YOU MUST FULL-VIEW AND COMMENT!
I have finally got to wall! And a fully painted one at that! :3
This is basically a sort of abstract doujin wall.. an original. I'm rather proud because I only took 2 hours to
complete it. :D Speed-paint wall, anyone? XD
I was playing with the 'scattering option' when I thought that it made a rather nice foreground..
Extended the er, flowerfield to fit it in a 1440x900 resolution,
Did the sky, birds, the girl (in several layers)..
Gosh was it fun to paint a character after so long.
Added ribbons ( 3 layers)..
Used colour layer to make it pinkish - original colour of her dress was blue.
Then the sunlight ( Once again, Maplerose's tutorial for moonlight, again converted to sunlight) ,
Did the light source which was surprisingly easy..
Sparkles ( gradient), tweaking around with the font,
Playing with overlay to make the sky more juicy..
Oh and I meant to add clouds, but they didn't really go well.. They're there but in really low
opacity.

Dedications:
My new friends over here have been so encouraging.. I would like to dedicate this to them, especially the one who put up
with my constant doodling and griping.. even giving me advice when I needed it despite the fact she can't
draw.
- Pande, I love you for sharing the same enthusiasm for art as me! LOL wait that sounds wrong.. Well, you're a
great friend and you might not know it, but you're among those who've helped me crack my shell... Thank
you!
- We haven't spoke much since last year.. >_< But a few weeks ago, you gave me the encouragement to
continue painting. I thank you! Hope we will get to talk again..
- Time to jump on the band wagon of dedicating walls to you.
XD But seriously, I can't avoid doing this - you've been such a pal at D-o-S. I admit I get a lil scared
chatting with you online.. while simultaneously laughing my head off at the group chats.
- I
<3 you and your speedpaints. I love that you got me painting too. And leading me to 2draw and deviant! But most of
all, for the great (and humorous) friendship. :)
- For the quirky moments chatting, the encouragement, the
random talks that go from books to anime to college to.. I forget. Friends forever?
-
My chatting partner in crime! Remember the times we scoured e-shuushuu for fairy tale images? The time we group chatted
til morning? The time we made up random stories? And who can forget roleplay.. Ah good times.
-
You were so friendly and encouraging! And you distracted Sel in her gundam rampages, hehe.. Go, go Vocaloid-lover! Do
accept my gift. :3
- My first friend in Minitokyo, whom no one can dedicate enough wallpapers to.. Too bad we haven't spoken
since the group chats..
- Oh Salma, I haven't seen you for ages.. Here's my return for the Valentine greetings!
- You've disappeared.. T_T Would this persuade
you to come back?
I might have missed out people.. but know this, THANK YOU!

This is for ! For the competition “Wake Up, People!” . I almost went out of colour
scheme, but I managed to stay put!
How it qualifies: This is my symbol of rebellion and release! Because I totally wasn't suppose to do this wall. But
I rebelled. I sneaked. It ish DONE! And the dottiness and colours makes me think of juiciness and bubbles.. And the
sunlight filtering down is a wake up call!
And ! I thought I wouldn't get to participate but I've did it! Read: http://forum.minitokyo.net/t63429 There are wings, yes?
;) If I have time, I'll make a layout too..
As well as . Yesh I am a
entirely lazy person who hasn't been active there. I'm truly sorry and I hope this wall will gain me
forgiveness. >_< For the My love for you is like a
lovely river of loving- CONTEST Yes, it might not look it but I think it qualifies for Valentine's. For one
thing, the colours are well.. romantic? And I kind of visualise her releasing the birds to send a message.. of her
love.
Compensation for my absence?
And last but not least My favourite group! Alongside
D-o-S. ;)
I would love it if you commented... analyse it if you wish.
Now here ends my far-too-long post..
EDIT: I forgot about the song inspiration. Er.. birdsong? Pipes... and oddly, the music for Viva la Vida.
