Widescreen version highly recommended, 'cause
it's the best.
Since it's still summer holiday, I figured I have enough free time to finish
some projects. Most of them are b&w manga scans, so expect a lot of
vectoring and/or painting -_-" This is dedicated to Shadows, since
I've been postponing the collab for such a long time and I feel bad T_T
This one is from Omamori Himari, a manga about a neko-like spirit protecting a spirit hunter (yeah, this paradox is what most the manga is based on). I'm not too fond of the manga itself or the artwork, since all it does is introduce new girl spirits (which are either big-boobed and naive or lolis). Basically, the plot's poor, in my opinion. I did like this image, with Himari's hair fluttering in the wind, so I saved it for vectoring.
I don't like Himari's original hair color, which is a strong blue, so I made it green ^_^ The background was going to be a regular day one, with white clouds and blue sky, but it contrasted too much with her hair and skin color. Midway, I got bored of vectoring and decided to paint the shadows on her. The sky also looked boring, being only a gradient, so I painted that too, to create the illusion of clouds ^_^
Hope you like it, everyone! Comments and favs are very appreciated and welcome :3 Feed the artist~! XD The artist needs love!

The scan you used is really nice. Vector = flawless. I love the whole calming and relaxing feel that this wall is giving off. Weeds... lol... it looks great. Weeds look like that? Everything in this wall really flows and fit together. And yay, there`s a widescreen version!
Ooooh, this is beautiful! And I can really see how Hotel California inspired this - it's really evident.
The painting/vector is amazing! I really love the color scheme - it's like a desert brush-like place sunset (I live in one, being a Southern Californian X-P)
Very nice! :)
OMG this is soooooo cute and soooo beautiful and soooooo great...thanx...
The vector is absolutely wonderful. I love the colours and their soothing effect...It is melancholic. The drawing is simple and it holds a lot of power within those simple lines.
Congratulations! :-)
