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!
