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)

Copy/paste from AP:
Amazing wallpaper.
Can't take my eyes from it.I love everything. The hole scenery is wonderful and makes feel like dreaming of a nice summer day at a lake. You make me feel a lot good things by looking at this wallpaper.
Flawless vectoring and amazing how you recreated parts of the scan. Like the fact that you made her boobies bigger LOL
The water lilies are also wonderful done. They are my fav part in this wallpaper to be true. Everything works so wonderful together it's a pleasure to look at this wallpaper. This one will go straight to my favs and to my desktop at home. Thanks for this wonderful piece of art ^^
