oh my god... You know... I was waiting for this wall...
the coloring, vectoring is simply perfect
the wall is way better than the original, not to mention you recreated most of her body
all in all it's just beautiful...
I'm stunned ;_;
I'm going to stop writing and faint now

Surprise finish! 8)
Note: you may not redistribute this wall to any other sites. Thank you.
OMG this wall has been a WIP since Delilah, but now it’s finally done!
Thanks to Vitaamin, Kitten, Deto, and Asa for your feedback and support throughout its creation. Also, this is my debut
wall for Brokentone! Thanks Deto!
It is a reworking of this scan:
http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Kaori-Minakami/item126124/
I remixed it a bunch, including making one flower pink, realigning her facial features, and making her boobs bigger so
she wasn’t such a bobble head. XD See the process pic to see how it came to life:
I ended up scrapping my ideas to include a bow on her hair tie and adding a dragonfly or fish, because it seemed busy enough already.
Made in photoshop CS2, lines vectored, everything else is painted using vector masks like how I usually do. It’s interesting how many are using SAI nowadays, but ps still gives fine results I think. ^__^
Stats:
Two brushes used: soft round and airbrush soft round
Main Psd file size (out of three files): 201 mb (combined would be around 250)
Layers: at least 350 on final psd, with some merged layers D:
(opening and saving were a @#$%^)
Painting the leaves was the most annoying part, each one took at least 40 min, and it felt like an assembly line.
>.>
Thanks for viewing!
I’m open to scan suggestions for future walls too. (lol waller’s block)

The colors are so vibrant and lovely. :)
I kinda wish you kept the koi in, though.
I never understood how you people use so many layers, though. x_X -

Finally! I was waiting for this for so long XD
I absolutely am in love with it, I love all your work but
I think this one is the best. The detail is so beautiful in each
lilypad, and lets not forget her! I adore her eyes and hair, it's
just stunning to look at. Amazing work Nyshie. -

hmm i think the eyes are a bit foggy and im surprised the water doesnt have more detail >D I guess i was hoping for a more wow lighting esp in the lily pads and in the brighter part of the walls
perhaps not my favorite BUT its definitely still gorgeous as usual coming from you -

Oh yes, I knew this was going to be a bomb and I'm glad you picked this gorgeous scan.
The eyes are amazing as usual, shinny hair xD, her blouse is looking fantastic, I like the lotus with pink&purple&blue tones, is really beautiful, and the water looks like actual water, and I know that's hard to do. What can I say, you are a master at this. =D -
