Happy birthday Moon-chan! Well, belated birthday I guess :) Only belated because Photoshop is a very cruel and heartless program. (I lost 8 hours of work on this wall the night before Moon-chan's birthday.) But I don't want you to feel bad about it at all Moon-chan. You're worth it ;) I know Lacus is kind of a typical subject when it comes to gifts for you, but I chose to do GSD because I think we may have become friends in the first place because we both did a lot of Lacus and GSD vectors :)
I guess this is a kind of depressing wall for what's supposed to be a happy occasion. But I guess it's alright. I wanted to try and portray the slightly darker, sadder side of our songstress. Even the Pink Princess can get depressed; it happens to everyone and we all learn to deal with it in our own way. We can't let take over our lives.
Tsukiakari means Moonlight.
The original scan had text and bad colour so of course I vectored it. After that, I had to design the background. Basic scenario: Lacus is lying backwards on her bed, late at night, moonlight streaming through her window. I guess designing her room was fun. At first I just made the window, but the walls looked way too empty, so I gave them some colour, pattern, and paneling. Then I added a photo of Kira and Lacus on the wall. Then the Haro clock. Gotta love the Haro clock! Although it wouldn't really work :P I added a painting of sorts to the left of the wall, and added Kira and Lacus in the painting.
Everything in this wall is made from scratch, except for the painting (stock), and the moon/clouds (brush). Therefore I'm sure the perspective is kind of off lol XD Ah well.
I guess that's about it! I hope you like it Moon-chan, sorry for the lateness and I hope you had a memorable birthday ^_^

I'm truly sorry that I didn't come to MT earlier. People's birthdays are so hectic for me for the whole February and for the rest of the last days of this month as well. c_c
OMG, I can't believe you actually tried a concept of a depressed Lacus. I think in my opinion that rather suits me well. Since I've often been depressed as I go back home and all. Plus I'm often cooped up with the fact that school is making me do more. XD
You're still very creative with your techniques so that they can match with your wallpaper (as much as you can). Though I agree about the pictures there maybe quite off, but ya know we can't do everything, but somewhat get the feeling. >.< Btw, yeah I noticed they're some stock photos especially the one where Kira & Lacus are outside.
Sorry there's not much to say, its 2:37am for me and I should be heading to bed. I promised abul-chan after all I wouldn't stay up late at night just to photoshop so that's why it seems vectoring/wallpapers are the last of my problems. Thank you so much Ash-chan and I do hope to keep in touch with you more. ;)

Lacus looks very beautiful lying in the bed. Nice work^^. May I use it as one of my backgrounds in YouTube? I'll be glad if you do. Don't worry I write the owners of the layers in my channel.

It's beautiful! I like your explanation/theory/theme for the wallpaper, it really makes sense. But to me, her legs looks unproportionately long! ^^; Anyway. thanks for sharing! :)
