Otanjoubi Omedetou Sinever ^_^ (Early) Happy Birthday!
Hope you have a great birthday, lots of presents and that you spend it with the ones
you love most ;D
Really, I'm no good at these messages ^_^'
Here it is! My newest Kobato work! And this one was a bit harder than my other one
I started this one in the beginning of February and finished it pretty quickly. I've been waiting ‘till
Sin-chan's b-day to upload it, but I'll get busy soon so, uploading it now ^^
Picked a scan that screamed Spring! since it's been raining non-stop here, and I want the sun to shine bright
again! I guess I miss those sunny days :P
Reconstructed and extended the scan, I took out Ioryogi-san since he wasn't necessary for what I had in mind. And I
used colored lines for the first time! I mean, I've used them here and there, but just for minor details.
The hair took me the longest, next to the bg. But the hair wasn't hard I had lots of fun! I love Kobato's hair
<3 I didn't exactly follow the scan when coloring it though. I did it my own way, adding more shadows and
highlights... T_T Since I used colored lines and the lines are thin, they aren't that visible near the darkest
color... :sweat: Well, some highlights aren't visible thanks to the clouds either xP
I tried to make her eyes close to the way CLAMP does them, sorry if they look weird!
Anyway, I so wanted to paint this at first but my wrist/arm isn't in the best condition, nor I had the patience to
paint at all...Plus it's been a while since I've fully vectored something (I need a break from painting) and I
like how the hair looks like vectored ^_^
Okay, the real reason I wanted to paint this was for the hat! The hat is horrible! Nyuun~ ;__; I didn't even have
patience to think how I could color it, I just followed the scan for this one.
Then, my biggest challenge! The background! I did the clouds first but it looked so empty with only them. Sorry if
they're big! I made them unconsciously and liked out they looked ^_^' So I started sketching some mountains
and some grass field or so using oil pastel brushes. Then I tried to make flowers, as to make a flower field. I think it
didn't come out that bad...I mean, I didn't use any reference.... But I know it looks horrible, specially
those mountains! I'm too lazy to search for tutorials and follow them >_<
Then, I added some sparkles just to give it a dream like atmosphere. It was odd having birds flying around so close like
that, so I tried to make some sense by naming it "Fairy Tale". It looked too busy, so I'm uploading the
version without sparkles.
It sure doesn''t look like Spring... ^^'''
Nyuun~I always try to make short descriptions but fail! orz
I hope you like your present, Sin-chan =^^=

Wow, your really improving. I'm so happy to see that!
I love Kobato so much, I'm so glad more people are giving her
attention. I loved this scan when I saw it and hoped someone would
attempted it, I'm glad to see it was you and you did a great job.
Your getting alot better at handling this big, messy scans and I'm glad
to see you've been doing harder bgs as well.
I can't help but think of my own walls when I see this bg,
the field and mountains is something so common to me.I have to say though, you did it better than me. The wide view,
large perspective and all is much more out there.
I love how she's right in the middle, it's good that you decided to give
her that attention.
The only thing I would bark about is the mountains size, they seem
really big and I think had they been smaller it would have given it a even more
larger outlook.
Still, a gorgeous wall and much kudos for pulling it together. -

the flying hair caught my eyes even in the thumbnail... the background is nicely done... n don't worry about the eye... if u didn't mention it... i thought it was CLAMP original.... for I didn't have any trouble as it being CLAMP's work at the first glance
bravo! kudo to ya =)

The wall is looking great! Kudos for the vector and background!
I think I agree with you that the hat is a bit..off, but it fits with the style of the whole wall quite well. The mountains are, IMHO, a bit too "peaky", but the flower field is great.
It blew me away even if I only saw the thumbnail. :D
