Happy belated birthday, Kairi-chan! Wah, how late is this? Let's see...1 month and 26 days? Something like that. Could be worse? Heh heh~ And my first work of the new year!
So I was inspired by Kairi's Clannad X-mas wall to also redo a character's clothes. And I loved Zange in this scan but I'm not a fan of the swimsuit fanservice. So I decided to dress her up :D I created the clothes completely from scratch. Sketched it first then vectored it. It was all easy and fun except I was a little unsure about where the shadows would go, but I tried my best. And I'm obsessed with argyle socks so I had to throw them in. I also changed Zange's mouth because, I don't know, this is cuter and suits her better ^^ (If I were to rate the top 3 Kannagi girls, Zange would come in last. Not because I don't like her or anything. And I truly adore her character design. But Tsugumi is love <3)
The vector was finished a while ago. And I had an idea for the background. Great. Now comes the part I always dread. Making the background a reality, ha ha. So after a month or so of trying to make trees, no luck. I tried every shortcut way i could think of to make nice painty trees. Finally last night I said screw it. I'm just going to doodle and see what happens. And whaddya know! Decent looking painted trees? I was like huh. I guess putting forth effort can actually work sometimes. So when I was done with the trees, I did a simple painted sky and wispy clouds, added a little snow...Googled "lamp post", found one, stuck in in the wall and painted over it. Painted some little leaves on the trees. Made some adjustments and it was done! 5 hours straight. Easier than I thought and I'm happy with it. What are the chances. Now it's 4 AM and I have work in the morning :P
In my mind the wall takes place in early December, in the daytime. But it could also pass as evening since the lights are on :P Oh, and I would love to hear feedback about the background. Now that I've discovered I can do some things when I actually try, I might attempt it more...
In short, made the outfit and the background all from scratch, and hope to do more walls like this ^^ Kairi-chan I hope you like it and I know you'll continue to inspire me with your amazing and original works ^^

your trees are fantastic! omggggg how did you do them teach mee! wtf people with crazy mouse painting skills i hate you >]
the only thing i woudl change is the gradient in her hair, i think it washes her out. i think it should be more saturated like either more blue or yellow or something. lol you changed her mouth XD
Very nice wall I loàve the background the trees are good and zanger is very cute!
I love the simple lines and the colors the texture version is my fav!
I love your wispy clouds. They're always fun to look at ^_^ Nice job dressing up Zange in winter themed clothes other than the typical swimsuit.
