I really like the festive feeling to this. The background seems perfectly fitting for the scan and where it is placed. Nice work!

I know this doesn't seem like it took a lot of time...But it did...Vectoring Nobu�© and Chika wasn't that long, the outline was fine, but the the hair was a pain. I decided to add textures to the kimonos to give them a more realistic look.
Once they were traced and colored, I had to put a background behind them. I don't know how many versions I tried. A mountain, a forest, trees, lanterns...nothing work, I looked for stuff and didn't find anything that I liked. I knew I wanted fireworks and a starry sky, but what else was I going to put...After almost giving up hope, I found these great cityscape brushes over at Brusheezy (http://www.brusheezy.com/brushes?o=downloads) and decided to use them.
The original brushes didn't have windows, so I added them to the silhouette of the buildings to give them a more night kind of feel.
All in all, I know it's not perfect, but I'm still fairly happy with this. Maybe, someday in the future, I'll try another background, but for now, it's staying the way it is.
