...boo~ I fail...again!

Here's another little thing I did while taking a break from the Christmas Project.

I've always wanted to do something with that scan but I didn't know what nor how. I mean, my painting still sucks >_<
I'm sure you've noticed I'm not satisfied with my works lately...

So, after being inspired by the cold days here lately, I decided I should try and make a snow wall.
I think it's my second...not sure :nya: I thought it was a good chance to practice my painting skills and changing character clothes and that's what I did.

I changed Tomoyo's clothes to these since I just loved them ( yay for purple :3 ) and made some changes to the scarf :nya:
Outlines are vectored, everything else is painted...ouch, specially since I'm not confident in my painting skills, if I have any that is.

The scan wasn't the greatest quality when I resized it. I had to check some scans to make sure I was doing Tomoyo's hair the right way. I'm not sure that that's the same expression on the scan, but I couldn't care less. I love making changes :3
Anyway....Tomoyo was the easiest. Changing her clothes wasn't a problem, I thought it wold be harder actually... but then...ugh...I was never good at backgrounds.....
I think the leaves on the left side of the wall turned out a bit better than my first attempt some months ago....but I still suck at painting trees. Is that a tree? It looks like a lettuce!...
And that...lamp/electricity pole thingy, I'm not sure what's the word in english...It sure makes the wall less empty but I think I did an awful job at it >_< It looks horrible!
Well, I did the clouds the same way I did the ones in my last work, except I changed the strenght of the smudge tool. They somehow don't bother me that much anymore ^_^'
Oh and I'm not sure how the sky looks when it's snowing or about to snow, since I've never seen snow -_- So any help there would be greaty appreciated!
I wanted to make it a night wall at first but gave up on the idea since snow + dark colors aren't the best match.
Added little white dots here and there, then used the smudged tool a bit to make it snow-like. Quite simple...maybe even a little too simple :nerd:
I need to read some tutorials..I always avoid them...

The title means "Your place./The place where you're at" in Japanese.
The first thoughts were related to snow, storm and all that stuff, but looking at Tomoyo's expression again made me think she could be thinking of something much deeper than just a simple storm coming ^^

Now I must get my sleep. I haven't slept for 46 hours now... >.<
C&C is welcome as always!

    Wow, I love the perspective.
    Thats a small image of Tomoyo you used,
    I couldn't place it at first but when I saw the scan it hit me.
    I really love how well you vectored her seeing how small it was
    and I think you did such a nice job changing her clothes to match
    another scans.

    The clouds are very cute, maybe some blur to give distance
    and a flully look since they look kinda hard now.

    The left side where the leaves are I think some more
    darkening on the bottom of them would help, their looking
    too light overall and some darkening might help balance it out.

    Blur the wires a bit, they look too close to Tomoyo.
    Ah, and the street light doesn't need a light coming from it.
    It's day time and so theres no need for that light to be on ^^

    Overall it's a very well done wall, hope to see more
    of these open ones from you <3

    Oh,nice Clannad wall...I like the bg,looks really nice with soft blur on it...only I think it would be better if the street light had outlines like Tomoyo...But nice work none the less ;)

    Last but no least, the changing of her clothes is just awesome! I wonder how you did it~ XD

    I like the smooth screen texture but for my screen, I want a mirror version of it cause the icons on my computer screen are located on the left side of the screen or maybe I must be the one who should adjust the screen or the picture or something huh!?

  18. Haven100 49wk 2d ago

    Nice wall^^ you did great on the painting and the background looks pretty awesome! And I love Tomoyo^^

  19. smh1164 49wk 2d ago

  20. Omone 48wk 5d ago

    and you still saying you suck at painting? don't you dare! the background is just amazing XD
    And I am glad you changed her clothes. i was never really fond of the school uniform XD
    anyways a really nice and wonderful wallpaper =D

    Here's another amazing wall submitted in that time I was too busy to comment...look how long it took me to get to this!
    First of all, the clouds are WIN! Seriously, very nice painted clouds.
    Love the vector and how you changed the outfit. Tomoyo always looks great in scans and I love how you chose one that would usually be overlooked when it comes to wall making.
    This is wonderful work, I'm going to use this as my desktop soon while there's still snow outside ^^

  22. fgakakashi 21wk 1d ago
