w00t! I can't believe I finished this! I started in Feb and after outlining Horo's face and hair I dropped it.
I was so lazy to finish this but yesterday I was sooo bored I picked it up again. XD
You can notice the changes in the outline. Everything except Horo's face, arms and hair is made with thin lines. That's how my vectoring is right now. The lines are getting thinner...
Everything was going okay until I noticed that things were looking too plain if I did it according to the original scan.
So I decided to do it my way.
The books, for example, had no shading at all, so I did it myself. I also did other things like adding shadows and
lightning to the area around the candle. And so on...(though I don't know if you can notice it since the original
size is so big, things were probably lost in the resize process...)
And then...the wood! The part where I had more fun and also more trouble. The original scan just hints that it's wood by the use of color but it was so simple I decided to paint it. I didn't read any tutorials or such, I did it through the experience I have with the smudge tool in coloring drawings in PS. I think it looks okay. I was a bit troubled that some parts look rather different but since it turned out good I'm fine with it.
Finally, I added textures to make the wall a bit more lively. I have such a hard time picking up the textures to use ^_^'
So, I apologize for the long description. I'm just happy with the final result ^^ One of my best works I think.
Enjoy! C&C always welcome ^.^
*Please full-view. I put a lot of effort in this one!

oh ho! its Horo! :D she's really pretty for being a wolf :D
well i just like how you vector almost everything! even the background you vector it too! XD
i like the sharpness of colors + the cleanliness of the vector.
the outlines are just great since there is no rigid lines.
the best part of this is the textures used in the bg but i much prefer if you
used the texture to Horo too! XD and it will be perfect :D
double love for the widescreen version ;)
