description, but try not to put as many smiles into it. Again, it is too noobish.
Nice job!
